Thanks again for all the feedback. understand where you are coming from but being able to slaughter the NPC's would be half the fun of it lol. But reality is it seems its just never going to happen so no point pressing the issue :) as far as searching goes, if you refer to my initial post I was having load issues with search function.

Good to know that this is not within the intention of the producers. Thanks for the feedback. That said I think it is a bit regretful. In the 10 min this post has been up it already had 11+ views implying some general interest in the idea of NPC. And just to be clear, NPC are not about "feeling lonely" they are about adding depth and atmosphere to the environment. In reality people would hold up in areas far more then players do in game (boring to stay stationary as player). NPCs would allow a way to including a more realistic range of human reactions in such an environment not to mention add opportunity for plot for sandbox fun. But of course... there is always someone with nothing better to do in their life then be a condescending #@! on forums.. way to go applejax :)

Good to know. thanks for the feedback. I figured they were somewhere... I guess then my concern would be why are they so hard to find? seems like you shouldn't need hours of searching to find a simple stick a woodland based setting

If you can bash a human head in with a good sturdy stick why not a zombies? not saying it would be as effective as most melee but should still be better then fist

I would like to be able to be able to use sticks and rocks as short-term weapons prior to finding real means of defending myself. if the objective of realism, wouldn't the first thing you did be grad a hefty stick or rock to protect yourself? maybe give these items very limited use/durability or very limited damage as to not take away from the initial challenge and anxiety but at least they would offer a crutch while you look for a real weapon. Also, maybe later if you found a knife you could widdle a spear from your stick?

I am sure this is already suggested many times but the search function seems to not find anything - or bugging out. I would like to see some NPC's about the world. List of possible suggestions -Survivor enclaves -Wilderness survivors (friendly or not) - Zed Hunting Packs - Wounded, starving, or otherwise needy people - Remnants of Civil Authority Forces - police/military characters

I would like to see some way to create sound decoys/traps such as fire alarms, radios, alarm clocks, or setting off car alarms or horns. In zed infested towns it would be awesome to be able to set up a building fire alarm or set down a live radio as decoy then loot other buildings while zeds flocks to the noise.

Thee food suggestions: 1. Eggs - there are so many chicken coups about but no eggs to be had that I am aware of 2. Mushrooms - this could be a interesting add - make some that kill you, some that help you, and some that have other effects. maybe make it so you need a guide to know which is which 3. Harvestable Veggies like pumpkins, tomatoes, etc ( I know this is a repetitive but there are few things more aggravating then starving to death in a field of unharvestable pumpkins)
