*SPOILER*? What happens to the Knife from Hobbs??

[Elricwulf]

If you choose to pull the knife out of Hobbs, where does it go?? Why wouldn't you get a knife from that? Doesn't make sense that it would just disappear. I searched my inventory, but no new knife tool/weapons.. Does it become scrap? Do you supposedly give it back to Hobbs. A major factor in the choice to pull the knife from Hobbs was to get a knife.. Lol If I thought the game would just give it back to him, I'd have chosen to insert it into a new spot.

It disappears. You do not get to keep it.

Hint: Hobbs is dead either way, You pus, he-dies right away. You pull, he is going to bleed out anyway. No surgeons on GBI...

Thanks, I figured he was a goner either way (realistically), with no surgical intervention or infection control. Of course, it's a game, and limited to the interpretation of the game designers... but in a field situation, pulling a knife out of someone's gut with no other life-saving interventions is not really doing them any favors -in fact, it would often cause more blood loss.

In a medical training sense, medical ethics dictate to try and safe a patients life once they come into your care, however, in war/survival situation, you have to make triage decisions to preserve and aquire resources for members of your team.. I was just hoping I'd get the knife afterwards, and leaving Hobbs to his fate, whatever the case may be..
In the game's context, I imagine it's one of those moral dilemmas, based on good/bad choices, i.e. "there are 2 wolves that battle in each of us, good and evil; which one wins? The one you feed.."

Thanks for moving this. I didn't realize there was a separate Story Mode Spoiler section. Kinda new to the game and the Forum layout was a little different than the format I'm used to with the Subforum section on the side instead of on a main page.

The fact that you cannot keep the knife (an important survival tool in a freakin' survival game) is pretty ridiculous on its face.

Pretty piss poor decision on the development's part. If they were worried about balance, they could've lowered its durability drastically (~10% or so).

Instead, they chose to do something silly. Sometimes, I wonder what goes on in a person's head to lead to such illogical, lazy decisions.
