3.4 New Cooking Feature Preview!

Sneak Preview!

While working on the expanded Inigo Banter, I noticed something - some of the conversations only make sense when Serana is doing a certain action (like cooking). It wouldn't make sense for it to just be a random idle conversation.

So I thought to actually have Serana cook during the conversations, which led me to rework the cook feature!

In short, when you ask Serana for stew now (and she is in a home or within the vicinity of a cooking pot) she will now actually travel to that pot, cook, then give you the stew after cooking.

This is mainly for flavor and immersion, as you can still ask her for stew in a non-home related area and she will still give you the stew immediately, as it was before (she does not need to have cooked something beforehand and have it in her inventory).

And here's where the banter comes in. When Serana starts cooking, there will be a low chance (thinking 25% but it could be higher or lower) that she could strike up a conversation with Inigo (if he is in the party of course). There are currently two cooking conversations, and one of them doesn't end well (for the food) so you don't get anything hahaha as the pan kinda explodes in her face (but that "failure" convo will be much more rare).

Anyway, here's a sneak preview of the updated cook feature in action! (Still working on the Inigo Banter, it'll be ready soon!)
