1. I can't refill my water dealy.
2. I can't buy a new water dealy.
3. My party members don't buy or pick up new equipment when they lose or run out of it. (I had an archer in my party, and he just ran around hitting things with his bow.)
4. I can't bandage myself or others.
5. I can't drag people's half-dead bodies to safety.
6. There's no treasure. Or magic. How can there be mudmen without magic? And the monsters never have any loot.
7. My axe got stuck in a musk-ox, and I backed away from the fight, and then I couldn't find my axe again.
8. No daggers? Who would live in a world with no daggers?
9. I save people's towns, but I never get anything in return.
10. Can you hurt stuff by wrestling with it?
That's all for now. Otherwise, keep up the good work!
Back to the mission.
I remember reading something like that on rgrd,when some guy wanted to make Conan RL. Looks like he never got to it...

Personally, I can't wait till thirst, hunger and wounds won't vanish when you move a square on the world map. :)

As far as magic goes, underneath, it's all the same -- like a debugging option with some in-play queue that lets you change things for no reason. You don't need to worry so much about the implementation -- as much as we have one now, I don't really want a stock universe. The things we have now, like Blizzard Men, are mostly there to make sure that special properties are implemented. Then the random generation can begin. We don't want another cheap fantasy universe, we want a cheap fantasy universe generator. A lot of fiction sounds computer generated anyway.
