Condiments

Postby Potjeh » Tue Oct 20, 2009 3:38 pm

I've had enough of these bland DDD-s. Everyone knows that you can't have a proper hot dog without sauerkraut and mustard. So, I'd like to see all sorts of condiments in the game - sauerkraut, pickles, lettuce, mustard, mayonnaise, ajvar and more.

How would condiments work? Well, I think it'd make sense if they were combined with the main food item to raise it's quality by about 1/10 of the condiment's quality. This would be useful for when you have food that is just a couple of quality points short of giving more FEP.

Of course, some limit on condiments is needed. You shouldn't be able to use the same condiment twice on one food item. Also, it might be a good idea to limit what condiments can go with which food, so you can't improve your carrot cake by coating it in mayonnaise. Then again, people eat even weirder combinations all the time, so it'd be rather hard to decide what goes with what.

Finally, improving food with condiments shouldn't be limited by the cooking skill. Anyone with an IQ in at least double digits knows how to put mayonnaise in his sandwich.

agreed, but they'll need to add cabbage, cucumbers, eggplant, bell peppers, chili peppers, garlic, lettuce, eggs, oil, salt, mustard (foragable herb maybe?). i'd like to see all of those implemented, and possibly more.

I'm odd.

I generally don't like condiments.


But yeah, I support this idea, so long as it doesn't go overboard on the time-period breakage.

...But I want to run a hot dog stand wearing my top hat & monocle.
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
