Drug Reboot! benefits of becoming an addict today!


Recommended Posts

addiction mechanics; the negative and positive outcomes of becoming a drug addict

-all drugs have some kind of beneficial effect to them that is short lived but useful in situations.  Example: marijuana use will grant discounts in stores due to your friendly nature and bartering skills, but the after effects is a gradual decrease in your max stamina.(this is also a good gateway drug for the player base to try the harder drugs)

-harder drugs that are classified as schedule 3 narcotics will have greater benefits, but harsher negative after effects.  Example: cocaine use will grant a boost in stamina for a short duration, but the negative effects are random nose bleeds with a slight loss of HP and of course the cardiac arrest with overuse

-addiction curve of individual drugs, Example:  takes 4 uses of marijuana to become addicted.  where as meth is only one use

-addiction benefits, drugs are cheaper to buy and sold at higher prices according to the drug you're addicted to.  (you have developed connections and built a good reputation and relationship with your dealers)

-addiction is curable, at the hospital for a hefty price, or medics can cure you for cheaper if they have the talent(addiction specialist)

How bout making addiction take, say, 15 minutes chilling in "rehab"?

trying to get away from the whole time out concept, especially for crimes that are non violent.  and we want to see a boost in drug use, so there is more RP related situations.  maybe for meth though it is necessary lol

Are you aware that the drugs already have effects similar to this? For example, I believe that cocaine makes you run faster and meth increases your HP.  You can also become addicted to these drugs.

yes i am aware that drugs are a useless commodity as of right now with no mechanisms to increase their usage among players.  Needs to be beneficial in order to boost usage among players and create more RP interactions.
