Problem 4:

---------------------

#4 I found an armed survivor in the woods and having nothing on me except a bandage I took my chances and said hello, he approached and kept his gun pointed at me, and I was like "hey ! friendly? do you mind pointing the gun in another direction ?" and he went quiet...and I started to become nervous and strangest thing there was a warning in my screen 'open alice pack' and I was... his alice pack ? so I opened it and took the gun he was holding (wtf?) and he was confused as I was and I thought he was going to kill me so I shot him... and then his friend shot me in the back :x

OK, its completely hysterical but it does raise a good point and I've hit it before when trying to interact with things. (opened a friends backpack without wanting too)

At the moment its very hard to identify what you are interacting with and there is nothing to tell you.

In the case of opening another players backpack is it possible to change the screen message from 'open alice backpack' or whatever to : 'Open 'Player Name' backpack'?

(even better would be a light green highlight on the object/item/corpse in question or something, that way you could see it as opposed to reading and guessing)
