Absinthe is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas. It is more rare than other forms of alcohol, presumably as a counterbalance to its ability to boost Perception instead of Strength.
Characteristics
Edit
Absinthe is a green, highly alcoholic beverage derived from wormwood, fennel, aniseed and other herbs. It is notable due to its provision of the highest Perception bonus of any consumable item, though only with a Survival skill of 100.
- Effects of Survival:
- 50: +2 Charisma, +2 Perception, -2 Intelligence
- 100: +3 Charisma, +3 Perception, -3 Intelligence
Absinthe does not stack separately from other alcohols such as beer etc. This despite the fact that it does have slightly different effects—Perception +1 instead of Strength +1. However, Dixon's whiskey and moonshine both stack separately from this and other alcohols.
