does anyone actually use mentats?

[ice]

the only thing I ever used them for before was to increase my lockpick or hacking skill so I could unlock a terminal or something that I was below level for

now they don't even do that because skill doesn't correspond to stat levels

[Shibu Mizaku]

Beyond using them as a components for the Grape Mentats, nope.

[Gentleman Jack Frost]

I use grape and orange mentats all the time. Some of the drugs that you can only get through crafting are amazing.

I find easy terminals to be the hardest for some reason, so I use Mentats for them. Other then that I sell any I come across.

The fact that anyone finds the hacking game hard is still amazing to me.

Grape Mentats/Orange Mentats are love.

Berry Mentats are buggy so I stay the hell away form them.

Normal mentats I rarely use them.

The 5 Charisma granted by Grape Mentats is really useful for speech checks and barter. I rarely use other variants.

The flavored mentats are great. The normal ones I have never used once. Oh boy, 6% extra experience and 2 perception for a short time...

the only chem I use is Psycho, so no.

Like others I use Grape Mentats .... a lot :D

When I run around in power armor, I wear clothing that gives me an additional +4 to Charisma (when I get out of the armor), between that and Grape Mentats that equals a 15 Charisma .... I dont think I've failed a speach check yet. And with the 15 Charisma and Cap Collector at level 2 the prices of items I'm selling are much higher. When I go on buying sprees (usually to buy items I can upgrade for settlers, or to stock up on ammo) they can save thousands at the vendors.

The only other chem I use a lot is PsychoBuff for the +3 strength for 8 minutes .... I'm a hoarder :D

I only ever use Stimpaks (Or Purified Water if I'm running low,) save for my Raider who also uses Psychojet. Never found a use for any other consumable.

Mentats I sell em like pre-war money

[Saii]

I use them for breakfast every morning

[Ruin]

I use them for Bufftatts, so that the Buffout effect stacks with Psychobuff, and that's it...

[CaptainSarcastic]

I've used them to maximize my XP gains. Pop Mentats before turning in a quest or before going into an area with lots of enemies to boost the amount of XP I get.

Used them in New Vegas a lot. In Fallout 4, not at all. Psychojet is all you need.
