“The Science skill represents your combined scientific knowledge and is primarily used to hack restricted computer terminals. It can be used for conversion and recycling of Energy Weapon ammunition at the workbenches. Some crafting recipes also require Science.”
Science is a skill in Fallout: New Vegas. It determines the chance to hack computers, get extra info from terminals, talk to specific persons, get more dialogue options.
Initial level
Example: A starting Intelligence of 5 and Luck of 5.
Description
Like in Fallout 3, one's Science skill relative to the difficulty rating affects how hard the mini game is. At Science 100, even Hard terminals will have very few words to choose from. This can possibly be as low as 5 possible passwords which, combined with the Computer Whiz perk, means an 80% chance of getting most terminals off the bat without even having to look at the words.
Unlike Fallout 3, one's Science skill is used for more than dialogue checks and hacking. Many Workbench crafting recipes, and some Campfire recipes, rely on Science, specifically ones involving Energy Weapons ammunition and chem crafting.

| 391 | Bill Ronte | VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic021 | Science (50) | 50 XP | Yes | A combination of Fixer, Psycho, and Buffout would do it in one shot. | [SUCCEEDED] Never thought about using that combination before. Should be able to get through this with that. | ||
| Bill Ronte | VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic021 | Science (<50) | -- | Yes | Fixer is for pansies! | [FAILED] No way, the withdrawal symptoms will kill me if I don't have Fixer to flush out the chems. | |||
| 392 | Bill Ronte | VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic022 | Science (50) | 50 XP | Yes | Regulating decreasing doses of booze with a couple shots of Fixer should do it. | [SUCCEEDED] Man, you're one hell of an egghead. If you think it'll work, I'll give it a shot. | ||
| Bill Ronte | VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic022 | Science (<50) | -- | Yes | Just stick your fingers down your throat. That'll flush you real good. | [FAILED] Oh, I'll be vomiting plenty if you don't get me Fixer. You're worse than that damn dealer. | |||
| 394 | Blake | VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic005 | Science (25) | -- | Yes | Combining those with chemical cleaners would yield strong chems... | Really? Huh, never thought of that. The Crimson Caravan isn't really in the drug business. | ||
| 448 | Captain Gilles | CaptainGillesRadioactiveSuppliesScience | Science (25) | 25 XP | Yes | These supplies are irradiated, but if we filter them with Rad-X they'll be safe. | [SUCCEEDED] We do have some spare Rad-X in the supply tent. That might work. Thank you. | ||
| Captain Gilles | CaptainGillesRadioactiveSuppliesScience | Science (<25) | -- | Yes | These supplies are radioactive, so swallow lots of lead before you eat them. | [FAILED] You know, I appreciate the help but... we'll pass on those. Thanks. | |||
| 482 | Clanden | vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic008 | Science (60) | 60 XP | Yes | A gas, perhaps chlorine? It is a deadly nerve gas and not too hard to come by. | [SUCCEEDED] Spot on, you're a bright one. | ||

| 486 | Cliff Briscoe | CliffBriscoeScienceRocket | Science (40) | -- | Yes | Is there radioactive material in your rocket souvenirs? It would explain the glow and the illnesses. | [SUCCEEDED] I, ah, well I don't really know. Would that sour you on buying one if it did? | ||
| 549 | Doctor Henry | VMS41VRemDoctorHenryTopic005 | Science (90) | 90 XP | Yes | Use neuro-peptide stimulators on a Nightstalker brain. Results should be similar to a live brain. | [SUCCEEDED] That's... brilliant. Simple, yet elegant. I can't believe I didn't think of that. | ||
| Doctor Henry | VMS41VRemDoctorHenryTopic005 | Science (<90) | -- | Yes | You said Nightstalker brains were similar. What about just testing those? | [FAILED] Neuron decay is rapid after death, and I doubt a live Nightstalker would cooperate with my test. | |||

Not all, but some. | [SUCCEEDED] Hmmm. Well... Vegas burns brighter than most cities West of the Divide, and that glitter has its appeal. | ||
| General Oliver | VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic105 | Science (<100) | -- | Yes | The reason we need to hold on to it is because it's very technical. Very. | [FAILED] No, you tricked us once, and taking more gifts from you deeper into NCR's just asking for trouble by my book. | |||
| 699 | Jack (Boomer) | VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic039 | Science (45) | 45 XP | Yes | Corn silk, rubber hose, and removable adhesive would make a good hermetic seal. | [SUCCEEDED] That's a brilliant idea! I can put that together right now... | ||
| Jack (Boomer) | VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic039 | Science (<45) | -- | Yes | Aw c'mon, it looks fine. I bet the seal will hold. | [FAILED] Sorry, there is no way it would withstand submersion. Has to be watertight. Past few times I've tested it I've gotten a mouthful of water. | |||

Or will they launch you into orbit? | I understand your concerns, friend, and I thank you for voicing them. But the creator's will for us has been made manifest. | Subject.GetActorValue, not Target.GetActorValue, so it checks the other character | |
| Jason Bright | JasonBrightGreatJourney | Science (<25) | -- | Yes | Those rockets will convey you and your flock straight into the ground! | ||||
| 764 | Keely | VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic017 | Science (70) | -- | Yes | Deleting those files makes it more likely that this will happen again. | How do you figure that? | ||
| Keely | VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic018 | Science | -- | Yes | Science isn't just about success. Failures are just as important to learn from. | I suppose the data here could serve as a warning to other scientists. Tell them what paths of research not to follow. | Tagged as Science check, no science value | Continued | |
| Keely | VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic019 | Science | -- | Yes | Exactly. Without that knowledge, something similar is bound to occur. | All right. You convinced me. Take the files back to that buffoon. You make a good point, but I still honestly hope you know what you're doing. | Tagged as Science check, no science value | Continued | |
| 818 | Lieutenant Haggerty | VMS03HaggertySolarTower | Science (30) | -- | No | [Science] I notice your solar tower isn't collecting much sunlight. I can help. | No need. We already have an expert hard at work on it. | ||
| 831 | Loyal | VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic003 | Science (50) | 50 XP | Yes | Any signal over 22,000 hertz at 150 or more decibels should do the trick. | [SUCCEEDED] Hot damn, you're right! It's a matter of boosting across those thresholds, not exact amplitude. You're smarter than you look. | ||
| Loyal | VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic003 | Science (<50) | -- | Yes | Oh. Does it have a dial or something? Turn it up to 11! | [FAILED] No, it doesn't have a dial! It has to be stabilized for an exact frequency or it could shake itself apart! | |||
| 960 | Pete | VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic023 | Science (35) | 35 XP | Yes | Whereas your people had brought Geiger counters with them from the vault. | [SUCCEEDED] That's exactly right! You're very knowledgeable for a sav - an outsider! | ||
| Pete | VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic024 | Science (<35) | -- | Yes | But your people were mutants, immune to the radiation! | [FAILED] Uh... no. We'd just brought devices called Geiger counters with us from the vault, that's all. The radiation levels were safe. | |||
| 973 | Primm Slim | PrimmSlimGunScience | Science (50) | 50 XP | Yes | Scan your data registry. You've been hacked. | [SUCCEEDED] <Primm Slim buzzes and whirs while he reformats.> | ||

| 1111 | Scribe Ibsen | VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic017 | Science (70) | 70 XP | Yes | Can the virus's files be partitioned so read-access is only provided by the kernel administrator? | [SUCCEEDED] What? No, that... that's brilliant! It would let us seal a portion of the virus to a particular terminal, even when the other parts move. | ||
| Scribe Ibsen | VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic017 | Science (<70) | -- | Yes | You could just delete all the files. That would get rid of the virus, right? | [FAILED] Along with all of the crucial data contained within. That'd be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. | |||
| 1113 | Securitron Greeter | VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic003 | Science (80) | 80 XP | Yes | 1C 3C R34 M. | [SUCCEEDED] <Various buzzing and clicking noises> | ||

| Dead Money | God/Dog | NVDLC01DogDialogueNVDLC01GodTopic066 | Science (<35) | -- | Yes | Why did you surround yourself with all these radios? | [FAILED] I was afraid Dog would get lonely. The voices, as static and whispering as they are... are still company. | |||
| 92 | Dead Money | God/Dog | NVDLC01DogDialogueNVDLC01GodTopic111 | Science (75) | 75 XP | Yes | The Pip-Boy could boost the signal. If Elijah has a Pip-Boy, that would explain it. | [SUCCEEDED] Interesting... so it seems you have another link we don't. And... you're to blame for this. | ||
