More Story behind DayZ

[pinapple900 8]

Now, before that you start ranting at me, saying that DayZ is your story, i would like to just ask for a little more story behind the infection,patient zero, and the stuff like that. Maybe you could find a doctor's diary and it would kinda tell the story of patient 0 and stuff like the infection or a soldier's diary or an official govt document. I would also like an origin story for the infection, just not it being " a currently unknown infection...." like it is now. I want backstory!!!!!

Rocket himself has said he doesn't want to put anything story-related in the game - indeed as you mentioned it is supposed to be your story, so I think you'll be soarly disappointed if you're expecting something this as much as hoping. I believe DayZ Origins has a patient zero zombie in there, but whether it gives any kind of story from it or whatever I cannot say as I don't play stuff like Origins or other mods like it. Maybe have a look into that one if you haven't already.

Actually:

 

Q: Will the game explain a little about the back story, why things have happened etc?
A: Our aim is to make items that allow you to find out about the virus and stuff in the world. My brother (being the virologist he is) has come up with a plausible virus.

I stand corrected :) thanks for this as it's news to me (granted, I don't often follow interviews and such but gain most of my insight from forum posts and legacy).

 

EDIT: just read that linked interview;

"Q: Will there be an in-game notes system?

A: Yes there will be notes, even books."

i wonder if the "aim" has been actually realized, i highly doubt that.
