[quote=“leland, post:1, topic:13019”]Finally got somewhere in my game. Befriended an NPC with a great gun and excellent stats, had some decent weapons myself, and then I stumbled across a survivor’s bunker out in the middle of some woods. Had entire tanks full of water, supplies – everything.
I’m looking forward to trying out farming for the first time, am looking forward to building up some skills and constructing furniture. I build a bulletin board for the first time, set up a zone.
Then I tell my NPC to remain at my base.
Boom, he starts running across the map and is almost immediately out of earshot because of the trees. I have almost no health and will die without his protection, so I start running after him, hoping to corner him by the time we emerge into a field. However, he’s somehow a champion sprinter and outpaces me the entire time. I spend three days and three nights chasing him, sleeping only when necessary.
By this point, he’s on the very edge of my visibility – about 50 or 60 yards out. And then a tank drone appears on my map, next to my NPC.
This guy who has accompanied for the past week, who’s seen incredibly harrowing turns while next to me, dies almost immediately. Three turns, BAM BAM BAM, and he’s dead.
Then, the tank drone turns its laser targeting to me. BAM BAM BAM.
I die.
Tank drones NPCs are bullshit.[/quote]
