what does eating do?

[Cordarius France Jammal]

just wondering. :)

It's to remove corpses, swow and liquids (water, blood, slime, ..). Some have positive effects, but mostly negative. (and don't eat too much, that's not good ... !)

You don't die if you never drink or eat. The satiated status is just there to prevent you eating hundreds of corpses and drinking 9000 l water.

[Brassqund]

You can drink potions you have. That will use 10% of the flask and
the effect will not be removed when stained by other liquid, making
it pretty useful when there is a lot of blood/water etc
Note that ambrosia and invisiblium will give you food
poisoning instead.
