Waterskin vs Flask

Post by Axehilt »

Waterskins take up twice the inventory, but don't hold twice the capacity.

I'd suggest 4.5l capacity for Waterskins, to make them slightly superior to two flasks.

This has been covered in a previous post...

They use a roughly equivalent material, and if you care about realism at all, you're somehow fitting more water and more packaging into the same inventory space?

it's not a realism issue, it's a balance issue.

I was actually saying the same thing the other day. The simple fact is: if it is a container which takes twice the inventory space as another container of the same type (i.e. water) then it should be at least double capacity. Anything less is a waste of inventory space, which we all know is pretty much the most precious thing in the game.

unless of course...you can put wine in them...

This even has historical realism.
