Well characters in most games are not "normal people" so they don't do what "normal people" do. Also it depends on what game you are playing, if you are playing an adventure game these things won't be added. But if you are paying a game like Sims which "simulates" life then attention is paid to such small details.

Some games do require you to eat e.g. Darkstone, and by your, I mean your character in the game. Oblivion is another game in which you can eat to heal etc. yourself. Most adventure games do not have this feature, but,to me, it would ne nice if they did.
I have just started playing Dreamfall (again). And I get irritated about that Zoe in this 3D game can't sit down on chairs and sofas, can't pick up anything, or look at anything. But these are minor complaints. The biggest complaint about Dreamfall, at least from me, has always been the clunky controls.
Adventure gaming is fun

Having to feed my characters irritates the stew out of me!

I'm just envious of the energy the characters have - running here, running there, running back to the first place and then to a third, etc. etc. etc. Only in rare instances do they ever sleep, eating is rare and absolutely no bathroom activities whatever. Makes me wonder how smelly Tex or Gabe are in real life!

if you didn't have enough food for those ten days before you started the travel, your party would all be dead. It was pretty frustrating to a beginning RPG player like me.
cheers, jasper That's one of the main reasons I don't like RPG games, Jasper--trying to keep track of a whole bunch of characters is bad enough, without having to worry about feeding them all!! On the other hand, it must be the dark side of my very conventional character that just loves going around picking up everything that's not nailed down...

I have to admit I like games where the characters take time out to eat or sleep, especially if they make it part of the game. Like in some of the Nancy Drew games, where she goes to bed at night then time advances. I have to agree i also like games where the time is actual real time and time passes and so on. Prisoner of war was like this where you had to escape from certain prison camps and you could move at any time you wanted and the clock advanced and it would change from day to night and from night to morning and so on.

That clock in ND games is a good way to manipulate what you do and what you don't have to do repeatedly - just take a 'nap' and advance the time to where you want/need to be for the next problem or clue...I enjoy it immensly - "different strokes for different folks" Love, Betty Lou

I played a sims game-- for just a little while-- I got so tired of having them eat- go to the bathroom- and clean up dirty dishes- casuse flys started to swarm around-- I gave up--- seems like I could not do much else

Hi I only ever tried ONE of the sims - and my whole city died The guilt was just too much. I have never tried another Adventures and "pause buttoned" RPGs will do nicely for me, thanks Cheers. Mad
