I blame these guys for this, of course. Sigh, shouldn't have watched that clip.

So when they are mentally 100%, they speak more positively, but when they are mentally not coping then they will speak more negatively? They already have negative comments when very injured or physically going terribly - which they could also extend on, especially depending on what ails your character. Is s/he in a lot of pain? They could certainly express this more, which we humans tend to do in real life when in a lot of pain. Maybe the crazier your character gets, he could randomly burst out laughing at the worst possible moment (probably high-pitched or something like that) and could give away his location to nearby threats or start muttering nonsensical phrases under his breath.

Hmm...How likely is it that people go to a state of mad laughter during survival situations when their mental state is poorly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once went into a state of mad laughter while hiking in a thunderstorm and falling down an embankment that had its steps washed out Conversely, I may have been exhausted and soaking wet (we'd been hiking in the rain about 4 hours at that point) but it definitely wasn't a survival situation.

CalNieDaGtarGuy Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Well, laughing would be one, maybe breaking down and crying, screaming, or hyperventilating could be some options. I figure if something traumatic happens, it would cue in one of these, but it would especially be unique if you could choose "characters" like the roadmap suggests.

Jolan Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'd be ok with more variety, but I'd hate to have my survivor go back into buttercup mode. There was a time after one of the updates when the comentary was endless. I also have to say I prefer the female survivor to the male survivor on vocalization. I find her comments slightly more amusing. "Whew, right on" in a slightly sarcastic tone is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

togg Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 At the moment I have one simple idea to solve the problem of finding the audio feedbacks when freezing etc boring or out of touch with your playstyle. Make them ironics from time to time. I get that the character is actually dying but think about it. Let's say after X days of survival your character is more used to take hits in order to do things. So she/he approach even strong difficulties with a different mindset. She know she is dying but instead of being scared she laugh between her teeth about it. It could pop up a percentage of times. The text something like: "The sound of my stomach will keep wolves at bay." "I'm freezing but not as much as that big bear" (if she killed one) etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized after the first 100 hours that I had nicknamed my character "Princess." As in "shut up, Princess, you'll be fine," or "Deal with it Princess, you can sleep when you're dead."

Rico78 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ha! I say to my character, when he states he's freezing: "don't be a *****!" Back on topic, I founded myself repeating Will's phrases instead. Precisely when I had some walks in town at -20°C: "I feel so cold... I'm warming up again.."

oh god a wolf Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 at first i thought that more vocalizations were a good idea but after a while i thought "wouldn't it be kind of annoying to have your character always talking". although i would be okay with him/her having more vocalizations as long you have the ability to tone down the amount of times they talk.

Rico78 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I kind of agree with you anyway, but I'm conflicted. A lonely person would feel the need to speak, more often than necessary probably. In the movie "Cast Away" we've seen Tom Hanks creating a fictional character made with a ball just to interact with something (that turned to be "someone"), because I think communication it's a human need. That said, I think it's perfect how it is now after all. I just enjoy the noise of my boot on the snow, the sound of the wind, the beautiful and magic musics coming up when you don't expect them, the silence surrounding me.
