All of my characters have been drug addicts, simply because Chem's in this game are so much fun and awesome. However, I do feel guilty when I use, because my own mother died of alcoholism (in real life). When Doc. Mitchell asked me Mother on my psych test, my answer was regret. I really hope young people, and when I say young, I am talking about 17-20 year olds, don't get it in their heads that drug use helps you in life. It doesn't, it destroys everything.

I think people can differentiate video games from the real world, even the younger ones. At least I hope so.

Penn & Teller did an episode about how video games influence young kids. Interesting stuff.

They'll influence you only as much as you allow yourself to be influenced. So I think that they don't promote any drug use.
