I Just Murdered Someone / Should I Have?

[Obsolescence 129]

You were testing out the sights on your newly aquired compound crossbow in a red roofed barn north of Cherno when I crouched-walked up behind you, to my surprise, and shot you in the chest with an AK when you turned around.

I'm not trying to play as a murderer, but when I rounded the corner and saw him, I froze, sitting there questioning what I should do about this situation when you slowly began to turn around. Your shiny crossbow bolt looking in great need of a soft fleshy target to bury itself in. A soft fleshy target like me! With no mic to yell at you and no time to type, I shot you in the chest with 7 rounds of AK, and stole your beans. I am sorry for killing you when it looked like you were new and excited to have a weapon.

When do yall decide to pull the trigger, assuming you are trying to be nice to people? Sure I could have tried to back away and run, but he may well have mortally wounded me, and that doesn't seem like a risk I'm willing to take. How do you handle situations where you come upon someone in close quarters? Shoot first, then try to talk on mic?

I think he wouldn´t hit you with the crossbow if you were running, the aim is pretty awful at least to my experience.

I think you'll find the shoe on the other dead foot soon enough if you don't try and communicate in some way.
