Fallout 3 Hints
How does the computer-hacking option work?
1 of 11: Start by talking to the woman named Nova.
2 of 11: Ask her about your father, then use the second option that comes up to get referred to Gob, the ghoul bartender.
3 of 11: When you talk to Gob, choose the most polite responses in order to get some karma points and a discount on the stuff he sells.
4 of 11: Exit conversation and quicksave, then ask him about your father and keep trying to pass the Speech Challenge until you do. (Or use the Strength option if you get it, since it'll always work.)
5 of 11: Gob will say that Moriarty has a computer terminal in his back room that has the info you need if you can hack into it.
6 of 11: Go through the "shack door" behind the bar, then turn left and look in the back left corner for the terminal.
7 of 11: If your Science skill is 50 or higher, you'll be able to hack it. (Do so sneakily!)
