So, second round of gaming, new player encounters

Recommended Posts

Played again yesterday, tried putting the game on as soon as I came home from work and was lucky enough to experience 5 minutes of daylight. 

 

Before it went dark again. God, it's really starting to bother me, because the game looks so good, yet I never get to see much of it before nighttime comes. And it lasts all evening/night, so patience doesn't help either. It's just a constant running around in full darkness, never seeing much of anything.

 

On the positive side, met two other players yesterday. One was from a bit of a distance (yet close enough so that I saw him clearly). Either he was a friendly, or he didn't bother chasing me as I ran sideways to avoid him. He stopped and stared at me as I left though, so he did see me. But, I didn't wanna take a chance trying to talk to him.

 

The second encounter I thought myself dead for sure. Entered a house, relatively unarmed (had a damaged baseball bat), it seemed empty, it had entrances in both ends of the hall. Both doors were open. I enter the door after having checked out a room, and suddenly see a guy standing completely still two meters away, armed with a rifle and pointing it at me.

 

I thought; "Damn, now that I finally found some food to avoid starvation."   (had been starving for a while due to the first 3 cities I found being completely empty)

 

I didn't even back off, just froze there with my heart in my throat while being aimed at. To my great surprise, he just stood there pointing his weapon at me. I back off a few meters. He still doesn't shoot, so I turn on my tail and run. 

 

So, to whomever it was who could have killed me, but didn't, thanks a bunch!   :thumbsup:   Could have been he was out of ammo, and simply wanted to scare me off from attacking him (I wouldn't have regardless, but he couldn't know that), but I choose to believe he was a nice guy who was simply cautious.
