great progress from the beloved last day

For me, it all came together with this modpack.. I've been playing the STALKER games since release and now with Last Day, the immersion into the life of stalker reaches new heights and makes me wanna come back to the Zone every day.. Amazing work

version 2.1.1
For me, there are some things that Misery does truly *perfectly*
- everything related to cooking/eating, from hunting animals (mostly fleshes for bacon:), through obtaining meat chops, to cooking interface and eating itself is just brilliant and so immersive. Radiation poisoning from the cooked meat can be easily nulified with just a bit of water, so even together with the expenses for the stove and fuel it's still a lot more cost efficient than buying ordinary healthy food (besides you can't buy a bacon so..). Some people complain about not being able to walk while eating. Well, I WILL NOT EAT MY CRISPY BACON WHILE WALKING THROUGH THE SWAMP. I want to sit down, forget about everything and enjoy this temporal moment of peace and happiness. No matter if you're home, at school, at work, or in the Zone. ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR BACON. (I'm dead serious)
- second, the casual everyday items. This sh*t really got to me. I was at Skadovsk, sorting out the stuff I got from the last trip, during which I let a pack of dogs kill a fellow stalker just so that I could have his gear. So I was going through his items and I came over a "picture of a beautiful woman", while 'Turn the page' was creeping on me from downstairs. And I felt like a bad person, and never did that since (but I always shoot the bandits, always). But with that I was sold to this mod. It's just these little things that add up to already strong immersion of this game. THIS is STALKER.
- third, graphics - I really like mutants retexturing, blowouts, weather, helmet huds, and the overall gloomy mood

Those features are basically the reason for my high votes. Ofc, there are still some things that could use some tweaks
- like combat balance - you know, I don't mind going down fast, but I would also expect them to go down fast, especially after I slammed them to the chest with my TOZ34 from like five steps, and also the AI is stuttering or glitching from time to time,
- also on the stamina system, sometimes it's even unclear to me how it works or why does it drop so fast:D, or what is this "ergonomics" attribute in vest upgrades, but maybe I'm just dumb.

These are but a small imperfections that are not really dealbreaking, it's just that they could still use some work, that's all. I kind of miss some simple custom quests like hunting for moneyz, or features like a manual magazine feeding, but that's only a matter of preference I guess. Overall a great mod, so far I'm enjoying it quite a bit. FOR BACON!
