There needs to be a reason not to kill

[BrighTide 2]

It struck me today as I was creeping though electro and came across someone right in front of me doing the same (they hadn't seen me) there is almost NO reason not to just shoot someone as soon as you see them, and several good ones as to why you should.

I think it would be really awesome if there was several distinct advantages to say just yelling "FREEZE" over the mic instead of just popping some dude in the face the instant you see them.

As so how this could be done? The two best options that came to mind was either a karma system, or an npc organisation that hunts bandits.

You're not going to have a very good time here.

Yes, somethings needs to be added so we NEED a human on our side

well

there were 3 times in which encountering a stranger didnt endup in a gunfight (there were axes! no just kidding)

1- saw someone, had some stuff on, let him get close, he stole all my shit from about 15feet across a fence (even the weapon i was holdin, thats when i figured something was off)

2-we both didnt have weapons

3-the guy had the advantage (holdign an m16 on a closed space) and i figured it made sense to comply, he then turned his back on me a few times (inside a market) but i felt i should honor the agreement, although i wouldve liked to get his m16 (had a couple, hard ot come by with enough ammo and liked the burst precision).

I really dislike the fact that someone close enough can rob me blind without me getting a hint of whats happening, otherwise i think tactical superiority and saying "stop, dont turn around or ill kill you, drop your weapon and ill let you leave" is enough. could also add:

"you have 20 seconds to comply" :D

This game is not based around you or what is convenient to you, its a simulator not a game of WoW either adjust to it or quit.

Many times you don't NEED to kill them. I often spare people who are unarmed or only with an axe. One time I even saved an unarmed guy in a barn who was surrounded by zombies. He said "thank you" over the mic, I gave him my sidearm and he ran away. I felt like I had just been morally superior to everyone else lol

There doesn't need a reason to do anything. This game is a sandbox survival game. You can do whatever you please. If you don't wanna kill me? Then don't. If you die to another player, don't cry about it. That's how he wants to play. Just adapt to it.

Today i was in Cherno on a Church waiting for my gf and another friend of mine to go meet up with me there and some random guy just ran inside.. i said hello on mic and he wrote friendly.. they he wrote that he "just got killed.. had a ghillie suit" blablabla.. and just ran away xD

So yeah.. you never know what's gonna happen.. just stay alert all the time...
