Foxblade

omfg this needs to be in the mod!

If the game gets this system, it will pretty much make Day Z the best game ever.

I was just running around with a pretty good loot set, and realized that it would be fun to create a new character and rather than work with people actually try playing as a bandit. I created a new ARMAII profile, but I soon found out that the game character data is saved to your CD key and not to any profile. I'm all for persistence, but I think it would be nice if we could have different characters to accommodation different play styles/experimenting around without trashing a character you've managed to keep alive for hours and hours. It would also be nice to start a fresh character to go play with friends, etc. Then you can both start with nothing and work together. What are your thoughts?

I would also like to see if it was possible to have different characters.

I was on a server last night and I got to talking with several other players: It would be an interesting mechanic if players were able to eat the corpses of other players. It would provide food, possibly a chance of infection, and change the character appearance to a chosen cannibal skin. This adds an interesting survival-horror aspect to the game, because now you have the option of eating (or being eaten) to help keep someone else alive. When survivors (or even regular Bandits) see a cannibal, the thought would be something like, "Oh my god, they're going to eat me." It's an interesting mechanic because the cannibals themselves are not zombies-they're survivors who have taken to extreme measures to ensure their own survival. Anyone have any comments on the idea?

Earlier today I had been repeatedly killed by bandits at or near the spawn location. After a while, I lucked out and actually managed to kill the camper bandit and take his gear which was actually really nice. A few minutes later I met a player who started shooting my direction, so I fired back and killed him. Now I'm a bandit. I don't really want to run around killing people from now on, so what are some good ways to restore humanity? It's hard to convince people I'm not going to kill them when I want to give blood or bandages but going on a mass blood drive rampage seems to be the only way I can't think of.
