#

I dont expect good gameplay from a Fallout game,I expect good story,good choices

#

taht doesnt mean its better,FNV is WAY beter no questions asked

#

Fallout 3 is better in a sense that some sidequests were actually pretty nice

mighty compass
#

i just like the game

#

leave me be

#

smh

hazy helm
#

I aint attacking you personally man,just discussing why I think its a bad Fallout

#

Fallout 4 could've been named something else that isn't fallout,and all my criticism will go away

#

but,they choose to be idiots,so now I'm gonna complain about it zak

mighty compass
#

fallout 4 has a better story then 76 change my mind

#

you cant deny that the story in 76 is bad

hazy helm
#

I haven't played 76,I won't waste my money

mighty compass
#

sealion

hazy helm
#

I despised fallout 4 for waht it represented,so I bet I wouldn't like 76 by a long shot zak

mighty compass
#

you can change it with mods

#

different story

hazy helm
mighty compass
#

guns

#

more horror

#

making it harder then dark souls

hazy helm
# mighty compass you can change it with mods

the problem here is taht it isn't the product it needed to be to comply with the fallout standards,not that it doesn't have mods that change it,stalker is a great game,taht can be made even better with mods,fallout 4 is a game that NEEDS mods to work

mighty compass
#

true

#

it needs mods like the patch

#

but other then that you can have a great time

#

the only thing i hate about it thats its dead

#

like stalker SoC has the bar

#

its lively

#

fallout has diamond city

#

its pretty dead

#

but fallout 4 also doesnt have guitars

hazy helm
# mighty compass but other then that you can have a great time

it's the only thing they worried about,its what Im saddest about,they focused all their efforts into making a dopamine enducing gameplay that keeps you going,it saddens me that it doesn't try toi hold you with the story like a fallout game should,but with the gameplay,bc there was more work put into artificial rewarding than what shouldve been put into

mighty compass
#

i like shooting peeps

#

im a simple man

#

i see a gun i pick it up

#

i see someone i shoot

hazy helm
#

I played the Originals,I demand more from them,I have standards alright,and this ain't it,theyre just gonna keep milking the brand name with fanfic level stories without worrying about it,bethesda is one hell of a company

mighty compass
#

it made doom eternal

#

doom eternal is good

hazy helm
#

Doom Eternal was made by ID

mighty compass
#

it was a daughter company of bethesda

#

you didnt say bethesda softworks

hazy helm
#

It was bought by them

hazy helm
mighty compass
#

im just joking with you

#

epic embed fail

hazy helm
mighty compass
#

and i was wrong

hazy helm
#

wrong about what?

mighty compass
#

that bethesda is owned by zenimax media

hazy helm
#

they were bough by microsoft recently

mighty compass
#

yeah

#

its not all round yet

#

but i am really thinking if i should keep money for my pc or a xbox series x

hazy helm
#

choice is youre,depends on waht you want,I think a PC would be better but thats my opinion and my conditions

opaque parrot
#

I stick to PC myself

#

I have a PS4 tho, but PC is just PC
Never cared much about Xbox

#

It's just that PC is way more expensive if you want some top gear machine

#

But in a long term that's great investment

#

People tend to spend 90% of their salary on PC instead of saving for it, then they cry how it's expensive

hazy helm
mighty compass
#

i prefer controller over keyboard

hazy helm
mighty compass
#

but rn its pretty hard to get any of the three

#

i know

opaque parrot
mighty compass
#

but i have a cheap knock off controller

#

i might buy sometime later a dualshock or a ps5 controller

hazy helm
mighty compass
#

i mostly play old games

opaque parrot
#

Well, there, you know what I'm talking about then

mighty compass
#

the only thing i need is a dedicated gpu

opaque parrot
#

It's just that a good machine is more expensive than any of the consoles ofc

mighty compass
#

i am now running radeon 7 that can do the job

opaque parrot
#

And people just throw their money at it just like that

mighty compass
#

i like rgb lights tho

opaque parrot
#

I have some i5, 16GB of RAM and a 1050ti

hazy helm
opaque parrot
#

Served me for like 6-7 years now

mighty compass
#

nah

#

i like rgb

hazy helm
opaque parrot
#

I can even run Warzone somehow , although most of the settings are on low

hazy helm
#

I need to make a new one

mighty compass
#

amd A8 radeon r7 8gb ram

opaque parrot
hazy helm
# mighty compass i like rgb

my opinion on RGB?pretty distracting,pretty pointless and most times costier solution to make your bedrom look uglier

mighty compass
#

i am waiting until the chip shortage goes away

hazy helm
opaque parrot
#

Amen to that

mighty compass
#

i will prob wait until the chips are back to normal and then gonna look or sales and such

#

and rgb can be usefull in some ways

hazy helm
#

like it'ss pretty cool,I need to admit,for 10 seconds when the novelty wears of tho?youll have it off most times

#

I talk of experience

mighty compass
#

i only have a strip on the front of my case

#

that changes color

hazy helm
#

and most of the top stuff on the market that is top notch has these lights so it's more difficult to go around that

mighty compass
#

if i have some more rgb things i might just write a script for it so it can change color of how hot my cpu is and such

#

or how much gpu power im using

hazy helm
#

well,tell me if you did

mighty compass
#

i will prob just stop middle way cause i stumbled upon a road block and just quit like i do everytime

hazy helm
#

that is a real problem,faced it quite a lot of times myself

mighty compass
#

but i will prob just buy a new graphics card like the 1650 super or something

hazy helm
#

good for ya,I already have the CPU Imma be using for my new build,need the ram,case,mobo,PSU and GC

#

GC will be 3060ti so you know how long I'm willing to wait

mighty compass
#

i will prob be getting a ryzen 5 or something

#

it already fits in my motherboard i have now

hazy helm
#

I got a Ryzen 5 3600 since I am thinking into getting into 3d modeling in the future

mighty compass
#

i wanted to get a ryzen 3 3200g but it was out of stock

#

and will be for quite some time

hazy helm
#

like most of the stuff,ppl are buying like crazies and chip supply is dwindling

mighty compass
#

that status tho

hazy helm
#

it did tho

#

not even kidding,past all the beautifying nonsense it did brick it

mighty compass
#

i just like rgb so when i dont have my screen on it is still cool to see

hazy helm
#

you can like wahtever,but that won't change what I feel about rgb,and honestly,most of the times I wouldn't even see the thing,the PC's at my feet

#

do I need to ligh my feet?

mighty compass
#

nah

#

but we all can agree that airflow is a must

hazy helm
#

yhea that we can

mighty compass
#

and i prefer air cooling over water

#

its easier to use

the same model was used like 4 times

duplicate chair thing?

leaden hamlet
#

@finite dragon I mean, you know, the school building might just have four identical chairs. Schools tend to buy quite a few of them, you know? Kids get cranky if they have to stand all day...Teachers too in fact. zak

finite dragon
#

not the point

#

they had the exact same 3d model

with the same amount of damage

literally the same 3d model

hushed aurora

So the issue being that 2 chairs have the same model?

leaden hamlet

Pretty sure all few-thousand chairs in my primary school had the same model, graphics mustn't of been that good back then. zak

Apparently more chairs or something. :zak:

The Security Service of Ukraine is calling all right-minded and loyal citizens to collaborate with the authorities. Report all known cases of stalking! Do not let the looters hide behind your backs! They bring radioactive, unidentified items from the Zone that are highly dangerous for human health and life! Only with your help can we eliminate this hideous phenomenon! Do not put your lives and the lives of your families at risk for the sake of dubious profit!

I'd see about unpacking the game files and having a dig around. It's fairly easy to do, just get one of the game pages up on ModDB & cram "file unpacker" into the search box. Basically what I did. 👍

#

No worries mate. 👍

Absolutely smashing

#

My biggest hope in terms of videogame music, GSC better make the environment ambience perfect. Animal sounds, echos in the distance, those small sounds that make the whole picture

#

I'm gonna have at least 5 "camp at the spot" playthroughs

Sorry for the ping tho, massive fan of this guy and I've already played few of his albums while doing OLR

#

What a blast I had

#

Darn, someone has to remind the mods/admins we need proper music channel. For once.

tired anvil
#

I don't think we do honestly

solid dome
#

Well some people might want to exchange stalker-fitting sounds

#

You may don't do it, junkies like me would

tired anvil
#

5 junkies sending music vs 50 sending meme soundtracks

#

I look at it from a realistic perspective, not from my personal opinion

#

If it was all normal I wouldn't mind, but in a server like this I know it won't be

solid dome
#

Oh, you mean meme videos instead of actual music

#

Dam memes...

tired anvil
solid dome
#

The meme problem comes from the developers themselves, not anyone else

#

There were memes posted on the official Twitter acc a while back, so....

tired anvil
#

Memes being popular on the internet has nothing to do with the PR managers

#

They also retweet art. Does that mean they are responsible for all the art posted in this server? No

solid dome
#

Yeah but if you post about memes, you sure as hell know which people you'll attract

#

Though big portion of STALKER fanbase are meme people

#

Straight fact, yeah

tired anvil
#

Not like they constantly post memes, was going to happen anyway honestly

#

I doubt anyone except the 5 people that left had joined for the memes

solid dome
#

You haven't seen them doing it then

#

😄

tired anvil
#

I'll open up Twitter right now and check

#

So like 6/10 posts are about art, others are rather retweets than their own tweets about memes

#

Rest is replies to things

#

Why are stalker mods so hard to install

finite dragon
#

stalker is the easiest game to mod for me, it require no tools at all

#

just put folder in your game

hushed current
#

No matter what I do I can’t get any to work

finite dragon
#

oh

#

change the fsgame.ltx

#

someline about gamedata

hushed current
#

I don’t know what that is

finite dragon
#

and change it to true from false

hushed current
#

No no I lost it trying to install those mods I recently tried to install call of Chernobyl and I couldn’t do it

finite dragon
#

oh, call of chernobyl dont need call of pripyat

#

its standalone mod

#

just unzip it in a new folder

#

Why is the stalker community also the least toxic for such a large community

#

Ironically

hushed current
#

Sigh

dusty wagon
#

I agree

finite dragon
#

Most of the players are people who started playing in like 5+ years ago

#

Maybe that's why

finite dragon
#

I started playing in 2019 so yes

dusty wagon
#

Yeah the community aged like fine wine I guess you could say

#

I’m a fairly new player

finite dragon
#

Nice

dusty wagon
#

But I’m amazed at how this community has kept this game so alive over such a long period of time it’s beyond anything I’ve ever seen

finite dragon
#

Oh yeah

#

10 years worth of mods as well

dusty wagon
#

That is so true

finite dragon
#

Idk there's so much addons and mods

#

It never gets old

dusty wagon
#

They just keep adding and modifying stuff

dusty wagon
finite dragon
#

It does sometimes, but it's still fun to replay

dusty wagon
#

Yeah because there’s random scenarios that feel so real

finite dragon
#

And that would go for just one mod

#

Wow i beat everything in anomaly or other mod

dusty wagon
#

One of my favorite things is when a stalker dies and his friends and fellow stalkers start playing the guitar in memory of him

finite dragon
#

Get another

dusty wagon
#

Exactly

dusty wagon
#

There’s so many mods

finite dragon
#

Yea

dusty wagon
#

You finish anomaly you find another one

finite dragon
#

Even some of them like sgm and osgr change the originals

dusty wagon
#

Also I am very hyped for stalker 2

#

I hope it goes well

finite dragon
#

Sgm gives cool new story stuff for cop

#

Also same

#

Osgr shoc but better

#

From what I've heard

dusty wagon
#

They just throw in modern fixes and polish everything while maintaining the same level of ambience

finite dragon
#

Never played it but I've seen some ppl play it

dusty wagon
#

I want to try OGSR

finite dragon
#

It's also really scary you know why

dusty wagon
#

Get the feeling of the old games but more acclimated to my modern tastes

dusty wagon
finite dragon
#

Sure there's the scripted fights like a controller flankimg you from behind in a agroprom tunnel

#

But the unscripted ones catch you off guard

dusty wagon
#

Exactly

#

It feels real

finite dragon
#

A random flesh appears by you in the middle of night

dusty wagon
#

And real life is far scarier than any horror game

finite dragon
#

Oh God when i was 12 and played cop for first time

#

It’s random and unforgiving

finite dragon
#

I had to look for the documents in jupiter

#

It was night

#

It had fell to nightfall while i was there

#

I didn't know what the hell to do

#

I holed up in a building

#

For an entire in game night

#

Until it was morning

#

Luckily now we have sleeping bag mods and stuff like that

#

Kinda not as fun but still great

dusty wagon
#

Yeah time flies faster with that stuff

#

But like having to wait there knowing anything could attack you

finite dragon
#

Yea

dusty wagon
#

Not knowing what’s out there

finite dragon
#

I kept checking outside to see if any dogs were coming in

dusty wagon
#

That makes the game great

finite dragon
#

I actually waited for a while there

#

I just walked around irl till i saw daylight in game

dusty wagon
#

Lol I’m going to head out good night

finite dragon
#

Gn bro

finite dragon
#

should i use monolith suit or any regular suit

#

i heard monolith suit has anti radiation

frail spire
#

Monolithian suits are usually an upgrade from their regular counterparts

#

Except for psyprotection iirc since you don't need protection when your brain is already fried

On an unrelated adventure

But why aren't monolith dudes not zombies

Like their brain got a little deep fried right

finite dragon
#

frail spire
#

Because zone shenanigans, thats why monolith is op as hell since while everyone is looking for cover from emissions they can just wait in a corner until everyone is inside a building a chug some F1's in it

#

If gsc would really get into it monolith could do some really nasty stuff

#

Like dressing and pretending to be mutants like controllers

#

Wearing coats and stuff and baiting stalkers

past shuttle
#

It may happen if Stalker 2 comes

#

Think about your home town or city

#

Then imagining it being implemented into Stalker 2

#

As a map

#

Since Stalker 2 is based on a very different and popular engine, it may be possible to do it

#

Just my thought, of course

#

@gusty trench What do you think about this idea?

#

I'm thinking too much right now

gusty trench
#

It's... hard to realize for sure. And it's doesn't not worth it too.

past shuttle

@gusty trench It is not*

Just to correct your mistake by the way

ah yes that prosecutor that gets shipped with the attorney

it would be fun if the zone expanded

and stuff maybe also dlcs

I love so much the atmosphere of stalker

I love vanilla differently

#

Mods are also something else

#

I only installed a weapon pack on ShoC even though I finished it yesterday

#

Now I'm replaying it again

#

That's how great the stalker series is

#

I still need to replay CS and CoP

mighty compass
#

i really like mods

#

for example for things like fallout 4 or stalker

#

they make things more scary and harder

when adding perks you'll most likely create unbalances,and start relying too much on perks on playthroughs,I like that stalker as no perks that heavely change gameplay,means I can take enemies with slim survival chances and win with pure skill and wits,stuff like perks that let you get more mutant parts when you skin an animal I kinda agree with depending on the implementation but nothing that directly effects combat and exploration

lean igloo
#

for me: i don't need perks in the base game

hazy helm
lean igloo
#

nah, don't need this

toxic vector
#

maybe it's better to be gear based instead of perks

hazy helm
#

exactly,it'll be infurianting if I can't pop 2 headshots on a monolith and rush to get his kit before his buddies gun me down

past shuttle
#

COD and STALKER are both different games

#

Perks are good in COD

hazy helm
#

I'd rather have that than some perk system that makes it all easier

past shuttle
#

In STALKER, it would create unhappiness for sure

#

That's why there are no perks in STALKER series

#

And in my opinion, that way is much better

lean igloo
#

you can use a mod that adds this if you want (the community will make something)

past shuttle
#

No, thank you

hazy helm
past shuttle
#

STALKER does not need perks

hazy helm
#

since I am an idiot who thinks his opinions matter on the internet

past shuttle
#

But rather diversity

lean igloo
#

i'm saying this to the rpg guys

toxic vector
#

is it possible to have a multiplayer type gameplay like dark soul 3 in a FPS game like stalker?

high field
toxic vector
#

you take a killer contract from npc to invade the world of other players

lean igloo
#

NO

hazy helm
toxic vector
#

and there should be a online stalker list for all players

#

who is richest, who kill most blah blah

hazy helm
#

you want EFT not Stalker

toxic vector
#

stalker could be even better than EFT if it had that type of multiplayer

lean igloo
#

Hm, talking about Online, i think should have a co op mode in stalker

hazy helm
#

bottom line stalker and EFT are totaly different,I dont think stalker should prioritize multiplayer since it's a singleplayer centered experience

robust forge
#

You know what?

#

The strongest part of EFT is its singleplayer, period

hazy helm
#

it can but they should put more time in the SP

hazy helm
robust forge
#

I think that I've made this comparison here before

#

Comparing mp EFT to sp EFT is like comparing a Michael Bay movie to Tarkovski's pieces

past shuttle
#

What is EFT by the way?

lean igloo
robust forge
#

Escape from Tarkov

hazy helm
#

I can't speak much bc I haven't played EFT but from waht I see comparing Stalker and EFT is like comparing Mars to Earth

robust forge
#

Singleplayer EfT lets you bask in the atmosphere

hazy helm
robust forge
#

Multiplayer EfT is just glorified running and gunning

lean igloo
#

Hm, you know that Eft is pvp?

robust forge
#

Also, after playing EfT for some time I know why people want to EFt-ify stalker

robust forge
#

Im playing that uhh

#

How do you call it

lean igloo
#

i'm sayng that to @hazy helm

robust forge
#

Basically EfT with pvp turned off

#

Oh

#

Ok

#

But going back

lean igloo
#

sry

robust forge
#

People want to EfT-ify stalker for wrong reasons

toxic vector
#

best thing about Tarkov is the gunplay

robust forge
#

They think that the atmosphere comes from the whole shooting experience

#

And

#

No

hazy helm
robust forge
#

Best thing about Tarkov is the mentality it can force you into

#

You're just a small man trying to scavenge stuff

#

That's what loners are about in stalker

lean igloo
past shuttle
hazy helm
#

going back to my metaphor,stalker and tarkov,like mars and earth,are kinda alike y'know theyre round and are massive,but you wouldnt say that they're equal and should be equal or taht they can even be equal

past shuttle
#

@robust forge How did you get the pink tags in your profile?

robust forge
#

Uhh

#

Talked a lot

past shuttle
#

Master is level 50 I think

#

But I don't know the others

hazy helm
#

I see that they both have this edge of atmosphere,but they emote different types of it,they shouldn't really be merged

#

altho I'd like to see gunpron levels of Tarkov in Stalker ngl

lean igloo
#

Hm,... ok i don't want a escape from stalker

robust forge
#

Atmosphere is the same

#

People just mistake what makes that atmosphere work

#

In stalker it was just general mentality

#

You're a small guy

#

Running around, doing tasks for Sidor

hazy helm
#

in EFT youre literally the small guy

robust forge
#

Yup

#

But people tend to think that the movement and gameplay are what gives EfT atmosphere

hazy helm
#

nha

robust forge
#

Oh believe me, I've seen many thinking like that

hazy helm
#

I think the movement is really close to Insurgency and they have totally different feels

#

Insurgency is my fix for frenetic shooter

robust forge
#

EfT is just more grounded stalker, let's call it that

lean igloo
#

what you guys think about arma 3 movement?

robust forge
#

It is not stalker

#

It derives from it

#

But it's not the same

hazy helm
hazy helm
lean igloo
#

i don't want stalker to become a PVP game

#

like eft

hazy helm
#

I seen many ppl try do do gameplay like EFT on stalker,mods in anomaly and such

#

I even tried to emulate it to have a giggle seeing if I really can

lean igloo
#

i just want a 2-3 players co op

hazy helm
#

o yhea that would be cool,why do you think a lot of ppl are waiting for XRMP

lean igloo
#

XRMp ?

hazy helm
#

Xray multiplayer project

#

sorry XRMPE

lean igloo
#

Hm

lean igloo
#

thx

lean igloo
hazy helm
#

totally different

#

ROH is like FPSMMORPG

lean igloo
#

Hm...ok

lean igloo
lean igloo
hazy helm
#

they seem to be more interested in that than in a multiplayer stalker,it's not really my cup of tea but I haven't tried Stalker Online so I dont know

robust forge
#

RoH is a prettier Stalker Online at this point

#

With its development simmilar to that of Star Citizen

#

xrmpe is just stalker with coop

#

And afaik local servers

#

Or peer-to-peer

#

Which would mean the possibility of implenetation of other mods into it

#

Now imagine playing a solyanka with coop

hazy helm
#

it would always crassh at the start

robust forge
#

Solyanka with coop would be like popping strong acid with buddies

verbal hemlock
#

You can be friends with both Duty and Freedom in SoC

#

You can also destroy Skull’s group with Freedom and stay friends with both factions (as long as you don’t directly kill any of them, just keep reloading until Max’s group wins) to preserve the status quo because Skull’s group was a rogue offshoot who went against orders to leave Freedom alone

will freedom will help you fight in chernobyl?

neither of them do

there are a few outliers that cashed in for decade+ of work (Beeple, 13 years daily artworks), and people think outside of context.

A decent 3d artist in product viz/architectural viz can make 350~900 USD a day as a freelancer on a project. If you do the math 13 years ~ 156 months ~ 4700ish days; Beeple took 3.4 mil USD for that; -10% transaction fee, and - 10% tax to government, he's left say with 2.7 mil.

2.7 mil / 4700 days ~ 500ish USD per day, which fall in line with what the industry pay is. It seems amazing because he cashed it in all at once.
If I put 10$ in a savings account for 13 years, I could cash out an impressive sum of money as well

#

where can i bother people w ith questions about misery?

eager oyster
#

I have this idea that the websites are actually owner by these miners; since complexity in mining is going up, creating this market would cover their mining expenses under the excuse of "gas" or whatever they call 'writing to the node network' is

#

the node network for ethereum/bitcoin/etc are mining rigs

tired anvil

so

i have much experience in RTTN and anomaly...

but misery is way different

is 38% svd a good find and is it profitable to repair it

i got ammmo

and a scope

and dismantle kit does it give weapon parts?

like in anomaly you get parts and you put thtem on your gun on vice...or theres noone of that just repair and general item Ammo parts

guys, they says stalker have the element of rpg, how is the story in this game represented

gusty trench
#

They say will have or already have?

slate helm
#

i mean, the game has a tag of rpg on steam

gusty trench
#

Bs it's better to play by yourself. It isn't like Fallout, f.e.

slate helm
#

btw, my fnv kept crashing after modding. Then i found this fantastic game

frail spire
#

It is not an rpg like you think

frail spire
#

Theres literally no stats involved nor level growth

#

The only rpg-ish element if it can be called so is how you start as a hobo but end up geared the hell up

hushed aurora
#

You can make choices about some stuff but that's about it, and the artifacts give you buffs to some stats but nothing else

frail spire
#

Thats all the rpg there is

#

At least the base games have near-to-none rpg elements

#

Mods are another thing entirely

#

If you're looking for number crunching you'll have more fun in Starsector

slate helm
#

i see, so it's more like a combination of metro and unturned

hushed aurora
#

If i were to define Stalker i'd call it a FPS """Survival""" game, can't think of much else

verbal hemlock
#

All three are RPGs in my opinion but CoP is the one that’s indisputably RPG

slate helm
#

ok, enough to attract me to buy the whole series

verbal hemlock
#

Hell yeah man, enjoy it

#

Don’t play in chronological order

#

I recommend the order of SoC, CS, CoP

slate helm
#

won't do

hushed aurora
#

Play it on the release order, aye yeah that one

slate helm
#

i guess otherwise i will have problems with the graphics

verbal hemlock
#

If you want some bug fixing/ stabilization mods, the Zone Reclamation Project is great for Shadow of Chernobyl, makes the game a lot closer to what the developers intended without changing the gameplay

slate helm
#

what's more, the game can be even played on my super week rig

hushed aurora
#

It should

slate helm
#

but the graphics and shaders looks WONDERFUL

hushed aurora
#

SoC doesn't ask for a good pc at all,

verbal hemlock
#

hell yeah man

hushed aurora
slate helm
#

so is CoP

hushed aurora
#

O

#

It doesn't really ask for a good pc

#

I ran it with 2gbs of ram and a pretty weak (more than 10yo) gpu

#

Low settings ofc

slate helm
#

can't compare them to metro but still fantastic that a game with that graphic can run on such a week rig

hushed aurora
#

I mean, you're gonna have to lower those graphics for it to run smile_degtyarev if you have a really weak pc

#

What are your specs?

not that week

verbal hemlock
slate helm

8gb of ram

is joining duty or freedom good?

opaque parrot
#

@finite dragon Which game?

finite dragon
opaque parrot
#

Neither

#

Honestly

finite dragon
#

lol

opaque parrot
#

Ignore the duty guys in the Warehouses

#

And don't talk about them to Freedom in their base

#

If Duty becomes hostile, you're gonna have a hard time at the Bar

#

If Freedom becomes hostile you'll have a hard time every time you enter Warehouses

finite dragon
#

i mean i massacred duties in bar like using stalker armor and ak

opaque parrot
#

For me those were a no-go, I was neutral to both

finite dragon
#

days ago

#

weeks i think

#

but ok neutral good

opaque parrot
#

It's easy to take them down anyway, but it becomes annoying

#

And since you can't join any of the factions it doesn't change anything much

#

Nor does it change the story of the game

#

When I first played SoC i thought the duty guys in Garbage were the bad guys because of the black clothing and all, didn't even pay attention to their relation or the message

#

I entered the Bar, became overrun and I knew something was wrong so I had to backtrack to a save before I went to the outpost at the Garbage

hazy helm
opaque parrot
#

The game will be harder either way imho

#

And it's pointless to join any of them since you can't actually JOIN a faction

#

And it doesn't impact the game in any way other than making the other faction hostile

hazy helm
#

you can allign yourself with tho

You can with Freedom, but I think that's a bug
