Day dreaming of 3.0.

Maybe I'm too hopeful about this and my expectations are too high, it wouldn't be the first time [*Cough* Storms.] and I know there's a lot coming, a lot of people sound hyped for bandits.
.. I'm hyped for the event system. Like, really hyped. Probably more than I should be, probably thinking it can do more than it's really able -- I hope not, though.
I hope the event feature can offer us some interesting alternatives- Maybe skip the occasional screamer and go right to sending a mini horde at us. .. Maybe predict our path and spawn like.. a dead boar and a handful of zombies eating it just up the road as we come running.

.. Man, I hope the Event system is like.. 70% of what I want it to be.
.. If it's not, I'm gonna complain. ;)
(.. Maybe it's 3.1 I can't wait for.)
 
Yeah, a dedicated event system could open up lots of new avenues for encounters. The problem is that it's very vague. For good reason though; they don't want expectations to be set too high (Look what's already happening with Bandits).

For what I remember reading in the past, the event system is being built to support bandits (in what way, I don't know). Hopefully it's something that either TFP or modders can build upon in the future.
 
Well suited for emergent gameplay for sure. I sincerely hope it's not restricted to bandit ambushes and the like. There's only a bit of the emergent in the game as is. You might run across a bear or wolf fighting a bunch of zombies, for example, but that's about it. As long as they don't go all Wild Wasteland, the sky's the limit.
