19072, Alcohol, Blood, and Standardization
Posted by Tac on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Sorry, but I'm picking on this because I tried a bard out a little bit ago and realized just how f-ing huge alcohol containers seem to be (at least when they're filled with alcohol). I'm not sure how many drinks are in, say, a large tankard filled with ale, but I'm guessing it's 50ish. I don't know if this was standardized down when that all went through, but it's still a lot. On the flip side, you've got blood containers which contain 5-10 drinks for orcs. Seems to me that if a bard can get the mileage out of their alcoholic beverages that they do, that an orc should be able to get some good mileage out of bloody skins, and something much closer to their old mileage out of the skins which aren't self-created.

I know I've brought this up before, but perhaps with the alcohol counterpoint, someone might take me seriously...

One more point... It's a sad sad day when orcs are carrying healing pills (1 round of lag) instead of blood around for healing. I mean, blood is free, available from multiple sources, and doesn't have eating lag... If orcs are using pills instead, I think that means somethings is wrong in the blood drinking department.

The code automatically adjusts how much you drink based on the type of liquid. If it's alcoholic, you're assumed to be drinking smaller amounts than if you're drinking water. The containers are the same-- you can fill a wine skin with water and vice versa.

Would I drink blood like I drink water? Even as an orc?

That's how it's presently set up. It's like Gatorade!
