Hi, I would love for the game to fully utilise the negative effects your character may experience. The game has a complex mechanics of temperature and weather conditions, dirt and blood on the character's clothes, catching a cold and even being depressed. However, when I watch people play long runs on youtube, they would haveten walk around almost naked even in winter and while sick, being severely depressed, happily swallowing one earth-worm after another with little to no consequence.
I suggest something along these lines:
- Being moderately cold slows down your motion, especially in fights, and also impairs your accuracy.
- Being moderately hot makes you exhausted significantly faster and also impairs your senses, narrowing down your vision and reducing your hearing area.
- Being nauseated from food poisoning or being sick makes you unable to run and significantly decreases your strength, especially in a melee fight.
- Wearing dirty and/or bloody clothes for several days in a row will make you nauseated and will attract zombies.
- Depression will prevent your from sprinting, severe depression from running, and they will both impair your senses and fighting strength.
Perhaps there is a mod that does something similar, in which case I would be very grateful if somebody could point me to it. Cheers.
