Stalker's gonna make all of your nightmares come true,
Stalker's gonna put all of your fears into you,
Stalker's gonna keep you right here, inside the zone.
He won't let you flee, but he might let you lone

[XSarcYX]

Almost beat CoP for the first time.

What should I play as my modded playthrough? Redux or Pripyatan?

[Rexen]

REDUX

So, stalkers.

Are you a hunter or a scavenger?

Do you more often find yourself engaging every hostile you see or do you avoid battles and loot bodies that were already dead before you got there?

Me? I'm a hunter. Every time I see a red dot on the radar, I must see it turn grey.

I wish scavenging in all games, not only Stalker, would be more awesome.

[Dr.C]

It depends on my gear and what I'm doing. If I need to be somewhere for a mission, I'll avoid whatever is there. If I'm out looking for stuff, I will kill everything that moves and that includes anomalies

More of a hunter but more than anything I love the phase when you're slowly gearing up and turning from a scavenger into a hunter.

In the earlygame I love the thrill of trying to hide and run away from the stronger enemies, leading them to friendlies/ monsters and then looting the corpses of the losing party.

The following applies to mainly Call of Pripyat :

If I am just starting a "raid" (hunt for artifacts/mutant parts/ just chilling with fellow stalkers) I tend to engage more aggressively (though I only shoot hostile-on-sight enemies unless they're threatening my bros) but if I have found artifacts or cool new weapons from a raid, I won't engage unless I feel I have the upper hand in the battle.

If I find that I would be outgunned, I tend to snipe one or two stalkers and make a tactical retreat.

I already do.
But sheesh, you don't need to go to critical mass if I happen to be playing vanilla.
Speaking of radars, does anyone know of any custom HUD mods for all the games? Preferably something minimalistic.

In the early stages, I avoid fights and only fight them if they are in my way (I'm a lazy stalker) but if I'm out just roaming around, I'll pick fights with anything hostile.

[fartparty]

So this may have already been mentioned/fixed, but I just got the balanced IL-86 from killing master stalker (VERY early in the game). I ran back to Duty to sell my old IL-86 back to the barkeep, then went back and loaded the map again (same map where you kill Master Stalker) and now everything's invisible.

I was noticing some gfx glitches before (small stretching textures in the bar, HUGE stretching textures in the arena) and now the ground and all the vehicles, rocks, etc. are completely invisible.

WHAT DO.

Might be something with your graphic card.

You are now one with the zone.

The 460 error doesn't really look like that though

Greetings, stalkers! Just came back from the from the long forgotten town of Dubrovnik! I had to go through the dreaded Bosnia anomaly twice just to get near it! good thing I took a professional guide along, otherwise me and my wallet would be swiped clean the second I reached the place.

Nonsense, it's obviously a light show anomaly!

True but I've never seen anomalies(hurr) quite like those

Is it possible to make bandits attack you on sight in CoP? No matter how many times I fuck them over they never seem to care.

[Zander]

Bandits don't give a shit.
