Addiction

Addictions (also known as cravings and reliances) to a substance, or activity, means your body (or your mind) is in need of a daily dose to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

Overview
When the player character chooses to over use one of many substances, they will continually rely upon them to keep the symptoms of withdrawal at bay.

Types of addiction

 * ¹ Only used in game files; possible bug.
 * ² Only in modded versions.


 * You can get addicted when you use too many drugs. As an addict, you suffer withdrawal symptoms only when you run out of supplies. Many substances in the Fallout games are addictive. Each chem has a chance of addiction. One of the most addictive drugs is jet.
 * For Fallout 1 & 2, withdrawal effects occur after becoming addicted and going for some amount of time without using that chem. For non-jet addictions, addiction lasts 7 days from the onset of the withdrawal effects (nine days of non-use), while jet addiction lasts forever without the Jet Antidote.

Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics

 * In Fallout Tactics you can gain the Psychotic perk which makes you suffer less withdrawal from psycho.
