When have you ever seen a protagonist in a game eat with manners or in a realistic manner? Yeah, that is an unheard of concept. Almost every character in a game eats strangely, either shoving a pizza in their face or being willing to pause time to restore health with food. Yes, that sword wound will close as soon as you eat that steak. Hello and welcome to this Community Writing Challenge
Booker is a man, so men like him should do his own thing, right? Well, when it comes to manners and sanitary convenience, it should be a rule to eat like a gentlemen in this utopia known as Columbia. I mean, this man must be very hungry all the time when you eat a hotdog in the trashcan. And why hasn't he gotten sick? He should be dying of something by now. Unless, somehow, the Tears are making the body process halt, reason why he doesn't go to the bathroom.
As you play the game, you can see him eating a lot in. Search the trashcan and you eat everything you see. Surprised he hasn't eaten ammo yet... Probably has... What makes you disgust him even more is how he eats food off of corpses. Now, let me ask you something: a luscious piece of pie on top of a corpse. That's the only food you get, would you eat it? If you were Booker Dewitt, you would not hesitate to eat it. I bet he won't even ask how old the corpse is to see how fresh the food is, he will just say it's food. Why hasn't he gained weight anyway? I guess he burns it off when he fights or maybe the Tear theory make have taken effect in his weight as well? Who knows, he might just have high metabolism.
And to go to less disgusting and polite, we have Frank West. Yes he can be considered a hero in every right, I mean he covered wars you know! But would see that in him while he eats? If a waiter gave him a pie, he would eat face first. No slice, just slam that hole he calls a mouth in the center of the pie. After seeing that, would you see a hero? I don't think so after see him eat something like a monster. I mean, everything you give him will be devoured face first no matter what it is! What about a drink you ask? Well, he just eats the cup with the drink. I guess he's that hungry. It is strange to see him eat something, he's a protagonist and all, so seeing him eat so strangely is... Strange!
That includes the others like Chuck and Nick eat in the same manner as West and it's strange to see the same type of animation for each character. I mean, Nick is a serious and relatable character and yet he eats like a monster. I guess it's the adrenaline going to their head, they try to eat fast. A bit too slow if you ask me, these damn zombies are catching up to you! And those things can eat fast than you Nick!
At least some people have the manners to stop the action just so the hero can get a meal for once. The Dovahkiin and well, any other character from the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series has been able to convince his enemies to stop in place just so he can eat. Wow, they are just so kind! I mean, he's going to kill you after he eats, but good thing you're being a gentleman, Draugr! And it's kind of surprising to see that the hero has packed a lunch just incase he needs it. Where is he putting it? Oh god, I hope he doesn't do it prison style... And I wonder how he eats it so fast? I mean, you can have a mod to make it more realistic, but who wants that? Your enemy thinks it's rude to eat in front of them and enjoying it too much.
And speaking of polite eaters, there is a special guy in the PC gaming universe that just loves to share his food. What's his name you ask? Well, he is called Heavy, but most call him Hoovy. Strange name, but he is a friend guy! He walks around in a friendly huddle, waiting for someone to call medic. Either it be a Dalokohs Bar, a Steak or a plain sandvich. It might not heal your wounds, but it will destroy your hunger! Sometimes when the little Hoovy is on the Offensive, he would use it himself or a medic pocketing him. I know I went off topic with this one, but god, I love a Hoovy in a match. Just make sure that hoovy isn't a spy. They have been doing that for the past year now.
Now, that's it with this Community Challenge. I know there is more that I could have put in here, I mean, I left out the moldy wall chicken for a reason! And don't forget how Corvo likes his food levitated in his mouth. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this and 'til next time...
