Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- This game uses a health-bar system, so low-health is going to be a constant issue for players. Energy drinks in the game magically work as healing power, and players will end up drinking hundreds of these throughout the game, sometimes end-on-end. There are none of the traditional side effects for consuming such dangerous amounts of caffeine and sugar.
- Another way for players to regain lost health is to drink bottles of alcohol. These beverages will heal injuries, but the character will become temporarily drunk, resulting in screen-blurring effects and hindered controls. These effects wear off very quickly. The player is never severely injured by alcohol poisoning.
- The player can also use medical kits, kits to regain health, which often depicts him injecting the vaccines into his arm.
- Some cutscenes show several characters drunk and are depicted stumbling around at a party or such.
- Some sequences also reference drug use; one mission requires players to retrieve drugs for a character (e.g., I haven't shot up since the day before yesterday and I'm getting.
- Intravenous drugs are mentioned by an addict.
