While STALKER 2 may cease to exist entirely, some dedicated few such as these people have committed to providing us something which would be as close to a unique STALKER immersion as we'll ever get to experience. MISERY is true to it's title for this mod.
You'll begin with no real advantage, weapons and cash you'll have to scrounge for loot and limited supplies and dangers of wandering around in the dark could mean certain death if you're unlucky to run into a mutant horde or a group of zombies. Even more so if you are hauling heavy loot back halfway to a safe-house and hear the deathly deep buzz of a approaching emission.
However while cruel and harsh in the beginning it keeps you fairly balanced all the way through. Even when you get a decent suit and weapon, you are still prone to death in combat with human and mutant alike if you're not using cover or range to your advantage. While game-play has evolved to a hardcore survival style system, it does include a new means of defending yourself with nearly 3 times the array of weapons at your disposal including upgrades to utilize them with. And while deadly new emissions are more common and dangerous, it provides you a good chance to find a possible rare artifact to use or sell to further help your goal to reach the end.
For those that crave a more serious and tactical experience MISERY is the mod for you. But a fair warning, this mod will test the abilities of even a master stalker to it's limit.
