friend of stalker Thread - MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

hello i know that it as no point in misery but in real and in game i play the same i never like been part or related to a faction due to the fact freedom and self choice are important, specially for free play and i tried to get friend of stalker is it possible to gain it or its disabled?

Are you referring to the man of balance? I don't believe any of the lifestyle choices or affiliations have been removed. Some of the effects may have been reduced. I can't tell you the exact combination of things you need to do to make both Duty and Freedom happy without siding with one or the other. Less enemies essentially means less loot and less enemies if you continue into free play. That equals less challenge and loot again.

Isn't friend of stalker the "One of ours" achievement?

well in cop there one of our i get that one without a problem but there also friend of stalker its that one inwonder if it still works or gain, i know man of balance is gainable

Oh, you mean this??

It should work. I'm not sure since I didn't save Mitay yet.

ya but i did all that and didnt get friend of stalker it might be misery disabled

Actually you can get, I tested it. The thing is, you need to max your reputation with stalkers. If you kill stalkers and loot them you will get bad reputation.

Well done Do you need to leave that smarmy Snag alive? It's always so hard not to plug him where he lays .... I caught him and Flint walking into Yanov almost hand in hand.

I'm not very sure, because I didn't do his quests yet. I'd rather get stuff from a trader or loot it than tell Nimble to get one for me(which activates the "stolen goods" questline). Also, as long as you sided with Beard in the transaction and hit missions you can tell Gonta about Magpie and that should give you the reputation you lost killing Snag back. Because I did some stalker missions, and I didn't do Flint's false claims quest yet. The reason being, it's so damn troublesome to find Splinter in the Quarry without a minimap xD

Heading from the scoop of the crane towards swamp, he is always straight out with nearly no corrosion anomaly in your way. If you look before it is triggered, he won't be there yet. If you have adequate anomaly protection there is almost always artifact(s) nearby, but I rarely bother with swamp artifacts due to wear and tear on armor.

chesseeater@ i didnt kill a single stalker i did watch them die and loot them is looting them effect the reputation?

No, looting them doesn't. What quests/questlines did you finish? For me, Mutant Hunter and Detective(the quests you need to get them) helped a lot because the quest-givers were stalkers. Not sure if it makes much of a difference, but in short, the achievement is not misery disabled.

well i mostly dont all of them mutant hunter amd detective is done

Did you:

1. Tell trapper about killing the chimera at zaton(after doing the bloodsucker quest, talk to Gonta)

2. Save mitay

3. Pay Vano's debt

I'm a dull creature of habit and I reliably get Friend of Stalker after:

1. Bloodsucker quest
2. Kill Tremor
3. Artefact at the Dredge station (don't know if relevant, I always kill Tuna and his buddies)
4. Repel the Bandit attack at Shevchenko (don't know if relevant, these attackers are identified as stalkers)
5. Kill Morgan at Ranger station
6. Night hunt with Gonta and report to Trapper
7. Pay Vano's debt
8. Pay MItay's ransom

On talking to MItay's buddies in Yanov I always get Friend of Stalker after doing the above. After this, I buy the SEVA which is usually my first suit (Sniper, Recon playthroughs).

Looting dead stalkers doesn't effect reputation -- I think it should. It's mostly how I get my gear at the start of the game.

yup i did a new save and only did stalker quest didnt get it

oh now i get it 2 part i use mines before activating the quest duty and bandit trades they die on spwan, and the ambush at the dread station by keeping the video part i didnt get the reputation

dogmaget thanks to lay out the quest this new save game is now how i wanted lol freeplay time thanks for the info peeps now i feel like an idea skipping some part in the scipted mission does screw up some thing

Yes, the game does not get along well if you do things GSC just didn't take into consideration as likely. Things like shooting the mercs atop the scientists bunker, and as you said, using mines which never existed before. It's fun to experiment with doing things different ways, but doesn't always work with the hard coded portion of game.

well the mission where you get morgan pda i normally get 2 large mines set them up left and right the. talk to bread start the mission talker to then i go talk to the stalker all i have to do is loot lol

secomd one is at the dredge station, i set up 2 mines one on the ramp, and one at the fromt of the superstructure on the boat then pick up the artifact, shot in the head the guy at the door before trigger the script and that ruin my froemd of stalkers lol

sorry for the bad soelling am using a tablet icrap, and its useless for some forums

Those are not very hard missions, save the money on mines and play them straight up At least that mystery is solved.

its more fun to blow the crap out of them lol, atless the bloodsucker one i can mine them i blow them so hard they where hangimg on the fence

its like the merc camp when you go there and wait for lunch if you go on the left side there one merc sitting next to a truck, one patrolling near the fence opening, and one at the door way of the building, but if ya stay hidden around 12 or 10 pm they tend to go inside if you get behind the building to the pipes you can go in unnoticed grab the laptop and head out coz half of them but 3 are asleep on the first floor

that my fun lol btw i did that with an assulter loli spend a lot of time on top of the big bridge with bino watching them all day and night and study there patrol and habit
