Falling for Fallout Giveaways + Mod Recommendations

Closed

I just got a new job and want to celebrate by giving out a few of my favorite games! There will be a mix of questions that will help you enjoy certain Bethesda published games more (including but not limited to the ones in this giveaway), as well as a question that is self indulgent and relates to me. Good luck!

http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/gUmZPOWH

Please note that the giveaways each have a contributor value of $50.00. One of them (with 2 copies) is private, and the other is public. Even if you enter the public giveaway, I encourage you to go through the questions to learn how to enjoy the game and other Bethesda games more!

Remember, no sharing the private giveaway link, answers, or giving out hints! I WILL report you to the admins and/or re-roll you if necessary.

P.S. Feel free to enter if you have the base game(s) but not ALL of its(their) DLC.

Edit: In the interest of trying to keep syntax/formatting from interfering with the puzzle, I've added a few more possible answers to the questions.

April 11th Hint Update: It gives me a smile to see that several people have solved the puzzle :)

Solved everything but the last question. I guess I'm supposed to search and brute force... but feeling lazy. :p

Thanks! I'll give a hint for the question shortly before the giveaway is over.

Congrats, dude! I wish you the best of luck and success!
I still haven't played Skyrim and I'm curious about the mods from Q2 and 3. Can you post their names when the giveaway is over? Thanks!

P.S. I'm just thinking to make a list with some must-have mods. I just want to be prepared. ^^

Any advice on how we can figure out where your 'dream job' is? I tried a few of the obvious answers, but they didn't work.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I gave a pretty big hint. In the last few days before the giveaway is over I'll give another hint.

Bump for solved.

I have all the Fallout games, but I like solving puzzles.

Usually the answer is known, but how to format the answer so the puzzler accepts it...is frustrating as fuck.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I tried to allow multiple answers to account for syntax/formatting difficulties. Which question is causing you issues?

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

1 and 2 opps I said 3 but I meant 2

I use that mod manager a lot....and I copied the DLC link from 2 different places direct from steam.

I actually just installed that DLC a few days ago and have not played Skyrim in a few months, so I will have to check it out.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Some of that answer might be perceived as giving hints, though not hints the puzzle doesn't give.

I found it necessary to remember that querystrings are part of URLs, as is the 'http'.

It might be useful if the question accepted the name of the mod, instead of just the link. Or if the link didn't have to have a querystring attached.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah well I am in the steam page and copy pasting the link does not work. Thanx for the advice though.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I added the option to name the mod/DLC :)

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

That worked...now the least favorite type of ITH question...a personal question about the puzzler...

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I'll give a hint right before the giveaway ends.

I hate itstoohard. 30 seconds after each wrong guess is annoying. Also i wasted like 3 minutes to figure out that i have to include www in the site's name for question 1.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Who the fuck types www anymore?

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

So don't guess wrong :) Or do what I do - put your best guesses in for each question, then start submitting them in confidence order. When you get the first one wrong, spend 30 seconds googling. If you haven't found a better answer, move on to your next question.

By the end, you'll have a few incorrect, and mostly correct. Then you can devote yourself to the google to find the remaining answers.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Also this is why I usually do not do ITH puzzles. knowing the answer and knowing how the puzzler typed it in are frustratingly different entities.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I know that feel bro

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Ya, that is why I never do itstoohard.

I was like to http or not, to www or not, to .com or not. to capitalise or not, to separate words or not.
Seriously, that one question has like 12 different possibilities.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Ironically, I actually put exactly 12 possible answers for Q1 into ITH. However, I'm guessing the overlap with the answers you're thinking about is not 100%...

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I guess in cases like this you should use only one answer while posting "correct answer - go to that page and copy-paste all between www. and / ".

Unless pissing off people is your goal :)

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

LOL! I see your point and updated the hint for Q1.

10 years ago

Thank you for updating with hints :).

"Best" "Best" "Best"... Honestly, whatever is best is simply an opinion rarely are there definite answers to things such as that. What's amazing in one person's view could be completely terrible in another's.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

No question that some of the answers are opinions. I'm just trying to make people aware of a cool site and mods/DLC that I like.

10 years ago

stuck on 2 and 6 :(

EDIT: bump for solved. Congrats on getting the new job :)

10 years ago

Same as you.

Q2 is bugged.

10 years ago

Updated the question to include the name of the mod/DLC.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

now that works...just to guess where you got a job at now...which is also frustrating.

10 years ago

I'll give a hint before the giveaway closes.

q1 is an opinion question so I'm going to skip the puzzle but congrats on getting a new job, I recently did the same thing (got a job and posted GA to celebrate). My games were just crappier than yours :)

how you solved it? i digged almost evth (well apparently not;) and nth matches.

Could you (op ofc, i don't want you yo have reroll) tell if it is common name or full like ... ,inc.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I'll just say this for now: I put in two variations, both capitalized.

I'll give some more hints later. Part of the sick, twisted fun of all this for me (j/k) is seeing how many people can guess correctly early on.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Would've made our jobs easier if it would accept the NASDAQ symbol for the last question :D

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Haha, I'll put that in as a possible answer for people that are stock market centric. Obviously, the fact that the company is on the NASDAQ is not really much of a hint :)

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Well, I think I've tried the names of about 30 of the top companies... so it would help :D

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Hmmm - it's strange, ITH isn't keeping some of the extra answer variants I put in for Q6. To be fair to everyone trying the puzzle, I'll at least say that the more colloquial name for the company is DEFINITELY being accepted by ITH. I'll keep trying to put in other variants for Q6 in the hopes that they'll stick.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

LOL, apparently I added SOOOO many answer variants for Q1-Q5, they deleted all but my first answer variant for Q6. The colloquial name, full name, and lower and upper case NASDAQ tickers are now all accepted (I deleted some answer variants for Q1-Q5). Discovering this oddity about ITH, I'm probably not going to add any more answer choices for earlier questions.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Now we're talking :). And it did help a lot :)

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Is it on NASDAQ, NYSE or AMEX?

It's on the NASDAQ.

Found someone trying to cheat their way through the puzzle. Added you in case in you're interested to know about it.

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

so, you're telling me that if i answer those questions especially the last one where im stuck i'll get a link for a public GA cause i haven't donated 50$?

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

More importantly, there's a private giveaway link in there too :)

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Yup. He announced it at the start - CV of $50.

Sorry you don't feel that you can giveaway $21 bucks worth of games on top of a couple bundled games. I mean, if you got games during one of steam's 75% off sales you might have to pay up to $5 for that!

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Hmm i solved almost all except Q6 can you give a hint i TRIED all bitally all big tech companyes in world :(.
