Some Clever Username Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Just a quick thought but, What if when you die and you load that world up again, and you meet survivors that knew you they might mention your previous character? Just some quick dialog like, "I knew this guy, he saved my life. His name was (Insert Old Character's Name Here)" Or like, "(insert old character's name here) was an asshole, I'm glad you're not like that." It'd just be a quick fun thing to hear. So, yeah I just had to let out my idea.See Ya! Walther, PhantomWarlock, LeoIvanov and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I like it alot, would also give you an idea of the shit that went down while you weren't there. Makes me wonder how many things the NPC's will "Remember" y'know? syfy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomWarlock Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 It definitely would add some funky spunk to a play. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Clever Username Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yeah It'd let you catch up and just be a nod to your old character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Good idea... Maybe the zombies will know the character. But, if this was managed to be squeezed in, I'd LOVE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomiboi Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 It's worth mentioning that you might not be able to play the survival world again after you die in the future. So you'll have to start a new save when you die. I at least remember Rathlord mentioning this at some point here on the new forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icewind Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It can be way cooler if you can actually meet your dead old character as a zombie ))))You can recognize him by the big blue bag on his back, or… dressed like your character was dressed… or he will be the only zombie still carrying that nailed baseball bat… no, no swinging with it – just dragging around with him, that’s all.I don’t know If it will be cool to smash the head of your old character with your new one… but I bet that blue bag have a lot of good stuff… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomiboi Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 but I bet that blue bag have a lot of good stuff…That's at least one reason why I personally don't like the idea of continuing the same save and why it shouldn't be an option in survival imo.

cuddlepums Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well completely refreshing also might make some people mad because they wanted to continue in the old world because you impacted the world with your character, and reliving your old characters past sounds like a cool experience also the world you played in will be more eroded and have more of a post apocalypse setting and I and probably others like starting with a more eroded/apocalyptic setting, but starting fresh is always fun too since you get to see the world become into a wasteland of zombies.

Mr_Sunshine Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Awesome idea! Reminds me of people mentioning 'Lee' in The Walking Dead Season 2.. Bennytheowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Clever Username Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Awesome idea! Reminds me of people mentioning 'Lee' in The Walking Dead Season 2..I kind of got the idea from that. I loved reminiscing about Season 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Mary Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think it'd be a challenge to code, but it would be nice. However, I don't want their to be useless commentary; like, I want it to make sense. For example, if I make a guy named Tom who never interacts with anyone, I don't want survivors saying "Hey, you remind me of Tom, nice guy" or "I'm gonna kill you just like I killed Tom" and things like that, mentions of a player character just because it was a player character. If events actually happened, like if you save someone then die, and they remember you, that'd be neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what if your character was bit and turned then you play again and get bit and they argue and one says, "Remember what happened to Tom! He won't make it!" Also, maybe if they are just bored and you two talk about past events. This should be added even if it isn't a past player character but also NPCs!
