Started yet another new character.
As I was getting my obligatory initial setup done (which consists of getting my fabrication and survival to 1 by grinding recipes, followed by making a knife spear and wooden needle and tailoring as much unencumbering clothing as possible to ready myself for my first loot run), my shelter was attacked on both sides by a pair of mi-gos, a trio of wolves, and a few blobs. Thankfully the NPC in the shelter was armed with a shotgun and proceeded to shoot the hell out of the mi-gos and wolves while I stabbed the blobs to death. During the battle, my fellow survivor went outside the shelter to take out the last wolf, and stayed out there. This is good because now once I board up the windows I can set up the shelter and leave items out in the open and she won’t try to steal them!
My next step was to process the materials I gained from the wolves and from the large pile of dead bodies that the mi-gos were hanging out near. Unfortunately they weren’t drug dealers, gangsters, scientists, or military. They just had regular clothes on them.
At this point I was dehydrated and it was night, so I made a quest into town to grab something to drink, and the first house I entered fortunately the basement of the first house I entered was the bar setup, but had non-alcoholic beverages too.
I feel good about this world. My top priorities now are getting to Construction 1 and boarding up the rest of the shelter, organizing my gear neatly, and then find a working vehicle because the evac shelter is a little far away from the town. There’s also a school and a 2-story motel nearby that are probably full of useful things. Exciting stuff.
