So no arms would be basically a non-standard game over? As you can only move around that is. And nothing at all if you have no limbs left? Hmm, perhaps it could work, not sure…

I like this idea a lot.
Might be kinda cool too if you were able to gnaw your limbs off in the absence of anything sharp, or if you get your leg caught in a bear trap with a ton of zeds hot on your trail and no time to free yourself.

Should require some mutation though, like fangs or claws or something. Otherwise I am not sure if humans would be capable of such a feat.
Oh, another possible problem:
What about CBMs or mutations that you install in your hands or legs?
I get the feeling this would be much harder to implement, then it seems at first.

Without anything… YOU CAN ROLL![/quote]
Wuy oh wuy have i got the mental image of a survivor, with no arms or legs, scuttling along the ground in mechanical centipede style legs ? Could also be mutant legs too!
PS: Also he has some sort of laser eye CBM/mutation… whats wrong with me?

If you lost both arms, there is still the option of the certain computer in hospitals.
Also, there are functional people who only use their feet and legs, due to deformaties. i think it’s rather plausible that one could survive without arms. Without arms and legs… i don’t know about that.
Assuming you ate everything (ground the bones and whatnot), you might actually be able to gain some time due to there being less of your body that is calling for nutrients (though the cost of your body attempting to heal might cancel that out). At the least you would be able to ensure that your body “ate” the parts of your limbs before internally consuming your organs.
Nevertheless, self-cannibalization is a bad survival plan.
Although when you consider how many drugs he was taking, he might as well have just got super high and not bothered with eating. That would be a better alternative for dealing with hunger pangs…
Realistically I’d like to see actual penalties for having a broken (or eventually missing) limb prior to giving the player the ability to hack their’s off.
