DLC: Does the car only allow one companion?

[Ewokgod]

I've been picking everybody up as I go, thinking that, well, three in the back, one in the passenger seat, maybe one in the trunk. Maybe strap a couple to the roof. :)

Nope, it's a sports car. You can only hold one companion.

Well, that's a surviving-the-apocalypse fail right there. :)

It's not a fail, if your car can only hold one extra person thats just what it is.

If you are planning to survive the collapse of society, having a sports car is a fail. A brick is better for you.

With a brick, you can steal a van :)

And I am not complaining about the game or trolling the devs, this is simply thinking the protagonist is kinda dumb. In the same way that the teens that go to the scary summer camp where all the murders happened in horror movies are dumb.

It works as a game mechanic, thats not the problem. Just accepting the fact that halfway through the game, I learned that the guy was not too bright :)

Well, I'm only 1.6hrs into the train campaign, but given the threats I've encountered so far... I think choosing a really fast vehicle seems like a much smarter choice than a slower one.

Maybe I'll change my mind once I've seen more.

A van needs a crapload of gas and has a lower max speed, Im done arguing

[Ewokgod]

And a muscle-car is fuel-efficient?

If speed and fuel is all you worry about, get a motorbike!

Punisheruuu, I didn't think you guys were arguing. And if it's an argument, it's all on your side that's being pushy. He's right -- a van is better if you're trying to help survivors. A sports car is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥' stupid idea in any situation, since ANY motorized vehicle should be good enough to escape zombies, and a van can store a LOT more supplies than a gas-guzzling, high-maintenance, hard-to-repair sports car.

At first I thought exactly like OP, but this discussion is interesting, so here are what I'm thinking:

- Of course a sport car is not an ideal vehicle.
A motorbike is energy-saving, but so much dangerous, there are also many problem about weather, place to sleep along the road need to deal if choosing this.
A van would be nice for saving people, but if you played this character, you should know that he is definitely not a hero-type, more like an a$$hole in my opinion.

- Anw with the personality of DLC's protagonist, I don't think he prepared and thought carefully for all of this. He said he worked 5 years to afford this car, and seem like its the only thing left at that moment, so I don't think he had another choice beside choosing it.

I really like the idea we can brings more passengers at once, but this is dev's decision, so be it, you just have to play the DLC 12 times to complete it

[Ewokgod]

I did say in an earlier post that the choice of one passenger at a time was a valid one for the game, and when I say "valid" I mean "appropriate for the fact that the devs want the player to be making hard choices", so this whole discussion is more about saving yourself in a crisis.

Even if you are not a friendly type of guy, it has to be van or motorcycle. The bike gives you speed and fuel-efficiency, plus is easier to handle in case highways get blocked.

The big advantage of the van is that you can always carry more fuel and food in the back. Yes, the van is slower, but you save time not having to look for fuel at every stop.

I'm just glad that I dissed the protagonist's vehicle choice. I wanted to say bad stuff about his hair and that would have started a full flame war! :)

I like your pov, agree with some. Feel like we're all prepare for doomsday scenarious already, the van is quite good like you said, very balance, but a sport car for speed is not bad either, basically there is no ideal vehicle in this case, really depend on the situation. Even a bicycle has its own advantage: No fuel needed, easy to fix, very silent, easy to carry and hide. But the best vehicles to survive I can think about are military vehicles. Jeep brand is the thing I really like.

So imo, if that day come, I just grab the thing I have already and go, there is not many choices about vehicle I believe. All depend more on survival skills, example: I got a car, then what? A map and a compass are 2 things will let me come up with true directions. Meh many things to worry about.
