Forum:Food won't heal in Normal mode

I'm just playing the game on Normal, NO Hardcore mode, and food and water isn't doing a damned thing. I can only heal from chems & doctors. Anyone else having this problem? Is this another glitch.

also, do you realize food/water/anything that's not a stimpak heal over time, not instantly?

Food heals over time, which is why it says things like 5s(+1HP); it means that it will heal 1 HP per second for the next 5 seconds.

I do remember that in the FALLOUT 3 game, when ever you ate ANYTHING your health got better and it was instant. In this new game FALLOUT NEW VEGAS, I was not aware that it happened over time, thanks, I did wonder what all that 4s (+1HP) stuff was about ! :) I will go play the game in a few and watch for that, see if it rises like it says... And I didnt know that Survival skill had an effect on this. Thanks for that as well..Cincykidscott 02:19, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
