Cannibalism

[ghost_kage 5]

Hey, I'm brand new to the game/forums but I just had an idea. I was recently reading the Walking Dead comics, and at one point the group runs into a gang of cannibals that hunt humans instead of animals. I think this could be a cool/disturbing thing to add to the game. Considering whats been done I don't think it would be too hard to impliment in some way. Could give like negatives to it, like it doesnt feed you as much, or you may get sick or something. Not saying I want to be a cannibal, but I thought it was a realistic thing they had in the comic books, and it could give players another reason to fear survivors. Thoughts anyone?

Players already fear others already just from the pvp alone. I'm not expecting an addon like this anytime in the future sounds interesting though..

Well you could balance it in a way so that if someone were to get a taste of human flesh, other foods does nothing to still your hunger. So that if choosing to play thig RPG as a cannibal, it will be alot harder?:)

This could work, how about when you eat another human it just lowers your humanity like if you kill another player?

The thing is, if it were to follow realistic steps, you wouldn't last long.

Brain solidifying for the win!

Wonder how they'd portray that in ArmA!

Haha, should have remembered that from The Book of Eli. I suppose they could make it to where you shake when you try and aim? Hah, probably wouldn't work. They could still throw it in without the brain solidifying though =P

If you read the wiki that disease is not restricted or directly related to eating human flesh but rather a sort of infectious disease that was passed to many via the consumption of human flesh, i.e. they ate the wrong dude!
