I played outer worlds recently, and there are all sorts of boosting effect foods and drinks in the game. Don't think I used a single one the entire game.

I hate all that stuff that takes you out of the gameplay just to give you a piddly little bonus that just shaves a couple of numbers off of a fight. So annoying. Every game with "RPG elements" has them too for some reason. Does anyone actually enjoy these?

I really enjoyed the food buffs in ff15 because they actually lasted and felt useful enough. Plus had good story or atmosphere tied to it.

HZD forbidden west I hated the food. Having like 20 different cooks in different locations with different food and buffs and most of them do nothing and you have to remember they are there? And the inventory system makes it easy to forget it exists, what it is and does, etc. Precious seconds in difficult fast fights where you could actually use those buffs.

Same, just collected them and forgot. As someone who played outer worlds a year ago but didn't finish it, I have no desire to play starfield now.
