No smoking

edited June 2012 in The Walking Dead
Now then, I have noticed that no character smokes in this game.

If I was involved in such a situation I would be chain smoking!

Although perhaps the zombies would be able to detect the smoke.

Now, I am not a newbie but this is my first post on this forum.

I enjoy the game while I am smoking and having a coffee.

You may think it a bit odd but I am 82 years old so I am Non pc on my pc!

Having completed two versions now looking forward to using my life long experience as we progress.

Regards to all

    Nah, in the comics nobody smokes either. I think it's for survival reasons. The Walkers would smell it.

    In fact I think the smokers were the first in being eated.

    Ya, the people who smoke got eaten when they went out to have a smoke.

    I think the only character ingame that qualify as a smoker is Larry.

    No, it is because they are out, they look for smokes in one of the comics.

    As someone who used to smoke a month ago. It was probably one of the first things scavenged during the apocalypse. So they're might not be any and if there are..they will be like gold.

    Being a smoker I know that in a zombapocalypse my cardio would not be as good as the next mans. I would probably be caught and eaten while the non smokers gain them extra few feet. Stoners would probably be first to go too.

    Also a smoker, i think you are right, we would be pretty high up on the list of the first to go, however, you must remember, you dont have to be faster than the zombies, just faster than one of your friends... And if youre not faster than any of your friends, trip someone up.

    Aaaaargh! The images!

    Anyways. Only Kenny gets to brown bag Katjaa. And they need to add that to the story line. Not like people stop having sex because there is a zombie apocalypse.

    One thing to bear in mind is that everyone smokes when the zombie apocalypse happens. A pack of smokes might as well be cheap booze at a high school party, used and disposed of at an alarming rate.

    About Sex & Smokes and zombies though, The Walking Dead zombies are attracted to smells btw.

    Welcome, sir! I'm glad that a 82 years old person uses a computer and play videogames. Amazing!

    Yeah i have to agree junkies (that includes stoners and alcoholics) would be the first to go, people wouldn't have any choice to give up! Mwahahaha If I was Lee, I'd be protecting my crop forget Clem, the energy bars would go as plantfood :p...maybe then I'd go to a nuclear plant, mix some radioactive waste in with the plant...boom plants vs zombies, we re sorted from then on! I hope I'm playing games at 82, muy impressivo

    Well I mean walking dead zombies are more of the old school slow zombies not the fast as hell Dawn of the Dead Zombies. To get cigs you would have to find a tobacco warehouse cause most gas stations would be the first things looted. But me personally I'd be throwing in lippers left and right.
  • edited June 2012
    also cigs can be used for currency instead of money ?

    like they do in prisons

    bottle caps seem a bit stupid to me...

    That only works if they are still of any worth to someone. But in the zombie apocalypse, superfluous addictions like cigarettes are swept away. :)

    Actually, I think its really something that doesn't need to be shown in game to think it is happening. I mean really, that would be too 80s slasher flick for a girl to be moaning too loud and attract the walkers. Leave the morality lesson at home tyvm.

    Yeah, they don't smoke in the comic cause all the smokes are gone! One of the first things people grabbed when raiding stores... little did they know those cans of food would be far more precious.
  • edited June 2012
    I'm surprised nobody has noted that smoke is one of the more difficult things to pull off visually in a video game. The Sam & Max series tends to use the "tall, warping smoke texture" trick, which works fine for those games. Techland's Dead Island has one character smoking, and while the smoke itself looks okay, the way the particle system spreads the little chunks of smoke out makes it look like the guy is blowing remarkably consistent but generally lousy smoke rings.

    In the comics Sgt.Abraham smokes, but can never find cigeretts. Unless they gow their own tocbacco, during the first few weeks of the apacalpypse, thats one of the first thing to get stolen/looted/scavanged. As for the smoking thing, I don't think zombies smell it, but people do, just as well at night, you have a hunter or a trained soldier, we can spot the cigarett butt from a few hundred meters away, just as well, if you haven't smelt them in a while, you can smell them better and fearther from your postion, so it gives you away to people you might not want to encounter.

    something like that, but when in a 3rd world/apacalypse, people go back to the barter system, and cigaretts would be way up there like alcohol, ammo, and food. Hell, if you found an old grain processor, you could make moonshine and use that to more friendly settlement/groups of survivors and get pretty much what ever they would be willing to part with. Just like a gunsmith, people would probably die to keep him alive just because how useful he can be.
    List of people to have for zombie apacalpyse:
    1)gunsmith (or Special forces weapon specialist)
    2)Anyone with truamatic injury training (Combat medic or 18D (combat medic/special forces medic would be perfered since they are taught to use the enviroment to treat any number of wounds) or a doctor (perferably surgen/truama care....EENT doctor would be useless, so would a physical therapist). =p
    3)Engineer/Mechanic or both. (military engineers know how to build makeshift settings and mechanics well...fix your vehicle)
    4) hunter/farmer gotta get food somehow, cans of beans don't magically appear.
    4)Highly trained weapon specialist/hunter. gotta kill other people from long distance.
    5)Explosives expert, even if he was EOD and disarmed the bombs, he can make them....IED are amazing are large groups of idiots and zombies.
    6)Generator tech or someone with the know how to fix/make electronics that don't need electricity to run them selves. Never know when you can make a gadget that could run off of batteries that would be amazing.
    7) Someone who knows how to make improvised ammo, the gunsmith might not know how to make ammo....best bet is to find someone smart enough to be able to make rounds...even if they are junk rounds made from scrap metal...5 rounds are better than none.
    8)Smart people....because idiots get you killed.....
    9) Chuck norris....because, you don't need any of the above if you have him.

    Now that being said...all the people with skills die at the beginning of the apacalypse because of stupid people.
    All military....errr most military will die because the government full of stupid people will send them to their deaths trying to take back cities or defend them.

    Feel free to add to this list. =]

    :)

    82 year old playing games? Shogun 2 as well, not just a simple one like TWD. Also, I think if he WAS 82 years old he'd know how to spell retired. Not ritired as he spelled it on his profile.

    Are we just talking about smoking or smoking and sex cause Lily X Carley hmm

    Also I think it be interesting if Carley or another woman ended up pregnant before Episode 5

    I'm pretty sure that Larry's daughter is going to be a possible 'Love interest' so maybe they'll be some rodeo style boom-shaka-laka going on there? She only thinks I'm even halfway decent in one of my games so we'll see.

    I'm holding out hope on a romp with the reporter. She's distraught and lonely, can't be that hard right?

    T-Dog smokes in the show,

    Being a smoker in a world full of SLOW zombies wouldn't matter but if were talking 28 days later zombies then that's a different story..
  • edited June 2012
    Whenever I think zombapocalypse I always think slow zombies. 28 days zombies are just no fun. :D

    Hi iMuzzaa,
    Thanks for pointing out my typo error.
    Smoking must have fuddled me somewhat.

    I don't think anyone would be thinking of smoking during a Zombie Apocalypse so I don't think anyone would be thinking of lighting up plus the smell might attract the zombies to your camp.

    Meh. They'll probably have a chain smoker later on who dies because his lungs are too damaged or something.

    Get some smokes, when you have to lead zombis away light them up and run from them? zombies go over there to look/smell while you nip in the gap and get/go to where you want more safely maybe?
