Holy shit! Imagine an end-game character equipped with most bionics and RM13 combat armor. You know what killed him? A fucking grappler.
So after completing a quest I decided to retreat from the spot and I saw a grappler zombie approaching. Knowing he poses no danger to me I went straight to my car and started going backwards. In that very moment I was grappled by the zombie somehow through all doors and ripped from the seat. And you know what? MY OWN CAR run over me. I wasn’t even pulled under the wheels, I was just merely disconnected from the driver seat.
I feel like the scum of the Earth for savescumming that event away. That is such a glorious death that is actually rather amusing and I don’t feel bad to lose this time. What should I do, what should I do…
I don’t think I will be able to develop a new character after that though, essentially dropping Cata for a few months again. Playing with permanent death sucks if most of your deaths are mundane deaths from carelessness like opening a door to a turret lab room not diagonally, but right there, giving the turret a free opportunity to kill you. That just sucks and I am not satisfied with that.
UPD.
Well, I killed myself by jumping in front on my car. It was worth it.
Day 71 for Alice. She was doing a simple supply run. Cleared a few basements, thinned the horde a bit, gathered some more foodstuffs. You know, the usual.
Lo and behold! 10 zeds and 1 cute lil skeleton of a dog appeared. She knew the dog would be hard to hit with her big ol’ mace and she didn’t want to make the noise with her shotgun or glock. So she called forth the power of the burning bush. The Burning bush consumed the dog and then a zombie and then another zombie and then it spoke to her… BOOOM, KAPPPOWW, BAAAM.
I am beginning to think the risk/reward of using burning bushes past the first day or two is not worth it. Eventually a zombie will drop an explosive and that’s it man, game over. Even with late game gear, survivor suit and all. I seriously had to take a deep breath on this one in order to resist savescumming.
RIP Alice. You will not be missed because I’m just going to clone a new, prettier, better you. You suck Alice.
it’s the fastest way, just set the fire to the door to a room with a window, then go out through the window. after that, wait. just keep away a bit - fire noises attract zombies to fiery death.
Got back from hunting some giant ants with a nice haul. Mostly meat, I’m stocking up for winter. Got a handful of chitin plates too.
It’s dark so I’m crusing along at about 30 mph, and there’s an amoebic mold in the middle of the road. I’m not terribly worried and just ram into it.
Apparnetly the force of the impact destroyed the tile that I was sitting in. The resulting force was also sufficient to completely destroy the frame, the seat, the controls, and basically every other component on that particular tile. No other tile was destroyed, just the one I was sitting in.
Basically the car seat crumbled and I fell straight through and landed on the pavement. The rest of the car then continued forward and ran me over.
I don’t even fucking know with this game sometimes.
ive started 4 or 5 new games in new expi with same oldsettings and i made it 9ut of my starter house 1ce.
theyre fucking everywhere! Im a hung over shoeless drunk with encumbered hands and no combat skilks in a burning buildingon a snowy night without a coat, not superman
Not the seat, controls and everything else, just the frame. Collisions can only destroy stuff on the colliding frame and nearby frames. Meaning you most likely had a very weak frame under your seat.
In Week 2, I had few worries and was working on my Deathmobile when I ran out of batteries for my welder. I headed into town toward the electronics store, and halfway there, Z’s from a smallish horde headed toward me, a few at a time (no specials thankfully). As I was dispactching them, a shocker brute appeared out of nowhere from the opposite direction of the horde. I trapped it in a car and was planning to take care of it after all of those regular Z’s were taken care of.
As I was doing that, the car exploded and set me ablaze! Somehow I survived the explosion, but no body part was above |. Because my pain was in the triple digits and my inventory’s volume capacity was 1/3 of what it was before (19), I had to ditch my steel spear and hope 25 handgun rounds would be enough to get me back to my safehouse. Once I was about 1/3 of the way there, I entered a house to get some Z’s off my trail. Unfortunately, with 25 speed, they caught up to me 1 turn before I would’ve had a closed door between them and me. I used up the last of my ammo taking care of them, and went to the one room of the house that didn’t have a Z in it. But a small horde saw me through the window, and I couldn’t outrun it. RIP, Desmond Frost, the terrifying gym teacher.
First, i almost died in a town full of custom zombies that seem like something added by rebalancing mod… zombie night stalkers, corrosive zombies and other zombies whose names sounded like something you don’t want to fuck with… I had to dump my precious cart full of loot and run away.
I healed up in my camp, which i set up near a fungal forest, and then went exploring. While exploring, i found another special zombie, that didn’t seem as menacing as others - “Zombie Grenadier”. I thought it basically means “don’t try to burn or shot him, or he’ll explode”… I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHEN HE STARTED SPAMMING GRANADEHACKS AT ME. In theory, i was close enough to my fungal forest to have a chance to run away and let my grey friends kick his ass… but granades were faster than me… much faster.
I’ll leave this world alone just to preserve the fungal forest i managed to create, but fucking hell are zombie grenadiers even lore friendly? How do they have brains to operate those hacks???
Because they are not the traditional Romero style zeds. They have an extra dimensional collective intelligence in the form of the blob controlling them
