Just started last night actually! I was exploring a house and in the hallway I found a pistol and ammo, but then this guy barged in saying not to kill him because he's a new player. I figured he was alright and I wasn't planning on harming anybody until I noticed he had a crowbar packed away. He rushed for the loot on the floor, but luckily I managed to grab the gun and one clip of ammo before he took it all. This was the first time I've actually managed to hold a gun in DayZ so I was kind of nervous wondering if he saw the gun and if he was gonna try anything. He then went for whatever was in the kitchen and I followed after him. Unfortunately, he got whatever was in there so I headed back for the hall when he started rambling about exploring. With my back turned, I heard/felt a thunk and noticed I was taking damage. I quickly turned around and started blasting away as he was trying to beat me down. As he laid on the ground (gushing blood and still swinging his crowbar), he said he thought he'd have the advantage if he hit my head a couple of times and laughed it off. With the rest if my clip, I calmly executed him with a couple of shots in the head. Afterwards, I took his broken down crowbar, the ammo he looted earlier, as well as some chain fences. While patching myself up, I was left wondering: "If I hadn't picked up the gun would he have attacked me?" and "Why couldn't we have teamed up and explored the world together?" DayZ is the first game in a while to leave with some actual emotion and I'm excited to keep on playing!
