S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread - Buzz off lurker, we don't let every loser post here! - Games

I have to be honest I mostly like Freedom for their NATO weaponry and their cool looking uniforms. I also think that the closer you get to the center the more alike the two factions become; cold and merciless. They have to be like that to survive.

[QUOTE=Muukkis;30471782]*Drowning a large den of mutants under Agroprom Research Institute (Granted, it was Scar who actually did that but under the request of Duty)[/quote] Exactly, it was Scar. Duty couldn't have done that. They even died to fucking snorks. [QUOTE=Muukkis;30471782]*Purging the Wild Territory Mercs[/quote] Strelok. [QUOTE=Muukkis;30471782]*Guarding the Ecologist lab[/quote] It's a goddamn bunker, you only need to sit on top of it and take potshots at anything that moves since they can't reach you. [QUOTE=Muukkis;30471782]*Helping Marked One to reach the Hotel in Pripyat[/quote] Dunno what the canonical stance is, but they always die in five seconds and I have to fend for myself be it vanilla or mods.

Duty still has it's problems. A good deal of important members are corrupted or plain dicks (Morgan and Skull, for example) and they treat most of the younger stalkers with suspicion(entrance to the Bar area). But if there was no Duty places such as Rostok, Garbage and Agroprom would be in a far worse state than they are now. Freedom still has to have some credit, they were the first ones to proove that there is a way to get to Pripyat by avoiding the Brain Scorcher and they sucessfully controlled the barrier in SoC. However, Freedom's structure is very weak and just as corrupt as Duty's and they spend most of their time fortifying or patrolling moderately safe areas, which isn't aiding their cause that much.

That Barrier argument is as weak as a cheese in a puddle.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30471960]Strelok.[/QUOTE] Actually that was Duty. Strelok just happened to ran into Kruglov the first time he got there, which ended up with a lot of dead mercenaries.

[QUOTE=Paravin;30472023]That Barrier argument is as weak as a cheese in a puddle.[/QUOTE] Freedom actually fights off someone, Duty just sits back and relaxes at their checkpoints. [QUOTE=croguy;30472032]Actually that was Duty. Strelok just happened to ran into Kruglov the first time he got there.[/QUOTE] Where was this stated? Because from my Wild Territory experiences they didn't do a very good job.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30472084]Where was this stated? Because from my Wild Territory experiences they didn't do a very good job.[/QUOTE] They always clean it up in my game. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Zezibesh;30472084]Freedom actually fights off someone, Duty just sits back and relaxes at their checkpoints.[/QUOTE] They fight the bandits, mutants and mercenaries. Freedom fights zombies, Monolith and mutants.

I have never seen Duty fight anyone but boars or bandits are their checkpoint. Bandits are the lowest of the low on the Zone ladder, even boars are more dangerous. "Mutant" is a pretty dumb category anyway, there's a big difference between a flesh and a bloodsucker.

Oh god X18 was everything BUT what I was expecting it to be, I freaked out at the very beginning when a a skeleton head or whatever started floating and smashed into me, I even recall it killing me the first time because I didn't understand what the fuck was happening :v: Also, I didn't understand how I killed the fire thing where the documents are, is it because i clashed into it or something?

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30472176]I have never seen Duty fight anyone but boars or bandits are their checkpoint. Bandits are the lowest of the low on the Zone ladder, even boars are more dangerous[/QUOTE] Except the fact that they can and almost did took over most of the garbage, which would cut off Rostok, Army Warehouses and Yantar off from the Southern Zone.

[QUOTE=croguy;30472119]They always clean it up in my game.[/QUOTE] Yep. After they pass through the Wild Territory to Yantar, the Mercs at the top of the construction yard stop spawning.

"Mutant" is a pretty dumb category anyway, there's a big difference between a flesh and a bloodsucker.[/QUOTE] The Monolith in Pripyat, right? Who does Freedom fight in ShoC besides that one wave of Monolith (not dissing good ol' Cap though) and Duty after the Scorcher is disabled? In CS they get their asses handed to them by Mercs and chalk the Merc attacks to ghosts or some other supernatural bs ffs. To be fair, Duty getting killed by fucking snorks was pretty pathetic too... [QUOTE=z0rz;30472217]Also, I didn't understand how I killed the fire thing where the documents are, is it because i clashed into it or something?[/QUOTE] No, you just shoot at it until it dies. If only Freedom would actually use those "guerrilla tactics" they're supposed to according to the lore.... Now they're using those SVD's and SVU's as assault rifles and get severely outgunned by Duty. I want to see A.I behaviour that could ambush other NPC's and the player. I want snipers to seek high ground, attach silencers on their rifles(if it's night) , take a few aimed shots at the opposition and then disappear into the night if they're getting shot at.

Who gives a shit if they took over Garbage? No one wants that place anyway, it's trash.

[QUOTE=croguy;30472119]They fight the bandits, mutants and mercenaries. Freedom fights zombies, Monolith and mutants.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure Freedom fight Mercs more often than Duty do bro.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30472264]Who gives a shit if they took over Garbage? No one wants that place anyway, it's trash.[/QUOTE] It might be trash, but you can't go anywhere from the Cordon or to the South if it's full of people that want to slaughter or rob people for their loot. Besides, it and Agroprom are major artifact fields. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=MuTAnT;30472316]Pretty sure Freedom fight Mercs more often than Duty do bro.[/QUOTE] They never actively engaged the Mercs, most of the time it was killing informants and stealing their prototype equipment.

Excuse me if I've been living under a rock, but what the hell is this WotW that everyone's on about? Oh nevermind I found it lolol

Besides, it and Agroprom are major artifact fields.[/QUOTE] The artifacts are worth 7RU per piece, and anyone could get through Garbage, they're only bandits man. About as threatening as a leaf falling from a tree.

[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;30472425]Excuse me if I've been living under a rock, but what the hell is this WotW that everyone's on about? Oh nevermind I found it lolol[/QUOTE] It's the best thing since sliced cheese.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30472474]The artifacts are worth 7RU per piece, and anyone could get through Garbage, they're only bandits man.

[QUOTE=Paravin;30472517]It's the best thing since sliced cheese.[/QUOTE] Two cheese related comparisons in two pages. Nice work bud. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] Holy shit, blowout soon fellow Stalkers! We need a subtitle for the next thread!

[QUOTE=Thorny;30472589]Holy shit, blowout soon fellow Stalkers! We need a subtitle for the next thread![/QUOTE] Full of faction dickwaving?

I was thinking something like 'Faction Wars Edition' but it needs to be wittier I feel.

Anarchists versus Fascists.

[QUOTE=Paravin;30472805]Anarchists versus Fascists.[/QUOTE] Freedom vs Duty?

I'm interested to see on which group is more appealing to people here, since there's an argument between both sides more or less equally. Artistic for Freedeom Wrench for Duty

I just installed SGM Blackbyte, but I get no SGM options in the main menu. I have changed gamedata to true, I get the SGM start up screen and the new music. Anyone know what's wrong?

At GSC it's slightly skewered towards Freedom IIRC but pretty equal Actually it has always been almost equal at every forum I've visited

Too long.

This is probably a stupid question, but does Redux do anything to the traders? I've given Cardan basic tools, and vodka, but all it gives me is the option to repair things. Is there more I need to do, or will he never do it?
