reading in darkness

[MrTrololo]

character shouldn't be able to read anything if light level is too low,currently reading even in completely dark areas is possible and that's ridicolous

Is the Flashlight/Light Source Character Has On or is the tile the character is on getting any light? Sounds like something the game should be able to check fairly easily before starting the read process and thus another feature.

As of right now brightness, exhaustion, panic, stress, hunger, awareness, dehydration etc. do not have any effect on reading speed. You are as good at reading while freshly rested in a warmly lit room after a nice meal and cup of coffee as you are after two weeks of no food or water in a pitch black freezing cold garage.

 

I'm sure there are plans to change this in the future but right now ( IWBUMS 41.20 ) reading speed is totally constant and only affected by the traits Slow/Fast Reader.
