Walk and Chew Bubble Gum

[FrumpyFurling]

Hello All, 

Just a feature that I would like to see if possible, and it's not a huge change, but I think it would make a pretty good addition. That change is the ability to do 2 things at once. For example: 

Walk & Drink
Walk & Eat
Walk & look at the map...(Think Mine craft look down map comes up, Look up maps goes down...)
Walk & take meds...
Walk & I think you get the idea....

It just annoyed me when I have to stop to do every little thing especially when Im on a time limit...and sorry if any of this has been brought up before. 

Its been about 2 years, since I had played TLD, so coming back and finishing Ep. III yesterday was fantastic, however I still see a few things that haven't been addressed (or if they ever were going to be addressed) that make me twinge a little. The no gloves while holding a weapon I see is still there as well as regardless of what you are wearing you have the default sweater animated on the arms...I worked hard for that wolf coat...(jk stole it from a dead guy, but still...) It would be nice to see that stuff fleshed out. anyways that's all....thanks

I don't know about most normal people, but I have to stop to drink, otherwise i can choke or spill on myself. Maybe eating a granola bar is easier on motor skills, but this is a lot to ask of human motor skills.

Map is useless except in wintermute. GPS is fantastic! For survival, I pull up map on smartphone.(yes mine works in great bear)

Meds are all most likely in the bag, so you have to stop to open the bag and grab them. Well, most of the stuff is in the bag, so you get the idea.

I understand the stuff is in the bag, however, as someone who has done extensive long walks through the wilderness with a heavy pack (military), I can 100% assure you that you are capable of eating, drinking, and a myriad of other things without stopping. Also, yeah If I needed to stop to access the pack or use the radial that's fine but when I have selected drink it would just be nice if I could carry on my merry way instead of having to wait on the drink timer to run out so I could keep moving again. meh, it's just a nit pick anyways...thanks for the reply.

I have a similar feeling with the camera freezing during these and other activities.

Maybe a limited camera movement could be allowed when starting a fire, or other activities, similar to the camera movement during dialogues on Wintermute mode. So, the mechanics already exists somehow.

 

And yes, i think could be interesting to do some things while walking, even if a percent slower.

Didn'tthinterland at some point mention of doing earing animations or whatnot? Perhaps the circle loader was a stopgap meanwhile and eating animations never actually materialized?

I agree with Frumpy, eating/drinking and looking at the map while moving makes complete sense. We can all eat and drink while moving irl, it’s not a complicated process. As it is we can already cycle our whole weapons inventory without stopping.  
 

When it comes to dressing and cleaning wounds, makes sense to stop.
