S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread - Taste vanilla before you add sprinkles~ - Games

Why the hell is there a merc squad in Zaton, at the substation outpost? I looked on the wiki and it said nothing about it.

It's been a while, I reinstalled Clear Sky because I missed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and for some reason I found myself starting with an AK equipped in my primary slot. Any ideas why that happened?

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;31161399]Why the hell is there a merc squad in Zaton, at the substation outpost? I looked on the wiki and it said nothing about it.[/QUOTE] Maybe they are an outpost.

So, how do I make god damned Livestream Procaster work with my ShoC? Should I use desktop capture? I use Game Capture but my interactive ingame chat doesn't work and I can't alt tab out to chat with my peeps watching.

Oh man, I had a really awesome stalker related dream again... So me, two random stalkers and this one guy I know got assinged by some dude in a trench coat with a SKAT-9 gas mask to check out some abandoned village in the very ass of The Zone, but it was for loads and loads of artifacts and rubles so we accepted. The place was on a small hill in the middle of a forest, somewhere East of Pripyat, I remember seeing the outskirts from a road where we met. Anyhow, we started heading to the village in like, 6AM, so it was foggy as fuck and you couldn't see pretty far. On the way there we heard some shootouts and a controller screech so we decided to take a side route through the forest just in case if zombies and controllers are lurking around the road, waiting for stalkers to come by. After a crossing few roads curves and after crossing a wooden bridge that was so rickety it felt like it'll collapse if a feather would land on it we finally arrived at the village. It was mad up of some five or six houses, a big, old building that was sitting in the middle, and a very high water tower that got leaned for like, 60° to it's side by gravitational anomalies, so you could climb on top of it and have a nice view of the region. Once we got into the center of the village we got attacked by a massive horde of boars, which we fought off, but that one guy I knew got rammed by a boar so we dragged him in a house and one of the guys started patching him up. At that time the other guy was checking out the house for valuable stuff while I was doing guard duty by watching out the window. Then I noticed something: not too far from where the boars came out, laying below a lamp post were the two corpses of a merc and an ecologist. The ecologist had some box full of documents laying next to him. I thought of heading over to loot them, but suddenly three humanoid figures came out of the fog. One of them was the guy in the trench coat with the SKAT-9 gas mask. He ran over to their corpses, picked up the documents, tapped something on the PDA, then looked me right in the eye through that faceless mask of his. He pulled it off, revealing that he was no other than Major Degtyarev, and raised the PDA to his mouth. Suddenly a voice came through my ear piece: "Get out of here, stalkers." Same thing happened to the rest of the team. We all realized that we could end up in deep shit once we heard Degtyarev's voice, so we quickly picked up our friend and some stuff, then legged it back through the forest all the way back to Rostok. As we were sitting in the 100 Rads Degtyarev came up to us and sat between us. He said something along the lines of "Thanks for getting rid of the mutants, but don't tell anyone about the place and what you saw." We all agreed, then he bought us some vodka and gave us our payment: several thousand rubles per stalker and a third-grade artifact. He walked out of the bar and the dream ended. I'm not sure if it's related to my Strelok and Degty going through a swamp dream, but it's arguably just as interesting. Oh yeah, I'll also be going on a vacation, so don't expect me to post back soon.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;31161250]I've never really liked Scar.[/QUOTE] Different strokes, different folks I guess. You're about Scar not having a personality since he never speaks,even in cutscenes or flashbacks like Strelok so we can't really know anything about him. Shame, because I like his "gruff old guy" look and I believe that a freelancer Mercenary working in the Zone before the Second Emission would have an interesting backstory but unfortunately we never learn about that..

Finally got a mic, maybe I'll stream with audio commentary. With my English as fuck accent because I'm French. [editline]17th July 2011[/editline] English as FUCK.

Recently after an emission, there were 3 dead bandits in the Skadovsk, what happened? I also can't leave the Skadovsk, which kind of sucks because there's no other way out. There were gunshots outside too.

I don't like him because there's nothing to like. He's an old veteran stalker, that's it. At least we know about Strelok a bit, that he was from the death truck, went to the CNPP a few times, had a group of people, ect. All we know about Scar is that he survived two blowouts and that he tried to kill Strelok.

[QUOTE=Jund;31163047]While they're all badasses Strelok and Degty are more human Scar has much emotional depth as a rock[/QUOTE] Degty seems the most human though. And Strelok is possibly a bit ... uh, "mental unstable"

[QUOTE=Jund;31163047]While they're all badasses Strelok and Degty are more human Scar has much emotional depth as a rock[/QUOTE] In my opinion, Strelok and Degtyarev are more badass than Scar in any case. Strelok certainly is at least.

god damn it, im near the end of SoC like, [sp]the part where you need to go into NPP and fight monoliths and get to the wish granter[/sp] and im stuck in that room. i need to get out to finish the rest of the game because i didnt know the credits would roll after. [editline]16th July 2011[/editline] holy shit never mind i just figured it out

[QUOTE=proch;31163002]An English-French accent while playing with Big faul accent NPC's.[/QUOTE] Clearly a True Stalker, accents to the max.

[QUOTE=hurts;31163221]In my opinion, Strelok and Degtyarev are more badass than Scar in any case. Strelok certainly is at least.[/QUOTE] Scar's disapproving glare profile shot pretty much sums him up. They're all badass but if it's a competition then Scar<Strelok<Degtyarev. Strelok has the skill and all that but he is an amnesiac just fighting through because he doesn't know what else to do. Degtyarev has less opportunity than Strelok but goes about it very nicely and with the I-got-this-shit attitude of Spetsnaz so he's probably better.

Hey, I was wondering can anyone help me... I downloaded STALKER a while back from GamesForwindows (Smoke crack nigga!) and I wanna' put in the Complete 2009 mod... My only problem, I literally can't find the program files for it; I shit you not, their nowhere to be seen not even in the shortcut path it gives me. I just wanna' make a backup then buy it on steam and delete every trace of its existence from my PC along with the gamesforwindows launcher =p

Strelok is the most BA in my opinion.

I liked Scar more because I felt free. I could side with any faction I wanted to. I could go about completing the main quest in any fashion I wanted to.

[sp]Joining puts you in a tube and connects your brain to them. Saying no sends you to the back of the CNPP and you have to fight through some more Monolith before you get to the true ending.[/sp]

[QUOTE=myng;31163706]The cannon way is(and the best way) to [sp] not join the c-consciousness[/sp][/QUOTE] i can always go back and do the other choice :v:

Hey guys. I'm thinking about getting Clear Sky. Is it any good?
