Dead body investigation

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

Been playing a week or so now and loving it. Maybe overthinking it but when finding a dead player I would love to know what killed them. Have they been bitten or riddled with bullet holes. That way you can be better prepared what to expect.

Would actually be nice to get some other decent hints.

 

But as far as I know you can already see where they were hit, at least. By looking at where the blood comes out.

Generally if there are zombies around I don't waste ammo and just use the fire axe. I guess that is why I would like to know whatdunnit!

In the mod there was an "inspect body" option, but not sure if that's planned in the future for the standalone.. would be nice if it was. Unfortunately, in the mod, there were only two options..

 

"Died from a gunshot to the head" = They died instantly. (Explosion, fall damage, etc)

"Died from bloodloss" = They didn't die instantly. (died to zombies, or gunshots and eventual bloodloss)

 

Would be nice if there was a new "inspect body" which gave more details, such as .. "riddled with bullet holes" or "A single bullet hole in the head" or "seems to have died of some kind of infection or sickness", or "the body looks dehydrated/malnourished", etc.

Or better yet, if someone is killed by a zombie, they should eventually get up and start trying to eat you :)  That's one way to diagnose cause of death!

 

Otherwise yeah, would love to be able to figure out what killed someone.  Finding a dead body in a town can be unnerving.

Very unnerving. I was online last night and checking a barn that had three bodies laying together in it. A little bit freaky.I was expecting to be shot any moment.
