My character cannot be unbroken

[Wolfie]

Why is this? Bug? No matter how much I talk to him or feed him he is still broken and it has been 7 days like this.

It might depend on what the other characters are doing, for example if they are out commiting crimes still (stealing/murdering) while morale is low, it will still have an affect on the depressed guy.

Some characters are strong mentally, some are weak.. this might be a weak character who cannot recover very easily.. It is also possible to have characters remain injured or sick for days to.. characters recovering from anything too quickly (wounds/sickness/depression) would be pretty unrealistic.

There are lots and lots of factors that can tip their mood either way or interfere with recovery. Maybe there's just one factor that is being overlooked which is preventing various recovery methods from working.

For example, maybe your character is well fed and being talked to, as well as getting drunk.. but if there are things missing from the house such as home comforts (chairs/books), indulgences (coffee/cigarettes) ..and if a member of the house steals private property on a scavenge, or if they hurt an innocent or if the house fails to help an innocent (neighbour event), these factors could be stalling the recovery a little.

Zlata can bring people back from the edge (she 'bolsters spirits'). Guitar music helps a lot (and perhaps music from the radio) ..only some characters can play the guitar though.

There might be other factors holding them back, but I'm not 100% sure if they are actual factors yet.. things like the temperature (if it's too cold) and maybe if home security is bad, they seem to react badly when a raid is successful - mostly due to the wrong person being on guard duty (as well as not having enough weapons and not having the place boarded up).

..Try as many positive things as possible (the game is a Karma simulator). You get a steam achievement if you do manage to bring them back from the edge.

Prevention is the best medicine; if you have a habit of robbing/killing innocent people, you may want to reconsider your tactics.
