The change to requiring to buy food made me personally not want to replay through at all this patch. Combined with removing 2 backgrounds just so you can add an exp bonus for other backgrounds to me those 2 things feel like a step back.
I also personally preferred the camp progressing over time and building up over one that changed enviroments based on where you were located changes added in patch 5 IMO in some cases were negative as oppose to positive so I will not play it during this patch at all. Current play time patch 5 0 hours 0 minutes will not reach one minute before patch 6 at least currently. For most part dissappointed with the direction of patch 5. I had a few dozen people ask me if it was worth going back to play in patch 5 responded to the same thing to all of them its not worth your time changes are not significant enough to warrent a new playthrough some of them actually negatively impact a multiple playthrough experience. As farming food so you can camp is not a positive thing. Its like adding mmo farming to a single player game which regardless of what anyone says is down right stupid. Way better ways to impliment a mechanic like this in a more positive way. Such as a random encounter chance at least then you would be getting something for it instead of wasting time doing something that is more annoying than fun. Or make you be in locations. The food mechanic overall makes me lower my rating of the game should it be kept for live release than what I would have given it before.
Overall I think this patch had as many negative things added as positive things added which is not a good thing.
