Talk:Illnesses

Wording

The opening section, while descriptive and awesome, could really use shortening; there is much extrapolation and flowery speech that could be condensed to be more practical and to-the-point. In addition, the original opening paragraph described the way that "diseases", "disorders" and "injuries" do not represent in-game jargon, but are rather community-invented words, which is missing from this incarnation.

Also, the nature of each type of illness has already been described in each category's opening statement; I'm not sure if this needs to be repeated in the introductory section. — ividyon (talk) 05:48, 10 February 2014 (MST) --Sulik (talk) 14:56, 18 February 2014 (MST)

Illnesses caused by death

Do we really need the distinction between "witnessing death" and actively "killing someone"? -Vio (talk) 16:23, 11 May 2014 (MDT)

Please create new sections when opening a new discussion thread. And no, I don't think we do. — ividyon (talk) 16:57, 11 May 2014 (MDT)

Syphilis is missing

[1] Don't know how I got it though.

I got it from a predator fight that we had a lower combat score on. Really quite a strange way to get it. -Neroaelous

Missing Finger is missing

Obtained from blaster misfire; In game text says "You can only count on four fingers on that hand" In game effect is similar to broken finger but worse; all actions cost +1 AP, even normally free actions.. I suspect that it is more severe and cannot be fixed with surgery.

3rd degree burns over 90% of your body

Maybe it was not working for the Human, or now it's was fixed, but Mush may die if he becomes dirty (for example, extract spore). The funny thing is that Mush will die from sepsis. Alfacom (talk) 08:46, 14 May 2015 (MDT)
