Until at the very least the direct coms are fixed, don't expect the situation to change... I can't play the game the way I'd like to until players are given the means to interact in a way other than just shooting each other. I'll try again once walkie-talkies are implemented, until then...

Until at the very least the direct comms are fixed don't expect any different... the only player interaction I have experienced is being shot in the back because I didn't respond to direct chat I couldn't see or hear, and having to shoot another player in the back because they didn't respond to me on direct. But what the game really needs is walkie-talkies, sure people will still use teamspeak and play in the same 'safe' groups they've always played in. But I don't want to do that, this mod gives you the opportunity to interact with total strangers.. too bad that in it's current stat the only interaction is murder.

There is no right or wrong way to play the game, but as it stands there is only one obviously advantageous way to play. I know it's probably your favoured 'play style' but if I had to kill or be killed by every player I encounter the novelty will quickly wear off for me... there is no incentive that I can see to do otherwise.

With the skins gone I think there needs to be some consequences to at least deter player killing when it's unnecessary. Such as when your humanity reaches -10,000 you struggle to come to terms with your actions and break down periodically, get the shakes and make panicky noises. The only way to then regain your composure is to take painkillers or morphine, otherwise ride out these 'episodes' till they subside after 10 minutes or so... the lower your humanity gets the more often you're afflicted, to reflect the burning guilt I'm sure bandits all feel deep down /sarcasm. This would also be a subtle giveaway if you meet someone who appears trust worthy in their language and demeanor, but then starts to tweak and munch on painkillers all the time...
