[quote=“NoobKid, post:3523, topic:47”]Burning building scenario. I got out through a window, cut myself, caught on fire, and was greeted by several burning firefighter zombies (OH THE IRONY), some of which I killed off with a two by four. Then I turned a corner and saw a horde of zombies and mostly zombie children. Fighting would’ve been suicide, so I ran into a house and kite-‘n’-killed with the broken window-which went pretty well, until a shocker zombie joined the fray.
I threw the two by four at it and ran like hell. Through the house, into a kitchen, out a backdoor, into the back yard, over a fence, and into a small raiding party (around four or five) of survivor npcs. Fortunately, I wasn’t deafened by the explosions from the stoves and stuff catching fire and managed to convince the survivors to not blow my brains out-well, some of them at least. The others didn’t talk. What followed was amazing. The NPCs took half the horde down and the other half burned to death. Some of the friendlier ones followed me and cleaned the small city out for me. I’m not sure if the game’s still active off screen but I like to think the other NPCs were committing acts of awesomeness too.
I’m well into my second Winter now. My arsenal includes several high-end U.P.S. weapons as well as my signature Automagnum. My survivor outfit is self-made, fitted, and reinforced. While most of the NPCs stopped following me after a while, Lara McCroft and Scottie Something have stuck with me since day one.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I LOVE NPCs!!!
P.S.
Are they supposed to spawn in groups that size or was it a bug of some sort?[/quote]Speaking of NPCs, they’re just about perfect, but they just need a “don’t loot” command, or at least have everything the player picks up and then drops be tagged as his/her property so the NPCs will stop looting your base dry.
