Can we boxe zombies?

[Rainy]

I really don't understand why we can only push zombies with our bare hands and yet we can stop on them. I asked for an RKO mod and nobody was interested in making it, understandable, but can we at least boxe zombies as you can punch your enemies in Skyrim? Maybe put that the character get easily tired but let me punch this zombie heads

I'd be very leery of anything that makes unarmed combat even more powerful. The main advantage that Short Blunt and Short Blade have over unarmed is that they can (albeit inefficiently) inflict damage on standing zombies, allowing you to "train" small hordes and whittle them down, while unarmed combat stops being useful once you are dealing with more than three zombies (and can't properly "juggle" them to get off stomps). If the player had access to unarmed attacks that did the same thing, that makes short weapons like the Club Hammers and Wooden Mallets less valuable.

Even as-is, I pretty much always have more zombie kills from bare hands than anything else (except maybe cheap, replaceable basic spears), just from luring 1-2 zombies at a time from stealth and stomping them.

I want to high kick zombies. It makes more sense then punching them.

A sparta kick is more realistic but a roundhouse would be cool too.

btw you might like a demo game called zombie u
it lets you roundhouse a zombie just like you wanted :)

Anyone who has ever been in a street fight can tell you that when you punch people in the face there's a very good chance that you will bust a knuckle on their teeth, which in the case of zombies would be a death sentence.

This might be what I was looking for and in the end it should make the game unbalanced at you need to find the weapon to punch zombies, nice

Dude if we cant hit with our bare hands why the hell we can stomp with bare foot

A better question would be 'why are you bare footed?'. The mechanic is implemented to stomp; It doesn't care what you're wearing, but 99.9% of players will have shoes and socks on, since you start with them, and just walking around bare footed causes you injuries. It's reasonable to expect a player definitely will have some kind of footwear and not explicitly code in stomp prevention for not having some. Moreover, You can only stomp on downed and immobile zombies which even if you were barefoot you have a LOT more control in the situation.

For hands it's vice versa though; You don't typically wear gloves. You don't start with gloves. You may not even wear gloves if you have them for aesthetic reasons, and it's downright dumb to punch at a still moving zombie.

It's nitpicking though, since you'll almost never be barefoot except the CDDA challenge, and even then, one zombie kill which you dont need to stomp for and you'll have shoes.

It has happened to me too to be barefoot. I was running away from a hord and the shoes broke, I kept stomping on zombies and I was in pain. In the end I died because I stepped on glass' shards and got infected

It sounds like you made a mistake by not keeping track of the condition of your shoes. I personally always have a spare pair or two just in case and check the condition of all my gear regularly.

theres some cool mods that let you cut leather shoes with scissors for leather strips (and then you can use strips to add padding protection to other items of clothing.. i think my current character has about 50 shoes stashed away for leathers :)

yea its not a bad idea, just like I and others have said (for immersion at least) i would need to wear some protective layer to protect the hands. Boxing gloves, leather scrap gauntlet sure, anything to stop the zombie saliva/blood from mixing with my own.
