So Virginia and Kelvin are cannibals

[Hellsmoke]

I noticed that they wont touch any meat or food you leave around but if you leave arms and legs on the drying rack, they will eat them. 100% I watched them, I only hung it there to see if they would. Not sure if this is a bug or intended.

I think it's kinda silly. Makes no sense for Kelvin to be a cannibal and Virginia lives off rabbits and berries. They should help themselves to the meat hanging there instead. That would balance out Kelvin with all his fishing. You should not only be able to give them food but they should help themselves as well. You should have to provide for your companions, as is now they pretty much provide for you.

Maybe that's why Virginia leaves during the winter, because she can't find any food.

Have you actually watched the opening sequence when you start the game? Kelvin is a military man. His chopper gets shot down and crashes. Him and you (the player) are not cannibals. Kelvin does eat and drink. I have seen him many times drink water when he is around water. He eats berries. Maybe Kelvin is a vegetarian. I have also seen Virginia eat berries. Also, Virginia does not leave in the winter. I my first gamesave, she hung around my base just as much during the winter as during the summer.

Maybe next time you decide to make a dumb comment, actually play the game instead of making stuff up.

she also eats the animals corpses like the birds :P

I've watched Kelvin eat raw squirrel from a trap on a lets play. He's no cannibal. Definitely a little not right in the head, but the crash seems to have damaged his brainparts, so...

You want me to record it for you or you want to try it out for yourself?

I've watched them plenty of times so I hung some arms and legs on the rack to test it. There are no berries for them in your planters in the winter, they die off. If you live on the beach they have no access to food.

I guarantee I've played more hours than you and I have specifically tested this and confirmed it. Feel free to do so yourself. I challenge anyone to remove the berries and hang arms and legs on the rack and see for themselves.

Edit: They do eat there two or three times before both the arm and the leg vanishes. Fact.

Yes, Kelvin does eat arms and legs from drying racks. I have never seen Virginia eat anything at all, though.

Virginia does eat the arms and legs, i saw her doing it. After she ate she did make wierd noises, as if she liked eating it. It was very unplessend to hear, i killed her for that reason.

Most likely a bug. They also eat bodyparts from the campfire. Food is food i guess.

i've seen them take both fish and human limbs from my fire, also Virginia eats corpses. it's fine, not a big deal. a girls gotta eat

I've never seen Kelvin or Virginia take any notice of drying racks. I can't even get Kelvin to catch fish and hang them on a drying rack, so.. I suppose it doesn't actually matter to me what their dietary habits are, as long as they're not trying to eat me, they can eat whatever makes them happy. Stay out of my diet and I'll stay out of yours.

Yeah no, I had two racks full of food hanging there all winter. There's no need to eat human flesh. Especially not Kelvin, he just got here with me and he prefers human flesh over fish and meat?

Makes absolutely no sense. Letting them eat fish and meat from the rack would make you pay attention to what's on there, making sure there's enough for everyone. That, leans more towards survival and balances out Kelvin with his op fishing skills.

It would also give the player another chance to interact with the companions. Rather than receiving gifts all the time, you actually gotta make sure they have enough to eat.

Yeah I agree, also we need to see theyre stats, sometimes theyre bloody, yesterday virginia was downed, I was making my spiked entrance, maybe she took dmg before it registered for her as friendly fire. She didnt take dmg after that. - But theyre working on the Ai of our companions they said in a Q and A.

Kelvin eats dead bodies as if this were the most normal thing ever. This has to change, it´s too insane.
