gusty trench
untold temple
#

im gonna be replaying stalker Call of Pripyat

#

should i get the friend of freedom or the friend of duty

gusty trench
#

It only changes what will Hawaiian sell and how much will repair and upgrades be

untold temple
#

i guess ill go for duty

#

on my first run i got friend of stalkers on accident

#

and i had to just deal with it i guess

midnight nest
#

So I just bought all Stalker Games on sale

#

What are the must have mods for SOC ?

hushed aurora
#

Play Vanilla first

still ridge
#

play vanilla or install ZRP

midnight nest
#

I see

#

Was thinking of an arsenal pack or a damage mod first

solid dome
#

If you want to hook yourself... install only ZRP if you have issues

#

Otherways - don't

mortal gull
#

Guys, what do I do when the camp near spawn is under lockdown?

gusty trench
#

Uh...

#

What game is it?

mortal gull
#

Call of pripyat.

#

I'm new to it.

gusty trench
#

Did you listen to voice? He said you to put your weapon down

mortal gull
#

No.

solid dome
#

The one with the cheeky bandits making requests?

mortal gull
#

I know that, but, I shot a bandit next to the camp, and then the entire camp went underlockdown.

solid dome
#

Camp near spawn
is too broad

#

Which camp and which spawn?

mortal gull
#

When you first start the game.

#

You spawn and walk forward a little theres a massive boat and when you go in theres a bunch of stalkers its like a safe place.

hushed aurora
#

Skadovsk

solid dome
#

Oh the boat above Skadovsk

#

Or actual Skadovsk?

#

If you're goin guns blazing in Skadovsk... you do it wrong

mortal gull
#

I'm new.

solid dome
#

Skadovsk is your only real place to stay, in Zaton

#

Never shoot the guys there, even though some are nasty/evil

mortal gull
#

I jusst started my play time is like 30 mins and the entire time I'm just chilling there.

#

Where's Skadovsk?

solid dome
#

That's the big ship in the swamp

mortal gull
#

Around all those wheat?

solid dome
#

Yeah

mortal gull
#

It's under lockdown, thought.

solid dome
#

You shot someone then

mortal gull
#

I shot some bandits near the ship outside.

solid dome
#

Even though weapons arent allowed inside

#

Might be some of the guys gone for a walk and you killed him

#

Poor lad

mortal gull
#

I'm all about the sausages:)

solid dome
#

😄

mortal gull
#

So when will the lock down end?

solid dome
#

Just go around and collect anomalies to sell for money

#

Should be back to normal in a while

#

If ever...

#

I never opened fire around Skadovsk or some of its people

#

...I think

mortal gull
#

Alright.

#

Is night dangerous, btw?

solid dome
#

It is, depends

#

Pseudodogs walking around

#

Will scare you shotless

#

Be prepared to listen carefully

#

Sounds play a big part

#

You can stumble upon either bandits or pseudodogs in Zaton

#

If you do, well... shoot like mad when in the open or take cover. Rock, tree, anything

mortal gull
#

Also, is it worth doing the Mercenary camp quest?

solid dome
#

Sure. Do as you see fit.

#

Anything is worth to try in STALKER

mortal gull
#

Yeah, just askin' cause I'm a noob, so maybe It's a hard quest, y'know.

solid dome
#

Should you skip quests, play them on 2nd playthrough

#

I'm not spoiling anything

#

Try it out, save before you do in case you have to load earlier point

mortal gull
#

Also, you got any tips on what to do as a beginner?

solid dome
#

Tips... I'm not good at that. Maybe...

mortal gull
#

Anything that you did as a noob?

solid dome
#
  1. Try to collect artifacts, sell them to Beard or do his artifact hunt quests
  2. Have at least 2 medkits, 2 bandages and 2 antirads
  3. Carry only what you need, sell the rest
#

Maybe have energy drink for those... run like hell moments

#

lol

#

In Yanov you have a storage box, can stash stuff there

mortal gull
#

Also,

solid dome
#

That after Zaton

mortal gull
#

you know why I run out of sprint real fast?

solid dome
#

Hmm

#

Check your armor maybe

#

But then again you said you just started

#

You have only the cheap stuff

#

Its how usually the sprint system works

#

You have to stop, take a breath and do it again, or... as I said

#

Use energy drink

mortal gull
#

Well, I do have 7 weapons.

solid dome
#

It makes you sprint 60 seconds longer

mortal gull
#

12 Actually.

solid dome
#

12 weps?

mortal gull
#

Yea.

solid dome
#

Sell ones you find useless

#

I usually keep 2 weps tops

#

SMG/SG perhaps

#

Shotgun for those pesky mutants

#

Fill em with lead, yo

mortal gull
#

DB, or the 7 shot one?

solid dome
#

Db usually works well in the beginning

#

Honestly...

#

I'm not too good at loadout sorting

#

I just pick what I find best for the scenario I'm doing

#

Either quest, raid or something

#

This makes me thing I haven't tried PMm only run in SoC

mortal gull
#

So what do I do with money?

solid dome
#

PMm is STALKER's magnificent, triumphant pistol

mortal gull
#

Well, I can buy stuff, I know.

#

But their cheap, any expensive stuff I can buy?

solid dome
#

Save for suit

wary cove
solid dome
#

Advanced suits cost quite a lot

mortal gull
#

Where can I buy 'em?

solid dome
#

Further in the game is better

#

Zaton is usually a calm place

#

One general tip: don't buy crab

mortal gull
#

Not in the wheat areas.

solid dome
#

Ya

#

Starting loc called Zaton, is all I'm saying

mortal gull
#

I see bunch of dogs.

#

Also I got bitten by some alien.

#

Scared me ngl.

solid dome
#

Edit out the swear word

mortal gull
#

He can turn invisible too.

solid dome
#

Not allowed to swear here

#

:v

#

You're yet to see a chimera

mortal gull
#

Weird, since the game is 18+.

solid dome
#

Will make you dig your grave then eat worms

#

Or even worse

#

Make canned food of yourself

mortal gull
#

How?

solid dome
#

Those things tend to be freaky, takes a tactic to kill em

#

Anyways

#

Up to you to decide how you play

mortal gull
#

Hmm, from what I saw it was standing.

solid dome
#

Try it one style, then try differently

#

Endless amount of replayability

hushed aurora
mortal gull
#

Okay, should I always return to Skadovsk?

solid dome
#

Blin!

#

Skadovsk goes your only place to trade, sleep, take quests, until you travel to Yanov through the Guide (your travel buddy)

hushed aurora
#

And take quests

#

After you've completed most of Zaton you can move on to Jupiter

#

But that's for later

solid dome
#

Yeah, Jupiter, Yanov, etc

mortal gull
#

@hushed aurora Woah, thanks, now I now how those crap heads look like who kidnaped that guy in a bunker, I'm not dealing with them.

solid dome
#

lol

mortal gull
#

No for real.

#

I thought it was a LEGIT bloodsucker.

solid dome
#

Exact same reason I told you to keep a shotgun in yourself

hushed aurora
#

They can be killed easily tho

solid dome
#

Blast em in the face

mortal gull
#

Like those little worm thingys.

hushed aurora
#

Aslong as you can adapt your eyes to see them while they are invisible

#

Shotguns should be effective enough

mortal gull
#

I couldn't I was walking and he just popped up infront of me and the next thing I know I'm staring at the sky then he just dissapeared and I lost a little bit of health.

wary cove
#

smile_degtyarev they may be annoying but easy to deal with
Just watch out your back

solid dome
#

Them tentacles serve a purpose

hushed aurora
#

To suck

solid dome
#

Let the bloodsucker lick you to taste your flavor

hushed aurora
#

You took one of the quests?

wary cove
#

smile_degtyarev he just wants a hug

mortal gull
#

@hushed aurora Taking info from the mercenary camp is my quest, should I go do it, theres a thunderstorm rn too.

hushed aurora
#

You should be kinda prepared for that

solid dome
#

I'll leave you play

hushed aurora
#

Since you are gonna have to kill them and such

solid dome
#

My advices often don't help

hushed aurora
#

But yeah go play for yourself

#

It's the best

mortal gull
#

How much are there?

solid dome
#

May The Zone grace you with luck aplenty

hushed aurora
#

like

#

6

#

or 7

mortal gull
#

Easy, I popped 15 bandits already, this shouldn't be hard.

hushed aurora
#

They are more prepared than bandits i can tell you that

mortal gull
#

With the power of the vodka I stole and cheeki breeki I will defeat them

wary cove
#

There's another merc camp at a place named substation workshop
Don't kill them, bring them the items they need and they will help you later on

mortal gull
#

Okay.

#

Well I'm poppin' a vodka and goin' to pop some mercenaries

solid dome
#

Kek

wary cove
#

Good luck

solid dome
#

Pop em funks

mortal gull
#

Thanks.

solid dome
#

I'll pop myself out too

#

Gotta take care of the crop

wary cove
#

👋

mortal gull
#

Bye!

#

I'll also go to the nearby Plateau since It's in my way.

edgy spindle
#

@pseudo rivet Can you help me out here?

#

Some guy is insisting that the exoskeleton protects and the radsuit isn't as good as the exoskeleton

#

The exoskeleton is the frame and doesn't protect right?

gusty trench
#

You mean... SEVA?

edgy spindle
#

?

gusty trench
#

the exoskeleton protects and the radsuit isn't as good as the exoskeleton

edgy spindle
#

Not SEVA

#

He's saying that the radiation suit doesn't protect as much as the exoskeleton

#

even though I'm pretty sure the exoskeleton is just the frame

gusty trench
#

Ah. Got you.

edgy spindle
#

and the radsuit is what actually protects

#

Right?

gusty trench
#

Radsuit protects you from radiation, chemicals and that kind of crap better than exo, you know. Exoskeleton is more about armor - firefights and raids (also looting)

edgy spindle
#

what

#

Isn't the exoskeleton the frame?

leaden hamlet
#

Anomaly separates the two, but in the base games there's only the full unit referred to as the 'Exoskeleton'. So technically no, the whole system is referred to as the 'Exoskeleton' and the actual lifty-bits are the servomotors.

sage badge
#

the exoskeleton makes you stronger therefore you can put more armor on yourself

edgy spindle
#

I'm reffering,lore-wise,the exoskeleton is just the frame,so it doesn't protect right?

ivory sandal
#

The exoskeleton is better anyways

#

You can just upgrade it to have a rad filter in cop and clear sky

#

Or whatever it’s called. I haven’t played either of the games in a bit

leaden hamlet
edgy spindle
#

That's what I'm saying

mortal gull
#

Should I go to the ranger station?

edgy spindle
#

Is there anyway to find the ISG Build Intro?

finite dragon
#

@grand pendant Mind helping Kirby out? hmm_cheeki

leaden hamlet
#

Generators is such a cool map. 😁

opaque parrot
#

@edgy spindle I'm playing Anomaly for example. The Rad suit is much more efficient than the exo. Sprinting is possible, it has good resistance to chemicals and such and it proves it self a lot usefull in combat.
Exo only increases carry capacity

#

Sure Exo has it's ups too but Rad suit is my favorite definitely

#

As for vanilla, there is no Rad suit (except the ones the NPCs wear), so in vanilly Exo is the best

edgy spindle
#

I was asking lore-wise

#

but yes,then my theory is correct

#

also,save up some money and upgrade your exo so you can run

edgy spindle
#

Since I am almost sure that Build 3120 only had Swamps

#

I'm downloading Build 3120,I'll try to see if it's ingame,if not I'll search the files

opaque parrot
#

Lore-wise or not, Rad suit is better imho

edgy spindle
#

Well the exoskeleton allows you to carry more weight

#

so you just need to upgrade the servomotors to run

lone leaf
#

Guys it went from clear to heavy dark clouds really really fast just now where's my anabiotics

pseudo rivet
#

@edgy spindle
His first problem is calling the Heavy Armored Suit / Heavy Military Bulletproof Suit a "Radiation Suit"

mortal gull
#

You better get 'em out before you die.

pseudo rivet
#

The second problem is him considering mod stats to actually be logical

#

Which they aren't

#

Lore-wise, all an Exoskeleton would allow you is to carry more equipment and to have more upgrade options

#

Like, if it didn't have the exoskeleton, it would only have 3 of the 5 upgrade trees available

mortal gull
#

What's happening?

pseudo rivet
#

Not much, talking about the difference between a Heavy Armored Suit and an Exoskeleton

still ridge
#

Heavy armored suits aren’t obtainable are they?

pseudo rivet
#

Nah

#

Man, I'm being drunk

still ridge
#

Been a while since I played vanilla SoC or CoP

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, they're unobtainable

still ridge
#

Would imagine they’re just exoskeletons without servomotors

pseudo rivet
#

But technically, they would be like the Exoskeleton, but the first and the fourth upgrade tree wouldn't be there

still ridge
#

Right

finite dragon
#

Crimson, so an exoskeleton is a frame on top of a Heavy Armored suit AKA Radsuit?

pseudo rivet
#

Radsuit?

#

You mean a SEVA Suit

finite dragon
still ridge
#

Yes

finite dragon
#

No, I mean lead plates sewn together

#

Sewn

pseudo rivet
#

Or well, the Monolith Radiation suit

#

Which isn't an armor

still ridge
#

By definition

finite dragon
#

But yeah, getting back, the exoskeleton is a frame on top of a Heavy Armored suit, right?

pseudo rivet
#

Only a piece of the Monolith Armor set

tired anvil
#

@pseudo rivet ight lore man. I've a task that you might either find interesting, or completely boring. Are you up for it?

pseudo rivet
#

Obviously

#

Sure

finite dragon
#

@edgy spindle Confirmed now

pseudo rivet
#

Already confirmed it

finite dragon
#

Yes, my friend still wanted to ask zak

tired anvil
#

Alright so. Reasons why objectively every faction is best in the Zone in their own ways. If you can't think of something for one, just write “skipped” or something similar

pseudo rivet
#

Ah, that's nice

#

Sure, I'll do that

#

Problem is the PoV

finite dragon
#

I'll learn something too 👀

tired anvil
#

Since it's objectively, all POV's are taken into consideration

finite dragon
#

Crimson's gonna make a big list now 👀

still ridge
#

Duty: they do what they think is best for humanity

hushed aurora
#

Military: They are just doing their job zak

tired anvil
#

Wouldn't make them the best zak

finite dragon
#

I just noticed

#

Wait nvm

hushed aurora
#

They are trying their best to confront the situation caused by the appearance of such massive anomalous zone

#

Can't come up with anything else

finite dragon
#

They have the best equipment I guess zak

#

Or not?

#

Are Mono above the military?

tired anvil
#

Monolith literally has the Gauss Rifle sooo yea

finite dragon
#

Ah right

#

CRAP

hushed aurora
#

Mono has Gauus os yea

finite dragon
#

caps

#

Yeah, forgot

hushed aurora
#

Slow type

finite dragon
#

And the Ukrainian Military have like...

#

Uh

#

Oh, nothing feels_bad_stalk

hushed aurora
#

AKM 74/2

pseudo rivet
#

HinD

hushed aurora

And helicopters

#

Armored vehicles

and i type slow af

pseudo rivet

Kewl jeeps

finite dragon

Many soldiers too ig

¯_(ツ)_/¯

pseudo rivet
#

Drugs

#

Nice weapons

finite dragon
hushed aurora
#

kek

pseudo rivet
#

So, did Rebel just become the second Link?

finite dragon
#

They are also really really competent.

hushed aurora
#

Christmas Link

pseudo rivet
#

Fair enough

hushed aurora
#

Either that or Link with the Red Tunic plus Christmas Hat

finite dragon
#

Yo guys, Flint is so cool - he has been to the Oasis, found some maps for Pilot and hell, even cleared out the bloodsucker lair in Zaton

pseudo rivet
#

@tired anvil
Do corrupt members count?

#

Probably not

#

Mostly asking because of the Military

tired anvil
#

Not quite, but not like the points will be trashed or judged or anything. Pretty much anything goes

pseudo rivet
#

Welp, this'll be a big list

sly viper
#

days go by, any event or date for the next info dumb for S2?

tired anvil
#

Not really no. GSC will be at Games Gathering, but they sorta said that the event won't really be about S2

sly viper
tired anvil
#

Not like we haven't been starving since before the announcement smile_scar

pseudo rivet
#

I should probably write actual points, instead of writing a summary

#

Whoops zak

tired anvil
pseudo rivet
#

||Monolith
Monolithians believe in the Monolith, an alien crystal located in the center of the Zone. They believe that this meteor is a genetic module that brought the beginnings of new life from other planets to the Zone, giving the landscape of the Exclusion Zone life and consciousness. They also claim that this mysterious crystal was able to grant the wishes of Stalkers. They deemed themselves the protectors of the Zone, preventing anyone from reaching the Monolith.||

finite dragon
tired anvil
#

Ok yea, not really points at all lmao

pseudo rivet
#

Yup

#

Not points

tired anvil
#

Gonna bother retrying?

pseudo rivet
#

Doing so right now

tired anvil
#

Alr

pseudo rivet
#

Still, I guess that's a summary for those who don't understand the Monolithians

lean ember
#

Manalit

#

My favourite faction

finite dragon
#

And yes, I do teach a couple of my friends stalker lore

pseudo rivet
#

Uh-oh

finite dragon
#

That's why I ask you so many questions, Crimson zak

#

I just want to make sure

#

That I don't talk crap to them

tired anvil
#

How about you actually let them complete the games first zak

#

Nah let's just force everything onto them lmao

finite dragon
#

Well, they do complete the games

#

Most of them at least

#

But like, they still miss out some stuff

#

Or count bugs/build remnants canon

#

For example

#

Freedom hostile to Ecologists

#

Found out because they went to the wiki, then I gotta tell them why it's not supposed to be like that

#

And well

#

Pointing out stuff which some didn't notice

#

Hell, a friend of mine completed stalker soc with barely reading the dialogues

#

Besides, the stalker lore interests me cool_story_sidor_ross

#

man

#

i just want to see the models....

tired anvil
#

You got bread smile_degtyarev

finite dragon
#

!!!!

#

TRUE

#

oh god

#

i wanna see sidrovich!

tired anvil
#

If we see him at all cry

finite dragon
lean ember
finite dragon
#

Yeah, don't do that zak

#

I mean, I told my friend a bit about stalker, he seemed interested

#

I explained more of the lore to him

#

He bought it

#

He liked it

lean ember
#

Thats waht i did

finite dragon
#

Aye

lean ember
#

Just exaggerating it really

#

Lol

finite dragon
#

Well, if he likes them, then I guess it's not all so bad

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lean ember
#

I explained the game, showed him it, then bought him it

trail arrow
#

Are we getting some new images / mini trailers for Holidays... need my Stalker 2 dose 😊

finite dragon
#

Yea

#

i got the same question

#

@pseudo rivet Sorry to disturb, but Monolith Preachers didn't exist before the events of CoP? The Monolithians with Gauss rifles before the CC got cucked were just snipers, right?

#

Just want to confirm that I'm not missing something zak

edgy spindle
#

Good question,we don't see them ingame if I recall correctly

#

Did they exist before CoP though?

#

Like,lore-wise

finite dragon
edgy spindle
#

Preachers

finite dragon
#

A

edgy spindle
#

Before CoP

finite dragon
#

Yeah

#

Mayb Gajunas knows

#

Wait nvm

#

Crimson is here feels_good_stalk

pseudo rivet
#

Well, Preacher is just the name the community has given them

#

Officially, that dude is just the leader of that group

edgy spindle
#

So basically squad leader?

pseudo rivet
#

In a way, yes

finite dragon
#

What about the 2 others which spawn on roofs of apartament buildings during the Evacuation mission?

#

Are those gauss snipers, I don't remember them preaching kuznetsov

pseudo rivet
#

I actually never had that

edgy spindle
#

So,that opened my mind a lot

finite dragon
#

You didn't? hmm_cheeki

pseudo rivet
#

So, I'm not sure if that's just a wiki thing or not

finite dragon
#

Guess you'll replay CoP smile_strelok

#

I had them

pseudo rivet
#

Oh, you had?

#

Nice

#

What armor?

finite dragon
#

They were kinda wack - barely hitting anything, took me a while to notice them there

#

I don't even remember - they were so small, but I think they used the heavy armor

#

OR wait

#

I can download a save file from the internet

#

Take a close look

#

At them

pseudo rivet
# edgy spindle So,that opened my mind a lot

Anyways, Kovalsky called him the head honcho of that area and they saw him holding a sermon for his men. We can't be totally certain what his rank was in the Monolith, but he was definitely a high-ranking member

finite dragon
#

But then again, this probably won't prove much

#

talking about downloading the save file

edgy spindle
#

@pseudo rivet Can you answer something really quick and really dumb?

pseudo rivet
#

At your service

edgy spindle
#

What armors are variations of the mercenary suit,only the bandit suit right?

#

bandit suit I mean the brown merc one

finite dragon
#

Or as mods call it, Bandit LC

pseudo rivet
#

I prefer to call it the Renegade Suit, but yeah

#

There's also another one worn by the other employees at the 100 Rads Bar

finite dragon
#

Oh yeah

#

He's a free stalker, right?

pseudo rivet
#

And there's another version worn by the Mercs

finite dragon
edgy spindle
#

Just so we be clear

pseudo rivet
edgy spindle
#

Wind of freedom and monolith suit aren't right?

#

Like the vests are different right?

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, they're different

edgy spindle
#

Time to roast someone

#

thanks

finite dragon
#

Freedom was made by freedom guys from scratch iirc

pseudo rivet
#

Have fun

finite dragon
#

If I read the description correctly, that is

pseudo rivet
#

Anyways, yeah, there are four variations of the Mercenary Suit

#

Mercs either use one with a blue overall or a camouflaged overall. Garik and Zhorik use one that is completely camouflaged and both the Bandits and the Renegades use the brown one

finite dragon
#

There was a 3rd guard - Lolik or some crap, am I mistaking it with CoC?

#

🤔

pseudo rivet
#

CoC

finite dragon
#

A

edgy spindle
#

I wonder what LC stands for on the mods

finite dragon
#

@edgy spindle @pseudo rivet Now I know why I didn't notice those "Gauss snipers"

#

Cause they were high up and didn't use Gauss rifles, they used proper snipers

#

I even waited for one of em to respawn

#

Respawned with an SVD

#

Also @pseudo rivet, there is somewhere around 100-300 individuals in The Zone, right?

#

Or at least was in 200...

#

Crap

#

2009 or when?

pseudo rivet
#

That was 2009

finite dragon
#

Gotta rewatch the CoP intro

#

Ah

#

Got the date right at least zak

pseudo rivet
#

We don't know the actual number

finite dragon
#

🤔

#

Mono are the largest faction, right?

#

Freedom and Duty + - the same, right behind Mono, right?

pseudo rivet
#

+-

finite dragon
#

@edgy spindle More news

finite dragon
pseudo rivet
#

Afraid not

#

But remember the Faction Wars?

#

A ton, and I mean a ton of Stalkers died during that time

finite dragon
#

Oh right

#

Also yeah, I guess many don't even make it to the Bar

#

New stalkers come in ig

#

So I guess there's a cycle

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Idk

#

I'm theorizing at this point

pseudo rivet
#

Although, I must mention that people started coming to the Zone in groups during 2011

finite dragon
#

I wanna know what factions make up what percentage of the Zone's population

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

#

Groups, not individually

finite dragon
#

idk

#

I wonder myself

pseudo rivet
#

We don't know

finite dragon
#

I wonder if someone from GSC would answer hmm_cheeki

#

Oh well

edgy spindle
#

@pseudo rivet

#

So probably more than 300 people in the zone by 2012?

#

or 100-300?

pseudo rivet
#

Probably more than 300 during 2011, probably less than 300 during 2012

#

We don't really know

edgy spindle
#

So no info whatsoever?

finite dragon
#

Yeah, speculations go brr

#

Yeah, sadly

#

kek

pseudo rivet
#

None

edgy spindle
#

good

#

I prefer that way

finite dragon
tender cedar
#

uwu

finite dragon
#

Kirby likes to live under a rock smile_strelok

pseudo rivet
#

I mean, you could take the Ranking System from SoC, but that's probably too game-y to determine an accurate number

finite dragon
#

Too gameplay mechanics||-y||?

pseudo rivet
#

Yes-y

finite dragon
#

Mm

#

I'll have to buy Crimson a milkshake if I keep asking him about the lore at this rate

Late to the party but there were one gauss sniper in SoC (he shoots the player when exiting the pripyat underground parking) but afaik he doesn't preach or anything, he just says the default battle phrases hmm_cheeki

Hey guys, just finished playing OGSR and I would like a mod suggestion. What do you guys recommend ?
I've played original trilogy, lost alpha dc, olr 2.5, anomaly and ogsr.

wicked current
#

you should probably try OLR for an oldschool stalker experience.

finite dragon
#

winds of time or spatial anomaly

#

he said he played OLR

wicked current
#

oh

#

tiny letters i didnt see hmm_cheeki

opaque parrot
#

I wonder what happened to "The Phantoms Zone" mod for SoC hmm_cheeki

#

Or the "Ghost Land" for CS for example

#

Both of those were so promising and they just vanished

#

Not to mention "Wormwood" for CoP

grand pendant
#

i think Phantoms Zone is pretty much Shadows Addon, which is sort of an alpha, still WIP afaik. Haven't heard of Ghost's Land in a while, Night probably gave up since he was working alone. And Wormwood stopped development in like 2019 so yeah, i guess it's safe to say rip

solid dome
#

Nobody to un-rip them?

grand pendant
#

probably no but if you really want something new, Catalyst: Complementation just dropped out of nowhere.

solid dome
#

Weird names be weird

#

Stalker modders lack imagination regarding names

#

I guess another mod that alters the base game with only graphical tweaks & new weps?

#

I'm tired of those mods honestly

#

Same reason I stopped following them

#

I only do story mods worth of playing

manic lotus

#

Or just play blind

yeah, Catalyst seems interesting. Linear story with elements of psychological horror in build Cordon, worked out dialogues with new characters, around 6 hours and new interface and weather.

Isn't renegades like.

#

The guys who have litterally been denied by every other faction?

pseudo rivet
#

Kinda

#

They're outcasts

#

Mostly because they're considered to be too wild

#

Not even Bandits like these guys much

#

See them as too chaotic

#

I mean, at that point, it's safe to say that they are the worst and meanest scumbags in the Zone

After all, the northern areas of the Great Swamps will always have Renegades respawn at them

i'd say they don't have one, they got no leader and are just scathered around. A few guys living underground doesn't tell much

Wait really? Where? They all tucked into the bus stop South-West of the tunnel or something? Probably with signs saying "R3NIGAYDS, K33P OUT!!!" 😆

There's apparently an underground system that runs from the Garbage to Agroprom

That's how they made their way over there

Awww sweet!!! That's such a fantastic thought. In fact; dang imagine just how many sections of X-Lab we never explored and stuff!!!

During the events of CoP, a path towards the center of the Zone has opened for all Stalkers

#

The most unexplored area of the Zone is the Underground

leaden hamlet
#

Yeah, defo.

#

Plus, it's a mutant breeding ground

#

Quite a challenge to explore, I'd say

leaden hamlet
#

I mean Krylov even says in CS that he can't fathom where the mutants bleeding from the Agroprom Underground are managing to come from. Place alone must be MASSIVE!!!

Combat Music sucks in the Stalker series.

#

I like the combat music tho

#

Doesnt fit the ambience but it's still nice to rock the hell out

gusty trench
#

I think the one and only good combat song is Fighting Unknown. It fits well, but was cut from the game 😔

signal dove
#

Should've played at scripted sequences tho as opposed to just an option in the menu for all confrontations

#

Sort of like how Half-Life does it

#

Most of the game is eerie ambience with the occasional chime-in, but in certain combat scenarios, the music would kick on to further enforce the intensity of the skirmish

still ridge
#

Staged events are pretty cool imo

frail spire
#

I wonder if they'll fix that in slavker 2

#

Either more music scripted in certain areas/map or when entering and leaving combat

#

Maybe specific songs for mutants like chimeras or pseudogiants
