Sadly I haven't had many decent encounters, but I have mostly been at the coast. The most exciting encounter was again near the coast on the way to Electro just past the lighthouse. I went into a house to loot it and as I got to the top of the stairs bumped straight into someone, as I've only been playing a few days I didn't even think to try communicate - we both looked at each other and just fired. I unloaded a full mag from my AK as I backed down the stairs. I moved away from the house to scout it out, I thought he might have bled out but he either bandaged up or just didn't take a hit due to my erratic firing haha, as I saw him leave the house a few minutes later. I followed him, thinking I was being stealthy but he managed to flank around me and took me out, fair play to the guy! Unfortunately the friend I was heading to meet was only a minute away and the guy was just looting me standing up and was ended quite abruptly by a Mosin round, was still a great effort on his behalf. I am going to head up north in the hopes of actually meeting people who don't just kill on sight but I am going to have to be pretty on guard after past experiences.
