The mood of character?

[Nethonink]

Can someone please explain to me how this system works? My character tried to sleep in some kind of a warehouse and all of sudden, he got nervous wreck. Sometime, when I just walking around with no reason he become anxious and on the edge. Is there some kind of situation or trigger that causing these negative moods??

Oh... very very awesum game BTW! :3

Zombie close by? Possibly hypochondriac? Or been attacked, and hurt by zombies recently and as such about to become one?

darkrajin knows his stuff. You get anxious when there are zombies banging on doors or windows or if you're about to get sick, making your character unsure if he might be infected.

The effects and extends of those things will have more meanibg in the future.
Maybe a group of NPCs decides to leave you or lock you away whwn they find out you might be sick, etc

You can smoke cigarettes to fight the anxiety atm. I believe some hot cuppa does also help.

and remember to always keep chocolate on hand for emergency boost to confidence xD

Thanks, i didn't know cigarettes can do that. And yes, maybe he become nervous because there's some zombie near the vicinity. Though I'm pretty sure I already blocked all the door/windows/access so those zombies will not be able to come inside. Guess my character a bit of a wuss, haha.

And there's hypochondriac in this game?! Wow... Is there some kind of trait or something to determine what kind of character I'm making? Or is it something that will always happen at random chances in every play? I'm making my character as a construction worker, without any extra perks/traits, not sure if that related...

[darkrajin]

Erm it is a trait you can choose if you customize your charactor, It is a negetive trait, as such gives extra points to get a positive trait.

What are the debuffs you get from being bad tempered and brooding? does it affect the way you play? (I always pick them cos they seem to have the least bad effects out of the bunch)

[darkrajin]

O'm not really sure, I also often select those two because they seems to give the least problems. I would guess bad tempered would mean you get angry easily, and brooding you take longer to get over it, possibly the emotion would get worse with time rather then better.

But how does the emotion effect you, as the player? do you get worse aim? or do you get better melee damage?

I heard its for interacting with npcs, and it will change a conversasion... but as of now its useless.
As darkajin said, bad tempered will get you angry easily (dang dirty annoying npcs!) Brooding will keep you in a negative mood longer.

So... does this mean I can make "brooding" man and pretend I'm Batman?? This game keeps getting better and better...

One time my character got all bored and depressed so i went into the bathroom and drank 5 bottles of bleach....There should really be a less painful way to kill yourself in this game...

You must have a hell of a digestive system.
