So I was thinking that maybe there could be some ways to deal with zombification implemented. The most obvious one i can think of is amputation within minutes of getting bit. Of course this would include having someway to remove the limb, staunching the blood flow, and the usual medical aspects that would make it very hard to do especially in single player (you would probably pass out from blood loss/pain) It would also add interesting aspects to the game such as only having one arm available, limiting your ability to properly wield weapons and do certain tasks, as well as increasing the time it takes to do tasks. Losing a leg would make you have to crawl until you could create some way to make up for the loss of that leg and severely limit your mobility. Other Ideas I had for this problem would be some sort of immune system booster you could take that would decrease your chances of being zombified for a certain amount of time (maybe adding a science skill tree or something where you create this.) Also you could add a way to pump yourself full of drugs in order to prolong your life temporarily after being bitten, maybe taking antibiotics every few hours will keep you alive until you stop taking them (not sure what is causing the zombification in this particular universe, so whatever applicable medicine.) Of course keeping yourself supplied with drugs would get harder and harder and this would just prolong the inevitable. As for adding an actual cure I cannot think of anyway to actually balance that, as it would pretty much end the game once you got it (if theres nothing to fear, wheres the fun in playing the game?) but if it could be balanced where the game doesnt lose its appeal, it might be a cool end game addition. Maybe you could have the materials really hard to find or a very low chance of success, idk havent really thought about it too much. Let me know what you guys think or if you have any other suggestions that might add more to the game as far as dealing with zombification. PS. A science skill tree might be cool. Edit: Im sure some of this stuff has already been suggested, I hope some of it is useful though
