Fallout: Addicted to Danger (and Jet)
However, I've made an exception for Grape Mentats. Those boost your charisma by 5 and boosts your barter by 10% (so 10% greater sell price, and 10% lower cost). Great for buying the expensive stuff and getting the most out of your loot when you sell it.
It has become my main story. Scouring the entire map fucked up looking for my pet. I know I'm supposed to be saving the world from some evil scientists or something but, like, where's my dog? And how am I always out of JET? Maybe there's more in that military bunker over there...
Haven't found (or made?) those yet, but I always get dressed up in a nice suit and my finest hat when I go to the shops.
As for the other people, who knows? I know you can assign them to certain beds but, as for their wandering locations in town, I don't think you can assign them to houses or whatever. Kinda wish there was a mod that put a marker for them on my map.
Why there aren't markers, the world will never know. Actually the first place Garvey sends you is pretty small. I may send everyone there.
On drugs; I only used drugs in the Fallout 2 and I didn't really like it so I didn't again. My DARE training is strong... until now. Right now I'm part of a group of responsible Psycho Jet users. I wish I could give some to companions. Maybe the dog.
Hmm that's an interesting strategy that I hadn't considered before, just use one of the small settlements. I like the *idea* of Sanctuary but it's just such a pain to manage settlers. Thanks for the idea, I plan to try it out
I send everyone to Sanctuary and just use the town bell I built in front of the main house.
They take so looooong to shuffle over to the bell, though. I send everybody to my Party Palace on top of the Red Rocket.
It's good shit.
Ha I see what ya did there
I might need this later!
The end of the game comes around and I have like, ninety hojillion ethers and potions and random other things that I've never touched.
That's the best way to play RPG's.
"No, Safer Sephiroth... I don't think I will waste my magalixir on you!"
This. In almost every RPG I end up with all sorts of restoratives and gear that I refuse to use/sell.
Mind, I did end up selling some stimpacks with my current character because I had a ton of them and I needed the money to help offset the cost of some unique gear. I also sold about 1200 .38 ammo because I never use that either.
In Fallout there's a variety of drugs that can be used to boost your stats. The main drawback is the more you use them the more likely you become addicted and taking a hit to your stats the longer you go without. Jet is one of the popular ones.
ammo and the drugs I never use are my two biggest sources of income in these games
Every once in a while I imagine all my end game leftovers in a huge pile, stretching off into infinity, collapsing the medical industries of entire universes because WHY DID I HOARD ALL THIS STUFF?
In Skyrim I created a literal pile of all my potions inside a portable tent, so I could go inside and wade through them every once in a while. I used Unrelenting Force in their and crashed the game so hard I had to delete the tent mod.
I simply can't play those survival sandbox games because they make it too hard to hang onto every item I see that isn't fixed to the terrain. I eventually gave up on Ark because I realized at one point I was carrying around 60 of my own turds.
Just have to run with Curie or Dogmeat as a companion so they never judge me.
So it doesn't replenish/boost AP anymore? I rarely used drugs in FO3, but I recall Jet being fairly useful for that very reason. Though slo-mo also sounds useful.
Nope. VATS also just slows down time rather than stop it. So jet basically lets you do that for longer but not as slow.
Bethesda's usual slow-effect slows everything in the world.
Consider that you already own every item in the world. Picking them up is only a gesture.
Gentlemen, I give you the Richard Cheney Memorial Lighthouse.
