Why do I get retarded?!?!?!

In the hub on Jan 2, I suddenly lose 4 perception, 4 health and 4 charisma, which reduces me to a gibbering freak who can no longer communicate with the NPCs. I'm not irradiated, poisoned, or anything... why does this happen? How do I fix/avoid it?
 
RE: Why do I get retarded?!?!?!

I cannot really say I know, but I can suggest that it may be the side effects of a drug which you have taken, Psyco, which lowers INT is the clostest thing I can think of but it would also turn you into a retard with too much use but loosing perception and health and charisma sould like a bug really. If you sit it out with the loss of stats for an hour or so and just see if they come back, and if not relode your game and try to avoid what you did just before the loss.

Sorry about not been to definate but it doesnt sound like a game feature.

hmmm... I haven't taken any psycho (or anything else) and the game actually provides for my retard dialogue (characters get annoyed when I talk with them- all I say is "errr" or "gronk?") but there still seems to be no real reason for the sudden changeover. Odd.

I agree with Mote that it sounds like chem withdrawal from your description... PE, IN and CH are exactly the stats that would drop after you'd taken a dose of Mentats. If so, resting for 48 hours or so should return your stats to normal. If not, I have no idea.

Oh cripes! I forgot I took mentads earlier in the game! Thanks guys, I'm sure that's what it is.
