Weight - Muscularity - Height

[BlackFusion 7]

I don't know if there's been topics about this already but, here I go!

There are two versions.

 

Basics 1:

There are three bars (example at the bottom)

Description: 0 Is the basic body structure, everything starts at 0. 1 is the top. 1 is the top, if its weight your character will be more fat, etc. -1 is the lowest, if its your height your character will be short. Some things don't work with others.

 

Muscularity

Pros: 0 (No Pros). 1 (You can carry more weight without being slowed down Ex: you can carry an m60 and will still be able to sprint). -1 (Faster).

Cons: 0 (No Cons). 1 (You are more slow, and more of a target. Cannot be combined with Weight 1). -1 (Can't carry as much as 0 or 1 without being fatigued)

 

Weight

Pros: 0 (No Pros). 1 (Your hunger won't go down as fast. You have more blood). -1 (Super fast)

Cons: 0 (No Cons). 1 (You are more attracted to zombies. You are slower. Cannot be combined with Height 1 or Muscularity 1). -1 (Your hunger goes down faster)

 

Height

Pros: 0 (No Pros). 1 (You can run fast. See farther) -1 (You won't be easily spotted)

Cons:  0 (No Cons). 1 (You are more easily spotted. Cannot be combined with Weight 1) -1 (Can't run as fast 0 or 1).

 

Ex.

Muscularity () (0) (1)

Weight () (0) ()

Height (-1) (0) ()

Description: The Saints Row (Skinny - Fat - Muscle thing)

 

Feedback and comments would be greatly appreciated :rolleyes:

I like your ideas here but the thing that doesn't make sense to me is how you have the Weight 1 setting making your hunger meter go down faster.

 

The reason I say this is because if you are Weight 0 or -1, your metabolism would be much higer, thus needing to eat more often because your metabolism burns through calories at a much higher rate. I feel like if you are Weight 1, you should have a much prolonged hunger drain at the expense of moving slower etc.

Thanks!

 

But, didn't I say it wouldn't go down as fast?

 

Weight

Pros: 0 (No Pros). 1 (Your hunger won't go down as fast. You have more blood). -1 (Super fast)

Cons: 0 (No Cons). 1 (You are more attracted to zombies. You are slower. Cannot be combined with Height 1 or Muscularity 1). -1 (Your hunger goes down faster)

In general, the heavier you are, the more calories are burned to maintain your body everyday. Wether it's muscle or fat, but muscle is "higher maintenance" than fat.

My apologies, BlackFusion. Missed the "-1" before the hunger decreasing more quickly. lol

[BlackFusion 7]

Oh, so the more fat the more you need to eat?

Fat people are actually pretty strong.

Strong people are fast sprinters.

Light people have marathon runner build.

Just some things I wanted to point out.

Do you know how much you would have to weigh to actually slow you down? LOL

 

Weight

Pros: 0 (No Pros). 1 (Your hunger won't go down as fast. You have more blood). -1 (Super fast)

Cons: 0 (No Cons). 1 (You are more attracted to zombies. You are slower. Cannot be combined with Height 1 or Muscularity 1). -1 (Your hunger goes down faster)

 

See muscularity + why wouldn't i get hungry that fast? Depending on what i have, fat or muscles it will even be worse for me. Muscles need more nutricion that an average person to keep it that way ( you know proteins and training ? )

 

Height

Pros: 0 (No Pros). 1 (You can run fast. See farther) -1 (You won't be easily spotted)

Cons:  0 (No Cons). 1 (You are more easily spotted. Cannot be combined with Weight 1) -1 (Can't run as fast 0 or 1).

 

Your steprange might be a bit faster but who much would you give a person an advantage and disadvantage?

 Of course a 5.3 foot female will not stand out that much as Hulk Hogan but you can hide size, too.

 

Ex.

Muscularity () (0) (1)

Weight () (0) ()

Height (-1) (0) ()

 

One major problem ist that you shouldn't be able to choose what you are...it would end like everyone wanting to roll 18 on 3D6 for their character stats in table top RPGs. If you compare 10 people ther will be a tall fat gut with muscles, a tall fat guy without muscles, a tall slender woman, a small woman with a toned body etc. get my drift?

Too complicated/flawed to implement, also reminds of classes' system in rpg games. IMO all players should have the same chances of surviving at spawn (eg same stats/gear) and the only skill system I could accept in a game like DayZ would be crafting/repairing/building (only knowledge/experience related skills), all gained by repeating said actions. And of course as soon as you die, back at square one.
