    In fairness, when is the last time youve taken a shit in a post apocalyptic videogame? Although I still think its cool if things like this are considered.

      If things like this would be considered, the outcry would be huge because female characters have this disadvantage…

      Keep in mind that pretty much ever post apocalyps character would have horrible diarrhea.

      Just imagine every sneaking mission in Last of Us, Joel trying his best not to unleash a dirty bomb. Or the courier confronting Lanius atop Hoover Dam, chocolate water running down both their legs.

      Fuck. They need to do this. Bladder meter . When it gets full you start losing health. But you have to let your guard down to shit or piss and it takes at least 30s.

          Survivor games were dubbed “babysitting bars simulators” at one point when hunger, thirst, sleep and all other sorts of survivor meters were being added to all games because reasons. Unless they have some interesting ludo narrative dynamic they get annoying almost immediately. There’s a reason they don’t show up in recent games as often anymore.

            Sort of reminds me of when they added laying water pipes and adding pumping stations and water towers to SimCity 2000. It was just an added grind which made it less fun.

              The most vital part of city infrastructure in a city building sim is boring to you? 🤔 Why play the game then? Or do you think it’s all skyscrapers and disasters?

                In the original SimCity, it wasn’t part of the game and it was more fun. I understand some people want it to be more realistic, but I don’t really care about realism in games, which is sort of the whole point of this thread.

      In SCUM you definitely have to crap and pee regularly and absolutely can get diarrhoea.

      I died more than once from untimely diarrhoea.
