A hard one this. How come I can be up to my neck in water yet die of thirst?

It's salt water.

That's a good point - surely not all the water in Book II is undrinkable.

So how's this for a stupid Book III feature request: use an empty waterskin next to a body of water to fill it. The resulting water might or might not be drinkable, depending on the specific water source and/or a random roll. Water in "found" would be similarly suspect. Bad water might do damage or inflict diseases, but characters with a high enough Survival skill would be able to determine if it's okay or not.

Not exactly the top of my feature request list, though :)

Montezuma's Revenge for example?

Sounds cool... not sure I'd want to be playing the game with that characteristic in it, though. It sort of says: "Only get your water from trusted water sources, never anyplace else", which I think sort of defeats the purpose of the found water.

The game gives you a choice between dehydration and disease.
