God it looks so nice and dense as opposed to all the previous S.T.A.L.K.E.R game with little tufts of grass scattered about here & there.

A while ago I heard of a way to join the Monolith in TFW. Is all you do is get maximum negative rep with all the factions? Also, I have a shitload of these faction patches, and it says I can sell them to a trader but no trader or bar is interested. How do I sell them?

[Purple Magpie]

Faction patches are sold to YOUR faction's trader. You have to be part of a faction to sell them, as I recall.

The new vegetation is awesome, but why do the graphics look so washed out?

[CodeMonkey3]

Not a huge fan of SGM, I'll just have to wait for the new LURK.

I can take a whack at this shit. I'm more of a comedy man, but dark shouldn't be too hard.

Also, I've been meaning to find some motivation to write a small story about how Father Valerian and his elite bodyguards were tricked by the Counterpart to go into Red Forest, where they were all killed by snorks.

[sp]The Valerian you encounter is really the Counterpart, etc., etc..[/sp]

It would be pretty interesting to see more parallels drawn between Stalker and Westerns imo.

I am pretty sure I said ages ago that STALKER is a Western. Think about how long you spend at a bar, shooting bandits, outdoors is not too hospitable, low population, military patrols.

irks me that its on safety but fucking awesome otherwise

[etcetera]

The discovery of artifacts prompted a gold rush. And like the gold rush in California, few people actually get rich from finding artifacts. The real money is in being a trader.

Sid's read his history.

[wwlfr]

is CoP Reloaded any good?

Anyone ever played Borderlands 2? When I got up to the first real town and met the elemental weapons dealer, 1:1 replica of Sidorovich

[Araknid]

so I'm playing OGSE
I did the starting part where you find the artifact and help Tolik, and now I'm meant to go talk to Wolf.
The issue is, whenever I go in the village, I get shot at by everyone.
Am I meant to help Tolik find those stupid crossbow bolts because I said I couldn't be bothered

[Tinter]

Borderlands and Stalker?

Yeah, I basically think of him as Sid whenever I play Borderlands.

Re-start a new game. Follow Sid's words and don't sell him anything until you're accepted by the village.

I'm looking for a challenge for SOC. I don't want a total conversion tho. Is LURK a good choice?

Zone of Alienation

[Beacon]

oh man that LA vegetation looks amazing

[Ghost101]

It's always crazy how much good grass/foliage can do for terrain. Like Morrowind looks a million times better with grass added over what was formerly just green flat ground.

[QUOTE=Vivi_O;41782563]Zone of Alienation[/QUOTE]

Thanks! ZOA looks more actively developed than LURK anyway/

[Araknid]

So a couple of grunts tried to attack the rookie village, and I found an RPG on one of them with two rounds.
Naturally I thought I'd be able to easily attack the military base

I thought wrong

If you are to be serious about this, I will promise that I will write one to the best of my slightly degraded capabilities just for you.
Idunno if Paravin has enough time, but hell, I used to write a story for individual thread people too. If you're really looking for something absolutely serious, then you're actually better off looking at the good old (controller thrall vs controller thrall) and ("bread") stories.
