Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Bread is not Food??

I need to rest since I am out of heal potions and very near death, but I am told that there is no food in my hero inventory. He has bread..is that not food?

Do you have any water, or anything to drink? If not, that may be the problem.

Thanks. I won't want to eat bread with nothing to drink either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I never pick up any drinks but I can still rest.

I never rest!

Oh, in the game, you mean! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> Nope, don't rest there, either!

If your characters can regenerate health, then find yourself a safe spot, and just let your characters hide there. Leave your computer, but don't pause the game. Come back in a while and they should have regenerated all their health. I don't think that you need to be walking to regenerate.

But always beware..... when you come back to your game.......you may be dead! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
or severely dying! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Exactly why I say find a safe spot. Or, you're right, you'll come back to a couple of corpses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I went through the entire game without collecting any water (except a specific container for 1 quest). So I don't think that's your problem.

My guess is that perhaps the rest calculation requires a certain amount of 'food points' to work. If you have less than the required amount it fails to run.

This is not very realistic of course - you would expect to be able to heal a small amount if you had just one apple or whatever. But it may not have been programmed that way.

There are also rather a lot of minor bugs and unsorted loose ends in BD, so it may be that you picked up a loaf that somehow had no food value assigned to it, or which failed to trigger the internal calculation.

Sometimes dropping something and picking it up again can 'reset' the game calculations too. There's at least one spot where the NPC refuses to acknowledge that you are carrying the required item, but if you wander away, drop it and pick it up again, it will then work.

I think that somewhere in the game there is the opportunity to get a healing spell too, which can replace the need to rest.

I found that I rested a fair bit in the early part of the game, but as I got stronger, smarter and better equipped, the occasional potion or short period of standing still was enough.

Good luck. No fun being hungry... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i think it might depend on who is holding the food (ie, one of the 2 main characters) and what bread graphic you have, because i didn't have any problems eating bread when resting. perhaps some of the bread that you can eat by clicking it as in DD cannot be used or doesn't register as food required when resting. i noticed the water can be consumed by clicking as well and actually heals a very small amount of hit points.
