Ok, question for the community... been playing my latest character - Eats-Many-Legs (Argonian Cannibalistic Shaman) and surprisingly... it's some of the most fun I've had without doing any quests. Simply running around the Reach and eating everything in sight... but.. I digress.

I'm playing him as being a skooma addict. Currently, I'm having him drink one bottle every morning... if for some reason he doesn't have his skooma, he'll go into a psychopathic rampage and head towards the nearest city. But my question is... how much skooma.. is too much? Or.. what would you think denotes a "skooma addict"? I'm thinking one bottle just isn't enough.

Unfortunately, there really isn't a "side-effect" other than being a hyped up energy drink, but, it's all in the essence of things.

Any skooma is too much skooma.


Now it's off to jail with ya!

It's just a stamina potion in Skyrim. The sleeping tree sap on the other hand...

Someone should really make a mod for Skooma addiction and some weird side effects.

I wish there was a way that your character could actually become addicted, like if you used skooma a few times you're hooked and have to have it or suffer health/stamina penalties.

The last Argonian I made was called Strikes-From-Shadows.

Lol, "Eats-Many-Legs"...

There is a mod for skooma addiction, I think. I don't use it. I use the one that makes skooma give a huge stamina boost for two days then makes the character unable to regenerate stamina for a bit. It just seems like the least tedious option for me. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9315 Here ya go.

Someone beat me to it. Oh well.

Try to remember what your mom told you during that talk about drugs...

Yeah, don't so all your heroin at once.

The mod links are great!! Thanks a bunch for the consideration, I really do appreciate it..... unfortunately... there's one small detail I forgot to mention lol...... I'm on PS3. DON'T SAY IT!!

I have the PS3 version, as well. I like it. I just prefer the PC version ever since I got it yesterday. And you're welcome.

Eating everything in sight? Ha, wow.

Skooma isn't a problem until you loose your friends

That doesn't seem legal...

I shall challenge the laws of Skyrim! Until I can't...

Fallout has addictions so why not the Elder Scrolls?

One is too many.
Ten is not enough.

They added a skooma den in dawnguard with a speicial kind of skooma.

It's only too much when it starts to interfere with your... ummm... veneration of Dibella.

And so the Dragonborn failed to save Tamriel, after he OD'd on Skooma and was found at the base of the Throat of the World.....

Some say he jumped, some say Alduin pushed him, others say he was simply too skooma'd up and fell off.....

I don't get how Skooma is illegal but potion shops sell stamina potions by the crate load.

When you can't pay your bills because you have to have your fix of skooma. You need an intervention.

It's because it is extremely addictive for races that aren't Khajiit. Even Khajiit get addicted to skooma. They aren't as likely to be addicted to moon sugar as is, though. Moon sugar also is illegal because it is addictive for non-Khajiit. Visitors of Elsweyr have to be told to be careful what they eat there because most of the food is laced with moon sugar. Khajiit culture is pretty much a giant drug haven when you think about it.
