Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven General Discussion (Part 3 beta coming in December)

And to think – Tommy was never supposed to be a major NPC. I added him in after beta testers suggested it.

My plan in Part 3 is also to make Tommy’s emotional state dependent on the PC’s interactions with him. I already track this in hidden stats. Much like the dependent, he will change depending on how life progresses. If survival is hard and stressful for the group, people change.

I’m just really excited for the new content in 2-2 especially the pharmacy mission and what Kelly was doing while Nate and Benji were being killed by infected or rabid coyotes. I’m going to be disappointed in her if she was feeding rabbits or something or worse she was the one that got their attention. (I really do feel bad for her she tries her best but she just seems to end up looking like or being an incompetent butt monkey.)

Oh has anyone had an MC that has had a threesome with Gina and Jillian because I did and I didn’t know you could.

Rachel. Firstly, I love her. Secondly, she’s resourceful, pragmatic and dangerous. Honestly I’d follow her in real life.

Damn. It’ll have to be Woodster. He just feels incredibly real.

Again, it has to be Woody. The way the romance developed captured me. I love every second of it. Well written stuff. Real stellar. A close second would be Rachel simply because she’s the only one who holds off on sex for her own mysterious reasons especially when you are playing as a teen. She’s drawn me in and I just want to explore her. Even if she’s pushing me back.

This is true. I’ve skimmed the games code and I found a hidden variable that focuses on Tommy. (If @JimD won’t say what it is, I won’t either) I’m not sure how it works or what will happen but it is directly influenced by the MC.

It’s hard to say but we can’t rule it out. I think what we can at least influence is what he does after dealing with them. Maybe.

I like those two quite a lot. I also did it. Immensely satisfying I might add. I found out about it when I read a guide someone posted and I was like, “Primary objective, secure threesome. Secondary objective, survive!”

I remember I killed woody in my psycho surgeon playthrough along with Tommy, Rosie, Church and Parker I learned what it felt like to be an absolute piece of shit. It was truly abhorrent I don’t recommend it.

Tommy can be heavily influenced by us. Lol during the beta I was rather demanding of that to poor @JimD I wanted Tommy not be the typical eye candy that is there to romance and woman were just angry he is not bi.

He could suffer a big change to a bitter anger person fill in vengeance. Or struggle to still be the sweet boy. A great multi dimensional character.
I love him and the twins and mostly meh the rest. Well I love Marcus my nephew and of course my kitty

I hate Woddy and Kelly. But all are well made.

Personally, My favorite characters are, Tommy, the twins, Rachel and Rosie now that she’s grown on me.
I like Woody, Dante and Nora. Parker pisses me off especially if he doesn’t like your leadership style because he doesn’t listen to you and says he’ll only do what you ask if Rachel or Jaime ask him to. I just want there to be a dialogue option that says " Hey Parker how does it feel knowing that 2 high school students are more useful and braver than you" or " I’m sorry what do you contribute to the group? oh that’s right NOTHING !!!" At least Kelly is trying and not being petulant because the group isn’t being run her way. Reilly needs to calm down and not be so hot headed you can’t treat every situation like it’s a bank robbery. Jaime’s a good friend but a little skepticism wouldn’t kill him when it comes to dealing with other people.It’s like Kelly said “Jaimie’s a nice guy but can he make the hard decisions?” His optimism is easy to take advantage of.

I honestly really like that Reilly is super hot-headed. It really fits his character and makes it believable, I feel Rachel describes the group perfectly when you ask her at the highway…

Edit: I can’t do “bad” playthroughs, makes me feel like the ultimate douche. My favorite (and closest
to evil playthrough) is my delusional MMA fighter that refuses to use weapons because, “Only weaklings need more than their body to fight.”

Rachel’s analysis of the group is perfect. I do think his romance has the potential to show us a calmer more vulnerable side to him later on and anger is a powerful motivator but his gung-ho cockiness isn’t needed all the time. We get it you’re scared to lose your mother and this façade probably makes you feel good that doesn’t mean you have to be an arrogant douche to us.

I could be wrong but doesn’t a high level of crafting provide some metal early on not to mention construction worker or engineer background ?

I had level 4 crafting so I started with 6 metal parts. I actually ask cause I want to do the true save haven achievement in every playthrough. But after trials and errors. I can get it without any additional metal parts. But thank you for replying to me. :blush:.

I can relate I use college Student because it’s in my age range. I also use the 25 skill points to boost crafting skill, stealth, close combat and scavenging

So if I get into the topic
My fav character are Brody. Because the hot rivalry is unique and he a teenager. He also a caring twin brother and that a win. Also it make more sense my teenager mc to romance Brody. Surprise kiss at the end of parts 2 is wonderful. He also realized when you r scare like if u had fear of height or claustrophobia, he will hold your hand. If you had both he would held it tighter. Though I guess almost every love interest that go to school does that but Idk. Fall for Brody too hard to care.

Second would be Tommy. Whenever the mc hug him, he will return the hug or he would hug mc then let go after few moment. That’s like a charm point for me. He also fragile boy makes me want to protect him. Didnt fail to save him even if I had to throw my secondary hammer weapon which seem to impaled into the zombie head at the nearby tree. Last but not least, Tommy the only person who is okay to be cockblocked by the mc’s nephew. Unlike others such as Brody who leave unsatisfied with the turn of event, Tommy would just smile and the 3 will sleep together hugging each other.

Third is Reilly. Love his mum. Call my teenager and college student mc kid. It would be interesting if romance bloom and he still call my mc kid. It as simple as that. Charm point is kid and mum.

Other than that, there no character that I really dislike other than Silverthornes. Yea Kelly make troubles but people make mistakes. At least she didnt kill, rob and steal.

My evil Dr. isn’t delusional he’s fully aware what he’s doing is wrong he just doesn’t care. He will kill anyone or do anything to be in control let alone survive. He thinks Jamie’s idealism is insufferable and childlike. He considers killing members of the group nothing more than thinning his herd and he will not tolerate or suffer weaklings and is just waiting for an excuse to kill Kelly. Also he sees Keith’s Militia as an opportunity to build his own army one where he will build with or without Keith (probably without) and will kill anyone that doesn’t fall in line.
