Food Values

Post by Andreas » Tue Oct 21, 2003 10:05 pm

I think food values need to be looked at again. Andreas can be "a mite peckish" and eat three (sometimes FOUR) traveler's or iron rations before being stuffed. Okay, yeah... he's a big boy... but then watching the dainty little elves scarf down bushels of apples at a sitting gets a bit... odd.

Faerun Eating Contests - next on Jerry Springer!

*cough* Anyway... think about how the body processes food for real. A healthy, active person needs to eat a small meal approximately every 3 hours. Rations should keep a body fed for three game hours. An apple, not so long. A hearty stew and some bread, probably a good 4-5 hours.

The change in "metabolism" and food values on the game can also become detrimental to RP at times. Frankly, I preferred when I didn't have to think so much about food and could concentrate on RP without being spammed with "You are STARVING!" messages every tick.

Question is, why am I needing to eat 3-4 iron/traveler's rations from "a mite peckish" to be "full" or "stuffed?" Just looks a bit... silly.
