Utterly Mad

Laundry, real time. CDDA is really going to shit innit?
I for one can't wait for them to introduce real-time poop mechanics, having to mange when AND where you have to poop and the disposal of it.

At what point will 'realism' trump fun for them?

They're already past that point. Seems like they're just throwing stuff in more because they can and less that it makes a good game-play mechanic with 'realism' to make them feel validated for shoving it in.

Also, did any of you ever end up giving my arcana mod a try? I kinda...put a lot of love into cooking up the implied lore behind the major books, items, and sites. I kinda hope it at least is still functional. What about gaining arcana skill from the books? That was the expected method of developing skill, not endlessly crafting with difficult-to-acquire items.

I always quite liked the arcana mod.
