Orally, I would hope. That's the usual method of using Romulan Ale.

Depends when you ask http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Romulan_ale Given events that leading up to the game I doubt it still is.

As for what it'd be used for well that's easy it'd be used to Par-tay!

My plan : use the ale "medicinally" and the bottle for melee. :)



Ok - seriously I doubt it will give you a buff, though a mild buff would be kind of funny. Most likely it'll just have a drunk affect like you see in many RPG's.

What makes you think it will be legal now in the Federation? It was illegal since the beginning of TOS Star Trek it was illegal in TNG, ST Voyager etc. Romulan Ale will be very likely illegal in the Federation but that doesn’t mean you can’t get it. Most Feds would always obtain it through illegal means.

Did you read the page I linked too?


Romulan ale briefly became legal in the Federation during the Dominion War when the embargo was lifted, due to the alliance between the Federation and the Romulans. However, by 2379, Romulan ale may have been prohibited again, or Geordi may have been unaware that the embargo had been lifted.


Given that the Federation really isn't at war with the Romulans at the beginning of the game it's possible that the embargo was either lifted once again or Geordi was wrong and it's not illegal any more. 30 years and a massive government restructuring can do a lot to change diplomatic relations.

By 2379, Romulan ale was once again illegal within the Federation. (Star Trek Nemesis) so I go by the ST canon as I said there is no hardcore evidence or logic that it will be legal other then what you’re guessing.

Wow,The World has gone crazy or I am in some kind of Bizzaro World or something. People,Adults mind you,are actually arguing about wether Romulan Ale(which isn't even a real drink)is legal or not. This web site has gone off the deep end.Now if you were arguing about something that is real,like Tribbles(I've seen them,they do exist)then,I would say the World is not all crazy.:D

The reason it was illegal is political if political tensions between the federation and the Romulan empire has eased why would Romulan ale still be illegal? It's 30 years down the line you have no reason to assume it's still illegal other then you are guessing there is no cannon that covers the legality of Romulan ale 30 years latter. Hell even the memory Alpha artical on it doesn't make it clear that it's still illegal stating that "Romulan ale may have been prohibited again, or Geordi may have been unaware that the embargo had been lifted" That doesn't seem like it's a definite thing. So even by the time of Nemesis it could still be legal.

Yes well welcome to the Star Trek fandom.

Well have you watch ST Nemesis? I only have problem with sources like the wiki etc. People assume too much and don’t go by ST Lore (canon). In ST Nemesis Worf is saying Romulan Ale should be illegal and Geordi tells Worf that it is illegal hence it is illegal. But to say that a people who made Nemesis didn’t know if Romula Ale was legal or wasn’t is pure speculation and BS. You accept it or you don’t, you go by ST canon or you don’t. As far as what you think is irrelevant unless you can back this up with ST canon.

As far as what Cryptic is going to do it is up to them since it is non-canon I have no problem with that.
