Over Eating

[m.w. vindicator 880]

Lets say your low on blood in Western Chernarus. What do you do??

You go find a cow offcourse!!

You shoot that bitch and eat the whole damn cow in one sitting.

If a person ate a entire cow in one sitting they would surely die.

I propose that there is a limit to how much a player can eat at once.

For example: The player can only eat 3 steaks every 15 minutes (unrealistically short for game play reasons).

Those are random numbers used for an example.

This would reduce cheese healing from food. It makes sense that food regenerates blood but if you get shot you can't simply bandage up and eat a cow to get to your normal self.

One piece of food should fill your belly and maybe you can eat two more pieces of food on a full stomach. Your player would be a little bit sluggish for a bit because of the full belly but after a short while you would be back to your normal self. If the player ate more than 2 pieces of food on a full belly there would be consequences. Perhaps you could throw up and loose all the food you just ate, making you hungry again.

Or maybe you could go into a food related coma.

theses are simply ideas. What are your opinions.

Over eating makes sense, but unless blood regenerates like any human being is able to do, I would like to be able to devour a cow.

Yes, I definitely agree you should be able to over eat and puke. This would make players not want to do it being that puking up food essentially wastes all that food, as you will be hungry again.

I also hope they revamp the whole blood system. Food shouldn't restore blood.

It should work so blood regenerates at X% at a given Y amount of time. When food is eaten, blood should regenerate at X + Z% at Y amount of time. (Sorry for those who hated math and variables but it is the most generic way to explain it)

As long as eating is the only way to restore your blood without another persons help, this is a bad idea. I can see this for the standalone when the health system got an overhaul.

Right. This is definitely for standalone. Blood should slowly regenerate over time depending on how well nourished the player is.
