Wolfguarde 108 Posted February 17, 2014 Ok, here's the issue: This isn't about psychopaths in apocalyptic world, but about player sitting on the chair behind the computer.You just lost all credibility.Anyone who deludes themselves in believing that ingame behaviour mirrors real-life behaviour - or even mentality - to any major degree is an idiot at best. People might play as a psychopath ingame for fun. Some of them might happen to turn out as serial killers in real life. Some of them might turn out to be good samaritans, businessmen, factory workers or unemployed yobbos with nothing better to do with their time. Ingame behaviour is a stupidly inaccurate measure of how someone acts when they switch off their computer.Any of the above could be a serial killer. The fact is that most are not. And playing some video game that allows people to act a little - or a lot - darker a person than they would in real life isn't going to change the way they act in the real world. Give or take a miniscule percentage, but the rule holds true for more than 99% or the world would have descended into chaos ten to twenty years after video games first hit the market. You don't see your average CoD kiddie screaming down the streets with a rifle in one hand, laying waste to the local neighbourhood. Once virtual reality hits the market your argument might have some merit, but nothing short of complete and realistic immersion in a hellish scenario is going to warp anyone's mind sufficiently to destroy their ethics or morality.

haven923 65 Posted February 21, 2014 I vote on collecting ears. Would work the same as IDs, but would have that bandit twist ;)Anyone who has played Diablo II understands... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duenan 226 Posted February 21, 2014 Oh man. The bandits will be all over these once you can collect the IDs of the people you kill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huggster 0 Posted February 21, 2014 The only way I could see ID's being of any use is if they were needed to enter a building/ access an area or something of a similar nature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALEXANDER10 (DayZ) 8 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Oh man. The bandits will be all over these once you can collect the IDs of the people you kill Not all characters will carry an ID. Only those who want it. This is one of my previous answers. Not sure if you read the thread: Good point. But I think that should be looteables (optional) do not say that the characters MUST HAVE an ID. My idea is that having an ID is a personal decision. As if this apocalypse really happen, some people will destroy their past. Others are instead embrace it, it's as simple as that. An option. In fact I also enjoy a lot of anonymity that gives you the game. The only way I could see ID's being of any use is if they were needed to enter a building/ access an area or something of a similar nature. Did you read the thread? Another previous answer: It's "realism" not useful. It is impossible to know the name of a person just by viewing or "studying" his dead body. That just does not happen. Unless that person has an ID. It's all about choices and options. I'm not trying to impose anything. I am suggesting. Amazing idea, u could for posta a bounty for someone at forum :P Hahaha. I thought about that too. Would be great.
