from inside too

#

you play stalker, is good game right? duty wants to delete stalker!

finite dragon
finite dragon
#

Their problem is that they act very quickly

kindred wyvern
#

duty fun police

finite dragon
#

Let's be honest, majority of the Zone's population wouldn't really enjoy anomalies, mutants and such

kindred wyvern
#

i hate those damn fire anomalies

finite dragon
#

I doubt that they are

#

Imagine how many people died from these

#

But another thing is that the Zone can be considered as a living organism

#

Even if it'll be researched to a great extent there's no guarantee that it still can be destoyed

#

If it isn't impossible then it should be very very hard at least

hallow solstice
#

problem is duty is yet to actually hurt the zone in any way

#

in fact its kinda just made it worse with clear sky

finite dragon
#

But not to very big extent

#

Mutant population in the Zone isn't an issue and nor are anomalies

hallow solstice
finite dragon
#

Precisely

hallow solstice
#

The more people mess with the zone to try and stop CCON it only gets worse

finite dragon
#

Exactly what's the problem with Duty

hallow solstice
#

Only stalkers who aernt ruining everything are military funnily enough

finite dragon
#

They act when Zone's big part isn't even researched

finite dragon
#

And very quickly I would say

hallow solstice
#

But they look cool, sound cool, have the coolest guns, so I like them

finite dragon
#

Fair enough

hallow solstice
#

I’d like freedom for the ideals but I know they’re not actually what they claim to be

#

They’re funded by nato forces clearly considering their guns and they’re friends with bandits

#

Just a front to destabilize the zone in hopes it takes out Eastern Europe i bet

finite dragon
#

I love Mercenary faction because of their elite-ness

#

Their reason of being in the Zone mainly is contracts they signed up with a different goals

#

Loners are also in the Zone for money (at least a majority) but their way of making money is a lot different

The thing is...

#

So

#

Anybody know any translated ebooks or something ?

finite dragon
#

I dont unfortunely :(

#

I only know in polish

#

Translated to polish*

#

We all know that uncle Sid is cutest

finite dragon
#

They are only ones who had such honor

#

Strelok is main character in SoC

#

I know

#

Nimble is side character in all three games

#

So nimble is only SIDE character in all three games

#

If he won't be in S2 we riot

#

Yes

#

Minor mistake is Nimble having an Experienced rank in Clear Sky and Rookie rank in SoC, which happened after CS

#

Same with Sakharov

#

Maybe psy-waves did that?

#

They forgor and went to rookie?

#

They forgor 💀

There are no mistakes in stalker

Most weapons mods for clear sky probably aren’t “high res” though

finite dragon

they are

Stalker models look bad even for the time thoigh

Counterstrike models from around the same time look a million times better

And most mods just make the guns look like counterstrike model level

Just listened to the latest shooting sound session video. Wouldn't it make more sense to record animations and sound at the same time so that both perfectly matches? Otherwise, you know, maybe you see the shot animation but the sounds starts before that or something like that. But no, I seriously belief, that you guys know best, what you are doing. Love the level of detail and passion in this project.

Freedomers are worse than mutants 2nd time I cleared out their base in Army Warehouse's bc why? They chose to fight me from the back while I was killing some monolith there they don't even open fire to zombies and mutants I am the only target.

an emission started and i had to run forward to a bunch of monolith and ecologist

#

im playing as a bandit so it was a pain in the bottom to take them all out

I am playing Warzone mode on Anomaly, and holy shit, Monolith literally does not know when to stop, they really wanna take Army warehouses, every time they come back stronger. 2 times already cleared all monoliths out, and 3rd time after i did some small quests, I see that my faction lost Army warehouses again, walk to the zone and check PDA to see 50 squads, well.

#

That's hell, came back to Rostok do buy munition and grenades, and get friendly squads with me, today gonna try retaking army warehouses

And yes, yesterday it said 230 (+-) squads of monolith, 110 military, 70 ecologist, and 30 duty (my faction) bcs we keep fighting against monolith, like every time I leave army warehouses, day later monolith take control

Hmm so stalker cop is my first stalker game, im not doing too bad but i noticed im generally bad at solving the unmarked quests.. is there any general route to solve them? now that im in the next area i notice theres alot more of those type of quests which i seemingly can't solve through dialogue or exploration

if it's for example the oasis, dialogue won't really help if I'm remembering correctly. All I'll say is ||that it's underground||

@finite dragon Upon joining the Bandits and taking over the Loner base you'll recieve the GP-37 as a Bandit faction victory reward. You could get the F2000 from just clearing the path to Limansk and returning to the CS base

Oh, so there's no neutral way?

I don't think so

The freedom elite carry a SIG in CS. so the bandits is the way to go

Now in terms of what we'll see, that I truly don't know. It would be weird if it's another 5 minute trailer with very few gameplay clips like this year's E3. Since we're so close to the release date, guess we'll find out if the game ends up delayed or not based on what we'll see at this event, if we see anythin at all that is.

Nice advice just thought this myself mods gonna extend playtime

i think it would make the playtime shorter if you choose a really annoying mod to play through

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Major Alexander Degtyarev the only (playable) protagonist from the games whose real name is known? Conversely, he's the only (playable) protagonist who doesn't have a "STALKER codename." On top of that, he's the only protagonist whose name isn't one word starting with the letter S (Strelok, Scar, Skif).

#

Of course, this is all assuming that Strelok, Scar, and Skif aren't the actual legal names of each respective protagonist--but that should really go without saying.

can anyone get me started on the ''collect the unique bodysuit'' quest in SoC?

the zone is psi-emitted or whatever and i wont have long enough to get past all the enemies and get near the quest marker. google/wiki doesnt mention anything about that part of the quest. im probably missing something but yea

the radiation suit has no effect in that zone

Are you still outside of X-16?

Hmm, got an earlier save from when you didn't enter it?

yeah i do

pseudo rivet
#

Actually, what's currently your main quest?

finite dragon
#

uhmmm i think its getting documents (the second part?) i tried doing it, but the area to get past is really radioactive so i figured i needed the radiation suit from yanmar, thats how i got to the part im at now

pseudo rivet
#

And have you talked to Sakharov?

#

The scientist in the bunker

yeah i have, he's the one that gives the quest i am stuck at now

Got a calibrated psi-helmet?

i think he only gave me the radiation suit

Did you escort Kruglov?

yeah hes in the same bunker as the doctor is now

Hmm

dont tell me my save is bugged :))

#

And did you escort him through Yantar?

finite dragon
#

through yantar? not really.. i escorted him past the tunnel with the anomaly's which was part of his quest. (and im pretty sure that was the end of his quest) then i ran back to the bar to sell items cuz my iventory is fucked. when i came back later to yantar he was there.

pseudo rivet
#

Talk to him

#

Also, don't swear

#

Mods don't like that

You escort Kruglov through Wild Territory, then in Yantar you go out and take measurements with him on psy field around the facility

yee i did, but he has nothing to say. first time he was like go talk to the doctor to get your suit. that's all of his dialogue

and sorry Sadge

He either dies or survives, either way you go back to Sakharov

Talk to him again

And then you go find Vasiliev's body by the chopper

mmm theres games where exploration is still good that have fast travel.. also imo the exploration content in stalker games really isnt that special but i expect most of you to disagree with me on that

Well, it depends on how much exploration GSC plans to add to Stalker 2

If the map is truly 64 square and the time you need to beat the game is 100+ hours as the guys from GSC said, then I think the map will be highly explorable.

il use master on the rest of the games aswell

Master, if my memory serves me right, just makes the game fair since both you & the enemies all die in (basically) the same amount of hits.
