So, I saw someone post on facebook that there are limited options for food if you want to play as a vegan or vegetarian. Looking at the wiki page, there is very little to eat that doesn’t include some meat. You are basically reduced to seeds, the different breads, the different gruels, and the different berries. So that got me thinking about other foods to add.
I would like to see some fruits and/or vegetables added to the game. More for variety than anything else. I also wouldn’t mind the ability to have a cow or goat to provide milk, so you can make cheese. More food recipes is always fun.
As a chef, I always love the concept of cuisine in games. With the history of Conan, and the civilizations which the regions are based - there is a rich history of vegetarian cuisine to be found.
I agree Adam006, and have called for some Fruit Trees to be added to Conan Exiles. The thread is closed now, however you are welcome to have a read through it and vote/‘like’ if you wish.
But even something more simple like a berry/nut mixture.
Hell, I’m surprised by a lot of things not added food wise, that would be/should be - especially considering the designs of some of the armors and their influences. Then again, food may not be a huge priority for Funcom, but having it adds a sense of realism to the game.
So why not have more realist cuisines to the menu that fit the times - and the people of the eras.
I’d like to see the the Gladiator Drink added at some point, which often times was a combination of 2-3 ingredients. Water and plant ash. Or vinegar and plant ash, or a mixture of the three. (Roman citizens often referred to gladiators as “hordearii” or “barely eaters” in response to their diet, which often times was heavily vegetarian.)
Well we certainly have plenty of water and ash we can use.
I would also like to see some plantable Barley (and Wheat) added to the game. In fact some more farming and agriculture in general. Good real life survival isnt just about hunting and gathering; it is about creating renewable food sources.
I would also like to be able to plant food in the ground. Perhaps some fertile soil ‘foundations’ which we can lay, and would subsequently allow us to plant plants on them.
