Random idea about the Disease/sickness feature

[torystefans 13]

Just had a thought regarding the Diseases and sicknesses. I'm no Doctor by any means, so when i get sick i don't know what what wrong with me. What if there was a loot able item in game such as a home doctors book that has a list of illnesses and symptoms & cure. So say in game for example in text you see "your stomach hurts" "your are sweating profusely" ect.

You just cross reference your symptoms with the book, find the cure/remedy and you're good to go.

 

Like i said it's just an idea thought i would share it.

they speak of removing the text prompts such as 'you want to drink something' 'your stomach rumbles' etc.

There could be visual prompts (i.e. your player gets a sheen to them, or goes pale, shivers, or your player will periodically double over holding their stomach, etc)

 

However, having the ability to do none of this, I have no idea if this is even remotely possible

Could always mix the visual & Audio prompts aswell

That's actually a really good idea.

I think that was one of the original ideas they had, but have heard no word otherwise, where you have to figure out what disease you have and get the proper cure/treatment going.

Great idea. I would love to see this!
