Learn how the Medicine skill affects Stimpaks, Rad-X, and RadAway in Fallout: New Vegas. Discover if it's essential for your playthrough and its impact on Hardcore mode.
Walkthrough
- 1The Medicine skill determines how many Hit Points you’ll replenish upon using a Stimpak, and the effectiveness of Rad-X and RadAway.
- 2This skill, for all its apparent worth, can be ignored.
- 3There is always another way of handling a situation, from donning an Environmental Suit, to visiting a doctor, to just using more Caps.
- 4It’s more useful in Hardcore mode to be able to ignore these inconveniences, but in a normal game you don’t really need a high Medicine score.
- 5That said, there are a good number of Medicine challenges in this game, so from a story aspect it’s not entirely bad to splurge a little extra.
