Nice. Another Stalker fan.

I'd have to say Shadow of Chernobyl is my favourite. Though Clear Sky's blowouts are a brilliant touch. If you want them in SoC, get the Oblivon Lost mod.
I've completed the game, but I still can't get the good endings. I forget the encoder.

Lol, I did the same thing as soon as I found out. In the first versions of the game though, it was a Stalker Suit. I just sold it to Sidrovich.

Ah, I love that game. But X18 still freaks the hell out of me.

Iäve heard that there should be a mod like that out there but I never catched the name of it. Thank you Actually I've never played a modded version of the game... I'm looking forward to this one, just gonna make another playthrough first. I haven't gotten all the ending for any of the games yet (Don't know how many there is in the sequels) but I'm going for my fifth end in Shadow of for the moment. My goal is to have less than 50k RU's and bad carma.... in other words.... Hey there is a guy with a guitar....stab stab stab stab.

Oh so there was another suit before the patches... and you sold it ^^
I've gone through the game twice before without patches and now I'm running it on the fifth patch. It's a new game for me. Suddently quests that didn't work before springs to life and I discover new things constantly. It makes me all warm and fussy on the inside^^
There is one thing I don't like with the patches thou. It feels like it much easier to get into the NPP itself. If you just run and don't stop no one hits you. In my kniferun I managed to get myself inte the NPP only dying three times from the start to the end of the map. I wasn't able to do anything like that in the unpatched version. Acording to what I can remember the unpatched version was harder at some locations.

Have some of you tried the Extem Mod? I've seen it around for a while and I think I might try it some day but it would be nice to hear some opinions about it first :3

And yes.... X18 is the Soviet definition of hell.

No problem. I haven't got the mod just yet, but I'm planning to as soon as possible.
My current goal is probably to get the good ending, and to get to 'Legendary Stalker' status in a short time. This included the one man siege of the bandit place near the camp. I used a Viper 5 I got from selling stuff to Sidrovich.

Lol. If only the guitar was a usable weapon.
Yeah, I actually had the unpatched version for quite a while. It stuffed up, so we bought a new version, now with patches. Sure, no stalker suit, but a merc suit's better than nothing.
I remember Prypiat being harder than the NPP in the unpatched game...

I haven't got that mod yet, but I'll check it out. Could you give any details?

And yes, X18... (shivers). Monsters everywhere, creepy sounds, darkness, and to top it off, more enemies when you get out.

Aaah, I just did that... in a way. The guys you are suposed to meet up before you kill off the bandits.... apperantly they were friends to the guy laying on the ground beside the road. Since I'm on my carma rampage I gave him the healthpack he asked for and then I stabbed him as a friend. I think it might affect the carma more, atleast I hope so. Any way... when I meet up with the guys they took a shot at me instead of the bandits. So then I had a shotgun while raiding the bandits... much more effective than the silented pistol^^
I just tried the Viper for the first time in ages. It's one of those weapons I just kinda look at and walks away in usual cases but it was a wonderfull piece. My main weapon now^^

By the way. Have you found Gordon Freeman and his Big Ben?

"Lol. If only the guitar was a usable weapon. " Now that's an idea! There must be a mod for it out there somewhere xD

The Extrem mod was a graficmod from the begining if I've got it right but later on it grew and now it includes new AI and new weapons and so on. And I belive that it also combined some things from the sequels with the original. Like repearing and such things. I think the maker is a 14 year old kid from France. My belief is that is a simpler version of the Oblivion Lost mod you mentioned earlier :3

Yeah, took me a while though. He's under a tunnel in the Wild Territory or 'Rostok'.
Love it, but pretty annoying buying those expensive rifle bullets.
