I didn’t record that run, I’m afraid. I don’t always record my runs because I end up getting discouraged when I get murdered on day one sixteen times in a row while actually attempting to record. Long story short though, I managed to sneak into a house just fine, got plenty of meds and food supplies, was mildly worried about a giant wasp hanging around that I could see outside my window, but just ignored it. Then went back out the window and saw a Mi-Go, who had just murdered the giant wasp. Fearing that it would break into my house, I left the house to attempt to engage it on my own terms, but I can never beat a Mi-Go in melee combat no matter how hard I try. D:
That reminds me though, I’ve been thinking of trying a silly idea for a self-imposed challenge run to make fighting zombies and monsters a bit more challenging, provided I can make it past Day 1. I’m tentatively calling it the “War Has Changed” run, and while I could ramble about the story stuff, I’ll refine it to the basic rules:
-Most guns are DNA ID-tagged (With the exception of guns found in gang shootout aftermaths) or locked up, meaning I’m not allowed to just take any gun I see.
-Ammo, however, is fair game.
-The basic idea here is that if I want to use guns of any kind, I have to either hope I find a gang shootout, or more reasonably, make my own guns and use whatever ammo I can find.
I dunno, it was a silly idea that came to mind, mostly because I really enjoy being a crafty type, so making my own guns sounds like it’d be fun, even if they’re nowhere near as efficient as the many proper guns I can find lying around. So I just needed an excuse to make most guns unobtainable, and bam. War has changed.
EDIT: Also, regarding melee combat, for the most part I’ve been trying to take weapons that have Quick Strike or otherwise have less than 100 moves per attack, primarily because it means I can get a lot more hits in. Since a 2-by-4 has 112 moves per swing that puts me in more danger of being hit. Maybe I should make a 2-by-sword this time around. I usually like using either that or a cudgel for blunt damage combat, and a Knife Spear for sharp damage.
