"Fatty & Skinny had a bath ..

[Captain Australia]

... Fatty did a fart & Skinny laughed!"

Fatty & Skinny rhymes were all the rage when I was a boy of 6 or so... about 200 years ago now.

Anyway, as I play this great game, one thing occurs to me that I think would be really interesting - weight gain and loss.

I know we have those little moodlets to communicate circumstances, and I know the game has a lot more other avenues to explore, just thought I'd share the idea because I think it would be quite cool.

You have to eat and drink regularly, this impacts your power, health, recovery.

Let it impact your speed, and the appearance of your avatar.

Haven't had a meal in 3 days .. you won't die ... but consistently don't eat enough, and you become skinnier and skinnier until skeletal, basically seeing the road to your eventual death.

"How will you die ?"
Starvation please !

And on the other hand .. well, my guy has survived a few months now, he's in a cabin in the woods, fortified it, farmed his little heart out, he even chopped a path to town through the forest, adding a little path and signposts (I know, too much time on my hands, right?) ... but he spends most of the time sitting on the porch with a shotgun on his lap and a piece of grass hanging from his teeth. And he's fat and shiny as a pig in slop.

So if you're eating regularly, get a nice robust paunch, maybe move a little slower, but pack significantly more power in your hits.

Sorry, it might be a stupid idea, but it appealed to me so much I thought I'd throw it out there.

All the best,

Simon from Australia

Love the idea, hope the devs see this and are willing to consider it.
