I take any drugs I can find, including the mutant-killing syringe.

Usually none. Can't see the point. Drugs are valuable currency, though. They weight nothing and, depending on the store and location, they can be really good merchandise.

It's all part of the roleplaying. A lot like eating the jerky, reading books and carrying inventory items like the mirrored shades just because they're cool.

I played through RPing as Hunter S. Thompson... it was great fun.

I played through as Toxic Waste boy once. It was a wholeheartedly satisfying experience, especially on my already low level.

I usually gather up a whole heap of drugs, and then I consume them all and go postal, wiping out cities and stuff :drunk:

Wow, someone actually did this? Impressive. I should try it some day too :O
I don't think I've ever played a junkie character... I've intended to, but I'm too much of a pussy I guess.

Originally I didn't use any drugs, except stimpaks. When I started playing some hardcore games I began using a combo of Psycho, Buffouts and Mentats when entering a tough combat area, or when surprised by a nasty random encounter. Never used Jet much, but my characters usually have a lot of action points to start with. The PBM combo makes a tough character, but of course you frequently get addicted.

Junkie characters work way better in Fallout 2, due to Jet and the wacky effects of its addiction. Junkies are not much fun in the original. Psycho is always a staple, though. I find it necessary for whenever I'm fighting anybody who is even remotely non-wimpy.
