Fatigue/stamina is the amount of energy the body has. The more tired out you are, the less fatigue you have left.

isn\'t Fatigue the opposite of stamina then?

like fatigue is normally at 0% and the more tired you grow the more fatigue you get?

Chaotic mind, chaotic mind, where did i hide the point of what i was telling.....

Well, so is it.

But in MW for example it was also called fatigue but it usually was on 100%
I want to be a flame, to crumble to ash, but never ever burnt.

I want to rise higher, rise up to the heavens, but sink, just sink down deeper and deeper into nothing,

I want to be an angel, a chosen, a devil, but I am just a creature that ever wants what it wont get.

since fatique is 100% in the PS screenshot, it is also the opposite in PS I think. Thats kinda strange :S

In general, in most RPGs, the bar starts full to show you have maximum energy and the more things you do the lower the bar goes.

I think that came from the fact that people like to feel like their stats are full not empty.

I suppose \'fatigue\' is a funny way to put it when it\'s best at 100%... considering that your amount of fatigue is how tired you are, which the lower it is the better. Well whatever :P

noun

3.) Physiology. The decreased capacity or complete inability of an organism, an organ, or a part to function normally because of excessive stimulation or prolonged exertion.

yup...I think he didn\'t get a word back because he used fatique instead of fatigue, he used a Q instead of G, but I don\'t blame him, I probably would have made the same mistake...
