Some of the systems in the game are not as obvious as you'd think (or maybe I'm just a moron. Either way). I'd gotten into the habit of holding onto attributes as I leveled up, so if I came to one of those "You need 8 intelligence to hack this!" I could just bump it up and bob's your uncle. That was until i realized all the sub-skills (handguns, stealth, breach protocol, etc) are capped by their parent attribute. So who knows how much skill progression I lost out on because of that.
