Would you like for them to give you a mode that required eat and sleep? It adds a RP aspect to the game that is optional and give a purpose to the food we need to buy and cook.

Personally, no. Mods tend to deal with that type of thing.

But I already eat.....and sleep why do I need a mechanic that tells me to do these things?

Said it before I will say it again. Do you need someone in real life to tell you how to wipe your [censored]? No? Then why do you need Bethesda to tell you that you need to eat and sleep? The power is in your hands to do so. See now, if you start eating and drinking, then you will start needing to go to the bathroom. After all if you don't urinate and defecate you can die in real life. (Sadly this happened. With the Wii, it's hold your Wee to win a Wii. A lady died holding her wee.) So if Bethesda needs to tell us when to sleep and eat that will mean Bethesda will tell us when we need to go to the bathroom as well.

Do you really want Bethesda to tell you how to wipe and when?

You give the PERFECT reason why Bethesda doesn't put it in the game, because you can't do it. If you can't do it, then why add it in? You can easily eat 6 small meals a day. You can easily nap or sleep during the game. You are Choosing Not Too. (going by the fact that you didn't say you did this in the game, I am guessing you are not doing it.)

I tried doing this in Fallout 3 and Skyrim/Oblivion. I always forget doing it so basically did the once a day eating and sleeping. Didn't really add any immersion for me. Then when New Vegas came out, it didn't add any immersion to the game. Just an annoying aspect to the game. "OH look I am hungry" eat squirrel on a stick. "OH look I am tired" sleep on a mat. It didn't really add to the game play. So I am glad Bethesda left it out of the game.

After all, I don't need Bethesda to tell me when to wipe.

Fallout New Vegas had this option at the beginning of the game. Personally, I loved it. For me it added immersion, for others, like Davor, it didn't. That's fine, I respect all players opinions whether they are the same as mine or not. Should this option be a mandatory part of the game? No. Should it be an option at the beginning of the game (like FNOV)? Yes. Doubtful if Bethesda will take the time/resources to do it. But I would expect a mod to eventually become available that allows this option.

Would be cool to have, yea, a mod can do it just as well so its going to be not that much relevant anyway.

But still.

I suppose eating and sleeping would have been a nice RPG element for Survivor difficulty, but most casual players would likely prefer not to have that aspect of "real life" in their games.

my suggestion is to simply wait for a mod since such mods have been released for previous Bethesda games.

?

While a survivor option like that would add another layer to the immersion and role-playing, it would certainly need to be optional. I do eat and sleep anyway in game (when I think about it) so I'm just going with that for now.

you could always eat and sleep on your own...and if you forget your supper, as a penalty, drop a grenade by your feet...

I found in New Vegas I was generally eating and sleeping enough anyway to make those bars rather inconsequential - it just had no effect.


I tend to save my Stimpaks for in battle, and food and water to top off between - which means I'm already eating and drinking plenty. And I rest before heading into the Wastes for the XP bonus.


I played with hardcoe mode in New Vegas, I just didn't feel it added anything that I wasn't already doing for other reasons anyway.


I liked that mode for the other effects, but Fallout 4 already has heal-over-time so that's fine by me.


Options are great - I just don't feel those meters added any gameplay or made anything more interesting for me, personally.

If you want to set up a rule for yourself to eat then do it you want to set up a rule to sleep then do it you want to limit the amount of ammo to carry then do it. All it takes is a little imagination and some will power.

I'd rather them add more quests and settlement options to the game than spend time on a mode that forces us to do something we can already do on our own, but I wouldn't put up a huge fuss about it if it did get added. Plus, my characters already eat and sleep enough without the game telling me to do it. I don't like traveling at night because my real life eyes have a hard time seeing things on a dark screen, so my characters usually sleep until morning before doing anything anyway, and they always carry cooked food to use before using up any stimpaks for healing, so end up using all that food during adventures too.
