_3akat_ 1 Posted April 15, 2014 There are a lot of posts which try to improve books in DayZ. I know it. But let me tell my opinion. So, let's start from idea of a game. It bases on real skills and everything what you do can be made in real life. This is a very basic and simple example: you have a car battery and you need to place it on the place (sorry for bad English) but you don't know how to do it. And you have a book which can help you with this problem. You are starting puting this battery. There will be a mini-game in this example hood opens and your camera angle goes where battery must be. If you have a book it opens in a coner. Than you puting battery by deagging it to the place than you have 2 wires they must be connected observing polarity. If you don,t know how to do it you are trying to find a solve in the book. This is a very easy example it can be harder (how to start engine on a helicopter). What do you think about it ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdizzy 15 Posted April 15, 2014 No, just no. Dean and the rest of the crew made it clear that he doesn't want mini-games or quick-time events. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Jimmy 1631 Posted April 15, 2014 Ok, thanks didn't know it. But how to make books useful ? You can throw a book when the throwing comes :D Also maybe you could burn books. Books are there so you can read them when really bored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qww 287 Posted April 15, 2014 Ok, thanks didn't know it. But how to make books useful ? make them useful by reading them, if you don't want to read in dayz, dont pick up books. i do read books in game.if only i could find another copy of "the trial". i swear its so rare compared to some other books, or im just unlucky.
