Grimmblut 5 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Diving suit, 50 fortitude, Advanced Water Temperature Fortitude skill. Time it takes from full health (115 HP) until death: ~50 seconds. Is this really working as intended? Edited January 17, 2019 by Grimmblut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will Parrot 18 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Water is still water, humans are still humans... Try to figure out in what kind of world you'd have liquid water at -76°C... PS : This is just like air temperature going down to -45°C from time to time in temperate biome... Gosh temperate guys... ! O.O Edited January 17, 2019 by Will Parrot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean we can sail a ship with one man, into the wind with square sails, and get shot by a musket and still walk away and magically heal a few minutes later.

Of course its a game, but still you need to eat, you need to drink you need to rest when you're out of stamina, but liquid water can somehow go down to absurd temperatures... Deep water on earth is between 0 and 4°C even in polar areas cause water's maximum density is at 4°C and when you go down pressure rises... -76°C above water why not, in the water it's non-sense... That being said the game is probably just showing you surface temperature ? And then applying the effect of you being wet and paf you're dead x) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimmblut 5 Posted January 17, 2019 I'm looking at this from a gamedesign point of view. Diving suit, 50 fortitude, Advanced Water Temperature Fortitude skill. That's close to the best you can do to push your insulation while under water. If you do all this, should you still die within less than a minute? Is that fun? Well, dying usually isn't. Is that challenging? Not really, no, since there is no way to overcome the challenge. You can't do better, no matter how hard you try. Thus it crosses the fine line from being challenging to being frustrating. Taking all that into account one has to ask the final question if that is good game design.

Dragoon14th 12 Posted January 17, 2019 tbh if you are wearing the diving suit then disable the temperature things to being at constant balance rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
