Sprained wrist/ankle vs. falls

[bikingviking]

I think the mechanics for sprained ankles/wrists need some work.

In current versions of The Long Dark, I can move down an almost 90-degree cliff edge like a mountain goat, without falling or taking any damage.

Yet I regularly fall when moving across flat land in perfect health + suffer wrist or ankle sprains.

I think there needs to be be more consistency here. I completely understand falling on flat land if I'm tired, hungry or in low condition. But overall I think the steep inclines need to be more dangerous (and prone to sprains), and flat land less so.

I agree, there needs to be more of a connection to a particular action when it comes to sprains. Another thing I would like to see, is an increased difficulty in treating them. Much like the treatment for intestinal parasites, we should be forced to take pain medication over multiple days, until the sprain is healed.
