Wightlion 28 Posted December 31, 2013 Ingame for 3 days now and thoroughly enjoying it and some but here's a question,...what's the significance of the books lying around and what purpose,if any,do they have ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strict_flow 11 Posted December 31, 2013 To my knowledge they are scrap loot.. Useless, much like toilet paper and razors in the mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little8020 14 Posted December 31, 2013 They are there so you can read if you want, something to do other than kill New spawns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted December 31, 2013 I found a copy of Call of Cthulhu before the character wipes, I'm still looking for one since I never even got the chance to crack it open. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aodqw97 78 Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Book 'em Danno..?Hmmm, I'm gonna take a wild guess here fella. I'd say going by the title and the fact that you are in 2 locations that like me you're 'old enough to know better?':D Edited December 31, 2013 by aodqw97 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Publik 404 Posted December 31, 2013 To convert all of us to Christianity ;) Got my pristine New Testament and a copy of the Magna Carta I think. I'd actually really like a copy of the Qur'an, been meaning to read it one of these days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spets15 0 Posted December 31, 2013 If you take a look on my signature, I am proposing to Rocket to make them useful.thats a stupid idea, why burn the books? why not use as someones diary that contains some info for interesting hiding loot? you suggesting to destroy the only little thing that left from the civilization? Just kidding... but my idea is better :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irl-calibre 744 Posted December 31, 2013 you need to add it to your tool bar first, then you can open the book by pressing the corresponding number and read. iId been taking a crack at "Moby Dick" but to be honest I found the language a little too flowery, then my character reset & I have no urge to find it and finish it in the rw, now I've picked up a copy of "the art of war", something to do for those prepared to overwatch a position for hours to pass the time. great addition to the game, a book mark would be nice too.

Kolnan 5 Posted December 31, 2013 They are in so if someone say me for instance wanted to run around in priest clothing (Potentially) literally beating people with the bible... I can... =) did I mention that I love Dayz? I know you can read them now but the ability to beat literally "thump" someone with a bible is to tempting to pass up... besides who reads now a days hur hur hur :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
