Ever wondered why your character just seems to be an emotionless zombie killing machine from the start? Well, this is my suggestion: Your character has actual people/things he cares about after the apocalypse begins. This would give the player a "quest" on the start, such as checking in with your character's friends and family. If ignored, these can lead to depression and other symptoms. By example, these can be: - Leaving your house behind - Checking in on friends and family (Will be great once we have NPCs!), probably zombified - Going to your workplace (Brave police officers would go to the PD and help fight the chaos.) - Personal objects found in your home such as photos, rings and such, losing these will get you depressed.

(Note that I already made this suggestion on mod ideas section) It's simple. Characters would spawn in with job-specific items. By example, if your character is a police officer, it's most likely that he would spawn in with a pistol, or have one in his household, and along with the keys for the police station's gun storage. Of course, many jobs would need some serious nerfing (Woodcutter), but it would be sensible to have them spawn in with something that fits their job.

What horrible monster would do such a thing? I just don't know how some of these would be done. Would "The Purge" be a bunch of NPCs running around with guns and baseball bats?

My suggestion is quite simple. If you pick a certain job, you should spawn or have items in your household that fit that specific job. By example, if you're a Police Officer, it's understandable that you would most likely have a gun on you, or in your house, along with the keys for the police station's gun storage. Baseball player? Baseball bat, duh! Carpenter? Hammer, or nails. Veteran? A pistol or hunting rifle. Of course, some jobs would need to be tweaked such as the woodcutter, so people don't just spawn in with axes. But overall, it's a nice detail and, I think, easy to add into the game.
