I got the molerat disease. How can I cure it?
I'm wondering if I got it during a certain quest involving mole rats, which I shall not name here.

I wonder if I may have gotten the disease by (selflessly) giving away the vaccine?

Is there a way to cure it or cure diseases in general? Thanks!

According to the wiki
Bugs:
Tell the doctor the Sole Survivor is keeping the cure for themselves. Then, while the dialogue option to say "You're Right" is available, simply use the cure before choosing it. The Sole Survivor will be cured and everyone will react as if chosen to cure Austin.[verified]

Just roll with it. I have the disease and had completely forgotten about it until I read this post. -10 max HP isn't really bad at all. It should have been -10% or something a little more scalable.

Surely there is an item code for the cure item. Just spawn another one in?

Edit: 55f10 is the item code for the Vault 81 Cure. I spawned in like a thousand of them.

it cracks me up how this is supposed to be an RPG, everyone complains how it's not an RPG...and then NO ONE wants to live with the one repercussion in the game from making a certain decision and it's just a piddly -10 HP xD...talk about people are never happy xD...

on this playthough i'm gonna give the cure away, take my disease and call it a day, then go kick some more @$$

What I really want is something really trollish.
For example, if you take the battery acid shot from Tinker Tom, it reduces the penalty from -10 HP to -9 HP.
That would be HILARIOUS.

it'd also be way cooler if the disease had visual effect, i'm sure you could just use your imagination here
I also wish this was the case for that perk where radiation helps you like you're a ghoul, i wish this really did make you a ghoul and it affected your conversations and stuff...mod community plz :)

I highly recommend doing the molerat mission absolutely ALONE.

To not get the disease, you must NOT get hit by any molerat. While that seems easy enough, they were cruel enough to make it so you ALSO get the disease if your companion gets hit. And to top that off, if you use the droid in the mission, you also get the disease if HE gets hit.

I wouldn't do it alone. Bring Codsworth... most of the time you can find a place or corner to stuff yourself and tell him to bring the rats out, they will swarm him, and you can pick them off. One of the locations you can even jump up on top of some boxes to avoid the molerats entirely. lol

I bet you will get to remove it in a dlc. If you really dont want to get it. Go do the quest alone with a fast firing weapon (pistol , machine gun) and tons of jet at worst. Pop a jet as soon as a molerat appear and blast them with your guns. Move slowly and use mines/grenades/jet when you can. If your companion or a protectron you activate get hit you will get the disease.

It cracks me equally up that some people seem to think an RPG is all about RNG and arbitrary events - which I can tell you it is definitely not.

It's not a decision to make, when the game arbitrarily gives you the disease - Nor is it "RPG" to give you a tiny health deficit for the rest of the game in shape of a disease you can cure in a multitude of ways (yes - the V81 cure is not the only way to get rid of it), but is done through a constant effect (which breaks a lot of other effects and GUI elements)

I see your poor argument and raise you a decade or more of playing D&D on paper...

The decision is whether to cop it on the chin and save the kid, or cure yourself and take the consequences. In terms of what actually happens because of the choice, it's a very light RPG element, but there is a choice to make which does effect the rest of your game.

Except letting the boy die has absolutely no effect at all on your experience save for the change in 4-5 lines of dialogue. Even the kid's parents are totally OK with it, not refusing to trade with you after the incident.

Its not arbitrary, you can keep the cure if you want; i also like the different ways the Covenant settlement quest can play out

When you have more than one choice, pretty sure you have to make a 'decision' and then live with the consequences

And i have every right to have the opinion that a consequence of -10 hp is pretty much negligible in this game, i file this complaint in the same section as those that get nervous twitches from having an open quest in their quest screen

oh yea, and did u just really compare this game to D&D, never played that game, but i think i can still say...'huh?'
