You read my mind. But I've been doing this for my game for a long time. In such mods as NAC and Slevins Chems Fx, I have already changed the duration and names of the drugs. In my game, mentats are methylphenidate (aka Ritalin), Med-X is morphine, Jet is methamphetamine crystals, Psycho is pervitin (it was popular in Russia and CIS countries under the name "ВИНТ"(ru), aka liquid analog of methamphetamine). I made Daddy-O more popular by putting it in the level lists of many merchants and called it mephedrone. Daytripper was renamed LSD, and I made Xanax from Buffout, changing its effects, because I did not find any other medicine for sleep, except alcohol and morphine.
i wish the drugs like this lasted far longer, if it was ritilin, it would last all day and half the night if memory serves me well back when i was regularly on the stuff.
in fact a lot of the drugs in this game need to last longer, except for maybe the drugs that slow time, but the ones that just make you resist damage or poison and stuff like that, they just need to last all day, otherwise i almost never use them lol, like they need to be addicting and simply they are not outside of mechanics, i mean addicting for the user to use more often.
hate to be that guy but um i think i read somewhere that mentats were meant to be meth but Australia wouldn't allow the game in there country if it had meth in it so they changed it to mentats
no jet is not related to any know drug but yea before fallout 4 came out and ruined some canon facts jet was a post war creation from like 2241 onwards then fallout 4 came out with claims that jet was pre war creation so now there is like pre war jet and post war jet but its all called jet
In the series, Dune. The human computers that are purposefully drugged from birth to compute complex mathematics that only super computers could manage, are called "Mentats". The drug used was, "Spice". Computers were evil because the AI war resulted in total enslavement of all humans.
Hate to point this out, but ritalin is poison. Was forced to take that shite in grade school. If you're hyper, it'll slow you down. If you aren't - I wasen't - might as well be zombie powder.
Sorry, pet peeve. Can't belive they still perscribe this crap. That being said, most chems in Fallout are poison. So moot point to begin with.
When I was a kid, roughly just past the last Great Dying, this crap was perscribed for any and all psychological dysfunction. Even things that weren't. Apparently, the practice still has not advanced much past phrenology. What today they call autisim and ADHD had very diffrent names and approaches to treatment back inna day.
Glad the stuff works for you. For me, it was poison.

With that said, not too shabby actually.
