[UPDATE: Grab your people-sized dinner plates, because this has been confirmed!]
Do you often find yourself hungrily observing your fellow man, possibly while wondering what they’d taste like doused with herbs and spices and spit-roasted on an open fire? Would you like a way to relieve yourself of these cravings without ending up in jail? If you answered yes to both of those questions, please turn yourself into your local authority. But before you do the right thing and remove yourself from the general populace, keep reading, because this is right up your alley.
Several sites and a handful of YouTube videos are reporting that the open-world survival game DayZ will be getting a cannibalism mechanic. It’s not confirmed, but if this is true, I can only imagine what the game’s creepier players will do with it if/when it makes its way into the official build.
If this is real, it could make for an interesting, albeit incredibly creepy, gaming experience.
Much like real-world cannibalism, eating players in DayZ could end up hurting you more than it helps. It sounds like consuming flesh that isn’t cooked properly could lead to a degenerative neurological disorder that essentially makes your character go insane.
What do you think? Is this a feature you’ve been hungering for, or is it just weird?
