Pet hospital?
« on: March 16, 2012, 02:25:51 pm »
So I have a problem with my best war dog. He's requesting a diagnosis, and I don't think hospitals help pets. Do they?

I guess he's gonna have to go through it, it's only a fractured paw.

Picture, if you will, and old west saloon. Various cowboys, gamblers, and bar girls are quietly spending their evening consuming booze and socializing. Suddenly, the swinging door bursts open and everyone turns to look. They are surprised to see a dog standing in the door, with a gunbelt strapped around his waist, and one bandaged foot. The dog looks around the room, spit into the nearby spitoon and drawls, "I'm lookin' fer the man that shot my paw."

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

Even though pets request diagnoses, they never actually receive it. Hopefully sometime soon Toady will revamp the pet care system and actually put the animal care skill to use, but until then your animals requesting diagnosis does absolutely nothing.

We'll probably get something like it after animal knowledge is introduced. It's great they're already asking for diagnosis. That's one hurdle conquered.

How does the Animal Care skill fit in to all of this?

It is sign that it is intended that this will be possible in future version.
