Im curious to see how you all tailor the game to suit you. I like having an action packed campaign with a lot more arcady-ness than what was probably intended. I play with Insane Zombie pop, normal zombie speed, strength, hearing etc, but no transmission, migration and respawn. I usually set electricity and water to off, one month after the apocalypse with x3 skill gain.
I like making a story where like the Knox Event was contained, and now soldiers are entering the zone to clean up. You were part of the clean up crew, but your helo goes down and you have to start clearing the zone on your own.
How do you all play?
Edit: OH i also play with Helicopter event sometimes and use the enhanced helicopter event mod (one of the few mods I use.) Sure it calls all the zombies, but that FEMA aid is worth it. Plus it makes me feel less lonely knowing someone is out there, even if they are an asshole.
I like a lonely roleplay. Like someone else said, I like to be a nomad. I play with a lot of mods (too many to list/count), and a couple that go hand-in-hand and are imo essential for RP or other loot goblins are the battle bus mod, and the RV interiors mod. I've yet to actually figure out how to properly modify the vehicles or even repair any, but I like the option of being able to absolutely trick out a school bus into a mobile zombie killing fortress.
I also have a lot of mods that add new fun gear and random objects to collect, like one that adds Pokemon merch (cards, plushies, binders, lunchboxes, figurines, etc.), another that adds tons of diecast cars you can collect and place, and a couple that add other little toy or trinket objects so I can satisfy my hoarder cravings.
And still I have more kids that add new map locations like Raven Creek (I think, it's been a hot minute since I've played), and Xonic's Mega Mall. There's also other mods I have that add new zombie characters you can find and kill in the world.
