I like your game, that said, you should know conservative doesn't mean stupid, they would miss less even in an emotional situation, less indecisive. The inner voice might as well be whispering in his left ear. If dystopian society is the thing, there would be no hesitation under the story to breed with the fertile girls, you are just voicing your own limitations. Finally (so far in story) a conservative would have come up with ranged, and melee weapons with silencers or crossbows. Personally I might use coated weapons to render the opposition harmless and deal with them as needed. No need to wipe out the bandits, a communication of terms might be laid out by leaving a posted notification. The bandits are needed to keep your infected numbers down. Eventually the infected should destroy themselves too. Your story does not include any study into their behavior or their feeding. The conservative would have the entire complex monitored, trapped, and protocols on entry and capture if needed. No doubt at some point they could be followed, so you want something ready to render them harmless. Trading could be the start of a new civilization. I expected with all those vehicles the protagonist would try to wire up some other vehicles for more stealthy runs too. Get some binoculars and watch set out trip and tracking to see where the patterns are for who is in the area and in what amounts. So like I said, don't criticize what you don't know. The very ones you cry about might be there to save your bacon someday. Oh and you really think a convenience store is going to be the limitless source of supplies, come on. Why isn't your guy up checking the solar panels, batteries, and control grid to see why the power failed. Why is he so stupid that he doesn't use black out techniques, unless the rest of the area has lighting on? Oak 2x4 bar across the door, salvage a firedoor and use it. More insults to people that are confident in their structures, let alone mention they have faith, great. LMAO
