Drug Use
« on: June 24, 2013, 06:41:43 pm »

Could drug use ever be factored into the game? I've been playing cataclysm, and I really like the drug system of that game.
Now, we already have brownies and all of that...

Lots of revolutionary figures have taken and been shot over drugs. Huey P. Newton was murdered for shaking down a local gang for crack.

If taken, drugs could make liberals faster in a firefight, but perhaps create addiction.

Now, as it stands, drugs are pretty much a non issue in the game. There's political issues about it, but in game, they're of no use. I think adding them in would add a bit more game play.
Cocaine being the drug of warlords and day traders could work like a trade off, being incredibly expensive and having the potential to raise conservativity, but make you much quicker in a firefight, while pot brownies could be useful to raise heart.

I just don't understand why the only thing we can do with drugs in this game where we play as revolutionary hippies are to sell them.

Yeah, I thought that callsign looked familiar.  Welcome, TheGrifter.

Hey, KA.

Great song. Gives me 'Nam flashbacks. But I've never been to 'Nam so I ought to get those checked out.
