And spent like 10 looking at and configuring mods. It's a great pre-game!
Whenever I get the itch to play a Bethesda game nowadays I usually spend a week or two curating a new mod list and then maybe two hours of actually playing the game before I decide I'm over it.
I just lost my first character that lasted past a couple of days. After about a month of getting my base set up in a warehouse, I fell off the roof and broke my leg. Spent another month in my base with my broken leg waiting for it to heal.
The day it finally finished healing I left my base to get some supplies and got bitten by the first zombie I encountered. 
Lol awesome. I still haven't made it past two days yet. Normally I hate perma death games but the idea that I'll be able to go find my safe house again actually makes it really cool.
They make great zomboid mods but mostly I just have fun whispering "filibuster rhymes" to myself in various silly voices
Hmmm I hate graphics like that but the core of the game looks so good I'll have to check it out.
The developers promised to deliver a big content update this year that will add things to do in the late game, you should check it out so you can share in our disappointment if they continue to delay it! It sounds really good.
