I just finished the agropom underground section and oh man that thing was intense!

I killed one controller and said phew then i noticed a burer then the game spawns 4 snorks 2 more controllers and 4 more burers!(not to count the 6 zombies that were already there). I was reloading older saves they werent going away i had to deal with all of them!

All hell broke loose so to speak. And at the end when i exited through the cave south of the military base a burer throwing kamehamehas was awaiting me with 4 angry flesh!
The moment i shoot the flesh burer one shots me with a kamehameha. The moment i shoot at the burer i was getting jumped by the 4 flesh. I couldnt move left or right to avoid burer's kamehameha as the exit passage of the cave was too narrow.
After many tries lady luck smiled at me and killed the burer by total chance.

This game and mod is more challenging than dark souls!

I'm on call of misery mod. i checked my faction statistics and i have neutral relation with freedom, but at the warehouse base there's a guy named slavic five and couple others that are hostile towards me and force me to shoot them and turn the whole base hostile towards me. If i improve my relations with freedom more will these hostile guys become neutral?

I messed up in the army warehouses and now the freedom guys at the mechanic's building are shooting at me and i need to deliver tools and get paid for a mission by a guy there.

The freedom guys at the bridge are friendly, if i do missions for them will i become friends again with the freedom guys that are now hostile to me?

Ok i'm in the army warehouses with 2 loners in my team and 120,000 cash on the spot. I'm confident that i'm ready to pursue the exoskeleton suit. Oh by the way i'm on the call of misery mod and i'm scared to go through the forest.
Can someone advise me the easy way of getting the exo suit?

It looks in alunaido's post the solution to be the lowering of the grass setting, but i like the grass as it is.

Are you talking about the lab close the scientific banker?
After the burer and the controller, in the tunnels i only encountered snorks,few zombies and now a pseudogiant. Didnt see any monolith soldiers. I'm still trying to figure out how to take the pseudogiant out or try to hide and run etc. I have few smoke grenades and they do nothing to blind him/conceal me from him so i can hide.

I was able to find a medkit, increase my health enough so i could kill the controller with the help of a psiblock before my health drained completely.I was left with 2 squares of health though. I saw a video on youtube where a guy playing call of chernobyl saw no more enemies after he took out the controller on his way out of the tunnels. So i was like "it's all smooth sailing from now on", only to be surprised by 5-7 snorks, zombies and now a freaking PSEUDOGIANT! ARE YOU SERIOUS? What the hell is this, i'm limping i cannot run, i threw all my grenades at him, empty my clip 3 times nothing is working. Oh my goodness, this mod is so scary and awesome!

Guys i need your help, i disabled the miracle machine and then the door that you open in the vanilla to take the shortcut out of there is already opened, the whole screen turns green as like there's an anomaly or a controller and then i die instantly. Anyone knows why is this happening?

I'm using the call of misery addon.
I bought a cs3-a suit from nimble which i could have bought for 20000 cheaper from the trader in clear sky base.
I was aiming to buy the automatic shotgun from nimble and then i found it over 20000 cheaper at the trader in clear sky base.
Recently noticed too sid to be expensive compared to the duty trader and couple more i have come across but dont mind due to good memories from the vanilla stalker games, always like to visit him from time to time lol.

Nimble ripped me off big time. Be warned my fellow stalkers.
His armors and most of his weapons can be bought from the clearsky trader for far less.

Thanks for the info. The items like glue, rope etc that say they repair weapons and armor at 3% or 6% do i need a specific item like we use the stove for cooking in order to use them?

I have call of misery addon and noticed you can do small repairs on weapons and armor on your own. Which repair kits do you guys recommend?

Also i found a flash artifact inside a closed container on a dead soldier.
I tried to take it out and sell it to sidorovich but couldnt.
Is there a way to sell the artifacts you find in closed lead containers?

The cs3-b is little more expensive so i will try to get more money to get that instead.
Do the stats for the helmet apply to the whole body or just the head?
For example if i find a helmet with 30% radiation protection and i wear a suit with 0% radiation protection does the 30% apply to the whole body?
One more thing i need help with, i just made it to the duty base and the comrade is missing, same thing with wolf and various other leaders missing from where you usually find them in the vanilla game, is that normal?
Thanks for all the info by the way which will make my life in the zone less miserable :)

Thanks for the help!
I just reinstalled the game with the latest patch. A problem i have now is every time i exit the game i get a black screen or blue screen with message "video memory management internal". Do you know why it does that?

I installed lost alpha last night and after i made some changes to the keys and graphics i had to restart the game for the changes to take effect. After that the game wouldn't load at all giving me an error every time.

Just found out in a youtube video i should not change any keys or i will get what exactly happened to me last night lol.
Back to redownloading and reinstalling to give it another try.

Finally was able to play by putting it to compatibility mode xp sp3. The game still freezes though many times especially when hitting escape, is that normal?

I noticed long ago "strelok" to be a clever anagram of "stalker/stolker=strelok" and found it to be pretty cool. And for that reason alone i think strelok should be in every stalker game that is if stalker 2 ever gets made apart that he is an amazing character too.

I thought the stalker fans here should know that's why i made this post.

Should i play the lost alpha or wait for the DC?
If it's better to wait for the DC does anyone know how many more moths will it take to release?
