DampSquib: I burnt a bunch of chr just finding the chr + trait set i liked...
Many of the neg traits really don't make the game any harder i've found.
Carpenter is a solid choice, currently playing as a lumberjack, love me the axe.
Still getting used to the vehicles myself, so used to hoofing it..
Thinking about it, i don't remember ever trying the challenges, stuck to survival mode/sandbox.
Will have to give them a try......
Sounds like this run is going well, wish you luck with it.
Thanks, indeed it's going very well and it would be even better if only my previous "base of operations" wasn't overrun by Zs. It's a shame because it was a nice and tidy place and i thought i was safe because it was fully barricaded. I got ambushed when i was sleeping, had to fire the pistol and then i had to leave the place.
The vehicles are great, i love the level of detail they put into them and, naturally, they're quite indispensable when it comes to exploration, that is IF you remember where you parked them (yeah, yeah, that's me...).
As for the challenges, the one in the mall looks great but my PC couldn't run it well: it started with a quite low framerate, then froze completely. I'll have to tweak the options later and see if there is any improvement. Cheers!
