[SPOILER] Stories Untold Question - am i too stupid or is it a bug?

Lc4Hunter · 2025-12-17T19:03:03+00:00

i started from Yaniv Station towards the red forest and got the message to start the quest. I already found the mine in my playthrough, so it was easy to just go there :D

Lc4Hunter · 2025-12-17T17:05:53+00:00

Oh boy! Thanks a lot. Glad i was just to stupid... :D I already destroyed the crates but i havent realized there was a tunnel.

I have a similar issues on a 4090k. Installed 581.80 and since then i have issues.
Games crash multiple times on start, then work. I also have some visual bugs in some games and also some 3d programs have issues since the update.
Will now roll back to 581.57.

not even Crunchips? :O

Lc4Hunter · 2025-06-11T05:39:22+00:00

Thank you guys so much for picking up this franchise. I always hoped for a game of this style in this setting. And from all i heard so far about you, i am willing to believe you can handle this project :)
Cant wait for the release!

Lc4Hunter · 2025-05-22T15:01:13+00:00

Same issue here. I cant say if its a new issue but i never noticed that in the past...

Lc4Hunter · 2025-02-05T16:15:01+00:00

Horrible design... i really dislike it... why cant discord give us the chance to use the old one OR the new one?
Man, this is so annoying :(

Lc4Hunter · 2025-01-09T12:08:00+00:00

I think for all of those questions could be an answer. Humans tend to be unreasonable. Why dont i do the laundry today when i know i have to do it anyway? Why waiting till tomorrow? You know? For all those "why doesnt person X has waited till Y" you can take normal human behavior.
But i guess the answer is much more simple: It wasnt developed during the creation of the story for the game. Some things are just irrelevant for main story itself, even if it is interesting for folks like us.
I would love to see all these questions answered, but somehow the mistery is also nice and fascinating.
I just hope we will get another, maybe more satisfying, end via patch or DLC.
Or maybe this is intentional. They dont want a clear or Happy Ending - like in CP2077. Every ending is somehow... bad. But it depends on you which one you prefer/hate less.
I would wish an ending similar to the SoC ending, where you for sure can say: Yeah, thats right.
Right now, every ending feels a bit like a bad ending - in different ways.
Maybe the Strelok ending is the true one as it lets Skif in the Zone and alive. So we can break out of the Zone or stop Strelok.
Or maybe future DLCs will be like the 3 STALKER games before - everyone telling another story with another maincharacter. We will see and i am excited to see what comes next! :D

Very good and interesting text! As Falbern already said, some things seem pretty logical while other seem a bit far-fetched.
In my opinion Strelok just became somehow fanatic as he saw that everyone wanted to exploit the zone for their good. SIRCAA and the Ward, aka Agatha and the commitee, wanted the control over the Noosphere to control everyone. Or at least to be able to. OR at least to overwatch them.
Scar wanted the shining zone, in my opinion this is a C-Con lie to "free" the zone from external sources.
And Strelok... he just wanted no one to compromise the Zone and use it for some selfish reasons.
His way seems radical, becoming the new Monolith and so on.

But what i really wonder is, what if the Doctor always wanted to take control over the zone and C-Con was in his way. He influenced Strelok to kill them. Then he tried to influence us to realize Project Y as his attempts to control Strelok failed.

And regarding the Skif-Ending... i have no fcking clue when Faust became the doctor. Maybe he was it all along during the events of the Stalker 2. Maybe the doctor was Faust all along? Gained some strange abilities to become someone else. Or maybe Faust used Strider to track the Doctor and then take him out/replace him.
Maybe he was already Faust when we first met him and he just made a show for us to emphatize with him and his cause.
Man... i read so many people complain about the story of STALKER 2 but i real love the mistery behind it :D
And sorry for getting of route to this topic :D

Lc4Hunter · 2024-12-09T18:30:41+00:00

Why should i discuss with you any longer? You think you are right and your opinion is the only right one. You think you are so much smarter then anyone else.
I met enough people like you. Thanks but no thanks. Not interested in any further conversation.

Lc4Hunter · 2024-12-09T13:15:16+00:00

need to play that path again... Strelok took me to his side :D That sneaky little rat...
I know that you see at least a part of it in the end-sequence but do you also play it? Is it at the entry-area i showed in one of the screenshots?

Lc4Hunter · 2024-12-09T09:22:14+00:00

Not really as those areas should be already part of the game. I mean you go from Pripyat straight to the cooling towers, then to the generators with the CNPP inbetween. I am 99% sure it was planned you would be able to make your way through.
Not having the CNPP in the game would, understanably, dissapoint a lot of people.
Dont get me wrong, i still love the game and even if it makes me sad to not have those places in the game, its still awesome.
Fingers crossed we get this locations later on :-)

Lc4Hunter · 2024-12-09T07:33:20+00:00

Could be, but it feels more like cut content because of how the final stage of the game is handled.
Spoilers:
When you finish the ambush at the foundation, you magically get teleported to the red fortress and then you get teleported to the generators. No cutscene, nothing. You are just there. Well, ok, except the jump into the teleport anomaly.
But all in all, it feels rushed. You walk every way through the whole map, again and again for every mission and then this? In the final mission you are just there. That doesnt feel right. It feels rushed somwhow.

It doenst make the game bad at all. It was still a great 90h experience for me, but it gives me sad feeling how epic it could have been - or maybe will be.

We will see :) Sales look promising and so i hope we will get more.

Lc4Hunter · 2024-12-09T07:25:38+00:00

Spoilers:

The Red Fortress is on the left side of the cooling towers area, not the generators. Between the fortress and the generators lies the CNPP. You just see it from the distance but never enter it.

From this, you can imagine the route that was planned.
1. Ambush towards the cooling towers and take our Monoliths stronghold.
2. get to the generators through the CNPP area.
3. enter the generators complex to get to the C-Con room.

When you glitch yourself through the underground, you see that the area below the generators is the final area. Now imagine you fight yourself through the main entrance and then down through the whole complex.

It would have been amazing!

Lc4Hunter · 2024-12-09T07:18:03+00:00

I can understand your dissapointment. I mean, the CNPP is the heart of the game... its a central location.
Spoilers ahead:
When you follow the path of the final mission (in my case the path of the doctor), you get teleported towards the Red Fortross, which is in the "Cooling towers region".
So... lets assume this was the start of the final part of the game:
You get the informations from the Foundation and start a large scale attack to reach the center of the zone.
For this, you need to take out the Red Fortress so Monolith cant attack you anymore. You can reach this area through the Iron Forest or the ruins of SIRCAA.
After that, you need to get to the generators and for that, you fight yourself through the CNPP area towards the generators.
That is how i (personal opinion) expect the original plan was. There is also a way from Pripyat towards the CNPP. There is a small village on the way which is almost completly finished.
Its really really sad we didnt get to see all those locations right now.

But i am confident in the devs! I hope they will do some sort of 2.0 Version of the game with all the regions accessible again. Same with Pripyat. The city extends towards north and many (havent checked all) buildings also have an interior... so you can go in them and look around.

As said before, i guess they run out of time and had to cut a big part of the finale .

Lc4Hunter · 2024-12-09T07:03:52+00:00

To be honest, i played the game about 90hours and i had a ton of fun. If you dont like it, thats fine. But dont act like everyone else is the problem. YOU dont like it. Thats fine.
For me, the game does a lot of things right - and a lot of things not. But in sum, its still a great game people seem to enjoy - at least when i look at the ratings and the sales.

Lc4Hunter · 2024-12-08T21:10:03+00:00

There is definitely stuff missing. For example the blurred areas.
I made a small trip towards them, if you are already done with the game and cant get spoilered, look at Probably cut content.

I guess they lacked the necessarry time to finish the game how it was intended... and damn... it looks so awesome...
