If it ever did make it in the game, it should cause uncontrollable/incurable shakes.

Good idea. Perhaps we could feed it into the existing infection system. Eating human flesh significantly increases your chance of getting sick.

We should also make butchering meat take longer, increasing the time the cannibal is vulnerable standing over his kill. I'd be satisfied with this balance.

I feel like that, even if this could make it into the game, without certain countries banning it for including cannibalism... It would only give people another reason to kill each other... which is really not what we want right now.

Right?

People already kill for no reason it really can't get worse. On anothe rntoe how about ingesting uninfected flesh to stave off the infection you contracted didn't think of that eh.

You're right, if this was implemented by itself. The issue of players killing each other will require a much larger rebalancing. Once that is done, cannibalism will be only a small part.

It will just be another way of Screwing with your victim instead of T bagging them you eat them.

Being vulnerable for the time it takes to collect the meat, and then risking infection from eating it given the rarity of antibiotics, should be sufficient balance to discourage this behaviour in all but the most desperate of cases.

Won't stop me from eating players alive just for the hell of it i get sniped for no reason every 5 mins why should i care about getting undead STDs.

I suppose with enough balancing it would be reasonable. However, as Buzz has said, some people will still just kill you at random for the sake of cannibalism...

So now on top of bandits and just generally paranoid players, we'll have random cannibals too. Yeah, it adds more immersion, but I'd rather have reasons to trust/reluctantly work with other players, rather than be afraid that they'll eat my face.

I can see you didn't get my entire point i said people will kill you just for the sake of killing you not because you can eat them they would have killed you whether they can eat you or not it's the type of player not the feature.

If you guys think it's a good feature that's fine people will kill each other whether they have a reason or not.

Ah, ok, fair enough.

Don't get me wrong it's a cool idea which would certainly improve immersion and realism and I would like to see it implemented some day (with the correct balancing, of course) just... maybe after people have more reasons not to shoot me for my delicious face meats :p

In all honestly this thread has about as much chance as this one below just read the first page and you will understand. Not sure if you know this but if you start a thread and it causes to much trolling you can get banned.

Maybe human meat will restore blood and satisfy hunger, but has a chance to get you diseased.

not sure whos trolling...

this probably has a better chance than that. that requires a whole new system while this one requires a new option while looking at dead players that is already there for dead animals. gut. take meat. alot simpilar.

im dead serious about an option to eat your kill.. i think it would be badass. i mean i like to kill other players. i really do. and i dont mean sniping them from a tower i mean with an AR close by. i get killed probably more than i kill others. im not the best.

on another note. what contries ban canabalism in video games?

[Shorttallguy 3]

I was just thinking this would be a good idea today, but there definitely should be some sort of consequence forcing people to make a tough decision if they want to try and search for food or eat people... like soylent green

[I_AM_DANIEL 0]

agreed.
