Dialogue Expanded v4 - Redpill Edition addon

TLDR: The mod replaces the "tips" dialogues with MISERY's information dialogues. You can choose the "I want to ask you something" as usual when talking to stalkers and pick the fourth option, which was formerly the "tips" option. Dialogue Expanded's information dialogues are still intact, so you can now hear two infos from a stalker at once.

PS: Maybe don't choose that for Monolith and Sin jihadists to retain immersion.

You will choke on that redpill whether you like it or not, you Flint-looking motherfucker!

MISERY's information dialogues are kino in my ape brain when it comes to writing. It not only gives you more tips, but many of the dialogues encapsulates the absolute fuckery that is the Zone and the effects it had on us fellow stalkers. As much as I enjoyed indyora's Dialogue Expanded addon, which a lot was also included in Anomaly's 1.5.1 update, I still find myself glued to tales that stalkers in MISERY would tell in camp.

Compared to Anomaly, and apart from being more detailed, it also felt grounded and gritty, and it adds to MISERY's bleak atmosphere. Again, I think it was the writing that struck with me.

So what happens here?

Normally, when you "want to ask something" to a stalker, you can ask for tips in the fourth option.

Now that's gone. I replaced all "tips" dialogues with MISERY's info lines, then added further "tips" lines to expand until I got to the last line.

Not all of MISERY's info lines are included as those exceptions are story-based dialogues which depends with your progress and choices in Call Of Pripyat's main and side quests, like choosing Freedumb over Doody in Yanov. In other words, they are meant for CoP as intended. The rest are applicable anywhere.

As a bonus, I haven't touched Dialogue Expanded's information dialogues, so with this mod, you get two for one BABY! BLYAT!

"But what about straightforward tips, Kino? How do I surv-"

Here's your rusty, decrepit TOZ and bandages, stalker. Now fuck around and find out. Whalecum to the Zone, bitch.

Talk to stalkers, read the PDA or just Google. If you aren't brainwashed by Scorcher yet, maybe engage with the STALKER community. Don't say anything stupid, we might lynch you like snorks. :)

Hope you have a good conversation, stalker. Stay redpilled.

A warm thanks to indyora for the appreciated Dialogue Expanded addon. You are cool, stalker

Medication samples:

"I've been here since the beginning, man. Ever since the Zone was wild and everyone was killing everyone to hold down a rusty piece of shit in the middle of nowhere. It was dog eat dog, kill or be killed... Some say it has never changed and it has always been like this. I just don't agree. There was a time when it was different, you know? More order. It's like God, right? You might be indifferent to him, and he may be a fucking cruel and spiteful being who only wishes to rape and destroy everything you hold dear, but there was some sort of logic to the madness... The Ten Commandments and shit... keep to this, and you'll probably be alright. The Zone used to be like this. You could sort of predict what was going to happen.... now it's all changed. Everything's gone to shit... you can't predict anything. Artifacts used to be visible to the naked eye, the Monolith kept to themselves... now that some crazy fucker turned the Scorcher off and everyone went north, all bets are off. There's no God left in this place, man. Only the Zone... and if that doesn't terrify you, you clearly haven't been here long enough."

"Hope is a dangerous thing to have in the Zone. There are those who will tell you it is all that keeps them moving, gives them the drive to go on - but I say it is the most dangerous thing of all. The Zone knows. Everything. Your desires, your wants, you dirty secrets... It knows everything. There's not a single thought in your head that the Zone doesn't know, and you can't hide anything from it. Forget privacy: you should assume that whatever you do, whatever you know, whatever you feel the Zone already knows. And you have to remember that the Zone despises feelings, all feelings, but hope, in any form, makes it especially angry. A friend of mine had a family back home. A beautiful wife and two daughters. He would tell me about them all the time, just couldn't stop yapping. I remember there was one thing he always carried with him - an album full of photos of his family. He kept telling me that "today was the day" he was going to make it. And it seemed that this day finally came. He got lucky, found an artifact nobody had ever seen before, took it to the scientists and it turned out they were willing to pay a shitload of money for it. Literally. They didn't have this much dough with them at the moment, so he had to wait for their next supply drop... So yeah, he made it. Then he suffered a bite to the leg. A dog. What started off as a routine infection suddenly got worse. The wound started to fester, maggots made it their home, flies were buzzing around. In no time all flesh in the leg was eaten away. No doctor could help him. Amputation didn't work, infection spread too fast for us to be able to contain it. And the smell, this god-awful smell, would stay with him till his last day. He died before he could get paid... I don't know what happened to the artifact. I wouldn't be surprised if the Zone reclaimed it. After that I wanted to contact his family... Let them know what really happened, but nobody had the slightest idea who he was or where he came from. No hope, Stalker... It will kill you. Trust me on this."

"I never sell any repair items, man, I just keep them in my box. I know it's good loot, merchants love to buy 'em, but I think it's better to just use 'em for my weapons and armor. When you sell something to someone, you sell it cheaper than the price you can buy it for, and then when you buy repair items from someone else, you've got to pay again, and in the end you lose a lot of money. Do shit on your own, it's much more frugal and you get to save a lot. Stalkers don't know how to save here, and whine all the time that they don't have enough dough. What did you think when you came here, you motherfucking piece of dead rat? The Zone taxes you. Materials are hard to come by, weapons even harder. You don't just pay for that one shooter, but you pay for the whole infrastructure that supports the war machine that enables you to buy that one shooter. It's a simple economy, and you should be aware that everything here is expensive as doing everything has its risks and its costs."
