Yes I get that - though difficulty levels could enable or not so again not an issue I can see.
Moving away from full sandbox to another story based zombie deal would be a pity in my view, but appreciate good for many players so all to the good and gives potential tools for modders probably. The lulz are the only reason I play games 🙂 but seems mods would be the way then so if remains highly moddable and great and creative community no biggie so you’re probably right enough for the devs to do…
Love that apache will check that mod for sure.
