Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven, Part 4 Public Beta - updated 7/27/2025, 910,000+ words

I wouldn’t say wasting. Depends on what you like. I wouldn’t count on her being faithful, but if you’re into sharing, she might be your kind of girl. I play my runs monogamously. Polyamory isn’t my bag. No judgements, just not for me. I’ll recommend this, be in a relationship with another RO, and converse with her after you notice her and Brody being a couple. After she hits on you, ask isn’t she with Brody. If you wouldn’t take issue with your RO behaving like that with another person. Go for it.

Haylee, Jude has an identical twin named Jude. Even if you kill the first Jude, you can still recruit him, if you rescue him from Cruz’s museum psychos. Speaking personally, I like Jude once he’s recruited. He can be befriended, and is a soldier, excellent on camp guard, and during the Silverthorne raid, if you decide to snipe them during the horde rushing their camp.

Also like Missy much less in the beta. I get why she’s that way from a narrative standpoint, but she’s definitely not so cute to me anymore.

You can get with her before she ends up with Brody though.

Who’s that again lol been a while since I played.

You can, and maybe she’d be more faithful to you, but I have doubts. Polyamory does seem to be her bag. To each their own on that one. For me, Maddie is my ride or die. Which is why I intend to peel Benton apart with a pair of pliers, a ball peen hammer, and a blowtorch. You don’t talk to Maddie like that.

Missy is Anders’ daughter. She can join your group with her father and Monica at the end of part 3.

So far she hasn’t been interested in Brody at all tbh. She’s been focusing on my MC mainly.

Brody doesn’t appear to know that Bailey wanted you either. Just saying. Best of luck to you boss. Let me know how it works out :slight_smile: I enjoy hearing about the paths I’ll probably never take. I set out to play a different run, and I’m like eff it, just play another teen run LOL Maddie is sweet, but also incredibly ruthless. That would be the girl I want in the zombie apocalypse

I don’t blame Jillian, it’s not her fault she’s pregnant, but in the hierarchy of potential problems during the zombie apocalypse, something that’s going to cry every 2-4 hours, sometimes inconsolably, is pretty effing high. Add to that, Jillian’s probably not going to be a great mother, given her borderline sociopathy. She was a con artist, who clearly had no problem robbing children, even when it could potentially mean their deaths. I’m not throwing rocks on that one, my MCs tend towards borderline sociopathic behavior. I killed Finn, because eff letting that POS rob my group. Killed Cowboy because I wanted his M4 and uniform. Killed Cruz, and let the museum group be wiped out. Killed many Silverthornes (even to the point where I believe my MC remarked that he didn’t think the camp would survive. However, I made those choices to protect my group, and to keep them from having to do that horrible shyte (except the Silverthorne thing, because I took people who had little issue with killing, in this OFC Maddie for the win). I’d do anything for my group, but I wouldn’t be able to countenance a persistent risk posed from one member, that could kill the whole group. If the baby’s a problem, the baby has to go.

Patrick, I hope this isn’t the case, as the pregnancy arc starts like 3 weeks after you meet Jillian. It really wouldn’t make sense from a timeline sense for it to be yours. Also, I just have to ask, who’s doing the paternity test? I guess it would be possible if you have the infirmary and science lab, but would that really be a good use of resources? And ultimately, would it really matter if it’s biologically yours? If you’re in a relationship with Jillian, and you’re committed to raising the baby, it’s yours, regardless of paternity. Just saying.

I had read this. Ultimately, Jim as the writer, is god in ZE. I was just expressing my (ultimately invalid) opinion of the logic of the situation. I’m not intending this statement with a confrontational tone (I hate that text doesn’t convey tone, and worry I might come off as an A hole)

Subquery: How uber would Maddie and MCs kid be? Probably end up apex predator of Colorado IMHO. Either Carl Grimes (comics) level, or Clementine… LOL

Nah no worries, I just thought you didn’t know. And kids with Maddie would be op especially if they took account of your stats.

At that point The child would be more dangerous than the entirety of the virus

While I don’t have a kill list (except for Benton), I do have a hierarchy of value that applies to my group, and Jillian is just on the bottom of the list (though Kevin is a close second). I’m still curious as to how you capture Benton, he and I still need to have words, so we can iron out our differences. I intend to bring a tire iron, and a clothing iron to that discussion. Anyone know how I can make this happen?

Their kid will probably the most kicka** person on the planet. I hope their are future games where we can have more Family oriented and pregnant MC in this zombie filled world. I just think that it would be so cool. I am a big fan of the last of us and to have kids or family can have alot more wholesome moments plus i just like the thought of teaching a new generation to survive in a new world like in the walking dead with carl. I know it is not for everyone but that is just my opinion

The nephew kind of fills that role for me, there’s room in my group for kids. Babies would be a big problem, the only way I can see Jillian’s kid making it, is if Kevin allowed her in the house (or I kill Kevin if he can’t let go of Madison), and we somehow soundproof the place. Even then, I really think she’ll be a shyte parent, and I’ve got 25 or so other humans I’m responsible for. If there’s a Maddie pregnancy arc, then I’ll be interested in raising a kid. I’m definitely not interested in raising a minimally useful, highly untrustworthy group member’s kid. Hopefully giving Jillian the birth control pills help, but if it’s Lyle’s, she’s been pregnant since at least day 1, and birth control pills won’t stop the fetus gestating. I definitely like the dramatic idea of a pregnant group member, but my inner Han is saying “I’ve got a bad feeling about this…”

Seems like we play characters with extremely similar personalities

Being a high functioning sociopath is a survival trait in the zombie apocalypse. :stuck_out_tongue: Always on the look out to improve my group’s situation. Always ready to protect them from outsiders. Always willing to sacrifice the weak, to save the strong, when it becomes necessary.

It is his kid
