Sad -- What Do I Do?

[Captain Saunders]

I've been down the sad road before.... not too long before they are depressed and then broken. How do I avoid this?

I stole some supplies from a group.... certainly not much considering everything I left behind.... but it's as though I stabbed a baby and ate it's face in front ofa mother... I didn't. I took a can of tuna (or whatever).

So, what do you do to make them not sad?

I've never been able to bring them back.

Thanks.

To "cure" the sadness you can try the following things...

... make a radio and let them listen to some music
... craft a guitar and play it
... Have other characters talk to the depressed people (an icon appears above them you can click)
... Giving it time.
... Drowning their sorrows in drink (expensive)

Generally though you should try to avoid murder and theft - Bandits (the people who will attack you on sight) tend to not cause sadness though. They are a threat to everyone living here.

The looters in the Supermarket are friendly - They let you loot alongside them. Killing these folks are going to cause sadness. They were just trying to get by just as you.
