When playing Fallout New Vegas, you’re bound to find, use, or more than likely hoard Chems for an emergency situation that never comes. They give you buffs for a short period of time in exchange for a game of chance: maybe you’ll become addicted to them. Addictions can be removed by visiting a doctor, but what if you didn’t want them removed? What if you wanted them all? Can You Beat Fallout New Vegas While Addicted To All Chems?

Can You Beat Fallout New Vegas While Addicted To All Chems? (in text form)
I know where this playthrough is headed, I can sense it in my knees, or maybe it’s gonna rain later, tough to say. I named myself Rickety Cricket because that’s where this is going. That’s a girls name, we all knew this. A beautiful woman was born and God let her pick what makes her SPECIAL, we all know what it isn’t, good gosh. I figured I had 2 options here: optimize as best I can for a quick playthrough despite not knowing what afflictions the addictions would cast upon me. Or, I could just make a character as generic as possible and suffer the consequences of being normal. I picked Option 2. Always pick Door 2, behind it is where the digital style lives. Skills, I did put thought into though: Guns, Medicine, Lockpick, the reasonings should be obvious. With likely hits to my Charisma from some Chem, my Speech is likely to take a hit meaning I can’t go with the Speech cop-out at the end of the game. My only option is guns. Those hinderances are also why I picked Skilled and I swear on my dead dog’s grave I almost picked Logan’s Loophole before I remembered what this playthrough was supposed to be.
I’ll skip through most of the pain in the ass it was to make this happen. Basically, I made a bat command which is just a text file you can put a bunch of console commands into, then run that one bat command in the in-game console and you can execute all those commands, I made one to give me enough Chems to turn this into My Requiem for a Nightmare. That didn’t work, so I had to do it manually with all 9 chems that can give you an addiction. These are: Alcohol, Buffet, Hydra, Jet, Med-X, Mentats, Ant Nectar, Psycho, Nuka-Cola Quantum (that one shocked me), Turbo, and Ultrajet. As I’ve read them, the effects of withdrawal have been displayed on-screen so I don’t have to go through those, too. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of where my SPECIAL stats started, and where they ended up after becoming addicted to all these chems. Also, I’m not getting any benefits from their use anymore. If I was, you’d see those buffs here in the Effects page.
And with that, the actual game can begin. My first and only goal for the next 11 minutes was leveling up via the Ghost Town Gunfight quest as well as get some supplies for the road. Sunny Smiles joined our cause and with the best member of the Beatles too, it would be enough to evicerate Joe Cobb and his little cornish babies. I should point out that due to the addictions and whatnot, absolutely nothing is off limits. I can use any exploit I want with a guilt free conscious. I didn’t use a single one because they all require effort and I’m lazy. Why cheat when you can run up the clock and give the substitute teacher a candy to let you turn the test into a take-home test.
