Stories of Chernarus

[JuX 72]

The Chernarus seems foreign place for many new survivors to the game and i believe adding random fictional stories

of people that lived in Chernarus times before and after incident, which gives light to the events that transpired during outbreak.

Giving players a hobby to learn the history of Chernarus and these diaries and reports could potentially reveal useful tips

among their text, as well perhaps a location of hidden loot.

 

It may seem a bit scripted content, but it wouldnt really influence the gameplay in negative way. People could potentially collect

the entire history of Chernarus and preserve it if they wanted to or simply ignore them or burn them for camp fire.

i totally agree we should find some diaries, old photos . newspapers. evacuation order posters. suicide notes ( most common thing in zombie franchise is - dead people laying in their bed with suicide note or writing on wall. we can accomplish their last wishes. - like find my kid or take care of this ring. :)  if these stories has end at somewhere that would be great. That stories can be random spawn for each server if there is some rewards at end dayz become something bigger and fun to play. dayz team can open a story board and let players add their original stories in game :)

 

i glad to write stories as a amateur film maker :) 

 

here is a simple one.  You find a old chest in random farm house. there is WW2 soviet medal ,old uniform, some letters and diary. that chest belongs to ww2 veteran. On this diaries hes talking about his father, hunting stories and their hunting cabin side of the lake near NE airfield. If you go there and find cabin, you will find precious animal furs and a WW2 sniper rifle in well condition as reward :)

 

 that system should be random if there is 1000+ stories in game you will find a new story everytime. i think thats not that hard to script becouse these missions (or quest ) not that complicated also there is no AI to be programmed.... have nice day :)

This is definitely a good idea to have in game

Love the idea. I'd go one further, though, and allow players to write in their journals - and have journal pages drop as a collectible item which can be accessed from one's own journal (basically, you're stuffing collected pages into your journal for later reference). Basically just have a 'collect journal' option or some such as an action when looting a body, which would allow the player to collect any amusing/interesting/possibly abusive content someone might have spent a few minutes of their time putting together for fun.
