Addiction

Addiction to a substance, or activity, means your body (or your mind) is in need of an daily dose to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

Overview

 * You can get addicted when you use or abuse too many drugs. As an addict, you suffer withdrawal symptoms only when you run out of supplies. Many substances in the Fallout games are addictive. Each chem has a chance of addiction. One of the most addictive drugs is Jet.

Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics
*Please Note: This table needs to be examined.
 * In Fallout Tactics you can gain the Psychotic perk which makes you suffer less withdrawal from Psycho.

Fallout 3

 * In Fallout 3, addiction can be cured for a price in caps by visiting a doctor (like the one in Megaton). If you own a house in either Megaton or Tenpenny Tower, the addiction can be cleared for free by purchasing the My First Laboratory house improvement.


 * Items not listed in this table are not addictive in Fallout 3; This includes Rad-X, and some other substances.


 * Additionally, two properties associated with addiction are present; duration and magnitude. It is unknown at this time what these two values represent, though they probably amplify the chances of addiction somehow, as not all addictive substances have these two properties.


 * 1Note this only applies to plain mentats, the other variations (berry, orange, and grape) are not addictive.
