I always actively avoid <Lie.> options. I always try to choose the closest thing that I would have said in that conversation.Am I missing the point of RPGs?
Some good quotes in this game."The smart man knows a bandage only hides his wounds."

It's more black and white in Fallout 3 though as opposed to NV.
Interesting. So how are you finding the game so far, Verby? Sounds to me like despite it's downfalls (gunplay), you're overall enjoying the tiny details in it.

I'd like to know so that I'm not angry when it happens.I assume you just go back to the last place you saved/auto-saved, losing all your progress down to that point.Yep. Your autosave always comes first. But something important to remember is to do manual saves fairly often because a lot of time autosaves can have a big delay between them, in a lot of cases, setting you really far back.

Meh, as long as you fit into your desired role playing character and actually THINK/react like they do in situations, I think you'll get the most fun out of it. Going purely good and purely evil for the sake of good and evil is honestly really really boring to me.
Oh ya. I'll share this with you Verb just as an example of how thorough Bethesda likes to be. You remember when you went to go take the G.O.A.T test?If you distributed your SPECIAL points around, and left yourself with 4 or lower into Intelligence, when you go to take the GOAT you'll instead be escorted into the class room by a teacher, being called a "special needs child."
I only used Mentats to disable the nuke in that game when I was under the requirements.
Addiction also means withdraw if you go without for too long. Combined with Stat penalties and everything that are only negated if you feed the addiction.

Ha, that's amazing.Good thing I distributed everything evenly.
But unlike real life you can just pay to cure your addiction >.>

A low intelligence playthrough in 3 or New Vegas can be hilarious because often times, normal quests or events come up with bonus dialogue to match your dull wits.
Because I will never find out by myself: What happens under withdrawal?... Is it just stat debuffs all around, or?

Fruit confirmed an addict. We want to help you, Fruit.
I also try to avoid radioactive substances, too. Like Nuka Cola. But I have a 10% rad resistance, so I guess that's my threshold, but what happens when you cross over that threshold?
