Why It's Good For The Game

Living drunk was listed as a neutral quirk and is the main mechanism of satyrs. Currently however, there's no real upside and should be listed as a negative effect.

The issue with it is.

  1. The final negative stage of drunkness sneaks up on you with no warning. Stage 1 tipsy gives no status effect and only shows when you're inspecting yourself. Which means the next stage, which gives negative effects such as confusion and puking, which means stuns and makes it hard to control your character. Feels overall bad.
  2. No benefit, since tipsy is low enough, you can't benefit from drunken effects, or even the associated mood buff because of the final stages downsides. There's no depth to the mechanics besides remember to drink periodically and always try to keep the meter as high as possible.

By adding in an additional stage at 41 drunkness, we can address both of these key issues. When you reach 41 drunkness you are given a warning that your getting close to the final drunkness that makes the effect negative.

And you're encouraged to play it tethering in the drunken range of 10-25 to gain some of the benefits of being drunk without falling too deep. It becomes a mechanism you can choose to manage rather than babysit.

Finally, the maximum drunkness is raised some to make drinking early in the shift have some benefit if its something you dont want to play around.

Also, means satyrs should be puking on the floors overall less. Which is nice.
