Okay I started another game as a Student. I started with practically nothing and started looting all of the houses around here. After a little bit I found a fire extinguisher and started using it to bash in zombie skulls. I then found a backpack, a purse, and some Cargo pants so I was pretty much set. On the way back to my safehouse a horde of zombies started chasing me, I was in intense pain and extremely close to death. After alot of running (and luck) I came across a large collection of already set traps in the middle of the street. I ran into the center of it and the horde of zombies just walked right into them, most of them were killed from the crossbow traps. I finished off the stragglers and then went around looking for stuff to heal myself with.
A day or so later, after being healed I made a wooden spear (which is an awesome starting melee weapon to make) I came across a guy named Charles. He was friendly so I invited him to join my group, he didn't want to so I offered to give him a wooden axe and a molotov to join. He did, and after a few minutes of walking we came across a screamer. Like the idiot he is he shot at it with his shotgun, alerting a horde to our presence. After dispatching the screamer with my spear, we ran the hell out of there. Then my game crashed, so yeah.
Also, has anyone came across a faction yet? I haven't met any.
