Crazy Water Bag Idea.

In order to travel on foot, you will require water. Every two squares distance (Going straight "left to right") will use up a water bag. So lets say you need to travel 10 squares, you will require 5 water bags or more.
Now, in order to keep this from being TOO harsh, as I know it is indeed very very harsh....
Travelling will not necessarily "REQUIRE" you to have water bags to keep moving. However there will be a consequence. The effect would be a temporary Damage to Maximum Healthpoints and maybe other effects such as lower Strength and PE.
In order to get rid of this, you must drink water, but drinking whatever for each square you didn't have water, will only relieve you of half the negative effect it cause. In order to FULLY be rid of the dehydration effects, you must visit a doctor, saying something along the lines of feeling really weak and sick. The Doctor will say you've had a Dehydration stroke or Heat Stroke and it'll cost x amount of caps to treat it depending on your level.
(The reasoning behind this is that heat strokes and dehydration strokes have long-lasting health risks if left untreated, so a doctor in such an advanced time-period of technology would probably be able to treat you.)
With 150% Doctor skill, and a Auto-Doc (Which could be bought as an accessory to bases, thats my idea anyway) you can treat yourself. ( and maybe by using the auto-doc, treat others.) But only at bases.
Update1:
Update2: I forgot to mention cars. Cars would work the same, they would just be faster so you would require less water.

Personally I think that it would just be a restriction on players and not in the good sense. However I think it would be a good idea if you kept the World Travel as it is normally but if you have water bags you move 50% faster?

I was thinking of this before I made topic as well, But I figured I'd go to the extreme first, and then work towards a good medium from there. It's a good idea if this version simply isn't accepted.

Hmm annoyingly it is a good idea however rather than impose penalties on everyone like it should it'll just make it harder for small groups/loners/noobs to travel from place to place. Gangs will no doubt have a 'l335t zweZome water guyz' alts and just bitch that this is just another reason why they need another alt.
I can also imagine being stuck in NCR to trade and running out of water with 20 300% steal eyeing me up and my tent is back at The Den :P

I have no doubt it'll have these effects... Concerning the gangs anyways, but for loners and such, I just don't see it. Maybe a NEWBIE NEWBIE would find this frusturating initially but I don't see it happening with at least semi-experienced players.

That's the point :D, Stock up well, plan your courses perfectly, don't make a slip or you'll find yourself in quite a ... complication. But NCR has a working well, so you could just refill your water bags there.
MAKE TRADE ROUTES, WATER CARAVANS, STEAL WATER FROM PLAYERS IN WATER-DEPRIVED AREAS.

Yes, for the love of god, if you look from technical standpoint, ofcourse it adds "annoyance" to the player, that's the very nature of a mechanic making the player care for its very characters sign of life... There are also good suggestions from user avv if you may use the search button our forum provides.
