Just tried creating a character in a PK mod world.
Spawned in the middle of a heavily forested region but in a stocked evac shelter. I recruited the NPC and we headed off, checking out an orchard first but not finding much.
Then I wandered north, only to be ambushed by a “confident in its stride” bear and decided to use the NPC as a meat shield. He died horribly and I escaped. I spotted a motel and figured that I had finally found my safe haven, only to see a chicken walker right in front of it blowing up the zombies. So that was out.
I wandered further north past an anthill, carefully avoiding drawing aggro from any ants, and picked up a nice L-Stick from a scientist corpses event area.
That’s when things stated to go south, as I started encountering fungus. I tried to avoid it but was attacked by a “sickly-looking wolf”. I didn’t think too much of it but the description neglected to mention that it was a fungal wolf and even though it only managed to attack me once before I put it down, it infected me with fungus, slowing me down by 10% and making me periodically feel ill.
Feeling not so good about my chances of survival and forced off my main path by the sight of a wandeirng horde on my world map, I stumbled off a side road as the sun began to set. I turned on my light, only to be met face to face with an office building and a pack of zombies that came with it. I probably would have risked standing and fighting, infection be damned, but there was a brute and there was no way I was going to be able to handle that thing. So I made one last-ditch attempt to flee northeast into the city, only to be surrounded and torn to pieces.
I don’t know if I just got extremely unlucky with the spawn (starting near fungals is always a bad time, and a chicken walker that early? seriously?) or if PK’s mod is just that brutal, but it was an extremely demoralizing and short run.
