Finding Clues

[Exile1 4]

So i was thinking that it would be awesome that u could find clues about what happend in chernarus or maybe what happend in a specific area telling a story. U could find like pictures of familys or newspapers saying stuff like weird new disease sweeps the country side and then another one saying reports of people attacking each other. Maybe a diary of somebody or drawings in school buildings medical logs in hospitals etc. Bassiclly stuf u could read or visual stuff that if pieced together could tell a story. If u pick up a walkie talkie and start scanning the channels u could hear an emercency broadcast on a loop.

 

Another example of the top of my head: u could walk into a house where somebody hung himself in the kitchen, at the table is his wife with an empty pill bottle in front of her and a suicide note. and then u would go into the bedroom and u would find the children something really creepy like that :P

 

Let me know what u people would think of something like that. For me it would add a lot of horror into the game.

Agreed. Houses and things seem a little bland at the moment - however it's alpha, so I don't expect much.

That's a good idea. I like easter eggs in game.

Maybe this idea will lead the DayZ Developers make a achievement feature, or collection items system.

This is a great idea. Since the game is server based, there isn't one spawn zone so you can't go through a story phase or anything. Its always much nicer to discover on your own. The dead girl thing can't be done though. Ever noticed you never see dead children in any game although bodies are piled up on the floor? In major games there is usually no reference to children and when there are it is quiet implicit. You often see children's drawings or things like that but their disappearance is a mystery. Finally in the games where they are present, they cannot be killed. Its considered immoral to show or allow things like this. The steam trailer of the game was censored just for the suicide at the end.

good idea there would be letters where it tells where is good loot too like when you discover the location there would be lots of zombies surrounding some body and there is good stuff.

OK :D I'm just posting...

Serious here, they should make this come true, hidden stories in a server based game: IT'S A GREAT IDEA ;)

Players can unlock themself DayZ's stories, like how the island got infected... I think they should make...hundred of clues and diffirent stories:D .Player can spend months to unlock all.

would love that, maybe you can loot the dead bodies? like you can check the pockets of the guy that hang himself and find a picture of his family and some revolver ammo

Yeah cool idea will give the game some added immersion.
