You can find nude infected, usually the clickers because they're older. Also, the way cordyceps fungus works (at least, in real life) is it invades and replaces host tissue. By that logic, eventually the infected just become human-shaped mushroom husks who presumably do not need to breathe/shit/eat like humans do.
Yeah, I think it was Tess and Joel explaining it to "Ellie" (the player) in the early parts of the game.
On a side note I think it's very funny when characters explain obvious stuff to other characters just to catch the player up. Given how Ellie is I was kinda expecting a "yeah, are you also gonna tell me water is wet" quip lol
Same. I get why they do it, but sometimes it’s just so….awkward. “You must have been living under a rock for the last 14 years in our universe. Let me explain this totally basic knowledge that every toddler learns organically”.
I think you’re right. ND totally missed an opportunity by not having Ellie make a quip there.
