Also yes get me the hell out of here! Bloodsuckers everywhere AND OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT 2 LEGGED THING!
Anyone who says this game is less atmospheric is full of lies!
I never asked for this!
You were right
Now I have a new question: what is the use for artifacts when they're all radioactive and slowly add to your contamination thingie before you die? Is there some way to purify them or whatever or should I just sell them or something
Bear in mind my armor is super lame and is either the Sunrise suit or the second set you get from Clear Sky

There is a series of artifacts that removes radiation. Wretched/Bubble/whatever else. It's probably the first artifact you use and as you get more slots you can add other artifacts without any negative penalty as long as you balance them properly.

So if you run back and forth between zones it could be ages before you see a blowout.

You probably got a message indicating that they had completed one of their main objectives which is to obtain a foothold in the garbage.

I feel like, uh, hating every faction for this second play through. I want to fuck shit up, yo.

Also, how do you mount the scope to the Ak-74, maybe I'm dumb, but I couldn't make it happen.
It has to be an AK-type scope, though.

Because everyone hates the bandits, and I want to be hated :P
I am in love with this game. I had no idea it was this good, I honestly thought it was a F.E.A.R. clone with weapons that had stats. It's a First Person RPG in the vein of an MMORPG. Central "base" points, quest logs, fetch quests, the whole 9. BUT WITH GUNS!!!!!!!!. This is what I thought Fallout 3 would be like, but I get to play this now.
I am not too far, just got to the bar, but I am def. loving this game!
I mean, you can get better guns in STALKER and that helps things like accuracy, but you never level up, at the end of the day your skill will be the deciding factor.
I would actually liken this to Oblivion as well, it's not AS Rpg'ish with stats and such, but I just mean the wide open areas. Quests from people you meet a long the way. Rewards for exploring (caches and the like). Do what u want, go where u feel like.
In my head, I thought this was more a linear story driven FPS with scary monsters that takes place in a photo-realistic Chernobyl. The sheer vastness of the world is awesome with the real feeling of, I can go and do whatever I please. Lots of fun.
Just read the OP. Awesome information in there, I will have to check out some of the tweak mods. There def. seems to be a bit of un-polish to the game, that I look forward to fixing.
I did find a hunting rifle though so that more than made up for everything.
I haven't even gotten to the bar yet, just about to do the mission where you steal the docs from the lab or something, keep getting sidetracked.
My thought processes up until now:
taking on bandits at bus depot with a pistol - this game is too hard
taking on 6 soldiers guarding the railway bridge with pistol/grenades - this game isn't that hard
getting the hunting rifle - this game is actually pretty easy
killing 3 soldiers on the road near the noob town causing the rest of the soldiers to abandon the nearby military outpost and raid the noobie town killing nimble and the guy who I wasted a medikit on, thus pissing me off and wanting revenge causing me to destroy them all with my hunting rifle - this game is fucking awesome!
Pretty sure I'll change my mind about the easiness once I go underground though, close quarters and a slow reload may make the hunting rifle the wrong choice, especially if something is eating my face. Maybe I'll just pussy out, stay above ground and continue killing bandits, night time scares me enough without combining darkness and close quarters while fighting unknown entities.
I will loot you all.
Unless you have a pimped out shotgun that is. 8-)

Moar likely you'll be wearing a crap suit and be armed with a sawed-off and you'll die really fast.

Turn in your rifle and diet sausage, you have got bar duty from here on out.

If you can't live for the now, at least live for the future.
Then you're not a real bandit.
EDIT: Hah, so beat'd.
Yes he is. As am I.
Seva suited Vintar BC bandits.
This is our zone.
Dunno what you're talking about...
All the bandits sound pretty hardcore to me. In fact having met all the characters in freedom, duty clearsky, lone stalkers etc, the bandits are probably the coolest. Seriously just visit their base.
The consistently drunk mechanic and his perpetually hung-over buddy Senca are the best.

Are you talking about the TOZ shotgun from Oblivion Lost? Cause that thing was an overpowered BEAST judging from when I used it.
I head over to Dark Valley and ally myself with the freedom clan since I already had really good faction with them and had done all their quests. Since I've already cleared everything in Dark Valley, they push immediately into Garbage and things appear to be going good. My first directive is to attack the loner camps that border Duty territory. Well, I wasn't too happy about this so I decided to kill the bandits instead. After clearing all the bandits and realizing freedom really didn't give a shit about their bases, I took out one of the loner camps and let freedom cap it.
Now here is where things get really freaking strange. After my freedom group takes the border, a completely different loner group decides to cap the depot! What the fuck?! I'd cleared that thing a million times, now all of a sudden they are motivated to cap it. Well, I wasn't too pissed about this because I figured I'd probably remain neutral to them and could benefit from wiping both bandits and duty off the map.
So the first duty patrol pushes into Garbage and attacks my freedom group. They only make it a couple steps since I'm putting rounds in their heads as they step out of the tree line. Despite this, when I turn around every one of my duty soldiers is mysteriously dead - wtf? The point is up for grabs, so despite being completely retarded, I figured freedom would send another patrol and cap it back. I stay here for around 30 minutes, killing about 6 waves of duty groups before I decide I might as well push into their territory and give more room for my freedom guys to take over.
Upon clearing duties first base, I realize something. Freedom doesn't plan to make any sort of showing, Every freedom patrol on my map is frozen in place and I haven't recieved a single updated radio broadcast. In place of my freedom backup, instead I get loner patrols consisting of a single soldier, who spawns in front of me and runs back towards Garbage with the goal of capping the already capped depot.
So as if things aren't retarded enough, I decide I'll keep killing duty chumps, not like I've got much else to do besides reload several hours worth of work. As if it weren't bad enough, now every time I kill a duty patrol, duty themselves send me radio broadcasts about how we kicked their asses. WTF? And on top of that, I'm not getting attacked by 4 separate duty patrols at a time but they all only consist of a single soldier. I can't push forward because they come from different directions.
I guess I'm trying to figure out if I can just run past all their patrols and take out their main base for a cheesy win to this ungodly awful battle.
I find Fang's PDA and then all my shit gets taken (because boy those parts in games where all your shit gets taken away and you have to get it back are so much fun) and then that long winded bastard from Clear Sky starts talking and when he's finished the game crashes
I get the feeling it's going to do that every time I do that part too
Rrraaaaaaaagh
