Food and water
gordulan:
speaking of which, those empty people one finds dead in the encounters, like tough guard, average merchant, low-nomad, little boy, they all could contain a random food so a combat PvE char can get some food on the go.

- You don't need to feed your offline characters.
- You don't need to take food/water every few minutes.
- Food can be also used as HP boosting, or maybe temporarily slight Skillpoint increase (+2 points in every skill when taking redefined food)
- It will open new ways for players to play the game. Think of new professions, farms etc.
- People mustn't search the whole day for food, there could be "lower" tier stuff which could be find in the wastes, making you fed, but without bonusses. If you dont like to scavenge for it, just buy it from other players.
- Said new professions could be interesting for people not only interested in PvP.
Many people have paranoia about that because they maybe don't get it right. No one wants to create a sims game, where your character has to shit every minutes or making a meal every minutes. It's just an addition to the general atmosphere.

It's a good implementation and if it has to be done let's do it like that. Moreover, please do recognize the fact that I wasn't against the idea, I just pointed out it's going to hurt the newbies, which it certainly will for the reasons mentioned above. Basically, the way you implement food determines exactly how will they get hurt, but the fact that they will stands - simply because it will make them more of a target, if not anything else.

The images are all there (water bucket, various kinds of meals etc.), and honestly - it's very easy to code something that's basically already done. Because in the end, food messes with your HP and SPECIAL, right? There's already a lot of items that do just that, all that is needed is altering it a bit - which is remarkably easy in any scripting language. Given the fact that it's been suggested a lot, I see only two explanations:
- the devs don't care, it's a low level issue and will be implemented in a thousand years or so
- the devs think it's stupid and it won't get implemented at all.
Either way, I think we won't be seeing our characters doing the omnomnom thing anytime soon.

As if it would be so easy. :)

It's not top priority and other things are more important at the moment. I am fine with that.
I just wrote that summary one post ago for others who think they will have to treat their character like a tamagotchi from now on.
Michaelh139:
I do not want food implemented into this MMORPG if it means you will constantly have a timer of how long you have till you either die or eat again.
Other than that we already have some food so why implement more?
Izual:
I suggest you read Surf Solar's post, above. Plus, let's take radiation for example. Is there a countdown showing how long you have till you die because of the radiation ? No.

That's true, mostly because there are tons of things that are top-priority right now (and for the next months/years, I guess).

Yes, I guess you were even for it... :p
