When crafting a lot, it is very easy for the scripts indicating hunger or thirst to scroll by unnoticed since there are many lines that come up with each crafting attempt. More than once Armolas has gone weak from hunger or thirst while tinkering or fletching because of this. I have often thought this was a good idea.. if nothing else, to recall the last indicator message so you don't have to scroll back though a couple hundred lines of text to try and see if you are hungry or not.
