I think breath of the wild makes a nice use of the stamina mechanic. Maybe something like that makes the game a bit more fun to play? :celeste_bird: idk how everyone else thinks about this.

I use a one-handed mace, dagger, bow and shield. I eat one Health Food, One "balanced" food, and One "Stamina" food. I sneak and use the bow a lot. I sprint constantly. Only mods I am using is Safe Death (with just the no skill loss active) and ThreeXBronze (after I watched a guy in real life make bronze and was like ) - Just so you know my stamina isn't edited.

I consider something to be an 'issue' if my annoyance level exceeds my tolerance level, and it has only occurred doing one activity....farming. Planting crops is SUCH a pita. The stamina drain for planting makes an already annoying activity down right awful. Not only does the clicking and button-pressing cause an issue ( fingers and hardware ) -because there is way to much of it- but the fact it uses stamina is omfreakin doodle-pops....no just no. There are some design decisions in games sometimes that are like ?????? but some are just down-right wrong.

So I agree that stamina usage needs to be looked at. I, however, think it's okay where combat is concerned. Running, jumping, farming might need adjustments. I don't think stamina should be an after-thought in a survival game however. In my opinion it needs to remain an important resource, balanced by the player, if they want to survive and succeed in the game.
