Vampire Hunger Status Should Match Stats

A vampire can be alive, very full, full, (nothing), thirsty, very thirsty, near bloodless, bloodless. That's 8 statuses displayed.

However, a vampire only has 4 hunger determined statuses (according to the wiki; according to the knowledge bots, it has 6). I think that this is very confusing.

While I understand the desire to inform the player that his status is about to change, it would be better if this were done in another way.

For example, the status could display your stat status and your hunger status between brackets:

Alive (engorged) / Alive (very full) / Alive (full)
Drenched (full) /Drenched ((nothing)) / Drenched (hungry)
Thirsty (very hungry) / Thirsty (ravenous)
Bloodless

I don't think there is any need to say anything but that this is about as logical as Design Suggestions come.
