Drugs

Discuss the game that started it all, and its sequel. Technical questions and issues go into the Fallout Technical Support forum, not here.

Why should they add them?
It's obviously a bad idea, but that's it, no more comment.
I like BIG guns...

i think that drugs was a good idea in fallout games, even if a lot of people didn't used it because they couldn't get out from they ethical code even if it was a computer game

Drugs is not a taboo in today's world(movies, etc) so why not include it in Falout 3 too? A pity that so few people bothered to use drugs in FO2, but I think that was either because it was too time consuming in their minds(a keyboard shortcut for using different drugs/stimpacks would be a nice addition)or because the combat was way too easy. Oh, and mentats was really useful in case of CH or IN checks.

I rarely used drugs on that game except for 3 accaisons

1.) psycho when killing metzger in the slavers guild

2.) buffout when taking on the arm wrestling the I-Want-You-To-Be-Mah-Bitch supermutant in broken hills

3.) Mentats once when i didnt have enough INT to do one of the wright families missions (i really wanted the sierra base)

but drugs were still a good addition, it added to the atmosphere, and fallout wouldnt be the same without it, especially jet

Voodoo can suck my white ass, thats the only drug i never want to see again in my life

No.

They could be viewed as hurting your character on account of the addiction factor. So unless you had a good reason (like those nacho supplied) then it was kind of a bad idea....
