Stanty Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It sounds good on paper but I can definitely see players having a lot of food in their inventory at all times to use it when needed. I don't think it's needed. Link to comment
Momo's Revenge Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It isn't as bad as people make it sound. On lsrp theirs was bad because it basically killed you in hours and you couldn't just carry food with you. You had to scriptly eat at a restaurant then and there. There is a big middle ground and this would be a reasonable money sink. Link to comment
DasFroggy Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Given the niche it was in and the rare advertisements for it, very few people likely knew or know of a half-life mod known as The Specialists, much less the roleplay community that grew there and the many lessons that were learned for future communities in the roleplay niche in general, one of such lessons being very simple, Never try scripted hunger again. The goal was to introduce a scripted need to satisfy hunger, creating social encounters at restaurants, bars, and food sales establishments in general. The result was the near collapse of player operated food establishments as any time a player manned the registers, people avoided them. Not because it was unpleasant, but because the roleplay between the customer and the cashier often ate up (-snicker-) time that the customer needed to be spending getting food. Why? Because up until that moment, the hunger mechanic was not only neglected, it was outright suppressed in every form. Literally every method to ignore and suppress it was made, usually by stockpiling roast beef items (one of the most filling food items in TSRP) and then waiting until five or so minutes from starvation to replenish the supply once they were out. It KILLED much of the dining and food service roleplay by making it mandatory. People will not eat if they are forced to. They will simply wait until there is an optimal time to buy out a massive inventory of food, and then squirrel it away and feed off of it until the next time to restock. If anything it made roleplaying food more difficult because roleplay meant having to explain buying five hundred dishes of roast beef in a single run, and waiting for someone who may have had a typing speed of three words per hour to finally bag the food. Player interactions became a liability and small talk could literally kill you. It also frequently put roleplay on pause, as scripts never could and never will take into account that you are roleplaying, and that reaching 100% hunger (and dying of starvation) during a surgery was not an optimal outcome. Players would just say "/b Holup, I need to eat some roast beef" and then do it, and that was the only mention of the system you'd get. So, learn from TSRP, Never try scripted hunger again.

Engelbert Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'd say, people who want to roleplay eating or drinking, will just continue doing that as usual. Nearly everyone roleplays eating sometimes, even the most hardened badass gangstas. Link to comment
