"Stalker definitely isn't an RPG game."

Yeah, I've known that but since its kind of an open world game I'd would like to at least have the option of finishing the game differently than the last playthrough.

"i have no idea how you got into stalker if essential npcs turn you off that much" Even vanilla stalker didn't have much essential npcs other than sidorovich, sakharov and those in the 100 rads bar also I love the gunplay and am a fan of hardcore shooters. i decided to play vanilla stalker and got to know what each factions ideals was and go from there and by the time i got to know them i was already about to end the game so i just said screw it and either killed all i can or finish the game, I haven't played much mods but there was one mod i found which lets me kill indiscriminately and that was Autumn Aurora, and really the only essential npc was sidorovich and sakharov and i was fine with that if there was only about one or two if thats all i needed to finish the game. I guess I expected too much from some of the mods after a long time of playing fallout new vegas and replaying it with over 140 mods installed to improve the subpar gunplay.

"What are you killing them for?" because I absolutely despise certain faction and rather shoot them on sight.

"they are essential to the game"

Essential NPCs have no place in RPGs (I guess stalker isnt really an rpg), they completely ruin any kind of immersion the game is trying to give. I can deal with one or two but i guess i can redo the playthrough, but if i cant just kill the major under the railway bridge without any grenades then its no hope for me because i rather just kill them then go through the boring anomaly tunnel.

I'm having trouble with certain npcs especially the quest givers, they seem to be invincible no matter how many magazines i dump into them and it really bothers me when i just want to kill anything i see. The first npc being nimble and the second being major kuznetsov under the railway bridge didnt bother me as much until i got to agroprom and there was an "essential" npc when I tried to steal the military documents and i use parenthesis because the only way i was able to kill him was with grenades which is how i killed Kuznetsov and now i get to the dark valley and the duty soldiers you first meet have the same problem and its really frustrating sacrificing grenades when a bullet should suffice.

Question (probably a dumb one): Can I install these addons if i have arsenal overhaul which comes with SRP and after i patched it to be v 1.1.2?
