[Complete Loss of Dignity.]

This was when I first played maaaaybe a year or two ago.

Was on top of my game. Had survived a month (give or take), and had an awesome safe house with pleanty of weapons and goodies. Other survivors had broken into my place and felt the Wrath of MottSpott. I felt like a survival god. Then the power went out and I realized that I didn't have a can opener to take advantage of all my canned foodz. I went to the super-tall apartment building next to the grocery store (Yooouuu know the one), because I figured I had overlooked/ignored one when I had first looted it and, lo and behold, I had. It was on the top floor. In my excitement to get back home, I accidentally jumped the railing at the stairs and plummeted to my death.

[Things are looking bleak]

 

if your char is sick (and not sick from a zombie bite) you can cure him back to health with good food (preferrably crafted food), lots of relaxation and sleep and some meds (can't harm to take some beta blockers ^^) at least thats what i do when my char is sick and hasnt been bitten or infected

Yeah that's what I've been doing so far.. what I do know is I have no meds in my safehouse, left them at the old place so I'm wondering if it's worth making a trip back there for medicine or waiting out the sickness and eating well.

Must say, am I the only one who actually has like a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach when playing? The inevitability of death creeping up on me is really there, and I think that's what makes this game so good, that you really feel that fear of being in a zombie apocalypse, you feel the hopelessness.

 

 

Holy balls, no. You are not the only one that feels The Dread. I also find myself getting into character in such depressing ways. In my last playthrough, I wound up getting bitten. Once the symptoms started to show, I barricaded myself inside of a closet in my safe house. Drank whiskey (didn't have any bleach) and smoked cigarettes untill zombification took over.
