How would it be trained? Looking at things ?

How would it be trained? Looking at things ?

Pretty much 

[Iceblaster]

Seriously though, on training that skill if i t ever is implemented, I would suggest that when you read a book relating to the category, you have a chance to gain a 'You now know what x looks like' or something like that.

I'd probably just tie it directly into the PER skill personally.

Yeah, that was my original intention as well. But I'm no programmer, so I don't know what's easier to implement.

Spoiler: Too much realism is bad: A slippery slope fallacy. (click to show/hide)

All pill bottles look roughly the same at the other end of a dark room. The only way you could tell would be to walk up and look at the label. This pretty much means all pills should have to be interacted with in melee distance before they're identified. Also, if you have low perception and no glasses, the pill bottles should be wielded individually so you can read the label before you open it up. And you wouldn't be able to read what's in your backpack, so your inventory should just read "A bunch of pills" until you grab and wield the randomly-selected bottle that has the pills you want. You could have a spare backpack to put the unwanted bottles in, at say, 5 bottles per turn, but after that you couldn't read them again without wielding them.

Gameplay > realism.

[Krevsin]

Gameplay > realism.

Also true.

Still, just make it so you can't identify pills at more than melee distance (so you actually need to walk over to them) would be ok I think.

[Iceblaster]

I wouldn't mind. I don't normally go to pharmacies and rely on pills I find in houses.

Probably because I'm to scared to go deeper in the city.

Reading "To Serve Man" shouldn't  kill your morale if you have the cannibal trait.

Wait, we are getting worldgen options? Yessss. I'm just looking forward to the silly things we are gonna be able to do with this.

I would play an endless megacity Cataclysm, reclaiming the world block by bloody block.

Any news on how flying things are coming along/where in the dev plan they are?
