S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: Thread lock imminent, get to cover Stalkers! - Games

man, I'm getting that Clear Sky urge again...

Reinstalled CoP and tried out Misery. Perfect amount of difficulty. I love it. I'm just having trouble sourcing food - anyone have any tips?

[QUOTE=teh pirate;40224282]I'm enjoying TFW for Clear Sky, but are there any similar mods that are a bit more stable and more complete feeling?[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure most mods barely even touch the faction system other than maybe fixing some bugs.

So, the military guys that moved in to the Sawmill after I massacred the zombies are some badass mofos. I can't take them down. It's fun to try different weapons and strategies, but I am just not yet equipped to deal with them all. I get bum rushed by Exosuit mercs with silenced rifles and grenades by the dozen. Man it's satisfying to nail them though. Heading to Jupiter soon, but there are two stashes at the sawmill taunting me. Also I found those tools at the dredge station, when I was approaching I heard a springboard fire off and suddenly an AKM flew through the air and hit me in the face. :v:

Maybe it's the fact that I've just played Stalker for so long, but the labs really never bother me, in ShoC I even set up the one in Yantar as somewhat of a base using fireballs for lights.

So is there kind of.. a "best" STALKER game? Are they all good/relatively the same? I realize that's plenty subjective but I own all 3 and I'm not sure which I want to play (I likely won't have the time nor motivation to play all 3). I'm actually thinking about Clear Sky as it's the only 1 of the 3 I haven't touched what-so-ever, but that said I'd rather go for the clear cut better experience (mods or not) than potentially the "worst" of the lot. humho

But as far as mod quality goes, I'd say it's a toss up between SoC and CoP, and Clear Sky has always been kinda... ehh, in my opinion. There are a lot of complete overhauls for SoC and CoP that are amazing.

i think i feel like another stalker CoP playthrough.. can i get some recommendations? cause so far i've liked redux but it seems 2.0 isn't out yet. i might just go for another redux playthrough. all the other mods either don't have very good quality or they jack up the system requirements. [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] the thing i want the most is something that makes the world more alive.. it doesn't ever seem like anyone's around when i play

Or Swartz mod works too. [editline]asd[/editline] shit, didn't read the part about the system requirements, sorry. You could get MSO on its own though [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/mso-massive-simulation-overhaul[/url] Doesn't change much other than the AI though, but the AI is massively improved.

That has increased system requirements though, since it has Atmosfear. And if you want to fix the zombies: [QUOTE=rikimaru6811;40202915]THE GOD DAMN FIX GET IT Or just do this: Go to: gamedata\configs\creatures Open m_stalker_zombied.ltx Change: "fire_wound_immunity = 0.1" to "fire_wound_immunity = X" X is whatever you want. 1 = full damage, 0 = invulnerable to bullets[/QUOTE]

okay then redux it is... i can't have increased system reqs

[QUOTE=Araknid;40226049]SGM? if so, "military guys"[/QUOTE] Yes SGM. Actually they are mercs. I couldn't tell what they were at first. Also, this is clearly the reason they are destroying me: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/z4IunvP.jpg[/IMG]

it's a wizard

[QUOTE='[Green];40227647']it's a wizard[/QUOTE] No you nerd, it's a Sorcerer. It says so RIGHT THERE. get it right or the zone shall take you

Try installing the Absolute Nature Lite, or just reinstall the texture pack.

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;40227987]Try installing the Absolute Nature Lite, or just reinstall the texture pack.[/QUOTE] yeah i forgot to mention that

Done with SGM. Time to play some OGSE.

After a pitched [sub][sub][sub]ambush[/sub][/sub][/sub] I took out all the mercs at the sawmill, but at one point near the end all of my blood fell out so I had to reload a quicksave and most of the bodies disappeared! :< Then, I did the mission where you have to take the Ranger Station for those guys (the one you get from the guy standing next to Owl) and that was awesome. We took it, then immediately after, a blowout happened, so we all regrouped at the front and defended our new facility from the ensuing zombie onslaught. Amazing game sometimes. But I have a question. There was a trader at the station after we took it, and he can order me a Bandit Exosuit, and I kinda wanted to see if it was awesome or not, but you have to be rank 250 to order it. So I went and slaughtered innocent mutant abominations until I was there, the next day I went back. Lo and behold the trader isn't there anymore. It was like 21:00 after we took it, so I slept till then and returned to see if he was only there at night or something. Nope. So how exactly do I find him? Where did he go, I kinda want that suit.

Killed my first group of Alpha mercs in SGM 2.2 Took me only like an hour. What do I do with the commander PDA?

Sell it to Owl.

[QUOTE=kaukassus;40228968]Killed my first group of Alpha mercs in SGM 2.2 Took me only like an hour. What do I do with the commander PDA?[/QUOTE] And their weapons too. They're usually pre-ungraded to tier 3 and can sometimes worth quite a lot of money.

[QUOTE=kaukassus;40228968]Killed my first group of Alpha mercs in SGM 2.2 Took me only like an hour. What do I do with the commander PDA?[/QUOTE] I believe you sell them for mucho gas-mask strip club funds.

what's with the chickens around random places in SGM? what vodka inspired drunken stupor did one of the devs had that made them think to add that?

So I'm playing SGM and I cannot find the mine detector. I've searched in that one mine in the NW area of the swamps where I heard it was but it's not there.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;40229317]what's with the chickens around random places in SGM? what vodka inspired drunken stupor did one of the devs had that made them think to add that?[/QUOTE] Well, if you poke them you get a fake egg, I haven't found a use for it yet, can't seem to sell them or anything. Also, If you shoot them...well...don't shoot them.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;40229317]what's with the chickens around random places in SGM? what vodka inspired drunken stupor did one of the devs had that made them think to add that?[/QUOTE] Knife them.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;40229405]Knife them.[/QUOTE] ... what will happen?

[QUOTE=Samiam22;40229430]... what will happen?[/QUOTE] Don't ask, just do it. [sp]A fairy will appear and grant you a wish for each knife'd chicken[/sp]
