Liquid741 (DayZ) 8 Posted January 4, 2014 My gear is good...read the forums, took a lot of advice...and went North. (Go NORTH MY FRIEND!) Seen no one in the obscure towns...still took my time and made sure I thought about what I was doing and how I would box myself in before every house/building. Kinda bored right now, but I know that it's alph and a lot of more content is on it's way. I'm pretty much exploring and getting to know the map..I however have a small issue. Why am I in Russia? and do I have amnesia? Honestly if we are going for true to life survival game, then explain why I cant read anything? Why I have no clue where I am at, or how I got there? Are well all just medical patients for the clinical stupid that we as fresh spawns/new to game have 0 clue about the world we live in? Loving the game, but made me wonder why I dont know where I am or why I am in a different country... :D Oh, and if this is Russia where is all the Vodka?

Korsbaek 1778 Posted January 4, 2014 Oh, and if this is Russia where is all the Vodka? We are not Russian. We are Chernorussian! Chernarus is a place in Czech Republic, which is why there's no vodka around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogscraper 328 Posted January 4, 2014 Chernarus is part of the old Soviet Union so there should definitely be vodka laying around somewhere. The land was only modeled after part of the Czech Republic. I love the fact that everything is in Russian. The story is you have washed ashore and have no memory of how you got there. The fact that you can't read anything helps the feeling of disorientation. The Dayz mod got me to learn the Russian alphabet just so I could more easily tell where I was, (before I learned the map). Now when I'm watching movies like Night Watch its awesome being able to read a lot of the stuff that ends up sounding like its English counterpart. Like seeing something that I recognize then realizing what телефон means. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
