Basicly then should take what they did right in previous Rpgs.

Best for age and diying + youth and experiance:

Well there is an old game called Darklands! (I wish they would make a new one, But even today it compares to BG) where your Caracter start off as nothing and you give him his history. each choice you make adds 5 years to his life and gives him more experiance. But the caracter can die of old age...

Best For eating and skills:

Ultima Online (Boy did it get old fast...), But skil would go up an down depending on what you did and food was essential to the developement of your Caracter. Sure he woudn't die from hunger but his skills would suffer.

Best for the drinking part:

Drinking, Ravenloft's Stone Prophet Your caracters had to carry around water pouches or have the priest ablity to create water.

For the army part I am not sure maybe a cut sceen like FF7 where your caracters have to manage an army for a major battle or more like Final Fantasy Tactics (Hey I am FF fan I still have No1 on my old nessy, but did ff Thactics blow!)

---------Personaly------------------------------
Personaly I would rather have a multi generation epic where your choices will give birth to a son or dauther (or adopted in race marriges that can't bear children). that would carry on the original quest like in Phantasy Star III

A low Magical world where skills are more important thant magic Like Ravenloft. But where there are multiples issues that can be taken and there should be a aliment tab to follow your carracter aliment. (Let's say If your Lawful Neutral but you refuse too many times to side with the Law, then your caracter would become Neutral Good or Chaotic neutral)

well that's my two cents
