StaceyPowers Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 In games where eating, sleeping, wearing the right clothes, etc confer a minor benefit, but can be neglected with zero consequence, do you bother doing those things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 If the wellbeing of my character in such a game doesn't affect my gameplay, I wouldn't care so much about it but being that I don't like seeing my character lacking in any way, I always make sure things are good with it.

Kennysplash Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I so much love those kind of realistic games. It is a projection of the real world, I get to see the world in the game. I would make sure I take care of the character judiciously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is part of the reason why I enjoy playing open world game so much because it gives me so many opportunities to handle characters in such ways when playing those kind of games.

Scorpion Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I often skip those activities unless they provide noticeable benefits. Why waste time on minor tasks when I can dive into action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameOn Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 This is why I often don’t pay much attention to character’s health and sanity in games that have optional permadeath. In Skyrim I don’t rest or eat unless forced to do so. That is why, minor benefits cannot compensate for such an inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I prefer to lead character needs in the games like The Sims or Stardew Valley. It just makes it more believable and can even be used as an actual roleplaying element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it really matters, I don't pay much attention to it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I pay attention to character health in games with a lot of focus on survival, like Don’t Starve and the like. Food management, water management and energy management are the core necessities of life. In other games, I just don’t pay attention to these mechanics.
