this is sort of an encounter that most people'll miss but the devs still put in 4 outcomes for it (that won't effect the story at all only your feelings)
There's a bandit camp where everyone hates the leader because he's extremely unpredictable and kills his own men in a nearby anomaly field, and you learn this by following earlier quests since they reference him repeatedly. One guy on the run stole his custom MP5 and tells you where it is. If you bring it, you can see the leader under the pretense of giving it back to him. If you walk up and just blast him away in his room, someone says "We gotta help the boss!" and another guy says "You can help that asshole, I'm getting the hell out of here!" and most of the camp just scrams. I fucking lol'd
I played that mission yesterday and completely missed it...went to explore a little bit the boundaries of the anomaly to the left and died because 4 boars spawn out of nowhere. Next try I went to the right instead...gg
Not really just lifeless gamers who game all day like mundane tedious things like hunger management. This is a very niche game and a lot of average gamers arnt a fan. However, you chronically online fanboys probably don’t know anything outside of your mental bubble of other grown men degenerates who do nothing but play games all day. You guys are pretty sad.
If you leave or add energy drinks in, not only will you get this voiceline. If you come back to the stash at a later time, there will be a note from a stalker saying your energy drinks saved his life, and to revisit the stash because after he's done looting he'll leave a gift.
I actually can't get over the the fact that they recorded extra lines for someone leaving energy drinks but taking the note. This is probably a good one to add to the requirements for a chaotic good play through.
@@_lostclubI've also taken lots of things, from haunted houses and other locations simply because of the fact that I am honoring it's memory by keeping it close rather than it rotting away from society
Now imagine someone taking a bunch of those drinks in the early game, then return in the late game and put like 30 energy drinks in there. Would be hilarious.

Every time I remember poppies, I remember ww1. Therefore, here is the original poem that solified the connection between a beautiful flower and a unhumane human conflict: In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
F*ck it. I hate how my eyes are watering every time I see this verse. Reminds me of the fallen soldiers of my country, who was an actors, a musicians, a writers and fame developers. And then died in cruel and horrible War, defending us and our nation.
The Answer - In Flanders Field the cannon boom And fitful flashes light the gloom; While up above, like Eagles, fly The fierce destroyers of the sky; With stains the earth wherein you lie Is redder than the poppy bloom In Flanders fields. Sleep on ye brave! The shrieking shell, The quaking trench, the startling yell, The fury of the battle hell Shall wake you not; for all is well. Sleep peacefully, for all is well. Your flaming torch aloft we bear, With burning heart an oath we swear To keep the faith to fight it through To crush the foe, or sleep with you In Flanders Field
Verses like these need to be said aloud and often nowadays to counter the war drums being pounded by people who will never have to actually do the fighting.
Details like this are so easy to miss, but when you do encounter them it just makes you love the game so much more, even I didn't catch this when playing!

Love all the little details in this game, it actually feels like a bunch of regular dudes are just trying to get by in one of the most dangerous places on earth.

Sadly it never works because in this country, everyones so egotistical.

This unironiacially made me wanna buy the game. I don't know anything about this game but if the devs implement something like this I am sure everything else was also created with care and love.
Not even putting some energy drinks in the stash but if you come back later there is another note from someone saying that this drinks saved his life and he puts a railing as gift inside the stash. Damn, I love this game so much! ❤️

One detail I love in this game is that if you decide to take a job that’s a hit on someone and warn the person they pay you and you can still take them out and get double the pay and people will call you things like “the new strenlok (no idea how to spell it) its so gratifying really scratches that anti-social personality itch
I absolutely love little interactions like these. They make the game feel more alive, like my actions track over time. I feel like it's easy to zone out with traditional RPGs nowadays, this makes me curious if there are other hidden interactions
Is it a Wizard of Oz reference? I may not remember much, but for me it feels like the "Sleepy Poppy Fields" came up either in some Ukranian folklore and fairytales or were brought up by my grandmother from Volyn' (poppies are pretty significant in the local harvesting rituals, and poppy seeds are used extensively in sweets.). I may be mistaken, but this may not even have the Wizard of Oz as a reference.
@@Nazar_MelnykI'd say it's 50/50, there was an adaptation (although it wouldn't be far off to just call it plagiarism) of wizard of oz that people from post ussr countries could be familiar with called "wizard of the emerald city" so it's entirely possible that the devs were familiar with the story (both copy and original, since it's not hard to find it on the internet), but it could as well be folkloric
But in the same time those drinks aren't affecting "going asleep" visuals which is the only thing you can consider to know when the sudden death appears. So i had no idea am i good or not. And the only man in location from his words survives only due to being in the house while you can die in any other house in the same location. This little detail is cool but i would prefer big things done well rather than small

It's cool how different playthroughs can be cause I just did this mission yesterday and I didn't find the note cause that area was so annoying lol. I also haven't found the ASVAL but I want it!!
Thanks for sharing this. I loved this quest, but didn't stumble upon this truck with the energy drinks and neither did I notice the stalkers talking about it. I had a load of energy drinks on me so I completely missed this. Very cool detail!
Whats funny is it doesn't make sense you take everything of value. There no reason for anyone to go near it. Once you leave. You take the only artifact. Unless peoppe go looking for the blue poppies but I didn't see any the whole time I was running around
@@crazychase98 That’s not the point, the point is that people will pass through the area no matter what, so the guy wanted to try and potentially save lives.
That's interesting. A game that actually acknowledges that ransacking everything you find would piss someone off. I wish more games did that with far more chests. You being a little loot goblin should piss SOMEBODY off, right? All these chests with really great gear didn't just pop into existence so someone could grab it all.
The fact that they made a Poppy Field anomaly makes me think that it represents the first world war. Kinda a physical representation of the Flanders Fields song
Maybe so. There are other references people seem to be coming up with as well. Like "The wizard of oz", and "Opium fields". Honestly, I'm pretty sure it's a nod to Flanders field too. Either way, it's a neat anomaly.
Thats a cool detail i didnt think they would add. i love how if you steal everything you hear depression in his voice but if you leave the note and take everything else hes just pissed off, seems like that note ment more too him then the drinks did.
There is a mod, I dont have the link right now, I download it 2 days ago and I have 0 bugs, zero performance issues and zero spawning from 50m behind. It was in nexus mods.
I'm sure many players won't notice that the dialogue can change, but those who do will get a smile out of it. I always appreciate when developers make the effort of adding small, optional details to their games, it makes the game world feel a bit more alive.
I am a neurotic looter, I just grab everything not nailed down and sort through it later. I never would have noticed this interaction, but I'm so pleased that it's there.
yo bro is that the ultimate edition items? if so please where did you get them since i preorderd ultimate edition and i cannot find it But please do tell me guys
There's also a mission where stalkers ask you to drop vodka in 3 stashes for their friend who has rad sickness and they ask you not to steal anything. But the stashes have preem loot😅 Huess my first playthough is bad karma
Non Stop! 10/10 Ukrainian military reference! For anyone who doesn't know, that is a real brand of Ukrainian energy drinks, and the military practically runs on it.
I got the game last night and after you get knocked out, and that guy shows up with the bolt, I was distracted and didn't hear where to go, so I thought I had to follow him. He walked into a structure, monologuing to himself, talked about his friend being killed, turned out and saw me and said "why the fuck are you still here? Stop following me!"
i was so broken after those lines. actly, left some and took the note. than sold it. after, heard that line, and immediately bought back that note. gonna put it back, no mater what
Been playing on stalker difficulty and there is no shortage of consumables. Its just flavor, I wouldn't get upset about it. I'm impressed they made the effort to code it three different ways.
so accurate too.. people only charitable as long as others react positively to it, proving that even charity is born out of fairness and not out of charity lmao
Very cool attention to detail. So glad this game is pc and xbox exclusive currently. Microsoft needs a win. And GSC says no plans for ps5 at all. Which is good cause once the performance is fixed, people might have a reason to get an Xbox in some capacity.
praising exclusivity is a really immature take. Microsoft is the third most valuable company in the world, and it isn't the responsibility of developers to release games exclusively for people to buy an Xbox, it's the responsibility of Microsoft to create a product worth buying over a Playstation. Also, why deprive people the opportunity to play the games they want to play?
@@thesomeone96 xbox needs a win. If this can be it, so be it. If xbox backs out of competition fully, sony becomes a monopoly. So yes, xbox needs more exclusives. Especially when sony pays off devs to make games timed exclusive/fully exclusive all the time.
@@FulfillMyWill in a perfect world yeah. But in a business standpoint, sony has been crushing xbox for a while now. Xbox needs a win, and if they keep up patching this game, xbox will have a good, heavy hitting exclusive.
@Ananonymousguy-nk9oj bruv we playstation players dont have retro compatibility with ps3 games on our ps5 unless we get a remastered/remake or we pay extra bucks for the premium tier of ps plus but even in that case the games are very limited While Xbox players have retro compatibility of the 360 games with their series x And lets not even talk about pc players
It certainly could be better. I'm a GAMMA nut and between points of interest there, I have to constantly be alert so I don't get killed by mutants ranging from dogs to boars to even the odd chimera or pseudogiant. In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, I notice that most mutant encounters I have occur at points of interest, and not so much in the areas outside of those. E.g. Dogs at an abandoned substation, maybe a poltergeist in a warehouse, a group of rats at a named wreck on the map, so on. The drawback is that I don't fear for my life traveling between POIs, because 99% of the time, I'm not attacked by mutants unless I choose to go loot some building, outpost, or compound, and most of the time said places would be marked on the map. If I've ever been jumped by a pack of dogs or rammed by a boar in the middle of a field away from anything of interest, I don't recall it. The original games and the mods that used the older X-Ray Engine didn't have this problem.
@zen_7748 iv been attacked by more blood suckers, then I can count the mutant pig things. They seem to spawn around objectives or points of intrist. But have a rather large hunting ground. So they will attack you on paths

Selfishness is contagious because people act according to others. But so it selflessness. If someone else left a note, "Hey, I'm about to take two of these, but if it turns out that I only need one; I'll leave the extra in a visible spot just in case someone else needs it."

@ lmfao sure buddy cope with the fact I played soc on release date when I was in high school 😂 there isnt half of the content they promised but yeah captain tiktok generation fanboy will tell me its the best stalker, smh
This unironiacially made me wanna buy the game. I don't know anything about this game but if the devs implement something like this I am sure everything else was also created with care and love.
I heard the guy when I came back after I took everything. It's crazy that they have dialogue for just taking the note. Love this game.
Not even putting some energy drinks in the stash but if you come back later there is another note from someone saying that this drinks saved his life and he puts a railing as gift inside the stash. Damn, I love this game so much! ❤️
If only the NPCs had believable schedules and didn't just pop into existence everywhere I go
Developers took the ``its the small things that make a video game a masterpiece`` phrase a bit seriously.
little things like this give me the next gen feel
>be me.
>get the mission to find the root cellar.
>hear stories about the poppy field.
>my survival instinct kicks in.
>avoidablerisk.jpg
>pretends the northwest of the lesser zone doesn't exist.
>play guitar by the campfire and consider retiring because flowers doing big man a scare.
Pretty much sum up about the Zone: even the smallest and most harmless looking thing can brings a great fear to the biggest and bravest stalker.
Three things I love in video games:
A brilliant story
Easter eggs and references to other games
Little things like this
One detail I love in this game is that if you decide to take a job that’s a hit on someone and warn the person they pay you and you can still take them out and get double the pay and people will call you things like “the new strenlok (no idea how to spell it) its so gratifying really scratches that anti-social personality itch
The level of attention to detail is crazy
Reminds me of FONV, the creators in their free time asked themselves "what-if player does this" questions giving more reactivity in game
This scene alone is better that the entire Dragon Age Veilguard
If you leave more than 10 energy drinks in there you also get unique dialogue for adding surplus. They thought of it all.
Meanwhile me who did it without any energy drinks
Come on guys stop bullying Buckwheat
I’ve had this song stuck in my head during work, and i start watching this to pass time. IM GOING INSANE
Remember that stash of energy drinks I left behind, guys? The one at the poppy fields, by the milk truck.
Someone loot everything in the zone but I'm just a chill guy with radiation.
I absolutely love little interactions like these. They make the game feel more alive, like my actions track over time. I feel like it's easy to zone out with traditional RPGs nowadays, this makes me curious if there are other hidden interactions
Wizard of Oz reference that's referencing actual opium poppy fields
It didn't even dawn on me that this was a Wizard of Oz reference until now! Awesome!
Opium poppies are actually purple.
Is it a Wizard of Oz reference? I may not remember much, but for me it feels like the "Sleepy Poppy Fields" came up either in some Ukranian folklore and fairytales or were brought up by my grandmother from Volyn' (poppies are pretty significant in the local harvesting rituals, and poppy seeds are used extensively in sweets.). I may be mistaken, but this may not even have the Wizard of Oz as a reference.
I wasn't aware. I thought it was a cool art direction with the motif of "Elysium"
@@Nazar_MelnykI'd say it's 50/50, there was an adaptation (although it wouldn't be far off to just call it plagiarism) of wizard of oz that people from post ussr countries could be familiar with called "wizard of the emerald city" so it's entirely possible that the devs were familiar with the story (both copy and original, since it's not hard to find it on the internet), but it could as well be folkloric
But in the same time those drinks aren't affecting "going asleep" visuals which is the only thing you can consider to know when the sudden death appears. So i had no idea am i good or not. And the only man in location from his words survives only due to being in the house while you can die in any other house in the same location. This little detail is cool but i would prefer big things done well rather than small
Didn't find this, but now it has me second guessing my habit of hoarding notes and PDAs.
In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
It's cool how different playthroughs can be cause I just did this mission yesterday and I didn't find the note cause that area was so annoying lol. I also haven't found the ASVAL but I want it!!
Thanks for sharing this. I loved this quest, but didn't stumble upon this truck with the energy drinks and neither did I notice the stalkers talking about it. I had a load of energy drinks on me so I completely missed this. Very cool detail!
Damn. I stole everything because I’m a brainless, heartless survivalist lmao.
Whats funny is it doesn't make sense you take everything of value. There no reason for anyone to go near it. Once you leave. You take the only artifact. Unless peoppe go looking for the blue poppies but I didn't see any the whole time I was running around
@@crazychase98 I gave the guy the religious artifact for the quest and I got a crazy good weapon for not giving it back to the owner
@@crazychase98 That’s not the point, the point is that people will pass through the area no matter what, so the guy wanted to try and potentially save lives.
I 100% missed this, and didnt realize the guys at the campfire told things dynamic to what you do, that's awesome.
Attention to the detail, dam, I love it
That's interesting. A game that actually acknowledges that ransacking everything you find would piss someone off.
I wish more games did that with far more chests. You being a little loot goblin should piss SOMEBODY off, right? All these chests with really great gear didn't just pop into existence so someone could grab it all.
The fact that they made a Poppy Field anomaly makes me think that it represents the first world war. Kinda a physical representation of the Flanders Fields song
Maybe so. There are other references people seem to be coming up with as well.
Like "The wizard of oz", and "Opium fields".
Honestly, I'm pretty sure it's a nod to Flanders field too. Either way, it's a neat anomaly.
In ukrainian folklore Red Poppies usually portrayed as a gravestone for cossacks who lost their lives in battle.
This is about our heroes and innocent vіс tims of WW2, Soviet Union terrror and w@r in Ukr sinse 2014
I understand the effects of the poppy fields/ opium but I envy of OP already having the vss vintorez in their inventory
The fact the English VA is a British guy as well just adds to it.
As an audio designer, I'm so glad people notice this stuff and it makes me so happy that people appreciate it
what happens if you leave somthing else in the backpack, like ammo or food. not an energy drink
There's actually a line for that, I didn't play the game myself, but some people mention that he did react to those things too.
I love Darkwood just because of this. The npcs react to what you are doing in the world
Stalker in British accents lol....
You can switch it to Ukrainian with subtitles
I have a feeling, this game is going to be one of the game of the year!!!
Thats a cool detail i didnt think they would add. i love how if you steal everything you hear depression in his voice but if you leave the note and take everything else hes just pissed off, seems like that note ment more too him then the drinks did.
>me pouring 20 grams of powderized cocaine into a Red Bull to try and help save the next person who comes by
Nice. Now they only need to add A-Life, cut the damn spawning out of nowhere, and fix the performance issues...
yeh i put it down after a few hours, will wait a while for some patches
its so close. its right there at true greatness. They just need to fix it. and maybe nerf the too high armor of mutants lol.
I don’t have any problems with performance, but agree with A-Life part
There is a mod, I dont have the link right now, I download it 2 days ago and I have 0 bugs, zero performance issues and zero spawning from 50m behind. It was in nexus mods.
So basically make new game 😂 I feel so scammed it’s beyond my comprehension
I'm sure many players won't notice that the dialogue can change, but those who do will get a smile out of it. I always appreciate when developers make the effort of adding small, optional details to their games, it makes the game world feel a bit more alive.
i didnt found the stash while playing
There's several only found them cause I died an looked agin after respawing.
I am a neurotic looter, I just grab everything not nailed down and sort through it later. I never would have noticed this interaction, but I'm so pleased that it's there.
yo bro is that the ultimate edition items? if so please where did you get them since i preorderd ultimate edition and i cannot find it
But please do tell me guys
There's also a mission where stalkers ask you to drop vodka in 3 stashes for their friend who has rad sickness and they ask you not to steal anything.
But the stashes have preem loot😅
Huess my first playthough is bad karma
Oh damn never knew
Wizard Of Oz reference
Man the AAA industry has been missing including quality stuff like this.
They dont give em enough credit
It's not AAA then
This taught me to read the notes about the stashes. Else I’m usually just a robber 😅
OH.... oh no.... I didn't think the developers didn't think that far ahead. The first STALKER games were pretty consequence free.
Non Stop! 10/10 Ukrainian military reference! For anyone who doesn't know, that is a real brand of Ukrainian energy drinks, and the military practically runs on it.
I have not buy the game yet, but I want to know, is there an option to put the dialogue in ukrainian an subtitles in english?
Yes there is
A man of culture right there! :D
P.S. Nice music you got there on your account
@@Yen0T OMG! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it. :)
I got the game last night and after you get knocked out, and that guy shows up with the bolt, I was distracted and didn't hear where to go, so I thought I had to follow him. He walked into a structure, monologuing to himself, talked about his friend being killed, turned out and saw me and said "why the fuck are you still here? Stop following me!"
i was so broken after those lines. actly, left some and took the note. than sold it. after, heard that line, and immediately bought back that note. gonna put it back, no mater what
Been playing on stalker difficulty and there is no shortage of consumables. Its just flavor, I wouldn't get upset about it. I'm impressed they made the effort to code it three different ways.
That's really cool
We need more semi-dynamic interactions within games, as it can change storylines in a good way! Gives you more 'power' over your choices
just remember that one developer of stalker was killed on the war.
Because russion....
Sad... that only one. Needed more.

Very cool attention to detail. So glad this game is pc and xbox exclusive currently. Microsoft needs a win. And GSC says no plans for ps5 at all. Which is good cause once the performance is fixed, people might have a reason to get an Xbox in some capacity.
Exclusives are a bad thing for the consumers. In a perfect world, the games should be released on all platforms, so that everyone could enjoy them.
What is bro yapping about, don't start acting like a Sony fan and applaud exclusivity.
praising exclusivity is a really immature take. Microsoft is the third most valuable company in the world, and it isn't the responsibility of developers to release games exclusively for people to buy an Xbox, it's the responsibility of Microsoft to create a product worth buying over a Playstation. Also, why deprive people the opportunity to play the games they want to play?
@@thesomeone96 xbox needs a win. If this can be it, so be it. If xbox backs out of competition fully, sony becomes a monopoly. So yes, xbox needs more exclusives. Especially when sony pays off devs to make games timed exclusive/fully exclusive all the time.
@@FulfillMyWill in a perfect world yeah. But in a business standpoint, sony has been crushing xbox for a while now. Xbox needs a win, and if they keep up patching this game, xbox will have a good, heavy hitting exclusive.
The whole poppy field making you pass out is a Wizard of Oz reference too.
Unfortunaly this game its not available for ps5 🥺
Yeah, it's a shame, but at least you guys have great games we don't
@Ananonymousguy-nk9oj bruv we playstation players dont have retro compatibility with ps3 games on our ps5 unless we get a remastered/remake or we pay extra bucks for the premium tier of ps plus but even in that case the games are very limited

You’re not missing much. It’s a broken mess.

Ok but I love the wizard of oz reference
And there's people saying this game's world doesn't feel alive?
It certainly could be better. I'm a GAMMA nut and between points of interest there, I have to constantly be alert so I don't get killed by mutants ranging from dogs to boars to even the odd chimera or pseudogiant.
In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, I notice that most mutant encounters I have occur at points of interest, and not so much in the areas outside of those. E.g. Dogs at an abandoned substation, maybe a poltergeist in a warehouse, a group of rats at a named wreck on the map, so on. The drawback is that I don't fear for my life traveling between POIs, because 99% of the time, I'm not attacked by mutants unless I choose to go loot some building, outpost, or compound, and most of the time said places would be marked on the map. If I've ever been jumped by a pack of dogs or rammed by a boar in the middle of a field away from anything of interest, I don't recall it. The original games and the mods that used the older X-Ray Engine didn't have this problem.
@zen_7748 iv been attacked by more blood suckers, then I can count the mutant pig things. They seem to spawn around objectives or points of intrist. But have a rather large hunting ground. So they will attack you on paths
You clearly never played stalker and it shows
the dogs are so annoying also the sewer rats are crazy i was looting some bandages and suddenly 15 sewer rats spawn directly behind me so annoying
Very alive when you turn around and all the bad guys respawn right on you :D
I hope they fix the bugs and glitches because this game is bound to be legendary as its predecessors.
Use the ukrainian voices )))))
Why? To hear pigs?

Selfishness is contagious because people act according to others. But so it selflessness.
If someone else left a note, "Hey, I'm about to take two of these, but if it turns out that I only need one; I'll leave the extra in a visible spot just in case someone else needs it."
