I've been having a hard time deciding if DayZ is an experience I want to have.
On the one hand, I've heard a lot of great stories and seen a lot of videos that paint an amazing picture of what this game could be. On the other, I suffer from (among other brain-related issues) severe anxiety and a number of social phobias that make it hard for me to interact with other people, even online. Sometimes it's easy to put aside, sometimes it's impossible - to the point where in some online games I'm not even able to respond to another player that's addressing me directly.
It seems like a lot of what DayZ is about relies on you being able to communicate with other players, whether to bargain, threaten, or beg for your life. I'm concerned that this will make it impossible for me to have a good time with this game.
I'm curious if any of you suffer from similar issues, and how (or if) that affects your experience with DayZ, or really any other online game where communication is important.
