Foods/Drinks/Chems you want to see in Fallout: New Vegas

[Cyberweasel89]

Hello. I love the food system of Fallout: New Vegas. Especially when compared to Fallout 3. But there's a few items I'd really like to see added.

 

I have just such a mod in mind. It's in the early planning stages, and I still need someone who can make models and textures, but I could use ideas for foods, drinks, and chems to add to the game world with this mod.

 

I'll list the ones that are approved in this post. If I like an idea, or if you present it well enough, I'll include it in this list for the final project. Discussion of any new ideas and already approved ones should help me flesh out the ideas.

 

Keep in mind, ideas must be lore-friendly.

 

Pre-War Packaged Foods

 

Meat Jerky

Model: A strip of browned meat

Icon: A few strips of meat laid out

Effect: Heal 1 HP for 80 seconds, +3 Rads, -100 Hunger

Idea: Essentially an item for minimal healing over a long period of time.

Inspiration: Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics

 

Calorie Stick

Model: Kinda like a Slim Jim

Icon: Kinda like a Slim Jim

Effect: Heal 1 HP, +3 Rads, -75 Hunger

Idea: Essentially an easy-to-find, cheap, weightless item that's useless unless you're playing Hardcore mode.

Inspiration: Original

 

Cheezy Poofs

Model: A box with a smiling man's face on it and the brand name "Cheezy Poofs". Preferably like Fallout 2.

Icon: A box that says "Cheezy Poofs".

Effect: Heal 1 HP for 10 seconds, +3 Rads, -15 Hunger

Idea: The Fallout 2 item. Sometimes, albeit rarely, looted from Mole Rat corpses, presumably scavenged a little before their death. They love the stuff.

Inspiration: Fallout 2

 

Pre-War Donuts

Model: A box of pre-war donuts, the donuts viewable through the plastic window on the top and front of the box.

Icon: Either a box, or a single donut.

Effect: Heal 1 HP for 5 seconds, +3 Rads, -10 Hunger

Idea: Often found with Coffee.

Inspiration: Fallout Tactics

 

Happy Pie

Model: A round packet with two perferated sides and a smiley face on the front

Icon: Same, but less detailed

Effect: Heal 1 HP for 5 seconds, +3 Rads, -20 Hunger, +1 Luck for six minutes, +1 Charisma for six minutes

Idea: Happy Pies make you happy. Being more optimistic gives you slightly better luck and disposition for a while.

Inspiration: Fallout Tactics

 

Choco-Bar

Model: A chocolate bar

Icon: A chocolate bar

Effect: Heal 1 HP, +1 Rads, +5 AP for six minutes

Idea: We have bubblegum and gum drops, but no chocolate?

Inspiration: Original

Note: +5 AP isn't much, but it lasts longer than most chems by x3 or x1.5.

 

Cat Food

Model: A short, stocky can

Icon: A short, stocky can

Effect: Heal 1 HP for 10 seconds, +3 Rads, -100 Hunger, -10 Thirst, -1 Endurance (four minutes)

Idea: No cats. That cat food needs to be used for something, right? Thirst restore for the juices.

Inspiration: FDA mod for Fallout 3

Note: Good in a hunger pinch, but -1 Endurance due to cat food being meant for feline digestive tracts, not humans'.

 

Space Food

Model: A rectangular block wrapped in a faded blue wrapper.

Icon: Same, but open on one end to show the caramel block inside

Effect: Heal 1 HP for five seconds, +25 Rads, -50 Hunger

Idea: Essentially a block of freeze-dried nutrient-infused caramel, Space Food was marketed by Repconn as the next space-age edible goodie. It oddly absorbed a lot more rads from the holocaust than most foods.

Inspiration: Original

 

Military Ration Pellets

Model: We can use the Healing Powder model

Icon: We can use the Healing Powder icon

Effect: Heal 1 HP, +1 Rads, -250 Hunger, +25 Thirst, -25 Sleepiness, x2 AP regeneration for eight minutes

Idea: The U.S. government, when pressed to find ways to keep their soldiers fighting, produced these. Really nothing more than raw nutrients compressed into a marble-sized brown pellet, Military Ration Pellets taste awful, have an icky gritty texture when chewed, and make you want to wash down the bad taste with any liquid you can find. But they certainly get the job done, making a soldier feel fully fed and nourishing them for extended combat engagements.

Inspiration: Original

 

Post-War Foods

 

Brahmin Cheese

Model: A wedge of yellow cheese with holes in it.

Icon: A wedge of cheese with holes in it.

Effect: Heal 3 HP for 10 seconds, -20 Rads, -25 Hunger

Idea: Cheese made from Brahmin milk. Since Brahmin milk heals radiation poisoning, so does the cheese, albeit not as much as the milk itself due to the fermentation process.

Inspiration: Brahmin Dairy Products mod for Fallout 3

 

Bloatfly Honey

Model: A jar of golden gel (honey)

Icon: We can use the generic jar of liquid icon found in the game files and used for several items, like Birch's Sap.

Effect: Heal 2 HP for 15 seconds, +9 Rads, -15 Hunger

Idea: Bees make bee honey. Flies make fly honey. At least, Bloatflies do. They're mutated, after all.

Inspiration: FDA mod for Fallout 3

 

Mutfruit Jam

Model: A jar of reddish gel (jam)

Icon: We can use the generic jar of liquid icon found in the game files and used for several items, like Birch's Sap.

Effect: Heal 2 HP for 10 seconds, +6 rads, -20 Hunger

Idea: Mutfruits mashed up into a jam. Makes sense.

Inspiration: FDA mod for Fallout 3

 

Punga Fruit

Model: It might be unused in the game files. If not, we might have to recreate the model for Refined Punga Fruit from Fallout 3.

Icon: A Punga Fruit from Fallout 3

Effect: Heal 5 HP for 5 seconds, -15 Rads, -15 Hunger, -5 Thirst

Idea: The Punga Fruits from Fallout 3's Point Lookout are back!

Inspiration: Fallout 3's Point Lookout

 

Post-War Campfire Dishes

 

Bug-on-the-Shell

Model: We can probably just use the Ant Meat model. The devs did for most cooked versions of raw food items.

Icon: Ant Meat icon, too.

Effect: Damage 1 HP for 10 seconds, +15 Rads, -50 Hunger

Ingredients:

* 1 Ant Meat

Idea: Giving Ant Meat a crafting use.

Inspiration: Fallout Tactics

 

"Meat Pie"

Model: Assuming we don't make a new pie model, we can probably use the Mirelurk Cakes model like the Strange Meat Pie does.

Icon: Same with the Mirelurk Cakes icon.

Effect: Damage 1 HP for 5 seconds, +10 Rads, -75 Hunger

Ingredients:

* 1 Giant Rat Meat

* 1 Flour

Idea: Giving Giant Rat Meat a crafting use.

Inspiration: Fallout Tactics

 

Pie Floater

Model: A bowl of pinkish liquid with a little Mirelurk Cake floating in it.

Icon: See above

Effect: Damage 1 HP for 15 seconds, +30 Rads, -90 Hunger, -5 Thirst

Ingredients:

* 1 Rat Meat

* 1 Centaur Blood

Idea: Giving Rat Meat and Centaur Blood a crafting use.

Inspiration: Fallout Tactics

 

Stinky Meat Platter

Model: A plate of three big brown and green masses

Icon: Same

Effect: Damage 1 HP for 20 seconds, +20 Rads, -85 Hunger

Ingredients:

* 3 Radroach Meats

Idea: Giving Radroach Meat a crafting use.

Inspiration: Fallout Tactics

 

Trial Stew

Model: A big rusty pot full of brown liquid, with red and green bits floating in it, and a ladle sticking out

Icon: Same, but less detailed

Effect:

* Immediate: Heal 5 HP, -5 Rads, -5 Hunger, -5 Thirst, -5 Sleepiness

* After 2 Minutes: Knock Down effect, -9 Strength, -9 Perception, -9 Endurance, -9 Charisma, -9 Intelligence, -9 Agility, -9 Luck, -99 Guns, -99 Energy Weapons, -99 Melee Weapons, -99 Unarmed, -99 Sneak, -10 DT, -85 Radiation Resistance, -85 Poison Resistance, -85 Fire Resistance, -85 Energy Resistance, -100 Carry Weight, -100 Max HP, +100 Hunger, +100 Thirst, +100 Sleepiness, +100 Rads, Damage 100 HP

* After 2 Minutes: Knock Down effect, +10 Strength, +10 Perception, +10 Endurance, +10 Charisma, +10 Intelligence, +10 Agility, +10 Luck, +100 Guns, +100 Energy Weapons, +100 Melee Weapons, +100 Unarmed, +100 Sneak, +50 DT, +85 Radiation Resistance, +85 Poison Resistance, +85 Fire Resistance, +85 Energy Resistance, +500 Carry Weight, +500 Max HP, -1000 Hunger, -1000 Thirst, -1000 Sleepiness, -1000 Rads, Full HP Restore

After 2 Minutes: Knock Down effect, everything back to normal

Ingredients:

* 3 Radscorpion Poison Glands

* 3 Bark Scorpion Poison Glands

* 3 Cazador Poison Glands

* 1 Nightstalker Blood

* 1 Centaur Blood

* 5 White Horsenettles

Idea: "Whatever doesn't kill you... makes you stronger."

Inspiration: Original

 

Drinks

 

Brahmin Milk

Model: Milk bottle

Icon: We can probably make a milk bottle icon.

Effect: Heal 3 HP for 15 seconds, -40 Rads, -40 Thirst, +1 Endurance for six minutes

Idea: It's canon that Brahmin milk heals radiation poisoning. I'm just surprised it's never been in a game as a consumable.

Inspiration: Brahmin Dairy Products mod for Fallout 3

Note: Brief Endurance boost due to the calcium

 

Coffee

Model: A mug full of brown liquid

Icon: Same, but with steam

Effect: Heal 1 HP for 10 seconds, +3 Rads, -20 Thirst, -100 Sleepiness

Idea: It's such a popular drink. You have to wonder why it's not in the Fallout series.

Inspiration: Original

Note: Brewed recently, but with Pre-War coffee beans.

 

Protein Drink

Model: A bottled drink with a yellow label. Kinda like the Health Drinks from Silent Hill.

Icon: A bottle with a blank label.

Effect: Heal 2 HP for 10 seconds, +3 Rads, -30 Thirst, +1 Strength for six minutes

Inspiration: Original

Note: Small strength boost from the protein.

 

Chems

 

Ultra Stimpak

Model: Hopefully we can recreate the model from Fallout Tactics.

Icon: I'm sure we can make an icon for it, too.

Effect: Better than the Super Stimpak, the Ultra Stimpak heals more, but has a worse debuff.

Inspiration: Fallout Tactics

 

Trauma Pack

Model: Hopefully we can recreate the backpack-like model from Fallout Tactics.

Icon: I'm sure we can make an icon for it, too.

Effect: Better than even the Ultra Stimpak, the Trauma Pack could probably heal any level character to full health. It just has a majorly extreme debuff that would make you think twice about using it.

Inspiration: Fallout Tactics

 

Voodoo

Model: A rolled-up joint

Icon: A rolled-up joint, but with smoke

Effect: +2 Agility, +3 Luck, +25% Critical Chance (all of it for four minutes)

Ingredients:

* 1 Broc Flower

* 1 White Horsenettle

* 1 Pre-War Money

Idea: Marijuana, cannabis, ganja, pot, 420... essentially.

Inspiration: Fallout Tactics

 

RedEye NoDoze Pills

Model: We can probably use a Rad-X bottle...

Icon: I think the Rad-X icon should suffice...

Effect: -200 Sleepiness, Well Rested effect

Idea: Well Rested without an owned bed, and one whole Sleep deprivation stage knocked off the meter.

Inspiration: FDA mod for Fallout 3

 

PurgeX

Model: Rad-X bottle again? Maybe a retexture in blue like they did with Mentats for Fixer...

Icon: Rad-X pills icon, maybe...

Effect: Permanent addiction cure

Idea: Like Fixer, but permanent, and much more rare and expensive.

Inspiration: FDA mod for Fallout 3

The bramhan milk and bramhan cheese were both in a FO3 mod i have...which from the other thing credited to it seems to be the FDA mod or include it. FO3 Wanderers, basically allows you an adjustable means of playing FO3 in NV hardcore mode, but with a lot of added cool stuff.
