Snow Blindness - Sun Glasses

[nicko]

Do you think Snow blindness should be added to this game? It's like it is needed sometimes on very bright days.

I need sun glasses?

ski goggles

This has been brought up before. Sunglasses and ski goggles could be found in a lot of places, and put in an accessory slot. It was even suggested that you could fashion some protection using cloth.  I think it should be added, as snow blindness is a real hazard.

It would be a great addition imo. You shouldn‘t actually become blind, but vision should be impaired. Orientation should become much more difficult. Sun goggles would become an important item.

I remember from anthropology classes that inuits (i think it was them) sometimes used wood masks with a slit so they could see through it while shielding eyes from all the reflected light.

You should craft one from 1 cured gut, one cured leather and use a sharp knife with 90% condition or more

actually the inuit would make them from whale bone... and well, we all know where we COULD potentially get that

Thanks, it's been a while, I forgot.

Being as most of their habitation and hunting territory is north of the tree line, whale bone would be certainly easier to find than wood would be.

Would glasses/goggles change what is seen on screen? I find that a lot of bad weather or overcast can become a bit depressing and I quite look forward to the bright blue sky days.

Interesting question, I think it should be so - sun glasses should darken everything, and the Inuit whalebone goggles should reduce vision to a slit.

Ofcourse - but sunglasses shouldnt exists

[cekivi]

I like the idea as long as it's not a permanent disability. Say, instead, a lot of lens flare or blurred visuals if outside without eye protection in the sun. I also wouldn't advocate for reducing field of view. While "realistic" it would make it harder to see the beautiful scenery, forage for supplies, hunt, or avoid predators.

With everything else, even flashlights ready to work, why shouldn't sunglasses exist? Do you think they aren't a thing in the Northern Canadian wilderness and harbors?
