Meat!!

Postby JherodJ » Wed Oct 22, 2003 3:06 pm

Just a question I didn`t think fit anywhere.Shouldn`t there be different types? I would think the meat from a mountain goat would be different from the meat of a horse,nutritionally anyways....Also is there any chance that cantrians dead bodies could produce meat? I have a character very interested in this prospect :twisted:

I call them cantrians because I don`t know what else to call them...Humans? thats another question,Do I just refer to them as characters?

I like the idea of different types of meat.
Or the ability to turn the meat into specific items, such as burgers, bacon, sausages, etc.
Also, if we can have hawks and pigeons, then could we perhaps have eggs?

I worry about cannabilism although in theory it's perfectly possible I guess.
Though I have visions of people arriving in Sring Sri to find one fat character in the middle of town, surrounded by bones. :)

I agree about the meat...as the game is now they don't have to be different in the form of how much you eat...it would just be interesting to know what kind of meat it is even if it has no effect.

Regarding the cannibalism I don't know...the idea of cannibalism would be interesting, but there were very few, if any, cannibals who ate human flesh just to fill their stomachs.
Usually they ate only small, selected pieces during religious ceremonies.

I think there is some effort going into making varying types of the same thing much easier to implement, to make it easier on staff, so that might be why that is waiting.

I like the option to eat cantarian flesh, so i'd like to see it in game

MEAT IS MURDER!

But you know what murder tastes pretty good doesn't it? - Dennis Leary

Though the Looking Glass quote aye JherodJ?

More Cantr chracters should listen to Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.

"Say hello. State your name. And say "Very nice to meet you" That's manners"

The desription of "The Walrus and the Carpenter" at the beggining of the movie Dogma was great.

Is meat the only thing animals produce? Do they produce bones,as alternate tool resources or hides for various purposes? or anything like that?

Some provide hides, or wool, or fur, or other things animals have. I haven't seen bone yet.

I think cannibalism would be an ok addition. IRL it's certainly possible although highly frowned upon. In game it would probably be the same. If you were really desperate for food you could eat someone, but if anyone ever found out........

I think it's a shame so many real life attitudes creep into our gameplay. Hopefully if children are implemented they will be played as "blank slates" completely influenced by the world around them, and not our personal pre-conceptions
