So prostitutes are the easiest one to murder/rob. No incentives there. Your suggestion could certainly be one solution, but it would never been suggested unless someone said, "hey wait a minute".

Indeed, I conceed the point that it is incentivising in the game.

I'd like to retract this statment. I've been distracted recently with the death throes of a worthless university course and didnt give it much thought.

No, the prostitutes are not incentivised, they are not the best method of regaining health.

Firstly the process of getting a prostitute is so inconvenient so as to make any material benefit pointless. The women only show up in certain areas, they only appear at night and they wont interact with the player unless he is out of combat and doesnt have a wanted level, which in that case they might as well just go eat something and not waste the time tracking down one and waiting the 1 minute of the animations to end.

There's not even a point in saving money robbing them as food items rarely cost more than 5 ingame dollars. Regardless of it being easier to directly regain the losses from a prostitute than a convinient store, the cost of the game's legal method of health replenishment is so little that by any measure prostitutes are the less appealing option because there's never going to be a time when a player is going to be in the position where he both cant afford to buy food and yet still have the $25 to initiate relations with a prostitute.

Heck, if a player needs cash for food, he could just mug an npc, it's easier to do that than killing a prostitute or robbing a store, you dont even need to kill them, just point your weapon at them until they drop the cash and run. There is no ingame incentive to killing a prostitute.
