Back-seat moderating ladies n Gents....... Don't do it!

I think OP's idea should be used in combination with bandit character models. PvP would at least be halved.

The game would choose at random. Less common blood types would be chosen less often, too. Otherwise players would all pick the same blood type.

To further add realism and difficulty to this mod, which seems to be the interest of the developers, a few new features I have in mind could be added to the game. Nothing wrong with a little more challenge. 1. Blood types. It is unrealistic that you are able to pick up any Blood Pack and use the blood to restore your health. What about blood types? Realistically speaking, what if it is a different type of blood from yours, and is unable to be put into you? I've always found it a little strange you can use literally any blood pack. My suggestion is that Blood Packs should have a random blood type, so that they are only able to used by some players. Restoring your health fully will no longer be as easy, which is an idea I for one welcome with open arms. Such is life in DayZ, after all. 2. Cannibalism. One of the key aspects of DayZ is the overwhelming fear of other people. You do not know who you can trust, and what people may do out of desperation. Realistically speaking, I think one person would kill or hunt another for sustenance, rather than succumbing to death. DayZ is set in a a desperate land on the brink of human extinction, so there is no reason to not have cannibalism implemented into the game. Finding the butchered corpse of a human would be the telltale sign of nearby cannibals, and would make the game much more frightening. To tell who is a cannibal, a player who does it too often would become decrepit looking and possibly shaky. 3. Eating Raw Meat. This feature is very important to the previous one. Realistically speaking, humans can digest raw meat and not be sick from it in some cases. Would you rather die, or would you rather eat raw meat to live longer despite the risk of sickness? Most people I think would pick the latter. Raw Meat could be cleaned, or washed, in order to somewhat lower the chance of sickness. This would make Cannibalism, if it is ever added, unable to be abused or be an easy route for curing hunger. But like I said, it is not impossible to eat raw meat in real life and be fine. I think some carcasses could carry the infection, and mean inevitable death for the player if eaten raw. That way, eating Raw Meat would be extremely risky and only be for last resorts only. 4. Sleep. To enhance the realism and danger of DayZ, a sleep requirement could also be added. The more you exhaust yourself, the faster your requirement for sleep would rise. This would also add to the stealth aspect of DayZ. I imagine sneaking up on a camp of sleeping survivors would be quite an intense experience. Sleeping would add a lot of opportunity for interesting scenarios in the game. Not only that, but it could also be used to enhance the survival of players. For example, a sickness could be warded off faster while you are asleep, or your wounds could heal faster.
