Drink water without opening inventory

[Zitgard]

Is it possible?

[Kaerius]

Try dragging it to the hotbar?

In Fallout 1 there's a feature where if you have water in your inventory, you drink every time without having to access the inventory, click, drink... I think that would fit well for this game too.

Why does this matter so much?

usually you have to move stuff around in your inventory anyways so you need to open it, the first thirst debuff at 25 isnt that bad anyway you dont have to drink every time you get to 20 thirst

I rest often, so my character needs to drink constantly

[Zitgard]

And mages do less damage when thirsty

It would just be nice to have, or at least be able to put the flask on the action bar so it can be hotkeyed.

You can only put skills down there, not items.

My solution would be getting into a habit of checking hunger / thirst instead of automating that system

That's why they said the hot bar.

I'm dual wielding battle axes. Aka 2 axes, twice the cost for skill usage even if I just hit once. (Up side is I counter twice) between my Yew bow skills and the footman&battle axe energy usage is very high. Yes, I too will fight one or two enemies then go back 2 or 3 rooms for a rest.

I also wait to clear all the barrels and pots to keep my noise down. So that means I take an extra tour of the dungeon. Since stealth is broken... negative noise % is the best way to catch them unaware.

Only the most tanky can enter a dungeon and action shout until everyone shows up. By then you have zero energy and have been tanking for quiet a while. I would hate to see the repair costs for that.

My solution to that would be a hunger / thirst indicator instead of clunkily opening the character sheet all the time just to check if we are hungry.

And also be able to put items on the action bar so we can keybind them.

It's just an obtuse system and it's not like it can even be defended w/ "realism" or "immersion", nobody needs to open a character sheet to know if they would like a snack.

You'd prefer an ugly hunger bar on the top of the screen?

I mean, it's says that your hungry\thirsty on your status bar at the top, it's just that you need to drink so often, and unlike food, 99% you drink out of the waterskin that, it would nice if you could do it without opening your inventory, clicking on it, drinking, closing the inventory every time instead just clicking something like 'R' for the rest mode, just too many things to do for something so simple and constant, it becomes tedious

Then why bother with it at all, Remove water as a system and the same amount of space as one waterskin from the inventory.

Don't take it to the extreme, obviusly it's a mechanic in the game, it's hardcore, it's just it's easier to heal broken ribs and heads, than to drink water, in real life it's easier to drink water than in this game
