[quote=“Random_dragon, post:7580, topic:47”]Hmm. I should try hordes mode sometime. I always have that problem where the initial scramble to survive is the most fun part.
And I swear, a love of organization must be an elven trait, right along with being delicious to dragons. =w=[/quote]
Hordes keep things interesting. It perpetuates that sense of survival and taxing your available resources. They ARE really frustrating when you attract a huge horde to your safehouse. But It’s fun going on a rampage culling their numbers back. it also makes base building mean a damn after you’ve cleared initial spawns out of an area.
Yeah that initial scrabble to just live is fun. I play with minimal traits barring ones that add a little rp character flair for my immersion. 12/10/12/10 starting stats on this one. No skills. Makes the initial start difficult against most stuff till i get basic clothing and a spear sorted/anything with rapid strike. Also got monster spawns at 2.00 and item spawns low. Combined with hordes it makes for some tough initial few weeks sometimes.
Edit: Jeeze nearly got killed by a hulk and pair of feral predators. Was able to down them with my Desert eagle I had scavenged along with rounds for it. But had half a bar of head health and the rest between 2 and 3 and half after all that stabbing and being bounced about. Going to slink back to my shelter by the river and make more jerky and read autobiography of a mountain man whilst I recuperate. Had to pop the last of my codeine to survive the fight. The hospital didn’t have any!
Edit: got cornered between normal spawn hulks and a horde. No way to feasibly get out or kill them. So I dropped my remaining molotovs and a C4 on the ground activated. Dropped what was left of my ammunition. Then adrenalin pumped to the msx and stabbed who I could before the resulting fireball took out a good dozen varying zombies. Glorious fight. Off to hobohalla he goes.
