JayM Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hi. Has anybody else noticed that sometimes when you're eating and decide to only eat a half or quarter it sometimes eats everything? Build 38.30. Sometimes it works fine then sometimes it doesn't. Initially i thought i was making the mistake myself but i'm certain there seems to be an issue now. I'm awaiting others to confirm before i post in the bug section of forum. P.S. My character is underweight could this be happening because of that and independently of my choosing amounts?

Aztib Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 When I first started playing, I noticed something similar to this. I would eat half of, say, a cabbage and be left with the other half. The next time I would choose to eat half of the remaining cabbage, thinking I was eating half of the half, or a quarter of the cabbage, I would finish the whole thing. This confused me for a good while until I realized that the 1/2 and 1/4 selections refer to a fraction of the absolute whole item, as opposed to what is actually present after you eat the first half or whatever. It's late here and I'm not sure I'm explaining this well. But could this be what you are seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shocked i didn't notice this before, i've been playing for years! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Darkside Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 After a certain point I think it just finishes it for you as well. Can't be eating 1/4 of a 1/4 potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
