Medium Hunger: Reduced AP, fatigue increases a bit faster. Slightly Hungry: No penalty, but you are aware you are hungry. Hunger is not affected by SPECIAL score, as biology is biology. Fresh foods, on the other hand, are often hydration-neutral. Stored pre-war foods are particularly high in sugars, salts, and are typically dried anyway - eating these increases your thirst far faster than eating 'fresh' foods. However, as in New Vegas, certain foods can increase your thirst levels. This is mostly survival / realism / roleplay based, though.Īs in Fallout: New Vegas, eating both heals you and reduces your hunger. Going to cross-post this from here, because I'm a) lazy, and b) finally got my thoughts neatly set out.
