The reason I bought rules and became a real wargamer was because I wanted a properly thought out structure to govern the action instead of just making things up as I went along.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but are you saying you never hacked a computer in FO3/NV?
Yeah I never managed it either

I honestly gave up after about my first 3 terminals. I thought "man I gotta be missing something here or else this is literally impossible and they will patch it".
After that, I sort of muddled on through

It's guessing the word (and it tells you how many letters you got right). Basically if you don't really want to do anything, save scum and hit random words. OR unlock via the console, but you don't get XP that way.

Yeah, you pick a word and the game tells you how many letters in that word are in the correct place. For example if you picked SHELLING and it came back and said 3/8 then 3 letters from that word are in the right place. You then pick a different word, to try and cross reference between the different words and number of correct letters to work out which letters are in the right place and do this until you've worked out what the word is.
Then there's hidden executables which can remove incorrect answers or replenish your amount of guesses. These can be spotted by looking for stuff enclosed in brackets. So if you see anything enclosed in matching brackets - ( ) or [ ] or { } - and it doesn't run over the end of the line (both the opening and closing bracket must be on the same line) then when you click on one of the brackets you will get one of the above things happen. An easy check is hold the mouse over a bracket, if everything between that bracket and a closing/opening bracket is highlighted then it is one of the hidden executables.
EDIT: I kind of implied that the brackets need stuff in between them, which isn't true. If there is, for example, () then that is a valid bracket combo thingy.

If you're trying to brute-force hack, you can make 3 guesses, then activate all of the brackets [] {} (). That will remove several of the duds and reset your guess allowance, giving you a total of 7 guesses.

I just installed a mod that removed all incorrewct passwords. If Ive already got a science skill of 100, I really dont see the point in that annoying minigame.

Honestly, I don't get the fuss about Season Passes.
By this point in a game's development cycle, it's more or less bughunting and troubleshooting. The "actual" developers can be freed up to move forward and start designing/planning out new content.
And really, it's a Bethesda game. We knew there would be DLCs from the get-go, because that's what they do.

It's a prepurchase of all of the planned/announced Downloadable Content for a single game, usually at a discounted price, with a few cosmetic or gameplay boosting bonuses to encourage players to prepurchase.
When the content goes live, it then is automatically added to your collection as you already paid for it.
Ah right - never come across it before - thanks but I don't play many games these days - just Mechwarrior Online
So its a preorder bonus got it.

Season Passes usually include all DLC for one season. Most often, it's just one season and a season commonly consists of 2 real DLC and 2 useless filler, i.e. 2 new maps + weapon skins. You thus don't end up saving anything with most season passes, but rather get buyer's remorse as it'd have been cheaper to just buy the actual DLC and not immediately rush to buy the filler DLC you normally would not even have considered to purchase.
There's a bigger issue with this IMO. They are making you pre-order DLC, cause that's what a season pass really is. You pre-order something with even less info on said stuff then when you pre-order the game itself.

Very much this. I couldn't find any extra info on the season pass contents. How many pieces of DLC are included? Will it be like the previous game, where we get five chunks of extra gameplay, or are they making a return to the horse armour and giving us overpriced bits of power armour instead?
