if you gave someone a serotonin injection in real life, their mind wouldn't work "better". in fact, you would probably kill them.
they would immediately start hallucinating (in a bad way, think: LSD + schizophrenia), then their heart would stop beating.
also, it's spelled "endorphins" not "endorphines".

these bugs/ errors should be on the top 5 list. instead of giving people "serotonin" injections, i recommend the devs change it to "mental clarity improving space-age nano machines" or something. it may sound "more fantastical" to the average luddite, but at least it's not blantantly incorrect.

And having a Spice Downer wouldn't be over in 15 seconds...
Eating some food won't make you more accurate or resistant to damage.
It's a gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

yeah but the things you listed are things we excuse for gameplay reasons, (game would be unfun with day long downers, chefs would have no point) While errors like this Doc thing just make big Logical holes in the game that make it hard to suspend my disbelief, and are just stupid mistakes that have no logical pupose.

The devs have said requarding spice, and spice usage that they dont want it to replicate ACTUAL drug abuse. IE they wont be adding chemical dependency to the game (which i think would up their game rating from TEEN to MATURE). But I am sure they could fix the names to actually correspond with the real brain functions.
Although you can roleplay a spice addict like I did lol. Always took moun gold 24/7 hehe.

you can purchase 250 mg of serotonin from sigma/aldrich for fifteen dollars. i really hope that a kid out there doesn't decide to snort it or something, in order to help him study for the big test--
because it's really really really bad for you, and for some reason a kid might think that the SWG devs knew what they were talking about when they made serotonin injections equivalent to that EQ-spell "clarity".

yes but the Force can't be bought at your local drug store, inhaled and kill you either.
Nor does the Force exist in RL (or at all) with a completly different purpse then didsplayed in the game, whereas Serotonin does.
