Forum:FOOD DOESNT SEEM TO ADD HEALTH ?

Cincykidscott 20:27, October 22, 2010 (UTC) Hi again. Thanks for the quick reply but I am in "EASY" mode. Its odd, sometimes I will get like 1 point towards better health but usually Nothing.. This goes for different foods and drinks, I have even drank water and got nothing.Cincykidscott 20:27, October 22, 2010 (UTC) 68.213.219.30 16:08, October 22, 2010 (UTC) Hello, I put in over 300 hours in Fallout 3. I am now in my 4th hour of New Vegas. I cant figure out why when I eat some food, it will not add points to my health as it did in the last game, (Fallout 3) Its like this with some liquids as well, does anyone know why??? I do notice that sometimes with "some" foods it does add a point or two, but most of the time it will have no effect. Thanks68.213.219.30 16:08, October 22, 2010 (UTC)Cincykidscott

Because you're in Hardcore Mode. It only heals you over time. Tezzla Cannon 16:09, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Actually it heals over time regardless of hardcore or not. Only stimpaks are an instant heal in regular mode. Many of the best foods have a long duration and a low per-second health regen, such as Sunset Sarsaparilla with its 2/sec for 25 seconds. I tend to eat a few different items for faster regen; eating more than one of the same just extends the duration. -- 20:45, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
