does locking picking become better over time?
early game, I got up to level 3 and found opening locked chests didnt give me better items than any other
also, it should show u that a chest is locked but u have the skill to open it. after getting lockpick 3 I couldnt tell how useful it was because it seemed to make all locked chests just look the same as unlocked ones.
also do you get to unlock doors for unique areas?

The sense of progress is in your equipment which improves significantly throughout the game and skills add a few new abilities etc. I'm pretty sure they scale zombies because they always want them to be a threat which they are in single player. Not scaling would mean you could level above them which is not appropriate for the type of game they wanted to make.
Also, I don't have issues with not being able to use most of the items. Are you talking weapons or the other items? Because the other items are used for crafting and you'll eventually need them. If you've been selling them, you are fucking up right now.

The orange one (I think), I found
In the city when you're going up the stairs to the super market with the punks.
It goes on the island on top of the mountain for craft #666.
The blue and purple are rumored to be
In Alicia's apartment - Moresby and can only be accessed wnen you're doing the quest.
I've heard rumors that they spawn in different locations as some have apparently found them in other places.

Yeah normally I would totally agree with the original poster because you don't get as big a feeling of power as other games like new vegas with "better" scaling. In this case, as a survival horror game, I think its justified.
the scaling also made it easy for them to add the start new character at a specified chapter, which is a great idea for such a long game

Man I'm having the 360 version of this game delivered to me today and I have absolutely no idea what to expect. Opinions in this thread go from one extreme to the other.

Damn, alright thanks for the reply.
The game is pretty much flawless on the 360. I've ran into the save corruption glitch once early on, but haven't since. The only other thing I have noticed that is annoying is trying to join a coop game. Most of the time it doesn't work through the game lobby or join session in progress.Fleet_of_Foot said:

Let's see, the PS3 wiped out all the profit from the previous generations and caused the selling off of other divisions.
The studio that made Lair went under.
Even if you want to keep limited to pcs and just the launch itself instead of the aftermath, Brink was multi-player shooter with broken netcode. Thus effectively ruining it's chance to be come TF2's spiritual successor.
With Dead Island, most people seem to be having fun in spite of the jank and if Techland fixes the stuff, by Dead Island 2 the launch will have been forgotten.

Exactly, and really video games have skewed the idea of RPG's to be that higher level you are, the more powerful yet this is mostly a video game thing. Pen and paper RPG's have often used systems where despite your progress and experience, you did not just become godly and more powerful than less experience enemies, but you gained new abilities, skills, gear, etc that gave you more options and often helped make it easier to dispatch your enemies, but everything still posed a threat. Lot of people think RPG elements should be in line with old school level based video game design.

I think it's a little silly I cant drink some water
I haven't been selling the items. I know some of them are used for crafting stuff. I'm saying I wish there was stuff like armor to pick up. Looting bodies isn't that satisfying to me (also that "ducking" animation is a little nauseating).I understand why they scale the zombies. I'm just not a huge fan of that design. When you first start Fallout 3, you might get wrecked going to Rivet City (even though you're directed that way) because the super mutants seem impossibly strong. Then after leveling up a bit you can go back and handle them with much more ease, and it's satisfying to be able to do something that you couldn't before.
But, honestly I'm only level 8 (deleting save games has a way of impeding progress), and I do hear the game takes a while to pick up.

Can you play analog on kb/m ? grayed out for me.

That gets balanced out by the better quality weapons you can get later in the game.Sullichin said:I think it's a little silly I cant drink some water

I don't have the PC version but that's what I hear, it's kind of a shame. Seems it would work real well with a mouse.GhostRidah said:
Personally I wouldn't sell any of it because you never know (granted I'm only 10 or so hours in). I sell weapons, not parts.sazabirules said:

When I play I usually make a mistake and join people over and over, mostly after I level up then start to select what to upgrade. This messed me up a few times because one time the other guy left before I could (I think) and I figured it didn't need to load again since I was already in the same spot I was in before joining. Turned out I was still in his world with his mission progress. I thought the game reset my missions some how.
I sold a diamond. I needed fast money and figured it was probably only there to sell anyway. If some high end craft use this I'm going to kick myself.

Well, had my first real "WTF" quest moment on Xbox 360.
Also, finally managing to ditch my lower level weapons and take the risks on new ones. It's surprisingly hard for me to ditch them when I've put so many kills into them. :\
Did the quest where you need to save the Russian guy over near the helicopter crash site on the Resort part of the island. Did that and took him to a bunker nearby. He gives me a quest where I need to go find a cell phone and bring it back to him. Meh. I decide to do the main story quests and head over to the city and play around there for a couple of hours. I take a break for a bite to eat and fire up my 360 and bam, somehow I've completed that cell phone part of the quest...even though I haven't.

This is the purple drop. It sucked pretty quick 'cause the scaling is kinda strange.Neuromancer said:

Half an hour later I get a blue drop that is much better than my normal stuff.

You think that's nice? Check out my level 9 monster, upgraded 4 times (cost a lot of $ to do that!):

By the way, I've found so far:
Purple
Blue
Green
Gold
I actually think the gold might be the rarest? The crowbar in that pic above is 100 damage and low level
