All of your torches and shovels are not going to get eat by termites after every quest. Originally posted by knucklehead:I can understand the mechanic but it seems its only purpose is to make the game harder. I also wonder why in these sort of "The mechanic I don't like is unrealistic" discussions no one asks - why don't my heroes weapons and armor get worn down, why don't I need to pay them, why don't I have to import food into the hamlet and give it to the heroes? Where does the Grave Robber keep an infinate amount of daggers and why doesn't the highwayman have to reload his flintlock pistol between shots? 'Cause it's a game and mechanically none of that makes sense. Do you really think the Jester and Highway are the sort of dungeon-robber murder-hobos who will give thier (likely heartless) boss back that shovel they didn't use? Even the 'good' heroes like the Vestal and Crusader seem pretty sketchy, they came out to the estate after all, and how many Kleptomaniacs are on your squad? That shovel, it bought your vestal another shot or rotgut or helped the plague doctor purchase something awful. Secondly, as a game fiction matter I will point out that the player is not the heroes in Darkest Dungeon, the player is the expedition financier. You are betting a certain amount of money in supplies that you can benefit from them (and indeed one rarely loses money taking a few bandages into the Weald or a keys into the Ruins.) more then they cost. Darkest Dungeon seems to be modeling some elements of early tabletop RPGs, where inventory and item cost are themselves a mechanical constraint, hence picking supplies (as others have said) is another risk/reward element of the game. Oh also RNG!" but more charitably it means "This isn't like every CRPG I've played where I can stack potions near endlessly, what gives?". Now first there's the question of what realistic even means in a game about hacking up magically animated skeletons in an underground maze, my own thought is that it means either "I don't like this mechanic, wahh. Some people may argue that thier avatar in the game bought the stuff and it disappeared, and that is unrealistic.
5% to 10% would have a negligable effect on gameplay.
