Provided it is not overcast you can up your gamma to make it easier to see. Some people don't like it as they feel it is a bit of an exploit. But the way I see it, at night under the moon and stars you can actually see. It is NOT pitch black. So all you are doing is bringing the game back into check with reality! And it doesn't mean you can see EVERYTHING, it just makes your immediate surroundings more visible. Also it makes the game look damn cool! Sort of half cell shaded, half like an old zombie flick.

I find the game too immersive to let the nuances you listed bother me. Yes the system is simple, water icon going red? Need to drink. But funnily enough life is that simple, do you feel thirsty? Then you should probably get a drink.... I don't think they need any more than that. And When you are plonked into a 225KM zombie and bandit warzone walking into a house and grabbing a bottle of water isn't always the easiest task. So a simple fix yes, Thirsty ---> Drink but not always easy to get that drink in the first place. I would be supportive of increases in realism in regards to weapons you mentioned. Longer reloads, heavier weaponry giving more kick (at least for a while untill your character 'got used to it') and snipers being less accurate just because I think this type of stuff would be more encouraging to survive together instead of shoot each other. But it is not a problem with it how it is now. The only thing that is a real issue atm is the warping zombies, but it is in alpha, and anyone who has played it for a few hours knows what to expect with them and how to best deal with them.

Registering my interest in purchasing a shirt, either #1 or #2.
