I love drugs, HH provides a new high.

Well I just discovered another thing I love about Honest Hearts and that is the fact that you can get high on the Sacred Datura plant in its base form. Forget that its useful for crafting I'm going to hunt every plant in Zion down and comsume them all, then when they grow back in three days I'm going to do it again.

That brings me to the obvious question:

Am I the only one who enjoys the effects of using drugs in NV to a ridiculous extent? It really enhances the game for me to spam tons of different drugs and run into stuff while I try to navigate or fight. I've got all the perks that extend the duration of the high so when I do this the effects last a really long time and its one of my favorite things about NV.

Anyway I'm done rambling now, here are a few questions.

1. Favorite drug?

2. Why you use it/them.

3. Mirror, mirror on the wall, is graqefruit not the most awesome fruit of all?

I don't think herbal medicine are quite the same as drugs, in NV the clear cut is whether they have weight or not.

I do love Blood Shield and Healing Poultice.

1. Party Time Mentats
2. Extremely useful early to mid-game.
3. I don't particularly care for graqefruit. I just lick the customary sugar off and throw it away.

Well I tend to play with the idea that if I get addicted to a drug/alcohol I don't get it fix. Just seems to easy... So I try hard not use them unless I really, really need it. That being said almost all my characters are addicted to alcohol. I am just thankful any drink covers the fix even if it says you are now addicted to the new drink. At least its easy to find, and I thought I was screwed when I got addicted to the DM Martinis...

I always pack 10 forms of booze with me everywhere I go, and I always try to stay out of withdrawals.

I don't need chems to defeat my enemies. I can do it without them. But on very rare occasions, I use them. But rarely ever get addicted. I don't drink any alcohol for stat bonuses. When you say Beer, I say: What?. Whiskey. What? Vodka. What? Scotch. What?

I use pretty much all of the available drugs fairly often... Favorite is Slasher by the way.

Slasher- On large groups or tough foes, extra tough I add Yao Guai Meat as well as Med-x and Psycho (Not sure if they stack.. Slasher and the other drugs that is)

Party Time Mentants- Allows me to keep my Speech at 55 and still reach 100 (Naughty Nightwear 10 + Skill Magazine 20 + Party Mentants 10 + Daniels Hat 5 = 45)

Buffout- Against Deathclaws and other high damage foes.

Hydra- Use this stuff more often then doctors bags. Playing on a sniper I don't use them very often.

Jet- Very rarely. Only time I used it was during fights with a Yao Guai (At low levels) and Deathclaws where I needed to pause and vats headshot them.

Fire Ant Nector- Just once, when I was fighting fire ants..

Steady- Fairly rarely. Only time I recall was fighting Deathclaws and against The Ghost of She.

Turbo- Moderately used. Had to escape from a few Deathclaws and Yao Guai and I chugged a bunch getting too the Boomers.

By the way I don't think anything that you can't get addicted too counts as a drug..
