How did you last die?

[TooDAMNMuch]

the silliest most humiliating way possible, i use a preset name with my character presets and accidentally loaded into my play world instead of the test world i made, thus causing the other character to suicide.

i’m honestly not really sure if i count that as a death or not though, i could very easily jump back in and reclaim most of my stuff without a lot of issue.

[ecchi_squid]

Hmm, I think the last thing that killed me was a tough zombie. Been a while since I started playing again. But my second character currently has 1600 kills and certainly more to follow. The mall was just the beginning.

[Stevepunk]

I’ve had more than one character per world before. What caused the suicide?

[ecchi_squid]

Sounds like having two people named the same triggered a suicide. Most likely a programming thing. I don’t think players/NPCs have special identifiers, so the game seen two same name characters and thought “this won’t do.”

[Eggelstein]

Speaks for itself. Savescummed a couple times bc I thought spawning near an anthill was cheap, especially on a heli crash start.

[ecchi_squid]

I allow myself 1 savescum per stupid mistake. It allows me to learn from my mistakes, but when I fail to learn, I’m dead from my own stupidity. Recently died from using an auto doc in an ant infested lab. Should have known better, but now I know not to use it unless the medical area is secure.

[Eggelstein]

Good to know I’m not the only one who has ant problems.

[ecchi_squid]

Well, when I went back, my minor ant problem turned into portals spewing shoggoths. As soon as I find some C4, I’m just going to blow the entrance lol

[crazykiddeath]

If there was ever a justification for mini nukes, it would be that.

Devoured by ravenous save incompatibility.

My last death was quite a tragic one; Since being a beginner in cataclysm I did not recognice symptoms of funcal infection until it was too late. I died fighting zombiedog while my hands and arms exploded from funcal infection

[karllawrenz]

I forgot to turn off Surrounded Start. A lesson learned.

[ericlimer]

Wasn’t expecting the security bot inside the mutagen vault!

[faefux]

I killed the Old Guard rep to see how the guards would react (They didn’t hostile me, i don’t know if this is expected behaviour.) And then got shot in the head through power armor by the doctor who was pretty angry about the fragged Fed.

[yonsisac]

Was eating muffins IRL and was spamming “.” While driving. Drove in to a mine field but dint die, died by a Mi-Go that step on the mine next to me while I tried to escape.

[BlueKanary]

Found a subway inside a lab underneath a city.

I found a hunting horror, but it wasn’t that tough. I had tons of clothes on.
It was taking a while so I looted some nearby corpses.

I found a grenade.
Take a guess at what happens next.

[Metroxylonov]

My char founded a Mininuke. After sometimes sitting in a corner at my bases. I became curious about it’s power.

To safely tested it I dug 3 level down in a middle of nowhere with pick axe. Activated the timer mininuke for 1200 put the mininuke down at level -3 run to about 2 overmap tiles east.
After hiding behind a heli wrecks, I spammed tab to fast forward to detonation time. After about 21 minutes from mininuke activation timer I see “you hear “bang” from the west” message.

Long story shorts I don’t understand how mininuke timer works because the nuke exploded right under my feet when I went to check back the aftermath.

[yonsisac]

Well made a new character just to test a few things and aperantly instead had the shortest game ever.

Evac, walked outside and the infamous large two horned devil himself known as “Moose” said hi and gave me a nice dam beating. But the NPC help my sorry ass.

But guess what? The NPC helped the wrong way with a dam grenade.

[Yukari_Yakumo]

Underestimated Pipebombs and blew myself apart as the result

[Tatterdemalian_Threa]

Did a lab run.

• started in a Weapons Vault
• laughed at the SecBot as it tried to shoot through reinforced glass until it ran out of ammo
• grabbed ID card and booked it
• found a lit empty bedroom almost immediately, began stashing goodies
• found an empty autodoc theater, rare mutagen vault, and bionics vault, all full of goodies
• ready to take on world
• only one staircase up
• opens into fungal bloom room full of spilled plutonium slurry and a SKELETAL JUGGERNAUT

Oh that whacky RNG.
