Starfield Players Chew the Fat Over the Effectiveness of Sandwiches

gamepur.com:

Starfield fans who purchased the Premium Edition of the game have been playing it for the last four days or so over the weekend ahead of the title’s official launch and release on Game Pass. After the initial slew of posts about how impressed they were by the scope and feel of the game’s universe, fans are starting to touch on more specific, slightly silly issues.

Earlier today, one Starfield fan created a post about the game’s sandwiches, asking why eating a mountain of them wouldn’t heal their character’s bullet wounds. Responses have been mixed, given how this system works in past Bethesda titles.

Fans Discuss Why Starfield’s Sandwiches Can’t Heal Bulletholes

A recent post on the Starfield Subreddit from one user asks why a mountain of sandwiches only heals roughly a quarter of their character’s health. In past Bethesda RPGs, it’s been possible to pause the game in the middle of combat to eat all the food items a character is holding and completely heal them.
