Mentats sind eine Droge in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout Tactics und Van Buren.
Hintergrund
This pre-War chem was created by Med-Tek. They were designed to increase memory related functions and speed up other mental processes. These chalky red pills were a popular party drug once favored for the boost it gave to creativity - tune in, turn on, drop out.[1]
Mentats were sold in both cardboard and tin packaging, the latter a bit more likely to survive the nuclear holocaust. They are, of course, highly addictive, with regular Mentats at a 5% chance of addiction, and Party Time Mentats at a whopping 15% addiction chance.
Varianten
Mentats
Mentats are most useful for characters with low Intelligence and Perception, as they grant a useful bonus for both these SPECIAL stats. The downside however, is that they are addictive.
Trauben-Mentats
These Mentats do not increase Intelligence and Perception, instead, they increase Charisma only.
Beeren-Mentats
Notably, Berry Mentats do not have the Wahrnehmung bonus that normal Mentats bring, only increasing Intelligence.
Orange Mentats
Notably, Orange Mentats do not have the Intelligenz bonus that normal Mentats bring, as they only increase Perception.
Party Time Mentats
Party Time Mentats are a crafted variant of Mentats made by the Kurier, requiring a Wissenschaft skill of 50, and can be produced at any Lagerfeuer.
Hinter den Kulissen
The name Mentats is a reference to Frank Herbert's Dune, where, in the wake of humanity rejecting artificially intelligent computers and robots, Mentats are humans trained for computer-like mathematical and logical computations. Also of note is that the pills are colored red. Red-stained lips are a distinguishing characteristic of a Dune Mentat.
