It has no effect on game play? :huh: Seems like it does.
"No real effect", i said. Rates are way too slow for them to be a problem, and the minor "sickneses", which is the most i've ever gotten, don't have any serious negative effects. Ammunition has weight, but again it only really matter with MF cells and explosive ordnance. In practice the effect is barely noticable, partially thanks to the generous carry weight one gets with even moderate strength which means it's still easy to carry more than enough food, water and ammo.
