My Character is Obese and has Diabeetus...

Anyone find it humorous how much you have to eat in this game?

 

You're eating like 20,000 calories and drinking like 20 gallons of water a day! LOL

 

I'm not complaining, I just giggle when my character stands there eating like 3 cans of beans, sardines, uncooked rice, cereal with no milk, and chugging down a few sodas. And surely he'll be getting cramps from drinking all that water:

 

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

You drank water from the pond

I'm surprised my character doesn't just automatically start eating the bandages and blood bags in his inventory, and the shirt off his own back! I pray they don't introduce cannibalism; I know my character has no will-power, he sees meaty goodness and just can't say no....

 

I'm shocked that with all he's eaten, he has yet to have a bowel movement; I think I need to see a doctor... Perhaps they could just introduce Prunes/Prune Juice you can find and eat/drink.     :D

 

No, but seriously, I would love it if you didn't have to eat and drink every 10 minutes just to stay healthy, or healing if you are injured. It is quite a lot of maintenance and breaks immersion somewhat. I'm having PTSD flash-backs from my childhood Tomagochis....

If you eat and drink properply to full, you will not have to worry about drinking, eating or being healthy for about 2 hours.

We actually need fat people in this game. No reason why fat people wouldn't survive if they had the correct survival knowledge. Why does everyone look athletic. Hope new models come or will be disappoint.

True, I was just poking fun. Watch how many people miss the joke and tell me I'm a noob and to go back to COD...

 

You're right though, I was watching a vid online by that Merino guy who does guides for the game, I guess you only need like ~500 energy 'points' to not be hungry, and ~3500-5000 to heal, but you can store up to I think 20,000 energy points in your character.

 

So people, don't hoard your food, eat it if you got it!

At least two hours. If you don't move much, then you could probably go 8 hours from healthy to hungry/thirsty. Honestly, if you are continuously active as most people are in the game, the values aren't too far off.

Either way, the whole constantly looking for food and water thing is a crucial part of the game. There's no way it will be put on easy mode. That would take away a major environmental threat.

You guys should watch THIS VIDEO. You can actually survive 22hours sprinting through DayZ when you are on full energy, unless it changed.

Yes! That's the video I was talking about. Thank you.

 

Sub to Merino, peeps!

You're going to burn a lot of calories.

 

And one "You drank water from the pond" seems to be equivalent to 1 sip.

[Hikurac 115]

Considering how much you run in DayZ, you'd probably need those 20,000 calories.

One sip is ~50ml and the character drinks 50-100 times before full. So 2.5 to 5l, seems alright.

[Rōnin Rick 98]

Gah! Everyone takes this thread so literally!

[crazykage 1063]

Wait, so our characters can now gain weight, and eventually develop diabetes?

Damn....this is a little too realistic for me.

next thing you know our characters will develop horder's syndrome if we collect too much stuff...

Cus fat people go first!

Because suddenly having a more limited supply of food and a new lifestyle involving running 30km a day is definitely beneficial to staying fat.

[Jumbaliah 113]

You people realise eating and drinking that much isn't actually that unrealistic? What's unrealistic is running sprinting from one corner of the map to the next and ONLY needing 2 gallons of water and 6 cans of beans and some cereal.

Fat people cant run from zombies.
