Made it to day 14 on spawn rate 50. It was a pretty cool story and really satisfying. I’m pretty much back to loving this game.
Paralysis is totally OP though. It nearly instant killed me so many times. It was pretty much the main thing that was a real danger after a few days in. I was pretty powerful and could just smack down zombie hulks at this point. But being frozen for a number of turns would cause me to be swarmed and picked apart. I would have to oxycodone and adderall to get out of these situations alive.
Ultimately it killed me though. I was trying to clear out a public works building. Usually trying to clear anything in town is pretty impossible, just because of sheer numbers and endless reserves of zombies(it’s pretty good for random loot though), but structures outside town are doable. For example I managed to clear out an apartment complex with some random NPCs in the area. In previous games I used gas stations to buff the combat skill of my early characters.
Anyway, when trying to conquer the public works, I was confronted at some point by shockers and managed to spread out a group of 5 and kill them individually(of course I couldn’t do anything about shock damage). And then I went back to fight after many bandages. Eventually though another group of 2 or 3 paralyzed me over and over and a brute beat me to death.
Sucks, but I don’t feel so bad because the game was so fun. Though I had this idea I never tested out. Do rubber boots help this in any way? I can’t think of anything else that could protect you from paralysis.
