Clear Sky 1.5.10 has game breaking bugs

shrewd dagger
late bramble
faction wars sucked when npcs took ages to arrive to a location
timber zodiac
The only conflicts that are not buggy are clear sky-renegades and loners-bandits, the other conflicts are very buggy if you complete the loners - bandits

"You might be tempted to fight the couple of dozen bandits procreating in the warehouses"
barren mason
I completed the entire game being a merc
finite dragon
so i saw on a few new sites that stalker 2 discart the whole plot from the original stalker2
serious question: still worth the wait?
open lintel
@gilded dawn hey, need you to remove the swear, ty
stray mountain
@finite dragon where did you read that?
Cuz as far as I know no info about stalker 2 has come out yet
finite dragon
stray mountain
"the studio is drawing from the original Stalker trilogy, naturally"
They aren't going to do anything with the cancelled older version of stalker 2 is what they meant
Also good that there isn't a battle royale mode, we got fear the wolves for that
sacred valve
can someone give a me a list of mods to call of pripyat to make it more like a 2019 game, and also mods that are essential etc...
tired anvil
@late bramble
late bramble
more like a 2019 game
elaborate?
if you mean graphically try remake mod
cant promise if its actually good tho)
if youve never played CoP before play it vanilla, also for stalker mods you typically dont install several mods over the same game because it causes way too many conflicts
CoP has no essential mods
@sacred valve
sacred valve
i played stalker vanilla but a long ago, i want to have an improved experience of it in all the aspects possible
yeah i know about the conflicts thats why im asking, for some mods that are compatible and improve the game a lot
i saw dead air is releasing a new version this summer should i wait?
late bramble
play anomaly instead
shrewd dagger
No need to replay CoP, that gets old fast
Anomaly is indeed a good mod to try
The best gameplay mechanics and graphics in the series
robust forge
Although the 1.5 isn't the best version to start with imo
It appears to be too complicated for people starting with mods
shrewd dagger
Hmm, wait for release yeah
I don't think it's complicated
It's even mostly stable
robust forge
Yeah
1.5 is actually very stable
It's more stable than 1.4 on my pc
And it doesn't stutter aswell
finite dragon
@stray mountain so?
stray mountain
So.. it's good that they start fresh instead of picking up the broken pieces
finite dragon
the plot from original stalker2 was pretty good tbh
dont know why they arent gonna use it
shrewd dagger
Maybe they have a better one
finite dragon
What was the plot for the og stalker 2?
tired anvil
you get blamed for killing strelok
finite dragon
also duty and freedom war ended by making the liders from both factions stretching hands in front of everyone

yes
shrewd dagger
Might as well go with Anomaly instead
CoC is dead, no longer being made, 1.5 never finished
Most or all 1.5 features are already in Anomaly
Anomaly is CoC + more on a better engine, with the best graphics in the franchise if you care about that

Not good for gaming but there are always other options
upper knot
Vnimanie, anekdot!
A Dutier, a Freedomer, a Mercenary, and a Loner are sitting by a campfire.
The Dutier, being a Dutier, decides to start bragging about how tough he is.
"You guys think you are tough", he says. "I've went out into the Zone, done a three day hike through the Red Forest, and killed a dozen bloodsuckers with my bare hands."
"I once went out into the Zone, spent five days stalking the Radar, and killed fifty bloodsuckers with my bare hands.
Then the Mercenary decides to pipe in.
"Dudes, quiet down, you're nothing. I once did a parachute landing straight into Pripyat, spent an entire week just fighting the Monolithians there, and strangled an entire pack of Chimeras to death with my bare hands."
He gives a smug smile, looks at the Loner, and says: "Top that."
The Loner doesn't say a word.
He just shakes his head, and keeps on stirring the coals of the fire with his cock.
charred flume
who still has a 32 bit os in 2019 what

smoky pelican
wouldnt all stalkers in chernobyl eventually die of cancer, radiation, etc even after leaving the zone?
even strelok must've gotten hella radiated
vague mirage
Also vodka, never forget the vodka
finite dragon
Artefacts can protect against and reverse cancer
pseudo rivet
Yeah, thanks to a mysterious artifact, the Ecologist were able to create a medicine able to cure cancer
Weird thing is that only Freedomers mention it
Seems like they truly care
cloud plank
You know what else cause cancer? processed meat, that right, Marked one got cancer, not from the radiation, but from all of those diet sausage he eat.
finite dragon
Processes meat is disgusting
Luckily my country is a major meat producer, so you just pop down to the local butcher for good meat
Actually
There's gotta be someone in the Zone who butchers mutant meat for safe consumption, when there's shortages of imported canned goods and other preservable foods
robust forge
Hmm
Looks like a good way to scrap some coin in the zone
I mean
Somebody inside has to know butchering
finite dragon
So I just encountered something interesting
In COP, I just finished drinking with Zulu, and now everyone in Yanov shows as an enemy to me
So I can't exactly interact with anybody other than Nitro
Aaand I can't get out because the camp is locked down
Because some dude whipped out his Kalash and started spraying at me
I just reloaded the save and even just walking into Yanov causes the entire area to lock down and everyone show as enemy all of a sudden
This is really odd
robust forge
Hmm
Idk
Tbh I haven't played the vanilla for a long time
I haven't played stalker in general for a long time
I haven't played almost anything for a long time too
Why?
My keyboard broke
finite dragon
Oof
I've found the problem
I reloaded an earlier save and stuff
But
Every time this one dude enters, he shoots me
I don't know why
I'm not even hostile to bandits
Hold on
He's already in Yanov
So I can't shoot him before he enters
And funnily enough there's an emission happening at the same time so
finite dragon
I'm gonna try and wait out the emission elsewhere, then do something else for a while so hopefully he leaves before I return
finite dragon
@finite dragon on SoC you can see the leader of Duty cooking a mutant pig, and on Clear Sky the Loners are cooking one too
finite dragon
sosig
normal creek
has anyone played Next Day?
cloud plank
@finite dragon While i agree with you and surely there is someone cooking mutant meat, I think is safe to guess that more than the half of the mutant of the Zone have some kind of human origins in them. Being that the case ill stay with the bread and vodka for my runs.
Or potatos in the case of OGSE
pearl spire
Do you think someone will eventually make a farm? Surely there must be some good soil in the zone
cloud plank
Dont know how radiation have affected the soil of the chernobyl zone, let alone how that works out in the freaking science blending zone from Stalker
Maybe some psy emitting corn and carrots
jade pagoda
I guess people can herd and raise fleshes
finite dragon
Likely some old man like Forester, who survived the creation of the zone and refused to leave his little farm cottage on the outskirts of the zone, and just continued what he used to do but with these new creatures who mutated from his pigs
A way for an old man to make enough money to send to his grandchildren at college and to keep the military remaining a blind eye

Amazingly massive update https://www.moddb.com/mods/misery-the-armed-zone/news/the-armed-zone-20-beta

I am hearing some very mixed opinions of it though

Wow, long time of wait ! Thanks for the info !
finite dragon
ok
remember in clear sky that one time when you werent rushed
oh right
I never do
haha
pseudo rivet
@finite dragon Have you considered getting the Freedom role? I see you still don't have any kind of role
barren smelt
Forget about Freedom
they only drink soy milk there
Come to Duty and drink cow's milk that we milk from the cows here in zone
the glowing piss just adds to your manliness factor
finite dragon
Duty? Pfft.
You're all Army wannabes
You pretend to be an organised military force when in reality, your neighbour's little kid with a water gun could take you on
Come to the service of the Monolith
Experience the true brotherhood we share
finite dragon
We have the best equipment
robust forge
Monolith is even worse
robust forge
Like you're basically lobotomites, you know?
finite dragon
No
Not at all
Our predecessors chose to serve
And so do we
Only we full dedicate ourselves and allow the will of the Monolith to flow through us
To guide us
pseudo rivet
Duty is just some make believe army made by a pathetic man who died in a pathetic way, which is also ironic
Besides, I still haven't seen any of them actually defending the stalkers they swore to protect
finite dragon
It's ironically more military than the actual military
They're like Airsoft LARPers
Super serious
Real Military guys are laid back as hell
That is, until you poke them in the ribs with a fork
pseudo rivet
Cowards would be my choice of words
But I agree, they can be competent opponents when fought
pseudo rivet
That's also true
Although, they are modifying their equipment specifically for the Zone
robust forge
Yeah, but that's still not enough
robust forge
Yeah, same
pseudo rivet
They might be on the background scene, but they can really mess you up
We all remember Agroprom, for example
pseudo rivet
Not enough personnel
finite dragon
Well
pseudo rivet
They're literally contracting Stalkers to work for the Military
finite dragon
They do have a war going on right now
So that's why only Spec Ops are sent to The Zone
If they really wanted to stomp The Zone out, they could, given they weren't at war
Ukraine has a surprisingly large military these days
pseudo rivet
Is there a war going on in the Stalker Lore, though?
robust forge
Exactly
finite dragon
Well, we don't get told much about the world outside of The Zone, so I'd assume it's pretty similar to now
robust forge
But it's still 2012 in stalker
pseudo rivet
The Big Land is pretty much a secret
robust forge
Yeah
pseudo rivet
So assuming we don't hear anything about it, I doubt there's any war
robust forge

robust forge
But you know
finite dragon
Once again my terrible memory fails me
pseudo rivet
Besides, the Zone is under security of homeland security
late bramble
Duty doesn't really have any connection to military, thats just folklore
late bramble
its founders are deserters but the vast majority of dutiers are just stalkers recruited into duty
not ex-military or whatever
pseudo rivet
There are still some ex soldiers who have contacts with the Army
late bramble
Theres no proof of that
pseudo rivet
Just ask the Trader
late bramble
and that dutiers have been seen shooting at military
late bramble
literally no proof aside from folklore, its like barkeep saying using the wishgranter expands the zone
its not true
pseudo rivet
Obviously the stalkers who joined up don't have any contacts
Alright, where Duty would be able to get their RP-74, RPG and Bulldog 6s from?
late bramble
you can say the same about any faction
stalker lore doesnt make sense half the time
its inconsistent and messy
pseudo rivet
Stalkers have contact with the Military and other Big Land traders
Bandits are most likely the black market and stolen goods
Same with Freedom, except for the stolen goods
tight bane
can someone on here help me install Autumnal Winds for CoC
do i just replace files or do i do something Else?

@tight bane hi, you need just copy files(gamedata) from archive to game folder

How do I get freedom role?
iron heathBOT
Auttaja
lunar surge
@tight bane #🔩┃trilogy_modifications
Some Dutiers have contacts with military. It doesn't have to mean that entire faction is now friends with them. Most still hate them because military don't care who is in the Zone, as it is forbidden to be there, so every stalker gets shot at.

Yes, people care about Stalker complete, Lost Alpha, Misery, and OLR they are all fairly decent mods.
late bramble
Complete, Lost Alpha, Misery, and decent in the same sentence is a crime
Those mods are bad
I wouldn't mind LA so much if they didn't claim to be a build mod but throw the story out the window for a fanfic

Anyone who doesn't play OLR 2.5 is a noob
Anomaly is great
Bad word, you must ban yourself

Why you hate anomaly?
shrewd dagger
It's way better than vanilla, vanilla must suck 😃
Best A-Life in the series, doesn't go full retard with its Misery implementation, full open world and CoC's free play which is excellent

hello, i have a doubt about stalker games
i need play all games in order?

Yes, you should play firts shadow of chernobyl, second clear sky and the last call of pripyat

I did the test of the first game and I could not get used to the difficulty.
That's why I have this doubt.

git gud

Well, Call of Pripyat is the easiest of them
But I do suggest playing it like Raum said it

You have to play them in order

You need to

thanks guys, but i not have much time for all 3 games.
I really wanted to choose one as a definite journey.

It's basically a must play for them all
tired anvil

finite dragon
SoC in CNPP is very hardly
shrewd dagger
the franchise is the definitive journey
pseudo rivet
What's hindering you to play them all, Jean?
torn birch
It is not even for the value of the games, both are very cheap.
The problem is my free time even to appreciate them all.
torn birch
And since I saw that the last game is easier for beginners, I do not think it would be so frustrating for me.
Since my time is relatively short nowadays.
torn birch
If you have in mind some mod to soften the difficulty of the first, I would appreciate it.
I'm really interested in playing all three games.
tired anvil
just play them slowly when you have the free time
pseudo rivet
What about Novice Difficulty?
torn birch
But I'm honest with you, I'm really bad at games like that and having little spare time, my patience is not as high as it should be.
But I loved the atmosphere of the game, especially after watching the HBO series Chernobyl.
pseudo rivet
Yeah, Stalker is a game that really should be enjoyed for it's atmosphere, which does take up some time
Did you play the game on Novice?
torn birch
The first game has difficulty selection as the last?
tired anvil
did you find out about stalker from HBO chernobyl?
pseudo rivet
Yeah, all the Stalkers have a Difficulty Setting
torn birch
Not really, I already knew the game from long ago.
I was always thinking of buying, but was afraid just for my time.
Much thanks Comrade!
I will wait for the steam sale and buy the 3 games then 😄
pseudo rivet
The game does ask of you to spend some time in the atmosphere, which also means reading about the lore and hearing the local rumors
So, that might be a bit of a downside, seen your situation
torn birch
The cool thing is to know that all the games have gained support for my language (brazil, portuguese).
Made by fans, then I can fully understand the story.
pseudo rivet
But you can completely skip that, if you want
Hey @tired anvil, doesn't Master Difficulty make both you and the enemy weaker against damage?
torn birch
😄 thanks again comrade 😄
pseudo rivet
Of course
I hope you'll have fun
And welcome to the Zone, Stalker
Oh
Just one small thing
I'm not sure if this is true
Might just be a rumor
But they say that, the higher your difficulty, the weaker both you and your enemies are
Not sure if it's true
But it might make killing your enemies easier
Or harder
torn birch
Thanks for the warning, the sale of steam is in 2 days.
I'll be buying the series.
Any questions I have, I'll be posting here.

barren smelt

I always played on master because I thought otherwise the enemies are spongy af
feral verge
I'd recommend stalker difficulty for a first-time player
Maybe move on to Master after finishing one of the games
The difference isn't too noticeable, but Master is better if you already have a hand on the game and understand its mechanics
late bramble
The myth that higher difficulty results in less spongey enemies comes from a bunch of anecdotes but the facts suggest otherwise
shrewd dagger
You need mods to fix that

u bad

Vanilla is worthless at least after the first playthrough, though I could never possibly recommend vanilla Clear Sky

Vanilla CS is weird in some places
tired anvil
i was surprised by the grenades at first
rest was ok
had some bullet issues near bridge to limansk
robust forge
You know, ADS is less accurate than hip firing on some weapons
shrewd dagger
Some examples: pistols being inaccurate at 20 ft, can take 4 shots from sawn off TOZ-66 at point blank range to kill an unarmored bandit, even rifles are less accurate than airsoft guns
Ultra bullet sponge crap
enemies ignoring damage during the "impair" phase
torn birch
hello again
timber zodiac
Hey, what do you need?
barren smelt
What's the deal with damage anyway
if you play with npc healthbars in CoCk sometimes you will see the health grow or not decrease while you see the npc obviously flinch from damage
so it just means some shots do no damage or just a visual glitch for the hp bar
CoCk is the only one with npc healthbars to my knowledge so I'd love to test it in ||Vanilla|| games
timber zodiac
As far as i know there is not other mod that adds some kind of health bar

Was the Second Disaster of Chernobyl kept a secret to stop people from trespassing onto the Zone?
Or did they literally, just announce it in the public.

I think is in some way stated in the first game that the goverment try to cover and minimize most of what happening in the zone, but the people from the outside knows that something is happening
robust forge
Well, I think that you'd know that something's up if your country suddenly mobilises and makes a huge area an off-limits site
Total off-limits

as always the more you try to cover the evident, more people attention you will get.

it was already off limits since the first explosion, wut

it always was

theyre looking for information

Heh
It can be kinda hard in the beginning
CS has more of a rising curve
I suggest doing The Hit mission first to get the AKM-74/2

Well, I guess CS will be much easier now that I just got the SEVA suit.

There's an upgraded Sunrise
Oh yeah
About getting money
Just a little tip that isn't talked about
The Berill-5m is a good protective armor in the begin of the game
After that, it'll be outclassed by other suits
However
finite dragon
I don't know s about CoP
pseudo rivet
The Berill-5m has the least sprinting cost of all the armor in the game
finite dragon
sorry for the greek
pseudo rivet
No worries
finite dragon
I'll see what I can do with armors.
pseudo rivet
Anyways, you can literally just sprint from one side of the map to the other
finite dragon
I might eventually buy even a SEVA suit in CoP
pseudo rivet
Also a good choice
Even though the Guardian of Freedom combined with the Curtain Helmet gives the same stats, it does weight more, has one less artifact container, but does have good armor and bulletproof protection

Guardian of Freedom, ey?
alright alright.
Once I finish CS, I'm heading straight into CoP.

in terms of atmosphere ShoC wins for me
but gameplay-wise CoP is just more polished
finite dragon
i'm new to the stalker series, never played one of them so that's why i'm asking wich one is better 😃
So do you pefer CoP over shoC?
robust forge
no
I prefer ShoC over CoP
and if you want to start your adventure with stalker, play ShoC first
then CS
and CoP at the end
finite dragon
Allright, thanks for the help dude! 😄
finite dragon
Will do
late bramble
SoC is the best by far
shrewd dagger
This is correct, doesn't even matter though, play any series in order
halcyon nest
I prefer cop over soc
but if you are new in the series start with soc
And then cs
timber zodiac
And lastly cop
lunar surge
Every game series should be started with the first instalment if you are going to play it all anyway
shrewd dagger
Yeah that should go without saying
it's like reading a series of novels backwards
why would you do that

i was thinking could i go to pripyat (in cop of course) for first time with exosuit??
slow thunder
Just bring a bunch of vodka weed and anti psy
Vodka to fight pesky radiation mini dooty soldiers
slow thunder
A true stalker can go in with anything but tbh I kinda forgot what is the dangrous thing in pripyat
slow thunder
Oh yes monolith... dangerous and crazy fellas
Tbf the two of the three should be enough in that aspect
And enough of soviet guns
And ammo
That is vodka and anti psy
burnt fog
ammo oh god

Shhh jester

If you want a dangerous zone without going into soup mod territory, try OGSE I guess
or just try a soup mod like OP2.1

OGSE is one of the God tier mods
Old Good Stalker Evolution, the ultimate SoC overhaul
slow thunder
Hmm it doesnt change gameplay right?
burnt fog
or its standalone?
burnt fog
hmmm ok
slow thunder
Still close to stalker core I guess/hope
shrewd dagger
Greatly improved A-Life, new anomalies (well they come from other mods), seems to have dynamic anomaly spawns that move with emissions, sleeping, impressive shooting mechanics, new maps, some amazing quests, cut mutants, etc
Yes otherwise the slavs would hate it, but they love it
burnt fog
i was thinking i could fast teavel in CoC
slow thunder
Big question
burnt fog
i was wrong xD
slow thunder
Is there a campaign or do they play the original campaign
shrewd dagger
Are you asking about OGSE?
slow thunder
Yes
burnt fog
yup he is
slow thunder
I tried anomaly but itvwas quite boring eventually
shrewd dagger
OGSE is an SoC overhaul so it has SoC's campaign, but it has been expanded a lot
however they thankfully didn't rewrite the stuff from SoC
e.g. dialogues are the same
feral verge
Play New Arsenal )))))
pseudo rivet
A mod for SoC?
burnt fog
nice
pseudo rivet
Now, that's something you don't see every day
shrewd dagger
We are most wise
slow thunder
Gonna play that mod
shrewd dagger

anyone knows good CS mods
shrewd dagger
there aren't any amazing CS mods
slow thunder
Well I have me high class herbs that help me
shrewd dagger
the most modding talent went to SoC and CoP
slow thunder
;)
feral verge
CS modding is actually pretty miserable
pseudo rivet
Yep
feral verge
I don't know why modders overlooked that one so hard
burnt fog
well thats what i thought
slow thunder
CS even though alot hate it I kinda enjoyed it
But I just like killing bandits and exploring so theres that
pseudo rivet
Because it's "the worst" and the most "instable and boring" game of them all
shrewd dagger
I like it more than CoP
pseudo rivet
Without a doubt
slow thunder
Wasnt there a coop mod in development for stalker?
burnt fog
there was i think

Ray of Dope for Freedomers

Pff for monolith as well
All praying to that... trash ahahah

escape form tarkov is pretty good but very long to play

Its not trying to be

well but its nice and realistic

However there is a cheeky cheeki breeki voice command for bear

Well, Ray of Hope is trying to be Escape from Tarkov
slow thunder
Yup that Jester

ray of hope???
slow thunder
A mod

Ray of Hope

Besides, the stalkers use different models

slow thunder
just dont trust those dooty yeah?
that is legit a good question should ask some mods i have no idea how
pseudo rivet
You can @mention a Moderator and ask if you can switch to Freedom
grave sequoia
I want to switch to freedom
slow thunder
yea dom1n have a good sleep:)
pseudo rivet
Freedom, you can ask a Moderator if he/she can change your role
slow thunder
Da bratukha
grave sequoia
Yep
pseudo rivet
I always found it odd that someone called Freedom joined another Faction
slow thunder
i almost joined loner than some1 said ur name is spiritoffreedom da hell u thinking haha
pseudo rivet
I was having second thoughts about joining Clear Sky instead of Freedom
slow thunder
I dont think there is a lot of CS here

Long story short, when im in a faction i tend to change my name to the factions name, i used to be called ClesrSky The Weirdo

Hello fellow stalkers. I assume some you are familar with modding the game so i have a few questions. This mainly revolves around the Misery mod for CoP
Nevermind 😆 there is a mod section.
I'll ask there
slow thunder
Welcome to Freedom @burnt fog!
fair hatch
I wonder how far stalkers would have gotten if Freedom and Duty worked togeather. For a time.
Red forest and Pripyat is no joke.
slow thunder
Well... if they drop their fascist memes we might do that temporarily (we call them facsist and they call us anarchists)

I bought stalker yesterday
I decided to get CoC
Im not really feeling the a-life system
all the characters do is sit around campfires
finite dragon
I dont want to play for the story
I just want to walk around and mess around
and explore
jaunty bronze
you can still do just that in the other games
and the ai isn't gonna be used to their fullest in coc
late bramble
yes
play it in order
SoC, CS, CoP
youre missing out on a lot by jumping straight to a feature and content deprived mod like CoC
shrewd dagger
Otherwise bad things happen to you
late bramble
kinda makes me sad to see how many people completely disregard stalker lore
it goes a lot deeper than people assume
even if it gets pretty messy after SoC
finite dragon
Im mostly interested in gameplay
late bramble
thats fine, you can play however you want to, im just saying the lore exists and its pretty interesting
but you should still play the series in order so you can fully appreciate the stalker series
finite dragon
maybe
Is the a-life system fully present in SoC
?
because thats what is mainly attracting me to the game
late bramble
no its not in any game and most mods don't have full a-life
it does still have a-life
finite dragon
how good is the a-life in the game?
shrewd dagger
Not very impressive unless you use mods
The mods that change the least while buffing A-Life considerably, to my knowledge, are Autumn Aurora 2 and Oblivion Lost
Those don't do anything to the story/campaign
Safe to use on a first playthrough I say
late bramble
oblivion lost adds cars
def not for a first playthrough
and autumn aurora changes gameplay too much
shrewd dagger
I don't think cars are a big deal
and I think the changes in both are universally for the better anyway (well except for autumn themed vegetation)
late bramble
i disagree, but im in the rare camp that likes vanilla gameplay more than most mods
so my opinion bad
shrewd dagger
yes
you are a vanilla purest for all games
vanilla is overrated
Go straight for OGSE 0693
finite dragon
should i play oblivion lost for the best a-life?
robust forge
I think, yeah
shrewd dagger
I don't know, Oblivion Lost 3.1 has problems
Older versions are still around
Go straight for OGSE/OGSR 0693 lol
finite dragon
OGSE/OGSR?
late bramble
dont play OGSE/OGSR on a first playthrough, what the heck jester
OGSE 0693 adds so much
imagine having to go through darkscape on your first stalker game 🤢
burnt fog
go easy monoboi
cloud plank
oh god im still in dark valley, hope OGSe darkscape goes easy on me
finite dragon
should i play hardest difficulty
shrewd dagger
how good are you at FPS
on a scale from Game Journalist to screaming children at tournaments
shrewd dagger
some will, but it's mostly when using inadequate weapons against armor in SoC
finite dragon
oh ok, thanks

i never played ogse before but have played all stalkers with prob like 4k hours combined? and i still dont understand some ogse stuff xD

4k hours wow
even more than me
there's nothing I don't not understand about OGSE
slow thunder
i mean i havent even seen anything news tbh im still in cordon
used to play alot of stalker vanilla tho
big part of my childhood when i was able to play some games when it was bad weather

Hello. I need help. I want to buy Stalker for a friend. We both didn't spend 5 dollar on Steam. So I can't add him to friends Is there any other way I can gift Stalker (the https://store.steampowered.com/sub/35983/ pack) to him?
slow thunder
Buy it on gog?
Or just spend 5 euro on steam and then use that money to donate to him? Idk if that works
finite dragon
to what exten is A-LIFE present in CoC?
timber zodiac
Just the basic, NPC can travel to location and sit to campfire
Like in Call of Pripyat
shrewd dagger
CoC is obsolete, discontinued
But to answer your question, with the right addons it has the best A-Life in the series
Most unrestricted, most features
But use Anomaly instead, which has more features and is still in development and is on a better engine
CoC and Anomaly have dynamic faction relations independent of the player (if you use the addon), AI can interact with the world in more ways than you can
timber zodiac
if you have 64 bits OS of course
shrewd dagger
Who doesn't
timber zodiac
me
shrewd dagger
you should change that ASAP
timber zodiac
Yeah i should most of the games i want to play requers a 64 bits OS to work

you haven't fully experienced STALKER if your game didnt crash, freeze, or have any other kind of problem within the first 20 mins
