I'm trying to give the inns more warm atmosphere. So that players would really need it. And during long travels they should anticipate staying in the next tavern.

The first stage to achieve this feeling is the orders of the food. You cannot just come and buy it like from a simple trader. You need to order what you need, then go to the dining room and receive it from the waiter.

On the next stage the food would restore some important characteristic which slowly decay over time. And when I have characters animation (not very soon) I'll add the opportunity to talk to the quest characters in the dining room - at the same time as you eat the food you've ordered.
