Is it possible to gain fat?
« on: January 12, 2013, 06:46:22 am »

I don't exactly know why I'd want my adventurer's to become pudgy, but I'm curious.  Does eating have any effect, whatsoever?  If not, is there any way, modded or otherwise, to gain fat while playing?

My experience in .31 from eating giant eagles was yes. However with the advent of adventurers actually hungering now, I suppose you can also get thinner.
Having no fat can often have the buggy result of making your adventure immune to death by fire and immolation, whereas having more fat can protect adventurers from many attacks, especially blunt ones like punches and pommel strikes.

As far as I've seen it's possible in this version too, just by eating or not.

It's certainly hard to lose most of your fat, because in a little science run I did there was no effect after starving for about two weeks.
I also wouldn't worry about blunt attacks, because the only ones of those that truly matter will be fatal either way. (Collapsing your chest through your heart, or a smashed skull.)

Blunt wounds stack; having that extra layer of fat can mean the difference between bruising and breaking.

Eat only as much as you need to lose weight. Always eat until "too full to eat more" to gain weight.

Eat only as much as you need Don't eat to lose weight. Always eat until "too full to eat more", fast travel 1 square, eat again ad infinitum to gain weight.

Has anyone done any testing to see what food increases fat the most?

I didn't even know weight gain/loss was possible. I thought it was just random.

Hearty foods.  I know food has satiation value.  I assume that its a simple net gain/loss thing or maybe toady has something else set up.  You up for science?

It is certainly possible, I did it myself!

Oh, you mean the game...

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

Thank you for this wonderful submit to a discussion thread.

The best way to do this is to kill a dragon-ish creature,butcher it and then sleep in its lair and keep eating 3 meats.
When you go to your character screen/description screen it should say that you are fat.
