PC Zombie Bear and water

[undeadsurvivor89]

I encountered a zombie bear on day 3 near trader Jen. I think the zombie bear spawned too early. They make the early game too hard. 
 

Another thing is finding water. why cannot player just collect rain water or dig a well?

This seems to be a bad luck roll. I had a similar thing happen to me on the first game I played, a dire wolf spawned on me near the traider. Then another dire wolf attacked my camp on the second night.

The way I play the game if I don't like the way my character is developing, I'll stop the game and start a new one.

I'm on my third playthrough and an encounter with a big bad predator hasn't happened to me except that first time.

Water is not that hard to find. Just look for a ditch or a water tower.

Yes, bears can be seen very early. They should mostly not be attacked but avoided.

Re water: I went 10 days without a water source until I noticed one just 8 meters away from my base !! I was so intent on looking for water sources I knew from before that I totally missed all the water around me in the village.
