Maybe not as fleshed out as it could have been but outright removing it was wrong in my opinion. Hunger gave you something to think about during your dungeon crawling. It made you search for items that would you could eat (without wasting useful items). When people speed through dungeons with the b button I found it only obvious that you'd get tired or hungry. Not having that function and still having regen health just made the game seem shallow.
And I've heard no one say the games are particularly hard, because they aren't. But making them easier than they already were isn't a good choice.
IQ could've been fleshed out too. But no, they just removed it and added nothing new or built on top of it and you guys just eat it up
