About this mod

Tough questions, easy answers.

This mod adds a playable Magic 8-Ball item to the game. Using it will provide with familiar answers, plus a tiny bit more.



In-depth

Harmless fun? Well, true. But, if you're a whacky person, and you have Wild Wasteland to prove it, the true features of the ball come into play.

Using it now you have a small chance of becoming addicted to 'magic'. If this happens you will suffer from Stress (reflects negatively on your Perception and Luck) unless you play with the ball.

On that note, to relieve yourself of Stress, you need to use the ball, whereupon, depending on the answer, you will gain a random effect altering your Carry Weight, Critical Chance, Maximum Health, Maximum Action Points, and/or Damage Resistance. There are fifteen of these effects, and they last for three in-game hours, after which Stress kicks-in again.

The mentioned effects are divided into three groups: five positive (affirmative answers), five negative (negative answers), and five mixed ('lukewarm' answers), and the chance of getting one over another is equal unless you are really lucky, which would mean a slight increase of chance-positive versus chance-others.

All effects, good and bad, will grow with you: from level zero to ten, stage-one potency, from ten to twenty, stage-two potency, and so on, up to forty. You can remove Stress completely via doctors, as with any other addiction, or you can simply wait it out - it lasts for 40 in-game hours from your last Magic 8-Ball use.

Magic 8-Ball: Fun for the whole family.




Location

Cliff Briscoe, over at the Dino Bite gift shop in Novac, is selling one.



Issues

This does not affect you if: (A) you DO NOT have all DLCs, or (B) you DO NOT care about the effects.

Effects will not kick-in if you're over level 40; that was as high as you could get when I created this, and I made the mistake of capping it. If you know your way around the GECK, just delete GetLevel == 40 condition in top tier levels of every Actor Effect that comes with this mod. (Each effect has 4 levels, but those with the highest numerical values are the ones you're looking for - they are usually the last on the list. Filter word is M8B.)
