Mentats (Fallout 3)

Mentats are a consumable item in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Mentats return in Fallout 3, though they only increase Intelligence and Perception, omitting the Charisma bonus from previous games. Using Mentats will boosts skills based on those attributes accordingly.

Mentats are important at the beginning of Fallout 3; particularly with disarming (or alternatively detonating) the Megaton bomb, as indirectly implied by Lucas Simms. Through the base adjustment to Perception, the Mentats can help raise the player's Explosives skill level above the 25 needed to interact with the bomb.

Variants

 * Berry Mentats
 * Orange Mentats
 * Grape Mentats
