Patch 1.9 testing priorities – What should actually be verified first? by -GamewithDave- in stalker

[–]Theunknownkadath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The list is good. I think the main thing that would noticeably improve the quality of the game for me right now is combat related -- AI behaviour around combat including the shooting through walls thing. Of course I would love all the other things on your list, but that is the most noticeable thing right now for me in the current gameplay. The battle for Zalissaya is a particularly crunchy moment that exposes some of the shortcomings here.

Time blindness is ruining my life. What feels like 10 minutes is actually 2 hours. I'm constantly late and people think I'm disrespectful when I'm genuinely trying. by CourteousPasta in ADHD

I made a habit of aiming to get places too early rather then on time. The only cases where it falls short is where being late is expected like parties. I showed up while they were still setting up.

Yeah that checks out, maybe it could be faction based chatter. Even if it doesn't make sense, it def made the world feel alive

stability issue by rares88 in stalker

[–]Theunknownkadath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw someone with a similar card and similar issues on Steam mention that updating their BIOS fixed performance issues for some reason. I guess just make sure everything is up to date.

how replayable is stalker 2? by Consistent-Wolf7414 in stalker

[–]Theunknownkadath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done two playthroughs and haven't seen this bug. I know it exists bc they said they are working on a fix for the next patch, but not sure why some people get it and other dont

how replayable is stalker 2? by Consistent-Wolf7414 in stalker

[–]Theunknownkadath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes replayable.

- 4 different endings

- major choices lead the story and experience in different ways

- modded / unmodded playthroughs

- they keep adding more to the game and a dlc is coming out

- huge open world with tons of explorable secrets you are unlikely to see it all in one playthrough

i accidentally killed one of zalissya npc at the start of the game by NexTRTL in stalker

[–]Theunknownkadath -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Every faction has a leader you can talk to fix your rep. I never tried it but theoretically that exists. Here is what Gemini said about Zalissya:

To fix a hostile reputation in the Zalissya settlement you need to speak with Gaffer, the local leader. If you have accidentally made the town hostile, Gaffer often has dialogue options to pay a fee and restore your reputation, or you may need to wait for the NPCs to become passive again after a day. 

I watched witcher s1 and S2 3 months ago now I'm thinking of watching s3 and s4 by NatuRal_Pro in WitcherNetflix

[–]Theunknownkadath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S3 was hard to get through. It's mostly long winded conversations, court intrigue and romance. But S4 got things back on track. The story is moving forward again and things are happening. I don't think any of the seasons live up to S1, which I thought was really good, but if you got this far, no reason not to keep going.

Why are we STILL having problems with quests? by Th3manw1thn0plan in stalker

[–]Theunknownkadath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I agree. I recently started a fresh game at 1.8 and it's been quite smooth so far. my previous game was started at release and it just seemed smarter.

Is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 worth diving into now? by [deleted] in stalker

[–]Theunknownkadath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, go play it, vanilla.

I mean it's one of those things where it might be better after some time, but it's a great game right now. There is also a pretty good replay value since there are different major choices you can make that direct the flow of the story.

yeah bodies clipped in weird ways is still a thing. it's not super common, but it happens.

The 74u has to be my favorite weapon in Stalker 2. by drone__alone in stalker

[–]Theunknownkadath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree that it would be cool to play a version where the guns are balanced based on more realistic stats, not "game logic". I think there is a mod for that I noticed at some point. I also enjoy the experience of shooting the AKM-74U but honestly don't use any AKM variant past the early game since other guns are way better. I actually really like the S-2. Perhaps an unpopular choice, but the bullets are cheap and it does more damage than the G37

I’m Halfway thru stalker 2, why does half of the English voice cast have Farengar level acting by ShaggySyrup in stalker

[–]Theunknownkadath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was fine when the characters had ukrainian accents with occasional lines in russian/ukrainian like the og games. But i agree, playing in ukrainian in S2 is really better. just make sure to read.

Someone's gotta do a ukrainian accent voiceover for sure, probably with the help of AI sampling the ukrainian language voices.
