Drugs?

Oh, I missed Skray's comment.

That's weird.  The stuff you take for pain is acetaminophen or ibuprofen; as in stuff you'd take in real life.  Stamina's handled by snacks, energy drinks, coffee, and one mention of something called "trucker pills" where it says they might be addictive.

If that's enough to get it banned Skerret, you need to move to a less bizarre country.

None of it's glorified though.  Even the trucker pills say something like "not ideal, could be addictive, but might provide the stamina boost I need to survive."

Until the resource runs out. It doesn't tell you when it runs out though.
The game is very rough around the edges but its still a good game.

Phew.  SO TENSE.  I went to do the
.. and had some spare time, so went up to the broken bridge to 
.. and it was nails.  Had to turn back after the 4th horde.  Marcus is level 7 everything and boy can he fight, but when that stamina bar hits the bottom it's a horrible feeling....

I didn't do Herr mission either. Seriously, people keep trying to eat my face and you want me to find a watch? Piss off.

Think I'm getting near the end, although some storylines have gone a bit cold, namely the Wilkersons.

Moved into Snyder Trucking yesterday after rescuing 2 more survivors.  Looks epic for defence, and the chance to open a few more outposts means I've got the opportunity to balance survival and maintenance.

The only thing that irks me is the outpost resources, still.  When I start the game I get all the journal updates; when it says someone's done a scavenging run, does that imply that's the outpost resources being collected?  Because that effectively means until I get no more materials, I can't be sure which if any of my 3 materials outposts are out... and the process is exacerbated by not being able to tell which one you're taking apart when you close one down.

Ouch, that is not fun. I think I would stopped playing if I had lost one of those two out of shear heart break, but to loose both! I'm sorry for your loss.

OMFG, I am going to go play it again.

You can now ask a community NPC to follow you and watch your back. Followers can also accompany you on most non-storyline missions.

Yeah, I spent big chunks of the game taking someone's advice from here, and not returning home after the missions where you help out a friend so I could have an assistant.

I really must go back to this, I'm quite annoyed I didn't get it finished.  But there's a big update on the way, which removes the story and just lets you fight through the world to survive, and then move on to "another valley" in your RV, which is the same valley but with stuff in different places, and do it all again.

Out 29 Nov....

Aye, it was a good beta on current gen, like they were testing out a few things. I'd like to see the finished game do some justice to the ideas using next gen CLOUD P-P-P-POWER.

Yeah, ferals are shit. Can't remember what the others were (that you haven't mentioned) but I know I didn't like them and they didn't make the game any more enjoyable. Next gen should hopefully correct a few things. I would like to see some variation in the zombies abilities, like you get with real people, some fast, some slow, some athletic and strong, some weak and fat, unable to get over a fence etc. The only supers I wouldn't mind would be swat/army and maybe some half zombies, the "I am legend" zombies that could maybe direct the more simple zombies and have them cooperate so you would need to take them out first.

Screaming I can get away with, but I'm not sure why you would limit that to only one type of zed as if you're spotted the noise made by the one coming for you is bound to attract others. The army and SWAT ones are great, perfectly logical rise in difficulty when dispatching those. The rest can fuck off.

Weaker zeds should be in too, one armed, no legs, a zombie that's been run over and is stuck under a car, that sort of thing. You think the street is clear only for that poor bastard to crawl out from under the car as you walk past. You'd need to do away with the radar for that to work mind, but I don't think that would be a bad thing.
