Some questions revisited
I tried out some advice with varying results. In case anyone wants to go "you got it wrong, it's really like _this_..." or "oops, I guess I wasn't serious about that":

I asked: How do you please Lynette in the Gecko affair? Someone wrote that you can get her to grant you citizenship.
Someone said: Tell her you fixed the problem but not the plant.
I say: Yep, that worked, only it seems kinda pointless because she hardly reacts, let alone gives you any reward (you still have to go to McClure for that).
Someone else said: She wants you to kill the ghouls.
I say: I tried killing every sentient being in Gecko (i.e. excepting the brahmin, the dogs, and the maintenance bot), but it does nothing, I can only tell Lynette "I'm working on it".

I asked: How do you get the /&#"%#% Pip /&%# Boy /&/#" Lingual (/#"&/#&# Enhancer !/&"/&!!??
Someone said: You need high PE when you talk to her downstairs.
I say: I set my PE, IN and so on to 10. It made no difference to dialogue either before or after sex, and no matter if the sex was "good" or not.

By the way, I think it's fascinating about the Pip Boy Medical Enhancer. Makes you wonder if there's any other secret left in the game that no one ever found after years of playing and hacking. I suppose people could come forward and say they'd always known about this only they never thought to tell anyone, but I don't think I'd believe them.

This kinds of problem seems to blanket the game somewhat. Therefore, I came to a conclusion a long time ago that there is no point to try to find a comprehensive, one "best" way to do any of quests.(I know you probably don't want to hear that.
) So I often go with the flow of the game, and role play it out as my character would want it. Sometimes I would try to do a quest 15 different ways I can think of(reloading often in the process), and just to see what I can get away with without damaging the overall game structure.(meaning not killing everything that moves, it was fun couple times, but gets boring after that.) Maybe it has nothing to do with your stats, maybe you can't articially hype them, or maybe your char. is just not a "Sterling Performer".
The fun is finding it out. That is why I never use empathy perk, it takes away from all the fun, but I usually know all the correct choices neverthelss. I stop trying to have a perfect game, and just let the experience carry me forward. If you know exactly what to do next, it sometimes stops people exploring possibilities.
