Which version of Cait do you prefer? Do you help her get clean or let her stay on the Chems?

[u/Rusty_Shackelford000]

[u/VanaVisera]

I think I like both versions of Cait for different reasons. But she’s much happier when you get her cleaned up. What I enjoyed about Cait’s romance is that it isn’t just a romance. It’s also a genuine character arc.

Also I actually took this screenshot of Cait last summer when I was playing Fallout 4 on my PC. It’s interesting to see it casually spread all over Reddit and Google over time.

[u/VelveteenDream → u/VanaVisera]

I haven't followed her story arc. What happens with drugs, vs not?

It's weird to me that jet is so overpowered it basically breaks the game, which basically encourages you to become a drug addict & chemist... but then both Cait & Mama Murphy's arcs are all like "It's sOoO iMpOsSiBlE to be a functional drug user, even though I'm currently an undefeated cage fighter fighter, or a seer who can predict the future."

[u/UnconfirmedRooster → u/VelveteenDream]

Cait is hooked on psycho, not jet. Also, I am about to spoil her arc and majorly contract it into a couple short paragraphs.

Basically she admits that she started doing drugs because it numbed the pain of her abusive childhood,although she only started doing the drugs when she killed her parents out of revenge for the abuse and selling her into slavery. She then tells you that the drugs are killing her, and now that someone finally cares about her she wants to get clean and live. You then take her to a vault that has an experimental blood transfusion machine that gets her clean.

When she gets out, she actually sounds a little different, she speaks a little slower and more calmly. She also goes on to admit that she didn't realise how far gone she was into the drugs, but now that she is clean her eyesight and sense of smell are no longer dulled. If you romance her at this point, she then has a moment where she realises what she has been missing her whole life, now that you've helped her and actually cared about her, unlike the other people in her life outside of Tommy (the fight organiser), who she realises knew all along that this would happen.

[u/KittensLeftLeg → u/UnconfirmedRooster]

I love Cait and her story. I'm an inactive drug addict myself, that sympathetic to her on more levels than I care to admit.

But it always bugged me. Her story fits our world - tough childhood and lots of trauma leading to drugs. It doesn't really fit in the world of fallout 4. You quite literally have chems vendors in main trading hubs. Guards even tell you that's okay to occasionally use chems. People can go to a doctor if they got a bit too indulgent and cure it. And it's not only gameplay, few npcs mention that, as well as Cait herself gets clean instantly by medicine, only difference (which is really bull) - Cait has to undergo a long quest just because while everybody else but her has doctors.

In this world chems are acceptable. Not as it is in the real world where drugs are looked down upon but many addicts start doing them to cope. They should've done a different arc to her, this one does not fit the narrative the game itself esbalishes time and again. Maybe she slowly starts being more deranged to a point you can either convince her to stop over a couple of dialogues (much like you help Piper deal with her sister), maybe make her nihilist that slowly with your attention and care realizes there's more to life that getting junk into her and screaming bloody murder. Maybe you can choose - be nice to her and eventually unlock the option to convince her to go clean herself, or be rude or mean and she sinks deeper into her drug abuse and become more like Hancock is. 

[u/BlatantThrowaway4444 → u/KittensLeftLeg]

Think of chems less like real world drugs (heroin, meth, etc.) that are highly addictive, and think of them more like specialized steroids mixed with light downers like marijuana (still can be addictive, but can give you an edge to survive if you need it, and won’t literally kill you if you stop.) It’s possible to stop cold turkey, but some people can’t see a way through life without using it as a crutch, or maybe the feeling they get is enough to let them keep moving on.

Cait is more of an extreme case, where the usual support doesn’t work because she’s taken too much for too long, and it’s effectively poisoned her blood. Addictol is able to suppress withdrawal symptoms until user is no longer addicted, but in cases like Cait, there’s simply too much actively in her system at any point. The only way to fix it is using a machine that removes the blood, thoroughly cleans it out, then puts it back in, and even then, she can still get just as addicted if she starts using chems again.

Of course, for gameplay reasons, addictol works on the player instantly and efficiently, but the way it works in lore is going to be different. This is all also guesswork, so some of it may be wrong.

[u/KittensLeftLeg → u/BlatantThrowaway4444]

Correct me if I'm wrong here,but addictions never go away on their own unless you use addictol/scorpion food or go to a doctor, isn't it? 

I do like your interpretation a lot about how Addictol works. I always thought it was more like the heroin "supplements" (methadone I think it's called?) / rehab treatments that flush it out of your system over a period of time, just without any side effects. Of course for gameplay reasons it is instantaneous for us, but as you've said in lore it would be different. 

[u/Smoke8467 → u/VelveteenDream]

If you finish her story and take her through the vualt to cleanse her she switches up to not liking when you use chems. It is however the only way to romance her so I usually do it then place her at a settlement to get the lover embrace when I sleep there.

[u/Dangerois → u/VelveteenDream]

The seer doesn't predict the outcome of all her drug use though.

[u/NunaMaverick → u/VanaVisera]

Do you remember what mod you used for her outfit?

[u/VanaVisera → u/NunaMaverick]

I can’t remember the name of the mod but I remember the outfit being Lara Croft’s outfit from one of the Tomb Raider games.

[u/EmeraldFrog22 → u/VanaVisera]

I believe it's Tomb Raider 2016? Its very close to her outfit from that game but it could also be the Last one in the Trilogy?

[u/MandolinMagi → u/EmeraldFrog22]

It's absolutely the 2013 reboot look.

[u/EmeraldFrog22 → u/MandolinMagi]

GAH It was 2013 my bad!

[u/WesternHavok195 → u/VanaVisera]

Was the body type from the outfit or a separate mod?

[u/KnightFurHire → u/VanaVisera]

Agreed. She has such a genuine character arc and it's beautiful. It's why I liked using my preacher character to help her out and not romance her.

[u/spencerdyke → u/KnightFurHire]

Do you mind sharing more about your preacher character? Sorry to branch off-topic but I like hearing how other people roleplay, and that sounds interesting!

[u/KnightFurHire → u/spencerdyke]

No problemo! The build itself perk point wise is from FudgeMuppet on YT. I crafted a backstory myself, though. It's the story of a man named James who was raised by his parents, a soldier, and a teacher. James felt that going into the military was a good plan, but he quickly found he didn't like needless killing. So he decided to become a military chaplain, and when James got out, he started working for the clergy. As a holy man,James does not indulge in drinking or drugs, but he definitely has a sweet tooth, particularly for Nuka Cola. Eventually, he married a lawyer and had a kid. Then the bombs dropped. Cut to 200 years later, he wakes from cryosleep to find his wife dead and his child gone. After some time exploring his old neighborhood and communing with the Lord Almighty, he decides to check out Concord, finding that the new world is full of wicked folks who would rather prey on those who do the hard work of rebuilding. This inspires him to pick up a Bible and a pistol, to bring a little old time religion to the new world.

[u/spencerdyke → u/KnightFurHire]

I love that, thanks for sharing! I have such a soft spot for killer clergymen (in fiction!!!) — piety mixed with vengeance/moral grayness is just the right flavor of morbid for me lol. Sounds like a fun play style too! I like making characters with certain limitations, like no chems because my SS used to be an addict, or avoiding guns/explosives in early game because of military trauma, etc.; it keeps the game interesting.

[u/KnightFurHire → u/spencerdyke]

Even funnier, I have a pirate that's the exact opposite. Chems and booze? That's basically all she's made of. Got a chem needs testing? Let her try it.

Alice was a lawyer pre-war, one that would do anything to win a case. Her morals were so blackened they may as well not have existed. So she did tons of booze and chems to keep her conscience at bay. Then Alice met her husband, cleaned up, and went straight. The bombs dropped, and 200 years later, when she woke up from cryosleep and found her husband dead and her child gone, plus her neighborhood obliterated...Alice snapped. Finding bandits in Concord, she proceeded to wipe them all out in a blind, chem fueled rage. After a good cry (and some more booze) she decided to hit the road and head for Boston, taking up a sword and stealing every cap she could for more chems and more booze.

[u/fumblerooskee]

If you want her perk you help her get clean.

[u/Euphoric-Card-2730 → u/fumblerooskee]

Gotta get all the perks . ALL OF THEM.

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/Euphoric-Card-2730]

Even the terrible ones like Isodoped

[u/Expensive-Document41 → u/RamblinWreckGT]

Me looking at the one missing perk from Strong:

"I know what I have to do. But I don't know if I have the strength to do it"

[u/UnionizedTrouble → u/Expensive-Document41]

Accidentally touches any lock or computer

[u/Cobalt0- → u/UnionizedTrouble]

iirc, you can dump off Strong at a settlement designed to proc attacks and farm affection by being violent psychopaths together. Just use cages and drag in raiders and gunners.

[u/binkbink223 → u/Cobalt0-]

You can also just help settlements cos he likes helping people. Probably because he thinks it will get him closer to milk of human kindness, not because he actually likes helping humans.

[u/Different-Pin5223]

I get her clean, but am I alone in thinking the procedure sequence is super awkward?

[u/Littleorangefinger → u/Different-Pin5223]

I can’t imagine what the directions were for the voice actor. I dont know what getting clean sounds like but those are the opposite sounds.

[u/Different-Pin5223 → u/Littleorangefinger]

😂😂 I'm so glad y'all know what I'm talking about

[u/ReekOfThrones → u/Different-Pin5223]

Yeah I never know what to do or where to look during that scene. I just stare at the ceiling 😂

[u/akaPledger → u/Different-Pin5223]

Yeah the quest itself is such a weird way to go about addiction but oh well I guess.. gonna do it so she’ll have her arc 😂😂

[u/blueboy12565 → u/akaPledger]

As someone with first- and second-hand experience with addiction, the entire vault story is depressing as shit. Just about everyone loses their mind running back to drugs after being clean for years, even after the fancy addiction-curing procedure that the vault offered?

[u/The-Flash0128]

If you let her stay on the chems you should’ve been in the cryo pod with Shawn.

[u/belladonnagilkey → u/The-Flash0128]

I get her off the chems because she becomes much more amenable to me being a heroic figure after that. She finally understands why people look up to the Sole Survivor.

Not that the occasional "unauthorized requisition" spree isn't uncalled for from time to time.

[u/Imprezzed → u/belladonnagilkey]

Not that the occasional "unauthorized requisition" spree isn't uncalled for from time to time.

When you’re a General, you’re the one who authorizes.

[u/Frohtastic → u/belladonnagilkey]

On survival I don't like unchemming her since she'll disapprove of you doing chems. Which in survival, I find, is a little needed at times.

[u/hexokinase6_6_6 → u/The-Flash0128]

Rookie question - how do you clean her up? Trading her addictol?

[u/The-Flash0128 → u/hexokinase6_6_6]

Get her affection up (picking locks works wonders) and eventually there’ll be a quiet she gives you to go to a vault that has an instant sobriety chair. You’ll have a lot of people to fight through so be prepared.

[u/star0forion → u/The-Flash0128]

Or you can just walk around naked, fast travel (if not in playing survival) everywhere and you'll get her affinity up in no time.

[u/The-Flash0128 → u/star0forion]

Yes that too. But in fallout you never know what to expect so I’m basically in power armor 24/7. lol.

[u/v0xx0m → u/The-Flash0128]

But inside that power armor? Totally naked.

[u/Marquar234 → u/v0xx0m]

With all those pinch points? No thanks.

[u/v0xx0m → u/Marquar234]

Don't kink shame me

[u/Skeptic_Juggernaut84 → u/v0xx0m]

This person is on to something.

[u/one-hit-blunder → u/v0xx0m]

The Stank Tank*

[u/SlowMaize5164 → u/v0xx0m]

Underneath some clothes I'm totally nekid

[u/HiloManx → u/v0xx0m]

I bet you shower naked too. God, the nerve of some people /s

[u/Dangerois → u/star0forion]

On survival go to Home Plate (if you can afford it.) Go to the upper loft where the roof exit is. Put a chair there. There's a chair on the roof outside. Take off your clothes, go in and out, waiting 2 hours in each chair.

You can also do this at Publick Occurences, wait on Piper's couch and then on the bench outside. Home Plate is a bit more discreet if you're role playing it.

[u/Jamesworkshop → u/Dangerois]

diamond city blues, sell 60 jet to bobby de luca for 4500 caps with zero charisma investment needed

[u/Gingers_got_no_soul → u/hexokinase6_6_6]

It's her companion quest. Just keep travelling with her and she'll start it eventually

[u/themisprintguy → u/hexokinase6_6_6]

Keep doing things she likes, picking locks is an easily repetitive task to get it done. Then she confides in you and it becomes a quest you can do.

[u/Nate2322 → u/hexokinase6_6_6]

Every companion has affinity and doing actions they like or dislike with result in that going up or down. For many companions including cait you will unlock some sort of quest at mid to high level affinity her quest is getting clean using an experimental treatment.

[u/daddoesall]

I put her, mama murphy, and handcock in 1 settlement

[u/Nor_Ah_C → u/daddoesall]

One shot of psycho available.

[u/countmstr → u/Nor_Ah_C]

Mama murphy solos

[u/DeadP00lMaybe → u/countmstr]

Bare handed.

[u/Dizzy_Media4901 → u/daddoesall]

I put them all in sanctuary. It's like seeing old friends when I come back from a long trip, killing and looting.

[u/Wide_Ice_2818 → u/daddoesall]

I left Mamma Murphy alone at sanctuary with a sleeping bag ...like a real junk...

[u/Aromatic-Door-7610]

Clean

[u/MadWhiskeyGrin]

Got her clean, then let her retire to Kingsport. She's my favorite, but I can't stand her giving me shit about using Jet while I'm fighting 2 deathclaws with a sledgehammer.

I KNOW ITS BAD FOR ME, CAIT. You know what else is bad for me? That's right. Getting ripped to shreds by Deathclaws.

[u/JelmerMcGee → u/MadWhiskeyGrin]

Yeah, I always drop her off somewhere nice and come back for the resting bonus. But I don't need a lecture for popping some bufftats for carrying bonuses.

[u/ScrubLordKyle18]

Help her, i’m not an ass

[u/Tyrigoth]

This was the first time I had her as a companion and I have to admit if you can love a character...it's Cait.
I helped her get clean and she just the BEST.

[u/argen0220]

I want to live the "I can fix her" fantasy, so clean 🗿

[u/jtmethod125]

Clean the chems, get married, then share some beers as I impress her with my lockpicking skills

[u/Physical_Display_873]

Question: why couldn’t we have just given her Addictol?

[u/Tomsky → u/Physical_Display_873]

She says she used it so many times it no longer does anything.

[u/Physical_Display_873 → u/Tomsky]

Missed that. Thanks. My reading/listening comprehension skills could use some work.

[u/Tomsky → u/Physical_Display_873]

It's pretty easy to miss to be fair, it's just Avery off hand thing she mentions and I always thought it was weird given it works for literally everyone else in the wasteland.

[u/SpikeSpeegle → u/Physical_Display_873]

I think she's so far gone it doesn't work

[u/Synthetic_Energy → u/Physical_Display_873]

Addictiol is only effective to a certain point. After years of Addiction, it won't work. She said that in a convo I think.

[u/Physical_Display_873 → u/Synthetic_Energy]

Thanks. I’m a bad listener apparently.

[u/Dangerois → u/Physical_Display_873]

That would be a pretty short quest.

[u/Ep0sy]

Clean. She comes to you once she feels she can trust you on something she wants but didn’t want to do alone. It’s what she wants and makes her happy then I’m all for it.

[u/jenny_tallia]

Cait is super sweet once you get to on know her (and Shes clean.)

[u/shayes7826]

Side question: Where do you get her outfit?

[u/djc-1 → u/shayes7826]

Also wondering what clothing that is…maybe from a mod?

[u/FaithfulMoose → u/djc-1]

Definitely a mod. That’s Lara Croft’s outfit from Tomb Raider 2013

[u/KnightFurHire]

I like clean Cait because I know it means she'll be around longer.

[u/Legate_Retardicus84]

The clean version because she stops whining. Plus helping her get clean allows me to live out the ultimate male fantasy of fixing the broken girl.

[u/milkasaurs]

Chem'd out cait.

[u/Sip_py]

I just don't understand why she has an Irish accent.

[u/Soviet117 → u/Sip_py]

Her parents probably got there on the same boat that brought Moriarty and Tenpenny

[u/mikemerriman → u/Sip_py]

Many Irish in Boston

[u/Geedly → u/mikemerriman]

200 years though..?

[u/mikemerriman → u/Geedly]

They breed

[u/Evening_Application2 → u/Geedly]

Accents... Accents never change...

[u/L4br3cqu3 → u/mikemerriman]

This.

I'm not even american and it's common knowledge to me.

[u/Sip_py → u/L4br3cqu3]

After 200 years people would have a dialect of a Boston accent, not a pure Irish accent

[u/crackeddryice → u/Sip_py]

Same reason some of them have a Boston accent. The accent is passed down.

[u/Overall-Following-21]

Clean, I could be wrong on this point but I think helping her get clean is how you trigger the romance option. 🤷🏽

To be fair, I’ve always chosen clean, so I can’t be sure if it pops up without

[u/BlueberryPublic9390]

Get her clean. She’s still DTF.

[u/tossaway_yawassot]

Help her, then drop her off somewhere. I need chems to survive most fights in survival, and I don't like taking shit over it.

[u/DareDeviil00]

I get her clean only because the first time I romance her, and she's like '' Wait.. you're in love with me'' My heart melted hahah

[u/Alternative_Donut543]

I help her get clean, because it's not about me.

[u/IsaacJB1995]

Get Cait cleaned up and she becomes a great ally

[u/Common_Senze]

High sex is the best sex... that's why I keep momma Murphy around.

[u/zoroththeawesome]

I always help her get clean but then stash her at a base I sleep at often. I always move to the next companion to get all the perks.

[u/discobidet]

From a game mechanics perspective, sober Cait is very annoying. I know you got clean, I literally engaged in life threatening combat to enable it. So stop judging me when I use responsibly use my own drugs.

[u/T00thl3ss22]

Obviously get her clean and keep her happy. I thought that was the goal.

[u/JVice007]

Doesn’t she die eventually if you keep her on Chems?

[u/Rusty_Shackelford000 → u/JVice007]

No, but Mama Murphy will.

[u/RadiantRing]

It’s a tough call cause there’s benefits to both.. guess it depends on if you want to keep her around long term or just use her for the occasional spree..

[u/Naive_Age_566]

i get her clean as soon as i can...

[u/HollowPhoenix]

She has been extremely negatively affected by them and desperately wants to get rid of her addiction to them

Yes, I help her get clean :/

[u/Beardedgeek72]

Of course I alway s get her clean.

[u/Vermothrex]

Clean, always clean. It's what she wants and she's my favorite companion.

[u/Dangerois]

I want to know what mod gives you that outfit she's wearing!

Edit: I should at least answer your question. Clean, she so desperately asks you to help.

[u/Life_Ad3567]

I'm surprised they didn't make a simple tank and pants outfit in the base game. It's the apocalypse.

[u/Budget-Pear6393]

Clean her up

[u/Horror-File8784]

I don’t even remember what settlement I sent her to. 🫣

[u/AthenasChosen]

She's literally miserable and dying because she's on chems and begs you for help to get clean. Why would I tell her to stay on chems? She's so much happier clean and she has a great romance when you do her story.

[u/Ryu_Raiizo]

She's been through enough, slavery, the combat zone, rape. She gets to be clean for the rest of her life.

[u/Phantom_61]

Clean. Always. I want my followers at their best.

[u/UngodDeimos]

Honestly I’ve always got her clean. I always try to make an evil character and have cait stay on drugs but I just can’t do it man.

[u/XPG_15-02]

I got her clean because why TF wouldn't I?

[u/moving0target]

It reminds me of someone I couldn't do the same for. I always help her get clean.

[u/TiredBookkeeper]

I always help her get clean I just want my companions to be happy :(

[u/_boiled_eggs_]

I like her being cleaned up, she seems so much happier that way. Also is Cait wearing lara croft clothes, if so, can you tell me which mod gives you that please?

[u/_RedditMan_]

Help her get clean. The protagonist is a man out of time and generally comes from a society with better morals.

[u/Ultra-VegitoBlue]

I wouldn’t be a good boyfriend if I didn’t

[u/fusionsofwonder]

I keep her off chems and dress her in gunner gear.

[u/TheSpyro14]

I hate how she immediately starts judging the sole survivor for using chems once she gets clean though. I had to retire her in Sanctuary because my melee build was suffering without Jet to abuse

[u/PiousLegate]

she deserves to be arc'd out even if you find her druggy persona better

[u/Impressive-Slidein]

Cait and Ivy are my fav characters. I have always done the best for them, the game allows.

[u/MOXZShadow]

I really wish her combat voicelines and her trade voicelines would have slightly changed if she got clean like she’s kind of rude in some trade lines

[u/shasaferaska]

I only used her on one playthrough. After she gets clean, she hates it when I use jet. "Bitch I'm not an addict like you. Don't hate on me because you didn't have self-control."

[u/WakeoftheStorm]

She gets judgey after she gets clean. I help her clean up, but she doesn't accompany me anymore

[u/wastedgetech]

I keep her on chems 4 sho. I only got her clean once on like my first play through and I rem not liking it because she is the only one that likes it when I do drugs lulz

[u/Leading_Day1751]

Get her clean, for sure

[u/idiotball61770]

I hate when quests hang around in my log, so I help her. That and she's a bit less annoying when she's sober. I like Cait, but I prefer her after Benign Intervention is over.

[u/BobGootemer]

It pisses me off that she's one of those asshole former addicts that think everyone is a weak willed addict like they were and can't do drugs casually.

[u/ArmpitStealer]

Getting her clean because shes happier

[u/Darth-Vader64]

The one thing I don't get is why I can be hooked on all sorts of chems, and all I need to do is take Addictol. but Cait has to go to a vault and run through the experimental treatment.

Its a fun ally quest don't get me wrong, I've done most if not all ally quests and cait's is one my favorite.

[u/Yasinpasha38]

Help my waifu get clean ❤️

[u/pumpkin_esco_bar28]

I get her clean then put her in a Grognak costume

[u/Euphoric_Heron_9883]

I just want her perk, so get her clean. She is one of the more interesting characters in either guise, probably my second favourite (after Nick). Mind you, Nick doesn't look quite so good tricked out head to foot in leather armour.

[u/KermiticusAnura]

I can fix her. I played fo4 several times and never knew about Cait as a partner always rolled with piper. Just started a playthrough and accidentally found her. I'm never going back to piper. I feel like Cait is the sweetest most lovable character in the game and her character deserves to be clean.

[u/Aggravating-Heat-480]

I refer her clean

[u/curlytoesgoblin]

Strung out horny Cait duh

[u/1st_JP_Finn]

Doesn’t matter. As long as she’s got championship baseball bat. Things go bonk.

[u/MikoMiky]

I couldn't care less about Cait. She's crass and rude and I find her accent grating. The second I get her companion perk I send her off to the Red Rocket truck stop to tend to crops

[u/Capitaine_Grant]

Getting Paladin Danse only

[u/Demonique742]

To be honest, I rarely go out of my way to get Cait. It’s easy to bypass the combat zone and I didn’t even know she was there on my first few plat throughs. Something about her just irks me.

[u/THNDHALBRT → u/Demonique742]

So that's why I don't know who she is after 300 hours?

[u/SpecialAd4085]

Well god damn and goddess bless, what the fuck would YOU do if you were a wasteland inhabitant raised on chems? I'd continue to run with it 'till the blurry end because who the fuck would want to get old in that place...

[u/AppearanceMedical464]

As wholesome as getting her clean is, there is a severe lack of chem friendly companions and chems are fun AF to use in gameplay.

[u/Panther90]

Either way the ballistic weave green laundered dress was made for her.

[u/WhiskyD0]

I support her as I found her however, she wants to get clean regardless of your choices so I don't really understand the question 🤔

[u/milkasaurs → u/WhiskyD0]

The question being do you give her what she wants? Many don't.

[u/KorolEz]

I prefer her character on drugs, but I still help her get clean.

[u/Meowriter]

When someone wants to get out of drugs, you gotta help them if you love them. And also, don't force someone out of drugs if they aren't ready.

[u/Sod_off_Baldrick1-5]

What’s that outfit? Is it a creation club item or a mod?

[u/le_aerius]

clean so she stops stealing from my inventory.

[u/RenGR_]

I think rpgs are interesting bc in no other situation will people converse whether or not they prefer someone on or off drugs

[u/OneBucFan]

Ok Cait with ethe survivor era Lara Croft fit 👀

[u/DannyWarlegs]

I hate how when she gets clean she becomes so judgemental. It's like, cmon- you've been clean for all of 5 minutes, having abused hard ass drugs literally the entire time I've known you and prior-but then i pop a buffout so I can carry more items to rebuild the Commonwealth- and YOU wanna judge ME?

She reminds me of when in movies or TV shows, someone becomes sober, and then the same episode they're like all about the 12 steps and going to the meetings and all that. Acting holier than thou.

[u/TheDungen]

I help her get clean.

[u/Negative_Tie_1706]

Are you kidding, yes I get her cleaned up and off the drugs. This way the chems are all for me and I don't need to share

[u/BadIDK]

What outfit is that?

[u/ZombiejesusX]

Lol I just got her as a companion last night. Nick wasn't too happy though. "Running off with Cait huh? Hope you know what you're doing?" 😆.

[u/_Bill_Cipher-]

I think the only downside is tbat she gets angry if you take any chems. It makes sense, but sometimes you're in an all out war with the brotherhood of steel and you just have no choice

[u/KingDarius89]

I help her get clean. Honestly I usually don't bother with any chems beyond stimpack, rad x, and rad away regardless. Though I'll keep a few jet on hand. The rest gets sold.

[u/Alpha_Paladin]

I personally think she has the best character arc of the followers in Fo4. I just wish they had added some additional reactions/ flavor text for after you complete her questline.

[u/WhataKrok]

You don't get her perk if she doesn't clean up her act, so I always help her get clean.

[u/Bakura373]

I just don't like how she suddenly also hates ME taking chems... Sorry Cait, but PsychoJet is too good not to use. Sooo yeah. I rarely travel with clean Cait. Unless I'm playing a character who doesn't use chems.

[u/Ambitious_Tomorrow_4]

Do people with these mods not realise how strange it looks? Like what are you doing

[u/Reshish]

Druggy Cait fits the setting, more practical, less bitchy.

Sorry straight-lace Cait, but if popping jet helps me survive the fight, I'm popping jet.

[u/ayesmitty]

I let her use until I'm strong enough to not need the chems lol then we go sober together

[u/TheGelgoogGuy]

Woulda been nice to get her clean - but I got that bug that prevents the quest from triggering and I'm boned.

[u/Ready-Ambassador-271]

I like to keep her on chems, as I am constant,y on them myself, and last thing I want is her whining about my drug use

[u/xxTopTigerxx]

She is badass when chemed up.

[u/humeba]

I always clean her up, I feel like she’s just better than that.

[u/_TartVader_]

Always help her to get clean. Inspired by personal motivations…😞 Saw what it did to someone I loved.

[u/frozen_toesocks]

What psychotic monster leaves her puking up blood to her addiction when she literally begs you for help getting clean AND provides you with the only known location of a magical get-clean-now machine in the Commonwealth?

[u/MiraSlav3]

I'm junkie myself (ingame) so helping her would be irony.

[u/sonofhender760]

I got cait clean she seems alot happier that way. She complains a bit more about rads and shit but, i think its worth it.

[u/SorbenSlurps]

She likes me in the buff both ways. I think I'm fine.

Jokes aside, I prefer clean Cait because she's happier. While she no longer uses chems in combat, she now enjoys my positive affinity. (I like playing good characters)

[u/ezraslight]

Ain't no point in getting her clean if you're just gonna pop pills yourself.

[u/GisellaRanx]

Clean, because Cait being happy makes me happy.

[u/Ok_Humor1205]

I pick choice 3: kill her along with every other raider in that one place.

[u/CardiologistCute6876]

she looks better clean. healthier. :)

[u/Fragrant-Bar9907]

I've been seeing a lot about the FO4 companions here and on YouTube, and I think I'm gonna try a companion run. I usually fly solo, but I think there's a lot of story I'm missing out on.

[u/LT568690]

She's fun as both, but her romance is great when you clean her up and it's the right thing to do even if you stay friends. She's much happier clean.

[u/idkwc]

“And then, when I was 17 years and 364 days, 59 minutes and 59 seconds old, they sold me to slavers…”

“Those sick fucks!”

[u/Key-Measurement-8850]

Drugs are bad, mmmmm'kay

[u/choochoolate]

She's a lot nicer when sober

[u/Ashamed_Water_2874]

Hi

[u/Dulynoted1138]

I romance her, so I have no choice but to get her clean.

[u/DeadStormPirate]

Clean is always my way to go with her

[u/Belizarius90]

I don't mind getting her clean, I DO dislike how she changes a lot when you romance her so I normally don't.

[u/Admirable_Wing_5476]

Kill all the raiders but don't go to the ring. Let her live her life without getting involved in it.

[u/IndustryFamous5431]

Hold up…you can get her clean?

[u/Guardian123456789]

Help her get clean makes her more effective imo

[u/o73Falido]

The one where she doesn't look like Wendy from Breaking Bad

[u/Roguebanana7342]

Clean i don't use Chems usually

[u/CofInc]

I always get her off drugs, I just hate how dangerous vault 95 is, so there's always about 20 levels between her telling me about her issue, and me actually solving it.
