Allergy's and allergic to certain items

[irock32 2]

I think it should be added to DayZ because it would increase the realism and you would have to watch out for what you can eat/drink.Antibiotics would be the cure to the allergy/allergic reactions.

If added to the game, it would have to be for everybody or it'll be unfair with tjhe affected players. I think that having some food/herbs/fruits that is spoiled\contamined that can cause an indigestion or malaise would be better than this kind of restriction.

What I meant is when you create your player you would spawn in with allergy's and be allergic to some items. Like say your allergic to chicken or something like that then you can't eat chicken Edited June 23, 2013 by irock32

no one would even bother to be allergic to anything then, it would need to be more balanced like if your allergic to something you can put a point towards running faster or something

Hmm, if EVERY character in the game had to face this kind of restrictions, I think it would be acceptable. I've googled for most common allergies and tadá :

Milk /Eggs / Peanuts /Tree nuts (such as almonds, cashews, walnuts) /Fish (such as bass, cod, flounder) /Shellfish (such as crab, lobster, shrimp) /Soy /Wheat

Most these seems to be pretty acceptable to be in Chernarus, hmm. I still think allergies would be a pain in the ass desnecessary for the gameplay, we'll have enough problems to handle, and allergies statistically saying aren't that common i THINK.

No.

I don't like this idea at all.

Realism is fun to an extent, then it's just an annoying interuption.

It would be an interesting feature, but it would be very awkward. Like scavenging for hours, almost dead from hunger, only to find peanuts - and being allergic to them.

But who would decide what allergy your character has? Would it be random? Would each character have different allergies? (i.e if you die, would your next character have a new allergy?) How would you find out about what allergy your character has?

It is an interesting concept, it would bring a new aspect to the game, but I also think it is a bit unnecessary. Won't we already have to deal with different infections and different ways of treating them? Different blood types?

It might be a bit too much?

If your character were to die yes u would spawn with new allergies and they would be randomly chosen and to find out what allergy you have it would tell you.

i think its a bit much..

The sickness/infection(s) for the SA should be enough already i think

[Clumzy (DayZ) 377]

No thanks, it's an interesting idea but I don't think it would improve the game at all.

[joe_mcentire 2074]

allergies to bullets. Period!

[liquidcactus 719]

it seems to picky, it doesnt weigh into a tough apocalypse world with rugged survivors etc.. how about morphine or even amphetamine dependencey maybe
