Trophies (kind of, pictures inside)

[Julianwop (DayZ) 14]

Hi guys, I have one last idea I just wanted to share with you all.

 

I have seen in the games files the models of both a Wolf and a Bear.

 

And it got me thinking; How about if we were able to skin them and actually wear their pelts as a cloak or a hood?

Or have them as a rug in your base, or hanging on the walls.

(for when basebuilding gets implemented, or you want to decorate a house)

 

 

I mean, if you've actually survived a close encounter with a bear or wolf,

it would be nice to able to atleast have a throphy of sorts from the encounter, right?

A survivors badge of honor if you will, since when you live to tell the tale,

why not be able to actually prove it instead of just bragging about it? 

 

 

 

Something like this

 

This would be awesome for a hermit-like playstyle, combined with the improvised leather armor.

 

 

 

 

And now to the darker side of things.....

We already have the possibility to kill and skin humans,

but, what if when skinned, we could keep the skulls or heads of the players,

combine them with the long sticks, and have heads on spikes?

I know, I know, it's a bit morbid..

But it wouldn't really be any worse than what is already in the game, 

cannibalism, skinning of humans, piles of rotten dead bodies, guts, torture, brutal executions, etc. 

I mean, this is an 18+ / X or R-rated(whichever rating scale your country uses) game already, right? 

 

Imagine the roleplay possibilities as a cannibal or psycho, it would be so thrilling. 

Just picture this... 

You're running through the woods, it's nighttime, apart from the dim light cast by the torch you're carrying it's pitch black. 
You think you see something up ahead in the darkness, when you get closer you can barely make out the shape of a base or a house, something.

then suddenly they emerge from the dark, their rotting dead faces send a piercing sensation of fear throughout your body,

as you realize you've walked straight into a cannibals lair. 

 

A shot is heard nearby, you panic and run, another shot goes off, then..

You are dead...

 

 

WHAT A WAY TO DIE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN! I wouldn't even be mad, I'd be happy to go like that. 

Or just simple things like coming into a random house, or down a random street, to find a severed head lying there along with some guts.

If that is not story worthy, then I don't know what is. 

Please, let's create a horror experience like no other survival game have done before.

Okay but only if I can make lampshades out of human skin; I have to light my flesh castle somehow.

I'd like to pre-order one Jeremiah Johnson brown bear hood.

I like scalps. Lightweight, easy to make, and much less effort to collect opposed to having to saw off someones skull.

 

Imagine there was a clan where, in order to move up in rank, you had to present the scalps of worthy opponents?

You..I like you.

I'd imagine a couple of chops with an axe should do it though. But the hacksaw, machete and sword would also do the trick. 

But sure, why not scalps aswell!
