Way back, we had people swearing by Misery
Oh, you're new to Stalker?
Vanilla isn't worth it
Play Misery
static dagger
imo it's a requirement for any new player to play vanilla first
because it will make mods that much more enjoyable
static dagger
this "normie" statement by Slavic reminds me of those kids saying "the 19s were better"
"19s music was so much better haha I'm so quirky and cool cause I'm not like most kids"
don't be an elitist, and you'll find it surprisingly easy to enjoy most mods
you don't have to view every single mod through your expert glasses
if its fun, then that's what should matter
no, free play mods aren't perfect
they have many problems
but they're still enjoyable
rancid coyote
Actually I said that people are literally skipping all the nods and playing only one
I wouldn't call my behaviour an elitism

does downloading from a mirror on moddb help at all with the download time?
that's epic
finite dragon
what new game loadout add-ons should i install?
static dagger
he's playing coc, will it work for it?
grand pendant
no, i thought he was talking about Anomaly
right for CoC i never used any loadouts addons so idk
finite dragon
i found a good loadout mod.
Guys i am downloading Call of chernobyl right now and i was wondering if i can combine other mods with coc
Like mod for more weapons (i forgot the name)
arsenal overhaul?
Yeah
yeah you just have to copy the file with (1). then copy the file with (2).
Okay thanks
also copy it to your CoC directory.
Thank you fellow stalker heres your reward:
1 
3 
5000 RU💰
also if you are interested in the outfit add-on, you need to put the gamedata file into CoC directory then the AO3’s (Arsenal Overhaul 3) gamedata into your CoC directory and say yes to all changes.
empty hull
can someone send me a download link to OGSR please
finite dragon
Just google OGSR English edition

thanks
finite dragon
i’d choose CoC over anomaly honestly,

So I've decided to redownload SoC
I changed my mind!
I beat Pripyat my goal is to beat Chernobyl
I need tips though!
and love lots of love ❤️

I agree, nothing like vanilla SoC. Well... There is NS OP-2.1 that beats SoC but it is another world and is not for everyone...
west girder
Explain Scytale

Never heard of it ?
west girder
No
finite dragon
Well, dont die is a tip for every game.
west girder
Dont die is THE tip for everygame, but you know what another good tip is as well?
Save the game
finite dragon
i’m gonna be honest with you.
i love the stalker weapons.
i know i installed arsenal overhaul but i just didn’t like it.
cause the guns didn’t give me a stalker vibe.
ima stick to the default guns.
finite dragon
west girder
The only thing I really want pertaining to stalker in terms of mods is for the Fov to be upped to anywhere from 90 - 120
finite dragon
is there a mod for CoC that fixes the cats? they don’t take damage.
native ibex
Never heard of such a problem
Though the mutants in CoC are a walk in the park compared to Anomaly

I will give you a fireball artifact

@rancid coyote
Do you know the plot and ideology of Lukash in the cancelled S.T.2?
pseudo rivet
tired anvil
@rancid coyote so how much do you want for the translation
grand pendant
@rancid coyote yeah, explain it to us
pseudo rivet
Just in a nutshell and some interesting things
rancid coyote
I'll just tell you that some guys are making a mod based on it
And ok
I can tell shortly
So we have completely new hero
Who used to be a stalker and bones back to the Zone
The entrance is controlled by faction called the Institute
Strelok works there
pseudo rivet
grand pendant
right, sounds fine. The Institute would be kind of military/government faction?
rancid coyote
Ok
Also remember that there were few concepts of this plot
About the main hero
We know that he used to be a stalker 10 years ago
He normally started to live in Big Lands
But he feels something called "the call of the Zone", this was described in books too
You can't live without it
You start having dreams etc
You want to come back
The Institue gives special passes allowing to enter the Zone - it seems like some civilians are allowed to enter the Zone
grand pendant
right, that doesn't sound so good
rancid coyote
We meet Strelok there - he's a nice guy and advices us to contact Swamp Doctor - we all know him
pseudo rivet
Doctor Doctor
grand pendant
Doctor Doc, always liked him
finite dragon
@urban ore are you a bit obtuse? How has freedom done anything towards creating a "free zone"
rancid coyote
He also gives us a package to give it to him
finite dragon
the ones that you keep rrreeeing about, duty, have done more for keeping the zone open than the ones you champion
pseudo rivet
Slavic is trying to tell a story
rancid coyote
We meet local chief of defence
I don't know how to translate it
Boss of security
finite dragon
I can write you an essay if you like
rancid coyote
Unfortunately few minutes before midnight in Strelok's office there is an explosion - probably killing him
Because we were the last person seeing him, we're accused of sabotage by use if the illegal artifact
grand pendant
right, so the package was an artifact?
grand pendant
yeah, i got that
finite dragon
why are you reeeingtards arguing
rancid coyote
We get arrested and some stalker saves us - probably Nimble
You escape to the Zone and divide - you're supposed to meet in one place for a few hours
Unfortunately stalker doesn't appear
Because you don't know what to do, you decide to go to the biggest stalker camp - so called "the City" - Rostok
grand pendant
alright, all feels kinda forced but it doesn't sound so bad. For now
rancid coyote
Remember it's based on simple scenario
Probably GSC wanted to add more stuff later
grand pendant
ah i see
rancid coyote
In the City you go to Barkeep who doesn't want to help you because you're suspected of murder
However he promises to not inform anyone about your presence
pseudo rivet
Yes
tired anvil
Aight thx
rancid coyote
Later we see group of mercs asking Barkeep about our location, but he doesn't tell them
tired anvil
there's actually a video with this now that I think about it
grand pendant
yeah, he said so. But it's in polish right?
grand pendant
hmhm, imma check it out later
rancid coyote
As I see they're pretty similar
rancid coyote
I have it too
tired anvil
At 7min stamp you can hear the Streloks death part
rancid coyote
Continuing
You go with friendly stalkers to look for Doc
You go to Duty base
And in hospital you meet stalker who helped you to escape- probably Nimble
He gives us PDA with earphones
This suggests that in this part PDA wasn't just a magical thing
But more of a Gunslinger stuff
Earphones allow us to have free hands when using the PDA
Nimble says that he knows our companions from somewhere
grand pendant
so you could control the pda with earphones?
rancid coyote
Idk
tired anvil
Nah
rancid coyote
Game magic
tired anvil
More so listen to it I guess
rancid coyote
Yeah
pseudo rivet
To listen to people, yeah
grand pendant
right, sounded weird heh
tired anvil
Like maybe play a part of the encyclopedia or smth whilst walking instead of reading
My guess is it would be related to lore somehow
rancid coyote
Also
We find out that Duty gives old stuff from X-class labs to the institute
Just before we reach Doc's house, Nimble contacts us
He reminded himself about our companions
They're mercs
We can't escape, so we continue our journey
When we reach Doc's house, mercs try to kill us but Doc activates some kind of protective artifact and from nearby bushes run stalker in camo
There is a fight during which we lost our consciousness
When we wake up, Doc explains that Strelok found out about secret project of the Institute
Probably this explosion had to kill uncomfortable witness
The pack we had to hive to Doc contains a card with mysterious symbol
One of mercs had PDA with localisation of merc base
We go there
However on place we find only radio
Voice from it asks us if the job is done
We say yes and we're awaiting for further instructions
Our task is to take some kind of device from freedom technician
In Freedom base there is a conflict
Two traders fight for influence and suddenly a former leader of the faction appeared
He criticises Lukash for abandoning original ideas of Freedom
Technician gives us the device but instead of leaving it in said place, we take detonator
We find out that probably attempt on Strelok's life was made in the same way
Suddenly a bus appears and we activate the device
A bus is full of soldiers in unknown uniforms
With the same symbol as on our card
Gravitational vortex appears and destroys the bus, killing most of the passengers
We shoot the rest of them, however some of them escape
One of them is Chief of the Security
When searching the bodies, we find some documents
We take them to Doc and together with Nimble we go to Barkeep
We're supposed to wait at his contact - major Degtaryev
He wants to meet us in the Institute
To get there, we need to join one of approved by institute stalker groups
You go there by a bus but suddenly you're attacked by mysterious soldiers
You're surrounded so you fight from the inside of the vehicle
When the last enemy is defeated - you lose your consciousness
You wake up at Doc's house
He compares us to Strelok
Degtaryev informs us that Chief if Security has vanished during his investigation
In his office Degtaryev found documents saying about a mysterious, working lab
Document have the same symbol as the soldiers and our card
Degtaryev proves our innocence
We go to a lab
We get undercover
At place we see soldiers and we're supposed to be an Institute's Observer
We see Chief of Security
An alarm starts, we were detected
We take what we can and we run
In documents we find out about the plot between part of Freedom, scientists and military
An installation was supped to be built from parts given by Duty
Freedom members responsible for that are two traders and Lukash
We give documents to Barkeep
Former freedom leader contacts us and asks us for help
If we help him - he'll give us info
Same thing is said by Duty leader
We have three options
Doc's path is to destroy the installation
Duty's path is to use the installation to destroy the Zone
Freedom's part is to use the installation
tired anvil
Hot damn you're still writing
pseudo rivet
He is, yes
tired anvil
Appreciate your effort
pseudo rivet
How is Freedom planning to use it?
grand pendant
sounds pretty nice ngl
rancid coyote
So basically
Installation is supposed to make emissions to create more artifacts and specific areas
And originally plot member wanted to use it to create artifacts in areas controlled by them
For me it sounds a bit stupid
rancid coyote
pseudo rivet
Bruh
grand pendant
right, maybe super emission
rancid coyote
There is also Barkeep, who says we can wait with using the installation
We go to Doc, who is attacked by Lukash and his companions
pseudo rivet
Huh
tired anvil
Freedom being aggressive
pseudo rivet
Why?
tired anvil
Not very free of them 
rancid coyote
Because Lukash is the bad guy here
grand pendant
fair
grand pendant
he and two traders?
rancid coyote
Yes
pseudo rivet
In SoC, he says that you need to fight the Military to prevent the Zone becoming a Zoo
And in this cancelled S.T.2, he does exactly the opposite of what he told you in SoC
grand pendant
he always felt sketchy to me, maybe this makes sense if he never believed his own words
rancid coyote
Also he completely changed the purpose of his faction
It's not about Freedom, it's about opposing duty
pseudo rivet
GSC being bruh with cancelled S.T.2
rancid coyote
Continuing
One of Lukash's companions is Chief of Security
And we can hurt him or we can be stopped by Doc's dog
It's probably effect of our previous decisions
They run
However other Freedomer tells us where did they escape
We go to the installation with our companions
We find out it's a place from our dreams
Sounds kinda cliche to me
pseudo rivet
This whole thing sounds cliché to me
rancid coyote
And now
There is also alternative plot + endings
grand pendant
i like the start, from the middle it goes downhill. However Slav said this was a simple plot, they would have maybe added and changed some stuff
finite dragon
rancid coyote
One of other ideas is that
The stalker who saved us and was our companion
It wasn't Nimble, it was Guide
And after meeting him there was a tutorial section
After that, he tells us where to look for Doc (he says however he hasn't found him) and recommends us visiting Barkeep
Going there would be related with travelling trough territory controlled by loners and bandits
It seems like bandits reorganised themselves after Borov's death
They usually take fees and they don't kill stalkers
grand pendant
usually, i like it ngl
rancid coyote
We can get trough this territory in few ways
- To pay or to give an artifact that we've earned by helping loners
- To join bandits
- To fight with bandits
- To gain enough respect
Also
We can find a suggestion to make plot more like in Tolkien's books
Basically journey is more interesting than the final target
So we could find lots of random activities with different ways of solving them
Something like in RDR2 I suppose
Something more complicated than for example first visit in Garbage in ShoC
Or something like Witcher 3
rancid coyote
When we reach Rostok, Barkeep says that he doesn't know where to look for Doc but he promises to help us if we do some tasks for him
We find out that from unknown reason Freedom has again started to protect the Barrier
pseudo rivet
Like they used to
grand pendant
wait, so from the start of this plot they weren't protecting the barrier?
rancid coyote
They don't allow people to go there
pseudo rivet
pseudo rivet
Uh-oh
rancid coyote
For some reason we want to go to the North
Why? No idea
But we need to
A) join a Faction
B) continue working for Barkeep
Idk
Maybe pure stalker curiosity
pseudo rivet
¯_(ツ)_/¯
rancid coyote
Continuing
Guide contacts us
He's found Doc
When we reach him, Doc advises us to stay neutral
And to try to get to the Deep Zone on our own
A) join Faction B) work for Barkeep C) do on your own
finite dragon
rancid coyote
Swamps that Doc is living on are dangerous, there is lots of anomalies, mutants and we can find only the worst scum in the Zone here
Passage to Cordon is held by bandits cooperating with Military
pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
To get to Cordon you can
A) contact with a group of smugglers
B) support bandits
We do quests etc
And later we have again some options
Sorry, gimme a moment, I'll be back
pseudo rivet
grand pendant
slav explaining in a nutshell
btw i have to go, but thanks for doing all this mate
rancid coyote
I'm back
After making some tasks for Duty we're allowed to see Voronin
He offers us taking over the Barrier
When we'll find out about connections between Freedom and mercs tasks will become more and more aggressive
With storming the Barrier together with Duty members
At the end
For Freedom
We have similar situation like in the first scenario
Former leader has returned and is surprised with what happened to the Faction
finite dragon
how long have you been doing this
rancid coyote
Freedom was changed into duties, paramilitary groups and hierarchy
pseudo rivet
A hour or so
rancid coyote
how long have you been doing this
Over an hour I think
pseudo rivet
Yeah
rancid coyote
Continuing
After doing some tasks
We find out that Freedom is strongly divided and is forced to bug most of its equipment from mercs for suspiciously low prices
We have two options
A) we support former leader and show connections of Lukash and mercs
B) we support Lukash and escape with him to the Barrier
There is also path of Doc and Guide
We are independent and neutral, so we work for both factions
We find out that factions only want to take Centre of the Zone to themselves
We'll meet Garri/Garrik (it seems like it's the same person) who will tell us about freedom and mercs connections
No matter what we choose, the plot is always revealed, Barrier falls and war is over
Character important for the plot reach Pripyat, however noone knows how to reach direct Centre of the zone
We have an idea - maybe Monolith knows how to reach the Powerplant. Map with secret paths can be found in the base on the North
Later we have to choose how to reach the lab
There are few ways to do it
They're described as Good, Chaotic, Neutral and Bad
pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
And now again we have lots of unfinished stuff with lack of information
So basically
Good: we help Zulu to fight with Monolith
Chaotic: together with Vano we go to Centre of the Zone
Neutral: we help Monolith fighters to become free (like with Strider in CoP)
Bad: we help Lukash reach the Centre of the Zone
As I said
We don't know much about this
But no matter what we choose, we always end being alone
In the Centre of the Zone we find another part of Freedom's plot
So called "Izhevsky's Installation"
And Lukash (if we chose Bad option- we reach it with him)
And now we have to make up the final decision
Lukash wants to take revenge on mercs
If we've supported them, they'll contact with us at the end of the game and tell us that Emission made up by this installation probably will kill every living being in the Zone
Endings depend on our previous actions
Good: installation is used to make the Zone weaker (I have no idea how) and after using it, sky becomes red and forms a path to the centre of the installation. We become a legend amongst the duty fighters
Cutscene shows main hero sitting near campfire with other stalkers drinking
In the background we see choppers with special forces landing
Voronin asks his soldiers to holster their weapons. So do loners.
One of military soldiers goes up and talks with Voronin. Soldier is major Degtaryev who sends his report
Chaotic ending: we use the installation with full power, causing not one, big emission but few, smaller but way stronger. We become a legend amongst the freedom members
Cutscene: group of loners and Freedomers is in the cellar. It seems like they've been there for a long time.
Someone, clearing his face out of blood asks: "when this will finally happen?" Then camera shows calm, clear sky and stalkers leaving the cellar. One of them spots weird web-looking thing on nearby bush. Tries to touch it but his hand goes trough it. Suddenly someone shouts: "look! Someone's going here! How did he survive this emission?"
Camera shows exausted main hero reaching the camp
rancid coyote
Neutral ending: installation is destroyed but Zone lives it's own life. Our hero becomes a legend amongst loners.
Cutscene: Main hero stands looking at the sky. It seems like an emission hasn't started yet or it has just ended. We see Doc and his dog. Doc says that for a moment there will be lots of people with more questions than our hero has answers to. Main hero walks away. Doctor stands, looks at the sky and says to his dog: "you know? Her laugh is similar to child's laugh"
Bad ending: installation is properly used and plot members take over it. Main hero gets big salary from mercs.
Cutscene: chopper lands next to the main hero. A man in tuxedo walks out of it and takes our PDA asking if anyone more knows about these events. We say no. Man deletes PDAs memory and says that box from the chopper is ours. We leave the Zone by the chopper, knocking at the box and looking at the bunker.
Ending "Death": Installation is destroyed but main hero unleashes the energy, starting the Great Emission, destroying all the life in it.
Cutscene: main hero leaves the lab, cleaning his face out of blood flowing from his ears and nose. He hears nothing. Checks the PDA - none of the Faction is active, military channel stays that Instiyltute has fallen and all the guards are dead. Main hero turns off the PDA and continues listening to silence
THE END
We have no idea what actions or tasks had influence on the endings
Game was unfinished and there are massive holes in scenario
However, it's a past
Sergiy said that S2 won't have any connections with unfinished continuation

Ah I see, well clear sky is my favorite faction, so I'll hold on to some hope that they'll make a resurgence into the zone

At least some of them

CoC was first
Not Anomaly
Actually most of freeplay mods are based on CoC
Only Doom's Mod Merge wasn't

Well stalker anomaly takes place after CoP
rancid coyote
- So does CoC
- It's a mod - NOT CANON
finite dragon
it takes place in 2018 and despite that nothing has changed
empty wind
I know it's not canon, but a stalker can have hope yeah?
empty wind
Theres always hope
Of course it's a very very small amount
Stalkers laugh and tell jokes and gather around the campfire for a reason
Cuz theres a small chance they can finally find that one artifact so they can retire
That's what keeps them going and also the brotherhood they develop throughout their journeys
Ah, sorry for texting so much, it's my first day on this channel

We're going to cut off crimson's internet

yes

The best faction in Anomaly is Monolith
Because you don't have to deal with Monolith

CS is arguably the best stalker game

SoC had the best atmosphere
CS had the best maps
CoP had the best gunplay
best maps?
ember dew
CS and CoP gunplay are basically the same
ember dew
limansk and red forest are cool tho
finite dragon
The models in CS are garbage so it's hard to aim down sights
CoP is a little better
SoC’s gunplay is pretty fast-paced to the looks of it.
Soc's gunplay is alright
It's fun
ember dew
sprint to enemy and shotgun his face

you basically play as a racing car

how do i kill a chimera
plush rapids
shoot it
static dagger
dodge sideways when it faces you
jump to the side when you see it's about to leap
and while it's repositioning for another attack you attack it
rinse and repeat
in my experience, this method works with up to 3 chimeras attacking you
plush rapids
that's the more detailed answer yes
static dagger
I like your name private :D
plush rapids
Are they armored at all?
🆗
👌
I'm almost certain the big walking heads have armor, same with boars, but maybe it's just confirmation bias
static dagger
I dont know about if they're armored or not but I don't think they have any weak spots like pseudogiants or boars
.... stupid autocorrect
they're just well rounded leaping machines
dodge, shoot, dodge, shoot
basically
plush rapids
the best weapons will be shotguns, obviously
best time to aim is when they leap at you
just wait for the leap, don't bother trying to face shot them
finite dragon
ayy, so since the C-Consciousness was destroyed. Charon leads the Monolith now?
plush rapids
monolith leads the monolith
shadow venture
clear sky had the worst gunplay out of all the 3 games
and a lot of poorly implemented features
and glitches
that makes the game extremely hard to both difficulties
novice and master
so yeah
not the best game
ShoC is the classic one we all like and love
and CoP is the most fun one but have terrible main missions that are less scripted than side quests
which are way better
shadow venture
it's a swamp simulator till you reach yanov
and it gets truly serious when you reach pripyat
finite dragon
and there are only three areas.
shadow venture
they are very explorable tho
but pripyat felt the most empty thing i've ever seen
finite dragon
they felt pretty linear to me.
yeah, monolith only spawn when missions are activated.
shadow venture
well clear sky is the same thing
finite dragon
Pripyat is an empty mess.
shadow venture
there is only 1 place that has monolith spawns
but they don't respawn
also it says that if you kill jackal mercs would spawn in buildings around pripyat
but i haven't seen any
finite dragon
i was pretty disappointed about CoP.
shadow venture
at least it's better than clear sky
lul
bandit faction missions felt like playing a game on ps2 with a damaged disk
the storyline is good tho
shadow venture
soc IS the best
shadow venture
clear sky is a clusterfu
plush rapids
legit, i could probably punch harder than it hits
shadow venture
and call of pripyat had a weak story
soc isn't a clusterfu and has a good history
i wish gunslinger was compatible with ShoC
though
some missions in CoP with gunslinger felt unfairly difficult and i don't like that
also something good about cop is the endings
there's also that thing of the zone changing due to your actions
plush rapids
the only one that matters is that you save the puppers
shadow venture
example how chimeras and pseudogiants spawn naturally once you complete the hunter missions
Yeah
i never tried to kill noah
but his dog tried to kill me thought so i had to talk to him fast to get some quest items before getting ripped apart
and this only happens in the stalker difficulty
at least for me
feral verge
Someone played vanilla stalker for the gunplay?
It's absolutely atrocious in all three of the games
It just gets away with being jank because it feels weirdly cohesive with the rest of the game
Like it fits in for some inexplicable reason
hushed current
I find it to be solid the only problem is that whenever you aim down sights and fire your gun kicks up making it hard to see where your shooting but I understand it was for realism and I got used to it
feral verge
I don't have any problems with the recoil because it's pretty intuitive
The spread and lack of oomph in the guns are much bigger problems
finite dragon
Apparently vorpX supports CoP, CS, and LA
so i guess if you wanna play stalker in vr
feral verge
Not SoC?
finite dragon
Oddly enough no
finite dragon
WHO summons me
west girder
I do summon thee!
tired anvil
Twas me
finite dragon
what mod do you need help with
finite dragon
most mods that arent standalone merely require dropping the included "gamedata" folder into an unmodified copy of SoC
west girder
Alright thank you comrade
finite dragon
if it has more than a gamedata folder, like a bin folder or other stuff also drop that in
every file related to the mod just drops into the root SoC folder, usually adding a gamedata folder
tired anvil
Now you just need master
finite dragon
are there any masters in the server

Only need to repeat the amount of messages you wrote in the past year
If it was pure messages, it would be a lot different, but mee6 counts it differently
Yeah
LIke it only counts 1 message per minute
So anything we write until the next minute doesn't count at all
Yeah, and there's some specific people who spam stuff just to level up
Nah
If everyone was spamming there anything to level up, it would probably get flooded with some not good stuff in there
tired anvil
When you reach level 10
Ah nice
Amnesia doing this his thing again
Sorry if I somehow threatened your individual property rights by saying what I did
finite dragon
whats going on
tired anvil
Lol
finite dragon
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not my STALKER DISCORD MESSAGES YOU DONT OWN THOSE I DO
tired anvil
¯_(ツ)_/¯
finite dragon
how
tired anvil
?
finite dragon
sskk..
tired anvil
Ok
tired anvil
No
finite dragon
ok
finite dragon
wait - these levels
Are these the ones that MEE6 bot sends to PM a notification about?
tired anvil
Yeah
finite dragon
mmm
1 more level
also
take off my server nickname pls, my username no longer contains a swear word))
tired anvil
You want your name to just be Igor in Latin letters?
finite dragon
USSR symbols at start and end ;D
those symbols remind me that in the past work was hard and pay was low, but everyone was happy)
tired anvil
It still is in Lithuania
finite dragon
☭
mmm...
wait, how do I know how much XP I need?
to level up
with the bot?
freedom suc
shadow venture
in 5 years i get the legend of the zone role
shadow venture
says the dude in monolith lol
monolith is only badass because 85% of the members there were from clear sky
but they still had balls to go to the CNPP
unlike all the other factions
not really
i mean scar is way more tough than strelok if you look how hard clear sky is
also strelok helped the loners and duty a lot
and both of the factions never went to the CNPP
clear sky is still badass, and is even more when they have scar
they still went to the CNPP
they could have just sent Scar there
finite dragon
scar..., sjdkdkks
Monolith is cool cause they are
creepy the first time you encounter them
imagine
You play CoP
shadow venture
for really
finite dragon
No one cares,,, if its living you kill,,,
for the 1st time
you come to the place in Pripyat
to the book store
finite dragon
you see them just laying on the ground
Sitting***
Be monolith...
Kill the everyone
and just attempting to communicate with c-consciousness
shadow venture
they were far away from the MG
shadow venture
they got slaugheted by the monolith
shadow venture
also clear sky is still badass
finite dragon
also tbh Monolith should not be hostile to all factions
for example...
Ecologists and Loners
shadow venture
yeah
finite dragon
Clear sky is made up by idiotic soviet scientists..
How do they intervene with the destruction of the zone?
finite dragon
they could do something like in Lost Alpha
shadow venture
they were standalone
finite dragon
if you wanted to pass Radar
You have to pay up
Man, who cares this is just meaningless made up lore,,m
Yeah, they are monolit now
shadow venture
i also don't think monolith should kill everything it sees
finite dragon
Yeah
shadow venture
because if it was like that it wouldn't get members
shadow venture
even if it has 85% of clear sky's members
finite dragon
Want to join Monolith?
shadow venture
they still need more
finite dragon
Cause they have nothing to lose?
Mann...
And want to help the zone without being a crapppy freedom member
You know nothing
Who ever said this..
idk
just speculating
shadow venture
also if monolith knew freedom's intentions
finite dragon
The clear sky were in the trucks not monolith,.
shadow venture
they wouldn't attack them unless it's for territory
finite dragon
Yeah...
I would imagine them not being enemies
but not exactly friends
You know nothing with your meaning? Made up lore. You're wrong,
Similarly to how it's with military in Lost Alpha
Similarly to how it's with military in Lost Alpha
@finite dragon Lost alpha is a mod.
yeah
With many great ideas
NOT COUNTED AS LORE
yeah
shadow venture
but how it would get more members then
finite dragon
And they don't care if they pose a threat
Which they should
You contradicted your argument.
Both.
being a freedom member would finally be useful lmao
Ohhhh... monolith should not shoot!! Oh, monolith should shoot on site now?
shadow venture
duty would become extremely rival to monolith
shadow venture
while freedom would just watch they slowy kill themselfes
finite dragon
yup...
Freedom have the tunnels.
Maybe Duty will make a huge connection with the military
The cave/tunnels.
cause in the previous 3 games there was a connection, though it was not so strong I suppose?
shadow venture
duty has a connection with the military
shadow venture
seriously look at the duty's equipment
finite dragon
Cause if Duty like hired Military to help clear out territories
with choppers
and assaults assisting duty
Yeah
or let Duty have choppers
shadow venture
i think both duty and freedom are influenced by the military
finite dragon
Well, you could say that Duty is the same as Military, just not official?
I guess
idk
Duty doesn't have anything to do with the Military apart from being ex-Military members.
@midnight wagon The major shooter range guy.. only mentions KRYLOV has spetznaz leader conenctions for gear.
Nothing else,
shadow venture
but mostly of the normal military in SoC and CS is corrupt
finite dragon
Duty and military shoot eachother on site.
shadow venture
except in COP since you only are in the centre of the zone
finite dragon
Lost Alpha has a lot of great ideas
shadow venture
also clear sky to me is still one of the toughest factions in the whole series
even if it's made up of nerds
finite dragon
Dude, its made up of the Group
shadow venture
there's still seasoned stalkers there
finite dragon
We need a place where people's lore gets straightened out.
@midnight wagon Some secret lores and details are mentioned in side dialogues.
shadow venture
LOL NO
finite dragon
If you read often like me
finite dragon
Yea, but some are parts of The Group
shadow venture
the monolith did
finite dragon
Dude, its made up of the Group
@finite dragon Only suslov lebedev and kalancha are group.
Well yeah
only 3
but still
shadow venture
ive never saw any connections to them in the group
shadow venture
there was only administrative files that didn't had everything in
and i couldn't find that file
in all my walkthroughs
finite dragon
I thought I did not like the bar music when I played cause it felt out of place
shadow venture
i did
finite dragon
but then I read the lyrics and it just made me realize that the music means I am back in safety
shadow venture
but i think i couldn't find one
because it only said about some tests and about how lebedev participated on the gauss rifle project
i just don't know where the group file is
finite dragon
Item 62 man))
Guys, is it only me
Or is the Agroprom underground way creepier than Lab X16?
The one with the "Miracle Machine"?
tired anvil
Is this a faction was going on rn
finite dragon
Yet you walk around
tired anvil
war*
finite dragon
And hear these metal bumpings and mutants
If you play for the 1st time
And come down the stairs even more
Boxes
Flying at you
I just pretty much S**t my pants the 1st time ;D
I got scared
shadow venture
it was creppy but what actually scared me was when an military dude fired at me when i least expected
tired anvil
From CoP?
tired anvil
That part was pretty cool
shadow venture
only igor
tired anvil
Personally I don't
finite dragon
Idk, just moment of surprise I guess
shadow venture
what actually scared me was 16
finite dragon
No, I am just creeped out by places underground
tired anvil
Bloodsucker village was cool
shadow venture
x8 would be creepier than x16 if it had no zombified stalkers there
shadow venture
it's chaser 13 time
it's not scary since mostly of the players are likely going to enter this place thanks to that quest
grouse's quest
yeah
also a truly creppy underground would be one with no bodies
and no zombified stalkers
just an deadly silence
with several creppy mutants wandering around the place like it's normal
jupiter factory felt the most empty and depressing place out of all the 3 games
slighty scary but not at the point of making the player freak out
which bug
tired anvil
The thing that actually scared me was when a renegade jumped out of nowhere in the swamps in CS
Jumpscared me lmao
shadow venture
controllers are less scary than bloodsuckers but they are way more powerfully
specially with that ability of theirs to make you commit suicide
shadow venture
it got removed in all the 3 games but is restored in mods like gunslinger
finite dragon
Yeah, it was pretty creepy
tired anvil
controllers are less scary than bloodsuckers but they are way more powerfully
waiting for Silvans
finite dragon
but not as much as X8 or X18
tired anvil
That's the chad mutant
shadow venture
@midnight wagon how's that scary?
finite dragon
I mean you just walk in
Its depressing
Jupiter is frustrating bc of dogs in CoP
Also the doggo
Also the doggo which duplicates itself)))))
psy-doggo)
finite dragon
The most depressing map has to be ShoC cordon
shadow venture
it's weird how the npcs react normal to that
yeah in cordon you can pretty much find dead bodies everywhere
shadow venture
also ironic how pripyat underground is less scarier than the jupiter factory (entrance)
