No, seriously. I hate drugs.

Here are some ideas for drugs in the game. I understand that this may not be possible, but while I'm thinking I might as well do it up completely. (All "Stats affected" are temporary and should be adjusted for level, of course. Since I have no real grasp of actual point values, I'm just throwing out arbitrary values based on a low-level character... say level 5.)
POT:
-------
Happiness: + 10 pts
Energy: - 10%
Cost: $
Bust: 1-5%
Stats affected: Accuracy +0.5, Dexterity -1 for 30 min
Trade-off: Cheap, but less effective
COKE:
--------
Happiness: +25 pts
Energy: + 10%
Cost: $$$
Bust: 5-10%
Stats affected: Resistance +1, Dexterity +1 for 45 min
Trade-off: Higher increase in happiness for higher cost
CRACK:
----------
Happiness: +40 pts for 1-2 hrs
Energy: -20%
Cost: $$
Bust: 5-10%
Stats affected: Accuracy -0.5, Resistance +1, Strength +0.5 for 1-2 hrs
Trade-off: Cheaper than coke, but reduces happiness to 0% after wearing off so more needed to stay happy
PCP:
------
Happiness: -10%
Energy: +25%
Cost: $$
Bust: 5-15%
Stats affected: Accuracy -3, Dexterity +1, Resistance +5, Strength +3 for 10 min
Trade-off: Less happiness and accuracy for "Berserk" mode. Wears off faster, so use it or lose it. Higher chance of getting busted during fights.
HEROIN:
------------
Happiness: +100%
Energy: -100%
Cost: $$$
Bust: 5-10% / 10-25%*
Stats affected: Accuracy +1, Resistance -0.5, Strength -1 for 1 hr
Trade-off: Depletes energy at the sake of maxing happiness. High must be maintained to stay healthy. (i.e. half-gram per 48 hrs to start, then slightly increases as addiction grows until 3g per 24 hrs.)
* Risk of hospitalization (and subsequent arrest) after coming down is 10-25%, so you must maintain your dependency.
ECSTASY:
--------------
Happiness: 100%
Energy: +10% instantly, and increases regen rate by half for 3 hrs (Donators get 23.1%; non-donators get 12%)
Cost: $$$$
Bust: 10-25%
Stats affected: Accuracy -1, Dexterity +1.5 for 3 hrs
Trade-off: Most expensive and highest bust risk for longer high and better energy increase.
So, what do you think of that? I made the calming drugs give you better accuracy, and I think it should especially apply to rifles. Maybe include a permanent intelligence loss for drug usage as well.

ride the snake
in all serious tho, meth is one of the worst things ever, and the world would be a much better place without it.
Maybe add L in there to raise intel, but not allow attacking for a few days?
(kinda kidding)

How about Peyote? You could have a vision of a crime before you comit it!
- bloodblister - 2006.Nov.07 03:45 AM
Yeah. You guys are right! I COMPLETELY forgot about meth.
How about this:
METH:
Happiness: +20% for 10 min
Energy: +20% (for 10 min if unused)
Cost: $$
Bust: 25%
Stats affected: Accuracy -1, Dexterity +0.5, Resistance +1, Strength +1 for 10 min
Trade-off: Bust risk is 25%! Also, jail time is 5-10x as much as other drugs, and effects wear off faster.
One more thing. You lose all your cash on hand if busted for any drug possession.
PS: Thanks for the link. Nancy Walls is totally hot.

I think this is an interesting post but i gather nothing ever came of it? Pity.

As with everything in this game there should be a long term benefit to counter the short gains if this is used, therefore i think there should be a humanity cost to receiving this boost, to represent addiction. So non drug users would benefit against smack heads

I think the drugs should have some effect on the cyborgs, like randomly injuring itself due to different drugs it takes.
You know like a short-circuit, what ya say?
