Not that I have any lore to give but I’d be curious to hear up on it. Even if it’s just news stories.
Can we get some additional lore into the game? Functional terminals in homes with emails on them, news stories on the desks in Radio Stations (…Or TV stations if we ever get them…) letters, phone call logs, etc?
I have no problem implementing these things if I can get the go-ahead but I’m not a brilliant writer… XD
I figure the hardest part is making them not feel stale, like much of the labnotes are
1 flyer for each CBM lmao.
[size=8pt]I have actually thought about going over the current lore and beefing it up some and expanding on it some. Then submitting it to see who all would approve of it. Not 100% sure if I will though.[/size]
I think it might be interesting to put in situation appropriate notes left by people - find messages in stashes surrounded with traps, find a message scrawled in blood next to corpses, find mission descriptions with soldiers/scientists, maybe something like a video camera with a description of the video feed on it with dealer corpses, diaries of survival in houses, maybe even things that contribute to skills.
Seriously read that thread
I’ve posted a page’s worth of notes that I really, really want somebody to implement soon. They’re in format and everything.
GUHHHHHHHH

they came in the night
i thought it was ok i thought it was going to be ok in the fema camp it was going to be ok.
the pits of corpses, they started to all get up and we were fine the soldiers shot at them for a while and
then this big thing, a mass of flesh and anger broke through our fence and they all funneled in.
we huddled in our tents and they didn’t hear us
until they did.
first it was the tent across from ours, one of them got angry and yelled and
the screams the damn screams
then the next one they couldn’t have been too loud but they heard it
me and four others were stuck, just watching helplessly as one or two people would run out at a time
with their, what, pipe or knife, and thought they could be the hero and we watched as they screamed and died and attracted more to the rip in the tent
i did the same thing. i ripped through and i made a break for the metal building and frank shot at me and i don’t
i don’t know how i made it but now they’re everywhere. they’re banging on the doors and it’s only a matter of time

Kilo, you should probably PR all that! The Wall Street one made me chuckle 
I would love to see some more lore, or at least flavor, tidbits here and there.
What dust said.
Thank you, a lot. Just been looking for validation to make all that stuff.
