How to get rid of fatigue?

[jmvbento]

Ok, so, the game is VERY fun so far, but the fatigue system seems incredibly punishing. I just finished clearing Nashville level 3 (still haven't done level 2), and after clearing the meeting hall my character had so much fatigue he fell asleep right there. So now he clears 2 fatigue every couple of seconds, which I suppose means it's gonna take a while for him to wake up.

Once he does, how can i get rid of Fatigue? I know sleep clears it (how much fatigue is cleared per hour, anyone know?); any other ways?

I still maintain that picking locks should not give that much fatigue.

Agred. Or at least make it a % chance to apply fatigue, or at the bare minimum you get less fatigue if you use a lockpick or the gun vs your hands.

I feel like if you are more dextrous or something, it should apply less fatigue. Same applies for some of the combat skills. Like, it feels really weird that I use this jump attack on someone and I just instantly fall asleep on the floor.

Just like real like the best way to go is massive amounts of coffee and soda to wash down handfuls of amphetamines while chain smoking.

There is a perk called invigorating teleportation, something like that. It gives you 500 fatigue everytime you teleport. Sounds circumstantial, BUT: 1) you can use electricity psi gloves and 30 on psychic to trade places with a companion and 2) If you really don't care about being silly, the game counts the option "trade places" with companions (right click- trade places) as a teleport. You can freelly do it and get 500.

Maybe it's linked to difficulty setting? I only played on normal so it was no real issue at all.
I got flattened and killed once by some guy with a 1h hammer or something that fatigued me to the ground where his 3 other mates beat me to death but other than that I had no drama with it. Standing to rest wasn't bad. Using a bed was better. You can camp anywhere on the world map and have good sleep. I didn't feel it was anywhere near the issue this thread makes out but if on higher difficulty it is more severe then so be it.
Maybe I got lucky with my character creation stats or choices in the game or something.

I think it was kind of shoe-horned into the game in an attempt to counter how easy combat without it got. They made combat so hard at one point nearly nobody could do much and there was a lot of unhappiness. So they made it easier. Then it was too easy. It really could have just been a regenerating stamina system where the regen speed built up over time. The longer you are out of combat the faster it regenerates. You might get 10% in the first 15 seconds but speeds up and would take a minute or so till full.

The encumbrance and the fatigue system in my play through were both so easily managed it simply became an annoyance. It never really took long to sort out at all but had to be done so often. Both systems just felt entirely trivial and therefore unnecessary so they could easily have been left out and hardly anyone would have cared.

I am running into the same problem fatigue is a really stupid system... you get tired doing anything. I think the devs decided that no matter what character you create, he/she suffers from lethargy.

Easiest way to get rid of fatigue is hit level 6, take that teleportation perk. The one that removes 500 fatigue every time you teleport. Level up psyche to 30 and cast "castling" spell on your companions. You'll never need to rest again.

I speed ran Encased and beat it in about 7 hrs doing this. It saves time from needing to load in the rest area and is completely free. No relying on items.

It gets easier. I had to reload multiple times till i figured out what was what. Get used to searching for items that help fatigue. levelled up a little with emphasis on your energy.

Honest, its such a wonderful game overall. Updated Fallout 2 I know but still beautiful and a great RPG.

really like the game, but honestly...the whole food/drink/fatigue system is enough that I just likely won't bother playing it anymore. I really dislike having to micro manage all that on 'top' of ammo and other consumable stuff. even more so when it can be such a pain to recover it. Sad to because the game really seems like a ton of fun. Just got it on sale, and it'll likely sit in my library and collect digital dust bunnies.

I feel like people overreacting to the impact that fatigue has on gameplay. That said, I think some of the difficulty settings had reduced survival mechanics.

But fatigue feels more like a mana bar than anything else. If allows you to "cast" things like lockpicking, doctor abilities and some psycasts. Also you don't really get any meaningful debuff until you reach level 2 fatigue, same as all other survival debuffs.

As others have mentioned, there are quite a lot of consumables, especially coffee, as you can pick up free cups from machines all over the place. Something I've missed for a long time is that there is also an option to camp on the world map, so you don't have to scour the level for a bed. Although you get the worst quality bed. But then again, time is just an illusion, so you can sleep for as long as you need.
