I usually dont save scum, but I believe my death was unfair. I had a character who was VERY far in, and I got the flu. So I use a royal jelly, almost immediately after, I get the flu again. So I use a royal jelly. Not even 5 minutes later I get the flu AGAIN. Repeat three or four times. So I look it up and apparently its due to me using adderall, which is unhealthy.
I realize amphetamine use can be unhealthy and addictive, but I seriously only used it like three times, I can’t imagine anyone getting such severe withdrawal symptoms without having been a heavy user for years, even translated for game time this seems a bit absurd.
Anyways, I survived and went to a small town and got a bunch of stuff done, realized my hunger had gotten to famished due to being to weak to hunt anything, so I decide to give fishing a try. I catch a carp, and then I get a message saying “A zombear has come from the water!” What? How does that even make sense? It killed me in one turn.
I forgot to make a backup but is there anyway to un delete my character? I tried to close it down fast enough but it wont let me load now. Shouldnt my save still exists somewhere in the game files?
If you have a directory in your game folder called graveyard, the save file might be in there.
As for it being unfair:
- Most of your story has nothing to do with how you died.
- You have an item that instantly cures a disease, but it sounds like you didn’t do anything to try and get your health to recover.
2a. “I only took it a few times” If you want it to be realistic, we can do that, but that would also remove all benefit of taking it, sound good?
- Zombears don’t have to breathe, therefore they sometimes wander around in rivers.
Oh yeah my bad. Forgot to mention how the flu part was relevant. I meant I would normally have been able to fight the zombear but my stats were insanely low and I was overly weighed down, and didnt have time to drop everything before I died. Also I realized now that my character had addictive personality, so that makes sense too. Only complaint I have is there should be some kind of cooldown between sickness, like a certain amount of turns or hours before you can get sick again, getting the flu 5 times in a day seems a bit off.
Also how common is the zombear thing? Does it only happen from fishing or just by being by water, and is it a common occurrence?
Edit: I don’t appear to have a graveyard folder. Am I out of luck?
Pfft, you think that’s unfair? As much of a veteran of the cataclysm (I say that with semi-seriousness) as I am, this happens all the time. But, it was entirely your fault. You know why I don’t take hardcore drugs in game? Because that’ll get you sick. You know why I always hunt and forage for food in the wilderness? Because meat and veggies keep you healthy. And don’t ever, ever, go out when your stats are low. I have been killed many times when I thought I could do it.
I’m raiding a military outpost at night, right? As I’m looting, I accidently get in range of a turret with one key press. It kills me, and I just lost a two year character. It was completely my fault, and I don’t save scum. A lesser me, a former me, would have comolained about it like you’re doing now, and ask for change, but I don’t. Because it was your, and my, fault.
Swimming zombies are common, and the fact that you don’t have a memorial file is that you tried to exit while the game was confirming your death.
Yea, out of luck in that case.
One correction FSN, memorial != graveyard
