also probably the good ending for herman and that other guy is also canon
This is why I think man of balance is probably the most likely
Who knows
Like, from what we've seen, Duty got massively reduced in numbers, which Freedom seemingly took advantage of
Which looked sick
I believe we've seen Yaniv in the latest Dev Diary, but there were Free Stalkers there
Barkeep was also kind of connected with duty too, I’m not sure if freedom would offer the same kind of protection/security
But then again, in the locations trailer the barman is wearing that vest
they probably dont like barkeep because of duty
Not really, everyone just falls under Duty's law there, but he saw them all as incompetent
that would be based. But I think the truce was breached when since rostok now is in freedom hands
So that wasn't Barkeep in 100 Rads was it?
duty: boykisser pmc (insert that patch)
Common Freedom W
I mean they have the vest
I think it is him
Why we side with freedom in clear sky
Hmm, true, but I guess he bald now
i can´t remember if it´s possible to lock myself out of any of the repair guy's in CS, is it?
You can if you become hostile with said Mechanic's faction
So he likely didn't help Yaniv station or the starting area location
Forester?
Saw his shack
nah zaton is cool so he probably helped
Or his place, wouldn't really call it a shack
because like owl gives information to SSU
Relocated to a new bar
Maybe but AFAIK svadosks is controlled by bandits
yeah i also think like that
Sultan ending? Nooo, I think it's beard
So he didn't help with the mutants
It's not Yaniv, although the tower in the background made me think it was
https://youtu.be/Z5TmiZUOosE?t=179
nah because owl is alive
The 1000 Rads Bar 
so i should try to get my gear sorted out before i try to settle on what faction to go with? because i kinda wanna try to go with Duty to have faster access to the RP-74.
in the mutant ending everyone dies in the ship
If you want to fully upgrade your SEVA Suit, then yes
The building in the back looks like yaniv
The trail is not there
Yeah, but it's not
Yep
So either deggy helped bandits or didn’t help either of them and bandits took over skadovsk by themselves
ngl i don´t even remember what armor i ended up using the first time
OR deggy helped Beard, but skadovsk still fell under bandit control after the events of CoP
Also pripyat bad ending?
So the ship in the time of opportunities was the shevchenko right?
Both ships
Oh
the one with the black trader was shevchenko
Both run by bandits?
No
Because it's pretty deserted and I think I remember the Richter guy speaking about it
It seems just the skadovsk
Shevchenko is loners then
Presumably
Ok, so I rewatched the Not a Paradise trailer and he didn't say it's abandoned in it
But it looks abandoned
But that might be for the trailer
i remember when i played CS the first time i spent so long thinking about getting the RP-74 just to only get it very late game and no mods for it because of it lol.
Burn
I refuse to
yeah thats easy to deduct from the trailers even
Aye
how do i screenshot in soc
Should be simply F12, then you can find it in the folders of the game itself
thanks man
I can't wait to visit the X labs and breath in that spicy air
Fresh air
imagine taking that ai scent device and instead of smelling grass you have radiation particles 💀
It's not confirmed. I don't think they did tbh.

I want to meet Noah
I´m sure his buckshot too want to meet you
noah is cool
also how tf did he get 2 compass artifacts
Wasn't it 3?
I can't wait to visit my favorite rock just outside of cordon
fuxk this life
lol
Mercs cant even fuсking swear
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Bad word usage
WHY ME
Lol
Get double Wolf'd
One of the helpers got on my ass over getting wolfed earlier man 💀
why bro
Talking about some it’s enforced when we see it… 😑

As if logs don’t exist. I have a mid tier discord made I own and can see every warning and what was said to induce the warning.
Uh huh
The horrors
are you saying that's supposed to make you more credible
I know your tricks
No the point of that is that nothing is unseeable
The whole point was he said it’s enforced when they see it?
I know your methods and your lies
All logs are kept
??? Are you good lmao
what do you specifically mean its enforced when they see it
IT WON'T WORK ON ME
He told me whenever you try to get past wolfs auto mod and they see it, it will be enforced
Only dumb shit with that is you can always see it it’s not like you gotta see the shit live there are logs
oh, seems like a waste of effort.
So if you gonna get on me just chase you happen to be in chat you gotta go get on the other mfers doing it in the logs
Exactly
If you gonna enforce rules make sure to enforce them all. the info is in the logs they can see whenever someone broke wolfs auto mod it’s one click away, this is an official discord I know they got logs lmao, so don’t single out me just cause you happen to be in chat at the time
But I digress 👌🗿👌
my favorite stalker local folktale, the "complain about mods" article
What if strelok becomes imposter in government and among us the military in stalker 2 tip of Pripyat

Nah helpers
Wish it was a mod tbh
Nothing get past us and wolf 
Exactly
So why in my ass when everyone’s run in with the wolf is logged 😭
But like I said I digress it’s all good
Watching a lore video from dugout atm
His videos lately have been like the purest form of crack for me 😭😭
Helpers are also mods btw.
It's basically like internship
It's a phase you need to go through. You can't just give full mod privileges to a random fella
So soon to be mods rather
Not even me 🥺
Salt yes haha
That's how you make tourist delight
Do you guys eat them? 
That shit looks vile in stalker 2 lmao
Damn
You will not implode for revealing the secret
So I have been eating helpers? 
Indeed
It will be an explosion instead from the cms
Rip to the helpers
That's not important anyways, mods and helpers are here to keep things in check. You don't need to distinguish between the two roles owners cuz they are both doing moderation, one more than the other, but still.
Yeah, kinky
He's not seasoned enough yet
You @granite mortar
Can helpers see logs?
Omg
It's a 
Cat :3
Ouch
Betrayal comes from your loved ones
Always
Lmao
#JusticeForRamen
NDA
💀💀 well than I’ll distinguish them lol
My whole point I explained above
You can trigger wolf's warning and you'll know if I do
If they can see logs ain’t no reason to have choicefull enforcement
If they can’t then I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt
Y’all still humans ain’t gonna great y’all any better than how you treat others due to a discord role
It's not like the mods haven't sworn on the server before they became helpers/mods
Exactly
If your gonna enforce it then deal enforce it idc
But if there’s gonna be moments it broken and leniency even by those who are supposed to do the ENFORCING lmao don’t get on my ass for it
But like I said it ain’t a big deal it’s whatever
As long as you aren't saying slurs or something you should be fine
Reason: Unspecified
Well apparently those 4 messages were too spicy since those are the only ones getting deleted...
maybe the 4th one was too much
whuh
They weren’t sigma😔
what did he do
Vova Vist got him
Id say double standards got him
I thought he was just complaining
told a joke, and mod not amused
ah
just tabbed in
what was the joke
A cheap racist one
it's not even a racist one 😂
He had it coming.

oh deserved
I’ve seen more betas in the past three days then sense I joined
in front of a mod too
Either way, back to talking about real important stuff, which is LORE

goldsphere is the only beta male I respect
man hope stalker 2 has some gimmick weapons
The audacity. Funnily enough it his racist comment was directed to helpers.
What a funny dude
Silly😝

Real shizzle
That man will be my forever opp on master difficulty
Try to do the Holy Run without getting hit 
Vova Vist is your most trustworthy man
Just saw the trailer with locations NGL this looks excellent - looks and sounds! (the SSR are bit low def, but other than that) I think you nailed it guys

I still hope he is there in s2
Aw, thanks man 
It wouldn’t be the cordon without him
it will be his brother, Wova Vist
Real, although now we've got le gigantic wall, so it'll likely be even more dangerous than before

And that would be the reason why I already left 1 server, 1 single mod being a douche, everyone knows he's one, but apparently the owner doesn't care
The hemophiliac made it, I assume we can
scar is empowered by emissions whatever that means
We can't, mat isn't here
I ams le here
So what if we talk about peak sky
Scar is like a glass of water, one too many emissions will add to much water and it will get spilled
Peak Sky, my beloved 
no but like what do the emissions actually do by empowering him
He doesn't have to eat! 
Rel rel
oh RIGHT
Same thing when you overcharge a electric anomaly
We have no clue whatsoever, sadly 
Perhaps it's more of a power level thing and not really a gameplay thing
Emission fry brain so he is invincible
Just need to delete brain, then emission can't hurt
He’s alive I talked to him yesterday
Prove it
Can't atm! Tejas implied that
Mercs
Mentioned in CoP by Strelok himself
I'll find the name of whoever killed him with the noted
He said it can be found, and I believe him
Conflicting records
In CS, we're told Clear Sky would go after Fang. Either he thinks that they're mercs, which is unlikely due to Degtyarev knowing about Clear Sky as implied in the description, or Clear Sky hired Mercs to go after him
Actually Kuro, I can prove it-ish
Let me find the note
@worthy lagoon
Strelok, I have some shitty news. Fang died. They were waiting for us in the village by the warehouses, and I think they were waiting a long time. Three of them. Seems like your average neutrals. Fang sensed them somehow. You know full well he has a good sense. We ran two of the down - clearly bandits - but the third turned out smarter than his buddies. He was sitting with Vintar about 100 meters away. Anyway, there's no more Fang.
He said 3 neutrals
And it seemed like a bandit ambush
Bruh 
The guy who had the vintar was probably more than just a bandit
Some old records suggested that it might be scar and it's remnants of the builds, but Tejas found the guy who killed fang in one of the 3 games
And he said it was not one of the protagonists
Nor mercs
He asked me to take the challenge and find the guy on my own
Okay, but where did you get this quote from? 
And one guy actually managed to find the guy too, and he was asked to keep it a secret for the time being
Strelok flash drive
Oh right, SoC
Welp, seen how SoC is SoC and CoP is CoP, you already know which one is canon
Obviously, but with SoC being riddled with buildo content, I'm saying not everything is carried over to Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat
fang died right before the events of SoC right?
One thing we can 100% confirm is that he was killed by a Merc, though
Yeah
Nor an average merc
One disgused as a neutral or a bandit
It's really unclear:
"Seems like your average neutrals"
"We ran two of the down - clearly bandits"
"I let the third one get away - I think it was one of the mercs"
We also know that it's directed by clearsky commandship
Could be two of them were Bandits and one of them a Merc, all of them disguised as Neutrals. How Ghost knows what they actually are though, I don't know
Reasonable to assume, yep
I might be able to find clues in SoC
Them asking Bandits feels odd though, so I guess that's why it got retconned to multiple mercs
Besides, if it was post-CS, maybe it wouldn't even be the case anymore?
WAIT I'M AN IDIOT
Not asking hehe
It's actually the merc
Not cs
It was pre-CS, somehow
Cs hate bandits
@worn oar could it be one of the bandits that robbed Scar? They stole Scar's Vintar and then pursued the group
Doubt so.
It's actually a merc who did the deed
Sorry, SoC is my least played STALKER game, so I know less about it than the other games 
Two bandits? Maybe yeah
But the third one is the merc
I'll try to see an answer tonight
There's no answer
Is the character in SoC? @worn oar
I still can't pin point it
We don't know who did it 
Tejas does
what if its scar after he got brainwashed by the c con or smth
Nope
He lost his vintar
So, he's a merc, although it seems to be disguising as an average neutral or bandit, might have a scar in his face and has hazel eyes
And the scar on his face, hazel eyes, etc.. does not really seem that specific to me
@old jungle someone found out who killed Fang but they're keeping it a secret
Scar was not the killer
We know that for sure
Cuz even strelok has the scar too
Good for him, because there's nothing confirming it 
Scar doesn't have hazel eyes
Impossible, because Fang was killed before the events of CS
Hello guys
?
'Sup
omg hi
I'm playing CS and it's buggy as hell💀
Nothing, it's nonsense
The only clue that is worth mentioning is that the killer is not any of the 3 games protagonists
Oh okay
Tejas is a reliable source
imagine if fang oofed himself 💀
hello
Tejas do B Tejas, but Tejas do B Tejas
1 sec kuro
It would be funny
I'll get a screenshot
I think the killer can be tracked down
Yea
Look, you want to know who killed him? I know as well
Who?
Btw, any ideas how to fix clear sky? I'm already using the mod that should fix every thing
he definitely died to a gun thats for sure

How can it be him if it was pre CS and they know his face?
Because Strelok has multiple faces, as can be seen in SoC, CS and CoP 
Because it's not supposed to
Comment is gone (the one that tells about someone finding out)
He's referring to my comment and his replies there
AKA there's no proof
Which group is it? 100 or project?
Like, i kinda find myself with Anomalous theory on the killer being the one on the right
I wanted to get him to join the server, I wish he did. The guy is the biggest stalker veteran Ik
That's the CD cover
Is he in the game?
I mean… there’s still nothing confirming it until it’s actually confirmed
Ig not
at the end of the day it’s still just a fan theory
I believe GSC confirmed they're just random duders, although this GSC is a different GSC compared to the other GSC
maybe he is there but looks way diffrient
Possibly
That's the thing, never found him
scar on the box looks way diffriient than in the game
Tejas most likely has proof but doesn't want to show it yet
Tejas actually said that no one will find the answer before stalker 2 release
He always has its sources
I believe him haha
Someone did
Soooo it’s stalker 2 content?
He doesn't want to tell
But why would you say that and then not tell anybody
troll
The series is over 15 years old there’s no reason to hide that information lol
Not hide
it’s a huge mystery, always has been
we really gotta search the game for a mf that looks simmilar to the guy on the box

or check the files
Yeah
look for a guy with a beard or goggles and done
and also hes using the long toz 66 on the box
i love when stalker box art has stuff that isnt in the game
also scars ak is wierd af
it has the stock and reciver of a an94 and the gas tube and barrel of a ak74
or am i tweaking
@pseudo rivet @worn oar
Since Fang was in the dark valley he probably screwed up with some mercs in there and used the tunnels
Or maybe freedom members, and then they followed him in the Army Warehouses
Yet SoC confirms that he was already dead at that point 
You sure?
Cut content hehe
Strelok went to the CNPP after Fang died, at least as this dialogue implies
Inb4 it's Wolf 
Lmao
Oh wait, Wolf does have the scars but blue eyes
Nimble killed fang don’t ask me how I know
Either way, in the DV we have the following factions:
Mercs
Freedom
Duty(?)
We can eliminate factions that are not directly responsible and the ones left are freedom, bandits, loners, and mercs
We can also try to eliminate according to faction weapon preferences
ok so cut content from the games box art
scars ak74
long toz 66
degtaryev gas mask
tunnel anomaly from CS
gremlin dude from soc box art
OZK nbc suit
thats all i know
Yeah, to his 2nd attempt yes, there were 3 total attempts
3rd in soc
1 pre CS
1 during CS where Fang dies and Strelok reaches the CNPP
So it's Sidorovich 
But it's not really a wise path to take
In CS we are even tasked to track down Fang
Nope
Which at some point Lebedev says to switch target to Strelok
It's not a clearsky member
Hehe
If I found the guy, I'll keep it a secret too 
And get the lore master of the server crown for myself haha
No matter who they say it is there’s no reason to believe them unless they actually back it up with substantial evidence
Matt would've found this intersection
Fang went to the DV and then headed to the AW, someone probably followed him when he went to the DV
I think he's in the DV
That's where they were from for sure
what if its the fat bandit leader
yeah
No it’s not
Can't be Borov, he's not a merc
what about wolfhound
ah
Maybe, but how about the ambush part? Ghost stated that it was that, and I think it's a small chance that someone was fast enough to plan an ambush.
And didn't look like bandits
The bandit part can not be taken that much into consideration. We can be sure that 2 out of the 3 were bandits, but the killer was way too skilled to be one
i heard this dude flint saying that he killed a dude named fang
should we belive him?
He was disguised as one though?
Or as a neutral?
All 3 were described as neutrals
To be fair, 2 of them were killed, so it'd be hard to figure out who the Bandits are
Ghost said it lmao, he's an eye witness. Probably the most credible source there
GHOST KILLED HIM 
Always felt bad for ghost
Ghost killed Fang 
Fang was killed as Scar arrived in the DV
That's his time of death
Apparently
I'd have to get the names of all neutrals in the AW
when is this known?
There's all the duders with generic faces - Master, Scarecrow, Sparrow, Smartass, Father Diodor, Wolf
But with his death being a while back, it doesn't have to be Neutrals over at the AW
Forester killed fang
Lebedev will tell you that there's no need to pursue fang anymore because they took care of him
Not "took care of him"
Mot directly
They implied they'd go after him
yeah that's very different
At the end of the day whoever this guy is doesn’t matter if this person doesn’t substantiate their claims
guy could be like “yeah actually sultan killed fang but I’m not telling you how I know I just know”
If this guy was such a diehard fan wouldn’t he want to tell people what he found out?
And how would he find out if people who have been theorizing for 15 years hadn’t already
It was revealed to me in a dream 
source? i made it up 
Like with all due respect, it’s not worth believing at face value
What's this about?
Unless they actually back up their claim
I'll check it myself by replaying the trilogy
Some “diehard” fan on Facebook claims they found out one of the biggest mysteries in the series
But won’t tell anyone

Good, they probably got leak info. We have to be careful.
Tejas is a huge loremaster
facebook posts are CRAZY
Wait Tejas? No I trust him when it comes to lore.
reddit > 4chan > obscure wikis > fb
Tejas is way more reliable than the whole STALKER wiki
^
I also trust Tejas to be Tejas, so 
Wonder what Spartan mozi would say about this
fr
mf needs to share it or it means nothing
PLEASE I have dealt with this ENOUGH
^ just cuz your respected with no proof claims dont matter
@loud gate
Do you know Tejas?
He has, he won't share it yet
I don't care if they're really well respected if they don't supply any sort of evidence
I just don’t think it’s worth believing 100% just at face value
Yeah that's fair
why not just ping the stalker devs directly
Because the answers will also be in S2
because that’s what it is, it’s saying hey guys I actually know the answer to this 16 year old mystery but I won’t tell you for another 4 months, please believe me
That'd be spoilers
oh true fair lol
There are things people know under NDA from events
He might tell it before the release of S2
But eh, i trust him, he knows his stuff, I'll research that in the trilogy when i set up my PC again
I think I have some ideas of what to do
Get out of here stalker!
I said come in, don't stand there!
Btw are there any lore channels? I got the canon ending and I have a few questions.
This would be the channel for anything STALKER-related
Marking lore discussions with spoiler bars is ofcourse encouraged. ||like this||
Ask away here
I struggle to believe that Stalker 2 isn’t gonna come to PS5. Molt’s answers are interestingly not outright denying it
It's assumed it will have a 3 month exclusivity with Xbox and PC
Whether it actually comes to PS5 after that, no one knows
Honestly everything is piled towards the exclusivity being timed
-
The trilogy being on Xbox AND PS
-
Xbox’s overall new direction regarding its exclusivity and its games
The fact they haven’t outright denied it anywhere tells me that PlayStation isn’t written off and is probably even planned
Hard to say 
Idk by not outright denied
Can't wait for gamescom
The response to the question was “PC and Xbox exclusive” which is pretty close to a denial
Someone asked Mol1t and he just said Xbox & PC, seemed like a rather definite answer
Yeah this
Considering they release S.T.A.L.K.E.R. LotZ on PS as well I can't imagine them never bringing out HoV on that system
I guess it’s not “stalker 2 will not release on PlayStation” but still
Could just be me! But it sounds more like NDA/corporate speak. You’d think they’d say more “PC/Xbox exclusive. No plans for PlayStation”
"But we were all of us deceived, for another port was made."
My biggest point is this. The fact they brought the trilogy to PlayStation and even bent the knee to Sony’s modding demands tells me they at least wanna keep that door open
Sony hates mods 
true
I’m still miffed about that xDD. Us on Xbox could’ve had such a nice time with it. Alas Sony had to pull their dong measuring contest again
Sony sucks
They neutered console mods on all Bethesda games as well by denying use of 3rd party assets
Amazing take nerv
nerv does as nerv does
Yes, yes, a truly amazing take.
Based Nerv
I nerv on a nerv
Sony killed their GOTY contendor and main live service of 2024. Says everything really
It's Nerv or Nothing
One might say Sony gets on his nerves
I am going to NERV the NERV out of sony
it’s nerving time
Remember when nerv nerved so hard when he said “it’s nerving time” and nerved all over the place
Sony try not to ruin their stuff challenge(impossible)
They do make banging games though
I can Nerver forget that moment 
Crimson's on fire
Both companies suck. Return to Gameboy colour
was it sony that killed hi fi rush
Xbox shut down Tango
Nintendo is the worst of both worlds lol
I mean
I like God of war
I like helldivers
But they're kinda like Disney
Ruins everything
Xbox did, then Krafton saved them
Nerver tell me the odds 
oh nice
lemme play Tetris damn it
just spent almost all of my money on buying a Sunrise suit and modding it out with all i could.
Nintendo hasn't made a new PMD (good) game in like a decade
Isn't hi-fi rush the one with the Scottish person?
What game
I wonder if the PDA in stalker 2 will have a snake mini game
No?
CS, I believe
no it's the one with the cat
Do u have games on ur PDA?
Only recent game I've seen with a Scottish person was Still Wakes The Deep
Still wakes the peak
NINTENDO™, MAKE A NEW PMD GAME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
500 nervgarettes
Based Nerv yet again 
And Space Marine II with Captain Sevastus Acheran 
Still Wakes the deep needs a series set around the UK lol. Have the next one be set in a welsh coal mine
Looking forward to SM2

Or maybe there could be an ARG about it, which dives deeper into the lore like what oil strike '75 did
It all ties back to Maggie Thatch
ain't she dead
Space marine
Long dead
She who must not be named
I just appreciate the authentic Scottish voice cast 
Considering her grave is a public urinal on Google. Yup
Hah I found the original yellow paint in Majora's Mask with the ramp in the Goron Village hall.
Yellow paint haters when they find out yellow paint is actually used in real life
I never even noticed the yellow paint in the demo
Unlike painting exploding barrels red
Dying light the forefront of yellow paint
The reason it's hated is simple
Sneaky barrels should be purple
Same after multiple watches until pointed out ad infinitum
What if clear sky was yellow sky
I think all ladders are just canonically yellow in the zone whether or not an actual interactable, there's a broken yellow ladder in the lab
Mf red barrels are explosive
Zone has liver failure
Who took the time and resources to actually paint them? 
Freaky sky
Vintar becomes Sydney sleeper
Sounds wacky
Yellow paint on stairs and ladders is not exactly uncommon
the way it’s done in some games is laughable though
It's unnecessary no matter what 
I mean, when it comes to Still wakes the deep, it kinda makes sense considering you are on an oil rig and the ladders have to be easily visible
Or any industrial area in general
yes, Clear Sky. i have been running around too long without a proper suit and it has not been going me any favors but now i can carry 5 artifacts and i´m sure that´ll be useful.
it’s not a new concept to make construction/industrial safety things yellow
Stairs are yellow
Railings are yellow
Seva suit
Wait, my role is yellow...
Based seva suit
Am I a safety hazard? 
Obviously

Of course
(I should be yellow)
Maybe Sir Yellow would be a better name than Sir Crimson at this point
Don't eat the yellow snow!
Hahahahaha!
It’s bothering me a little that I feel like I need to become enemies with the Bandits if I don’t outright want to work with them. Just being put in the negative in the meters will make all of them hostile won’t it? Or can I dip a little into it and then get some rep with them to return to being at least not shoot on sight?

Sir Piss 
They become openly hostile when the reputation bar reaches red
You can kill a few
Is there ways to regain it without doing their main missions?
Before they agro
Not on this good christian server, Sir Wee would be more age appropriate here
If they have fetch quest
Farmer fudd
I am currently in the valley and freedom guy wants me to kill a group.
Do it for chaddom 
MAKE. THE. RAILINGS. PURPLE!
Did CNPP workers get free happy meal in '86?
If you join freedom bandits can ask for help when they get attacked by duty. If you help them you get some reputation too
When it comes to what faction I plan on actually trying to join it’s going to be Duty simply because I want the RP-74 machine gun
SIR WEE-WEE 
Based
No they got radiation poisoning and died
Damn
Kinda lame
Is || the monolith fake? Does it give you hallucinations? Also does the noosphere really control human emotions? Not sure if emotions is the right word. Idk if I understand that last thing that the c conscious said ||
No
||in a nutshell, yeah||
The wish granter ||is not real||
||Yes, yes, no. It holds them instead, from what we know||
It’s like 2019 Fortnite
what is that in other terms
I want to go back/ heaven

I wanna keep playing but I have work today so I better sleep, regardless of how many cans of Monster I have in the fridge lol.
Sounds like stalker
Blasphemy 
What do you have to say about this 
See.
GSC I COME TO YOU AGAIN ASKING FOR EARLY ACCESS TO THE GAME STALKER 2 HEART OF CHERNOBYL, I SHALL GIVE MY LIFE FOR IT

|| so by destroying the massive machine at the end, what did we… do exactly? Stop the noosphere from further spreading/breaking the illusion? I still don’t what we actually accomplished by breaking the machine excepting for taking a well deserved nap in the grass ||
Don’t know what*
Pretty much
Tho the monolith members are no longer controlled they still believe and trying to contact it i.e. COP
They stupid fr
Real
||From what little we know/can speculate, it basically made the Zone more unstable by having Emissions appear daily and expand the Zone||
Clear sky first

We stopped some people playing god but it’s resulted in the zone no longer being somewhat controlled or something

i feel most would tbh
That || grass || did look comfortable tbh
fr tbh
But honestly I think he had no idea what he did
You will find out in Call of Pripyat
A lot of your questions will be answered more in depth
Ah also do I need to play CS to understand CoP? My friends told me to skip it
||Not really, I suggest playing CoP to figure out the answer, but it's nothing grand||
Your friend is stupid and you should set his house on fire
Nah they’ll leave it on a cliffhanger and an open ending
Do NOT skip it, but you can understand it without CS
but you should still play CS
Play CS fr
The progression of the game world becomes more clear
My bro compared it to ds2 lmao
it’s not that bad.
Sounds like he's got a skill issue, then
Not that ds2 is bad
🗣️ Peak Sky
People talk a lot of smack but it’s overblown
CS is good, it has issues but it’s very good
Then give us STALKER Pripyat Shadows Chernobyl
Clear Sky is awesome and it has a ton of lore. There's plenty of knowledge to be gotten from it 
Clear Sky is turning out to be my favourite (except for the cordon machine)
What does it do better than SoC? ( just out of curiosity)
Bonus Points if you do the Holy Run without getting hit once 
Well
Artifacts are different, they are invisible to the naked eye and you need a detector to find them
Which is a staple of the series, the format of artifact hunting in CS and CoP
That’s not number 1 but it’s pretty big

Being able to repair your gear and mod them too.
Upgrades for one, you can repair your equipment, weapons are more balanced so it's up to you which you prefer, you need detectors to find artifacts, a ton of interesting lore about the Zone specifically, etc.
artifacts are also just better
Ah cool
they're the strongest in CS
I read roadside picnic to see if the lore was similar to SoC. was quite surprised to see that || aliens || weren’t the start of it all
They're two separate things altogether
I realise that now ya
Weapons feel nerfed in CS but they’re also upgradable so they end up being better but say not double as they were working at like 75% compared to the first game
Aye
Vova vist best character
And, of course, Clear Sky has Faction Wars
Who talks about them? Im on a CS run and want to absorb all the interesting lore i missed last time
So you can actually join a faction and fight for them
Idk why this wasn’t my first response
Upgrades are so good
They’re also really important in CS

it's fun to wipe out freedom in CS
Father Valerian and Kolobok come to mind
I do find it weird that the artifacts effects keep changing between the games like that kind of annoys me lol.
But especially Kolobok
Who and where is kolobok again?
Its been a while
Duty bartender running the Peaceful Atom at Agroprom
Dookie
I don’t know why this is a hot take but for me CoP maps > many of the first two game’s maps
He's also got interesting Monolith lore
Ganja🔝
Ahh, havnt gotten there yet, just got into garbage and ||filthy bandits robbed me for all I had, wouldve shot them but i plan on joining them lol||
I must have missed this
Buzz? Well, a whole faction has gone missing. And it's not like they were take out by people or wiped out by monsters. They just vanished, warts and all. These guys were weird too, with a real hard-on for the Zone. They believed that the Zone was alive, and in its center was a Monolith - a Wish Granter. So they declared themselves the protectors of this Monolith. And then one fine day their whole faction just got up and took off for the center. Yep, right to the Wish Granter. They headed for the Scorcher, crossed the Barrier, and no one has seen them since.
Hard on
||will bandits always try to take all my money away or if i become friends theyll be not doing that?||
I remember losing so much money to them
I dislike bandits 
I HATE bandits they have slave camps
I forgot what to do to get to Agroprom without killing the bandits on the way because they turned hostile last I walked by.
I don't, because I usually just wait for the Neutrals to kill the Bandits guarding the Garbage's borders
I run past them always
Pay them 
They cheeki breeki tho
We will be able to join factions right
They go neutral again always
No clue, but we CAN side with them
Unknown
Bummer
They sort of just opened fire on me as I was walking up to talk to them.
Yeah, you have to freeze when they tell you to
||they'll still do it||
Unless something went wrong there
And holster your weapon
it's dumb and I don't enjoy it but even if you work with them the squads still do it
In that case, reload an earlier save
They tell you to stop and then come up to you
If you move they shoot
Guessing I cant just kill them?
They become mean people after
I want to sleep but I can tell my brain is going to be running simulations of my Clear Sky run to find out what choices to make next time lol.
you can but they all become hostile
I usually do it just because it's a pain otherwise and you can still do a couple quests to get cash and gear
||When they are bout to rob you, you can run like hell||
What is the cheapest physical copy of the game? That only comes with the gamebox.
That way you can be less of enemies with them
is the 179.99 version the cheapest edition of physical?
Like 70 bucks
Oh!? Where? I cannot find the preorder button on the website for this edition. I have 1-3 in physical boxes and want 2!
There should be a standard physical copy
I do not want all the extra stuff like the patches and stickers lol. I just want the physical game disc and art box for PC.
Comes with some stickers and some other merch
that is cool I will totally pay 70! can you help me find the preorder link for this? I cant seem to find it on the website, or the website isnt loading properly for me. Its all formatted weird for some reason
Go to the stalker website main page and scroll down to the pre order and select physical
Not sure if we can pre order in the America’s yet
I did, I got an email but its asking me if I want the Ultimate Physical Edition which I think is the 379.99 one lol
The PC version of the physical edition comes with a steam code
only the x box comes with a disc
That is cool, I just want the boxwork to add to my game collection on my wall
I have a thing for PC box works lol like Daggerfall
based AF
im playing CS. i got tired of fighting bandits at night at garbage so i ran back down south to try and sell a bunch of stuff in the previous area... emission starts. seems to pass but 3 dudes blocking the door so i cant get out. go back in and out of the loading screen to garbage to see if they moved. emission kills me when i get back even though im inside lol
Curious, after the military raids x18, do they continuously come after you take them out before proceeding to cordon?
I usually take out the ones there but I notice they show up afterwards before completely leaving. Has anyone tried to end them all?
You get your stuff back and kill them
yeah you gotta go to the designated areas
This game is the oregon trail of ukraine
except you can't die from sepsis
Oh snap you just figured out what anomaly needs next.
Or dysentery
Nighttime in CS is literally advanced darkness
practically impossible to play at night tbh
I stood at rookie village an entire night once because I refused to fight in that darkness lmao
Clear sky had that gorgeous lightning illumination though
It was also raining
sorry I was watching this bomb ass video of someone's sona
shame you don't start with any NV
Furries go brrrr 
means you're basically forced to rush

I still need to come up with a decent sona that isn't just the plague knight
When in doubt: fox
I know someone who's doing relatively cheap sketches
I got the first art for free as a gift 

The roaming packs of like 8 snorks in clear sky are terrifying lol
Was doing the mission where you go into the underground to flood it and damn near shit my pants when I ran into them
oh my god that section is awful
worst part of CS for sure, entirely because of the snork tunnel
down there with the pripyat escort quest
The knife of doom saved me since my console aiming skills couldn’t
||I remember bypassing them easily in the underground area||
How do we not have a single snork sticker 
Fighting snorks overencombered sucks
Snorks in Stalker 2 are gonna be crazy if they stick with that pack mentality



Peak sky
Painful sky

I love that the game permits you to save when you're DEAD
Clear sky? More like bug sky
I never crashed while eating.
YOU SAVE THE GODDAMMIT GAME - IT CRASHES
This sounds like a skill issue. Perhaps get a better gaming chair?
I never crashed
IT DID TO ME
Your machine is busted.
I'M CRYING FOR PAIN
Have you crashed @celest blaze?
the only time i really crashed in clear sky was the ending
This mf right here hates cs btw
AYO
D1 cs hater
SoC was better
The master difficulty wasn't as painful as in this game
Real shit
(all the games are good)
take
AYO
Bait
If it were not for the laws of this land I would slay you where you stood.
A duel to death is the only way to resolve this




so true
Who's messer
The Major is better.
well, proto-marked one, he was always strelok

scar better
damn
How the hell do i change my nick
mods have to do it
Aw man
Kit has a smaller hit box
also no real fingers
Also if it's a Analmeme kit, it's broken asf
it's not
I LOVE CARS
And if it's a goldsphere kit, it can temporary causing blinding and ringing ears
I paid like 1400 for a catalytic converter I hate cars
just steal one, what are you doing
Time to do something crazy (attacking the military base in cordon in CS)
obeying the law
That sounds lame as hell
Straight pipe it dude
that was fursuit money man

Unless you live in Cali or something
I can't unbuy it without a severe loss of funds anyways
I could estrogen cycle with those funds
you could do what
Tren cycle
true
Tren goes hard
I could gamble with those funds 😢
Ong
I could buy a few high tier war thunder premiums with that
that was like 40% of a suit beside they're insanely overpriced
I haven't looked at prices in a while though
I have never paid for anything in WT
Love the snail
F2P baby 
Based AF I've sadly given then snail a bit of cash
grok em
I couldn't resist the snail
You OPPs with estrogen
I think nozar is a woman
Has everyone here ate today?
I'm like 95% sure
Yuh
Skill issue tbh
Good
Nah jk
i just had a bowl of cereal
Good
