There were quite a few times playing ASE when I thought to myself, "Can the survivor actually drink this water?"
Deep in the Island's redwood caverns the water appears completely toxic and is infested with leaches and meganeura, but the survivor can quaff away like it's harmless. This really conflicts with a primary element expected in a 'survival' game: Water Quality.
It's obviously late for ASA, but I truly hope that ARK II carries a quality of water element and couples it with engrams: primitive purifier-advanced purifier. Possibly a few types of different ailments related to the water in the game: Temporary naseau, blindness, slow death, ect.
Maybe too complicated. Thoughts?
