So… how bad do I piss off the RNG? Did I find a way to break the game, or is this a real issue?
Hulks and brutes come in fleets among the hundreds that appear when I wake up, an event that should be rare at best. Acid rains for days straight, making it impossible to go outside even with a raincoat (the hulks are waiting anyways). My character’s metabolism seems to be in overdrive, since he goes into dehydration every hour even if he’s sedentary. He is also bundled up in wool on every inch of skin to the point of being hermetically sealed, yet suffers from frostbite as the nights grows ever more colder. Even with the Inconspicuous perk and sleeping away from the windows with the curtains drawn shut, zombies still find him (luring in the hulks). CB .22 ammo seems to be louder than a howitzer, given how it still draws the legions of hell. Sleeping in the woods draw triffid queens in enormous droves, destroying the entire world and reshaping the geography, eventually arriving in the nearby towns drowning in acid and reclaiming the abandoned buildings.
I’d really like to enjoy the game, but it seems like with each new version I try out the RNG gets even more ornery. I’d like to go at least one hour in the game without needing to Deus Ex Machina out of impossible scenarios because the RNG wants to be a bastard. Or is this just me?
