cigarettes?

Recommended Posts

perhaps adding smokes to the loot would be a good idea, no one cares about deining of cancer in this sorta situation, and could provide a usefull boost like a temporary stim to health. or could take away hunger for a little while?

I dunno what you guys think?

For a game that tries to follow the "realistic" route...I don't think lighting one up when your hungry or hurt to counter those effects makes a whole lot of sense.

Realistically I think smokes would cure the shakes a lot better than painkillers (for me at least). But I vote no, as a smoker trying to quit the last thing I need is a video game reminding me how badly I want a cigarette.

The only supposed upside to adding cigarettes would be an item that takes the tool slot that stops the shakes like painkillers but gives you a negative of some sort either through blood loss or a new status effect.

Average survival time : 30 minutes. Playing this game is a death sentence for your character, why's smoking gotta add a negative effect? :D

Also, you can find cigarettes laying around as background items around the game (even by the hospital), so there's a model of them somewhere.

Might be used to clear pain shakes or panic attacks from close zombie encounters.

Then you've never been a smoker. I smoked for 10 years. Hungry? Nothing to eat. Light one up. It is realistic.

I know less than socrates, but I dont believe youve ever been really hungry.

Cigarettes would be awesome. Just for the visuals of people smoking. Maybe you should have a coolness meter on the hud? We all imagine to be these super-badasses when the zombie apocalypse (finally) comes, so we would have to need to compensate...

Maybe they could make you invincable?

yer to the person that says smoking doesnt curb hunger, well thats just wrong cause it does, i smoked 40 a day for just over 2 years and i tell you that i was a ton skinner then than i am now lol, all though to be fair im sure giving up smokes caused some of the weight gane, either way, smokes curb apitite and could also cure the shakes too, for mabye 30 mins or something, would be a cool feature

So you can smoke the weight off, never heard of that before.

How are you exactly alive at the moment however?

what do you mean? 40 a day for 2 years is nothing, my dad smoked 60 a day for over 20 years, and is still kicking, you ovbiously dont know anything about smoking and what it does to your body, its slow working.... and yes it does help you control and loose weight, google it if you dont believe me

ohh btw nicotene is a stimulant, but im sure you already know that :)

Admittedly I don't smoke, some of my family members do, but not that much, right now im having a hard time figuring out if you smoke them one after another in short time then stop, or spread them evenly throughout the day.

Though I think yes cigarettes would work ingame to get rid of shakes, but supposedly be negative to your character one way or another, would also need to be able to put an ammo count on them, and be in the tool slot.

when i smoked 40 a day it was spread throughout the hole day, admitingly a majority of the days it was 20-30, but alot of the time going out late to clubs, pubs and other watering holes i could smoke easly 40

Cigarettes could easily become a player-made currency if they're common enough.

I very much like the idea.

Yay, Winny Blues. Could i keep them under the shoulder of my shirt. Sorry, Aussie thing.

Seriously though, they could calm you down, but since they are addictive you would have to keep finding more.

Cigarettes

Toolbelt Item

Requires Matches to light them up

Maybe as an added feature, they make you cough a lot at first; but as you get more used to them they make you cough less and less. Also, anyone within about 10 feet of you who doesn't smoke will cough, so if you're raiding a city with someone, you won't wanna smoke near them lest they attract zeds. After a while though, your character will get addicted to them and eventually start to get the shakes, similar to the pain status, except that you need a cigarette to get rid of it. Oh, and the more or less that you smoke, the more or less that you'll get the shakes. If you go too long without smoking, your food meter will start to drain faster, and the shakes will continue. As for when the shakes start, it'll go by the average time between the last 10 or so cigarettes you smoked, so getting your character to quit could take a while of weening.

Another thing they could do could is make it so that you can't just find cigarettes and matches to be good forever. Maybe matches and cigarettes are limited, you find a random number of either, and your toolbelt will let you hold up to a certain number of them. Maybe as many as 20 cigs and up to 50 matches?

it should add addiction, so you have to keep looting cigs lol just like ya have to keep up your food/water. But it should prevent you from passing out.

Not a bad idea, I really want this to be a more negative thing than positive though... Maybe it stops shakes and stops your food meter depleting for 5 minutes (someone else's idea, just changed the time) but it only works two or three in a row then the food meter will start again.

Cigarettes could easily become a player-made currency if they're common enough.

I very much like the idea.

I'm sorry, trading for them isn't a bad idea (especially with an addiction meter) but I'm hoping the currency is bullets. The variety and usefulness far surpasses cigarettes.
