you could have rescued a survivor that ditches you in a hoard in order for him to escape. reasons for letting him tag along? he says that he has a nuclear bunker that can protect them from zombies, but inside, everyone has turned into a zombie whilst he was gone, he is a scientist looking for a antidote to the zombie infection (preventing people from being turned into a zombie, not turning people back) and you talk about the zombies in incubators in his lab, or he's sent from the labs that created the virus in the first place, an is trying to rescue as many people as possible.

Cause some reason you and some other survivors need to save your wife and some other survivor.

You meet other military troops after a while and they come with an anti stuff and helps the infected who still are humans are saved.

Another idea from these selections I really like is akunoshi2's idea. It's one of the longest posts here so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

narutosonicfan 2010-03-22 19:47:34

What about having them travel to a different country? They'll discover despite their efforts to ecscape, not anywhere was quite as safe as they'd thought. (comment back on my page if you like the idea)

KaneTheKonquerer 2010-03-22 20:03:35

first off let me say i love the series. now depending on what state or country the games take place in different things could happen. like what most people are saying different weather conditions or animals could change the story a lot. i was thinking that some of the survivors on the farm cause a riot because of lack of food. So you, your wife, father-in-law, and about 3 other survivors have to leave the farm after the rioters set the farm on fire. before you leave you have a chance to get more survivors, guns, or supplies. then you have to find a new hideout and what not while searching for suitable transportation and dealing with more zombies.soon you run low on supplies so you and 2 guys from the farm look for food and ammo. while all of this is happening your wife becomes angered and grouchy. you believe it is from the zombie biting fer hand at the end of the first game, and that she may be becoming infected. you contemplate if you should kill her, let her live as long as possible, or lock her in a secluded room(in your new hideout) by herself for as long as possible just in case she really isn't infected. the 3 other guys from the farm believe you should just kill her to be safe. after your choice you wait out for a few days until suddenly in the middle of the night you here a military chopper flying around looking for survivors. you can either let it pass, try to shoot it down because it might give away your position, or shoot off a flare making a horde of zombies charge almost instantly to your position. if you can somehow get to the helicopter from the top of your new base while holding of the zombies you can end the game early with your wife being okay or dead, but if you choose to let the chopper pass the game can last a few more minutes to where a few military jeeps with soldiers armed to the teeth are driving through the streets to further help in the search for survivors. then the game can end with you and however many people made it and go to a military base about 50 miles to the north. then you get graded on how you did. Depending on how many survivors are still among the living will improve your score.

Some survivors at the farm become infected and you and your wife and a few other survivors look for shelter where they find Fairview from Dead frontier mmo, there could be a badass OA or You fight the Behmoth.

Four-Gun-Zero 2010-03-22 21:16:31

well I have a couple ideas I have played both of your dead frontier and man they are good. anyways since the last one ended up with our hero going back to the barn house with his wife, maybe the suplies started to run low and some hot shot is trying to get the leader ship of the place, how about you go with your wife and find some other place to go and you remember that there were rumors that a few cities in the north were unaffected by the virus and that your best shot at surviving without a ruthless leader is to take your wife there but there are some complications since your wife wants you to take her parents with you and you know that they will slow you down, anyways I could keep going but I want you the author to make a better story I guess that's all I can afford for now to you and hope it comes useful in your DF series anyways hope to hear form you soon and hope you liked my idea though Im sure others have fantastic ideas as well latters

Spoopy 2010-03-23 15:47:24

I GOT AN IDEA. THE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES ITS PLAN TO ABANDON EARTH AND START A NEW PLANET AND THE GROUP TREKS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO MAKE THE DEADLINE!!!

Firefly131 2010-03-24 07:38:12

I have always liked zombie fiction when it focuses on the relationships between the living survivors, perhaps a small conflict has broken out between two camps of survivors over a what food is left from a shopping mall. Perhaps the camp gets bigger and bigger and there is a group who feel like the bottom class and a revolution occurs.
I did like day 2 for the lone survivor going out to save the group from a disease, it's one that if it's done in a film only really last a few minutes. I hope you keep them coming, also enjoying the mmo, a lot, I hope you're aware though that Hideo Kojima wants to do a zombie mmorpg game!!!!

misterMAD 2010-03-24 11:47:56

i agree alot with kornrox, and about the ending i was thinking about you arrive in a city that isn't infected at all and you warn every one so the authorities evacuates everyone(including you and your team) and the game ends. what do you think?

S-ClarkIII 2010-03-24 13:53:54

When it comes to the final grade, I think how many times you failed should be part of it, elsewise it's incredably easy to get an A on the first go.

Gamerolled 2010-03-25 01:30:36

hmm... perhaps your wife turns out to be immune to the virus? Perhaps you could have her get bitten again (this time on her arm or leg instead of just fingers,) but she doesn't turn into a zombie. Then, maybe you can stumble across some researchers who are looking for a cure, and the wife could turn out to be important to their search for a vaccine. I know it's a tad cliche, but just thought I'd put it out there.

Flash-o-nator 2010-03-25 02:06:38

I like the guys idea about a oncoming nuke and you have to get out of the blast radius in 10 days or whatnot. and the inventory system where you can keep track of the supplies you have. maybe when you encounter zombies have a bit of your other game action in there and you have to kill them off. im drawing blanks right now. but anything would go great with this type of game :P

socks85 2010-03-25 17:57:47

How about these scenarios for DF: O3:

Reconstruction
"It's been nearly a year since the last zombie attacked the farm. The survivors are beginning to talk about the possibility of the zombies' extinction. A group (including the Main Character) is chosen to scout out the town, but it is found to still be unsafe. However, when the team returns, no one is at the farm..."

Cabin Fever
"Due to the length of time spent stranded at the farm, many survivors are beginning to exhibit symptoms of madness. Weeks after the cholera incident, the survivors find a body inside the farm with no signs of suicide..."

*By the way in DF:O2, wouldn't the water still be contaminated because no one fixed the sewage treatment plant?

liberator328 2010-03-25 19:15:51

You run out of ressources after a year, so decide to exit your beloved base not knowing whether or not the virus has been dealt with. You exit with all of the people inside the base. You luckily have a map and decide to travel to get to a harbor so that you can get away from civilisation. (After a couple of challenges=roadblocks, dead bodies but NO ZOMBIES) you meet a gang of survivors (one of them is wounded bite or something) which heard of rumors saying that there's a gigantic boat that's somewhat like a base(Rivet City) where the rest of the survivors in your region are safe from the rest of the chaos.

Since you don't have anywhere else to go, you decide to test your luck by getting there(takes x days).
Not knowing whether or not there is still a virus, if one of the survivors is infected, if there's a boat and if you'll survive.
Thats all i can think of.

Uzilover91 2010-03-26 10:52:25

I think you should involve the military man
You know, The old "GO IN THERE AND KILL EVERYONE" Military
So its a fight to survive the both of them

Hell even make them attack the farm stronghold right at the begining

Example Your guy kills one of the attacking soldiers and has to decide which equipment he wants off this guys corpse.....

So survivors vs military plus hundreds of infected!!!

That and more moral choices involving you're wife and her family
In fact make them with you throughout most of it

Also Infected animals and for that Be imagineitive..... Im sure you can come up with something.

But pretty much you've already nailed it down to a tee

good luck and Im fucking looking forward to the results

Murderface666 2010-03-26 12:54:43

The virus ruins the farms crops, so a group of the survivors, including you as their leader go into the city to get food. You re-unite with Ox in the mall, but ther's a big confrontation as you'd be taking their food, and they're running out aswell. I'll leave it up to you to do the rest.

WARFERmaster 2010-03-26 14:11:57

EH MY IDEA IS ONE ADVENTURE FOR SURVIVE IN THE CITY OF THE INFECTED WHIT
ANOTHER SURVIVORS WHITOUT MUNITION YOU STAR THE BEGIN IN ZERO AND WHIT THE
HELP OF THE OTHER SURVIVORS YOU NEED CONTINUE STEEL ALIVE

THIS IS MY IDEA FROM MASTERWARFER13

destructoid17 2010-03-26 16:42:40

My idea? Here: After months of living happily with your wife, eating, drinking and living, your supplies get dangerously low, and most of the other people who went looting... never came back. You and the other survivors decide to relocate. You decide on a college that is heavily fortified (Fairview academy of special skills). You and two other survivors (Jason & Noah) are sent to the campus. (Choose clothes, Armament, tool, side arm, and choose from 3 types of transportation, three off-road bikes, an old pickup truck, and a minivan, alternatively, you can go on foot.) While going down the old country road, you are attacked by a horde of zombies (you can choose to flee, take them out with your sidearm, gun, or piece of equipment EXAMPLE: Crowbar, tactical knife. After arriving in the barren lifeless city: It's up to you.

poorsoul 2010-03-26 17:25:05

like maybe a real flash animation with it would be awesome
