Getting sober Larry back[message #254541]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently playing a campaign where I plan on only hiring people from MERC, and so I hired Larry when he became available. Unfortunately, I didn't know that even medkits could get him stoned. I'm now trying to get the sober Larry back, and from what I read in the forum, hauling around heavy load between sectors will sober him up. My question is how long does until he becomes sober? I don't really want him to just be traveling between sectors for days... Is there maybe a quicker way to do this?

Also, I noticed that stoned Larry's stats actually go down with training, so Larry's health and strength are decreasing when I make him haul around a heavy load to make him sober. Does this mean that when Larry gets sober he will have decreased strength and health? Both his health and strength went down several points, but he doesn't seem to be sobering up... Sad

nope, you get back a sober larry -> sober stats - normally having him run heavily loaded circles around drassen for two or three days does the trick

I read the code a long time ago, but I remember there are sectors in which Larry will never get sober again. The obvious ones are the ones where there is an alcohol dealer. I think the sector with the restaurant in Cambria is one of them too. If I remember the code well, you should see in your financial log that Larry took some money when he is in such a sector. To make him sober again, you don't need to make him run everywhere but place him in a "good" sector. A meditation retreat in Chitzena should be ok, as Drassen airport or SAM site should be too, or wilderness.

I think it's the hourly update function which decides if Larry should be sober again, by decreasing his "stoned" counter a bit if he is in a "good" sector and doesn't carry drugs (including medical kit) or alcohol. I don't think it takes days to make him sober again.
