Add Fishing?

[speca 193]

I think it would be a nice feature to add in, fishing would add more realism into the game because the fish cannot be eaten by the zombies and would be a realistic aproach for food, it would also add a bigger use for the fishing boats and normal boats, the further you go out the bigger the catch. Post what you think of this idea, thanks fellas.

Good idea, but it would suck getting caught by a zed or bandit.

Mmm, it could have a fishing action as well to make you vulnerable

Fisherman: Wooh, fish!

Pizza_dude: Wooh, five dollar pizza!

Dog_Bitch: Wooh, Do-*SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT*

DayZ_Bandit: Wooh, dead things.

Lol, it would make a boat a prized vehicle wouldn't it? Could get out of snipers range and/or hide behind islands :)

I would like to see something like this it would be nice and you are right it would add more uses for fishing boats.

I'd like to see this in stand-alone and it would be good to have a large ocean with numerous islands.

Sounds nice, but i don't think they will be able to implement it in this engine.

It's funny, I was talking to my friend earlier about how this should be put in. I am all for this idea. Maybe give us a fishing pole that is useable only near water, and gives you a "Raw Fish" item. Can be cooked in the same way as Raw Meat.

Chance of fish in small lake: 15%

Chance of fish in large lake: 25%

Chance of fish on ocean shoreline: 40%

Chance of fish out on a boat: 75%

Does that sound good? Would require you to fish multiple times to get a fish.

You know, this game is all about risk. If you do something as valuable as fishing would be, to actual get some food, you have to have that risk added to it. I really like this idea, but I'm unsure if they'd be able to add it to the mod. Maybe to the standalone.

I think rocket and bohemia are doing this on standalone!
