Damn smoothskins, all they do is ask stupid questions.
A patch to make it easier you say? Lol no, I like my Stalkers challenging.
This mod provides you with a extreme difficulty-hardcore experience. It´s inmersive, challenging and very very fun.
My only complaints are the unfinished translation (there are bits of Russian here and there), the usual few bugs, and the lack of repair kits, however, these are just little issues when comparing it with the overall experience that you get. Facing a pack of dogs, 4 pseudogiants, 2 chimeras, 3 controllers at Agroprom AND somehow reaching the gate of the complex only to find out that you must fight the soldiers on your own(hello roof-sniping!) because the others stalkers are dead is simply priceless!!
If you are looking for an unfair but doable challenge this is your mod.
