16:41 - he had really held that one in and when he thought noone would hear it, you walk into his office. No bathroom breaks for doctors sadly.
The decals under the chair were a tad incriminating. XD
33:25 classic boar moment always just coming out of left field through an anomaly and fucking you up.
Scarpped my storyline playthrough. Played all weekend. Took a hostage rescue mission in garbage. Then the quest giver died. When I eventually made it to garbage the hostage was still there and when I rescued him there was no quest marker for where to return him to.
So I just pretended to have found him wounded badly. He said he remembers getting into to the zone with his colleagues and going on a quest with some mercenary escorts when they were attack by the military. There was a sharp explosion and then he said everything went black. I found him face down in the tall grass. He couldnt remember what happened, where he was going, or who he was with. He didnt even know what day it was. So I helped him back to health. The Butcher prepared a special mutant stew that he said would heal him.
Filya and I were inseperable after that. A week later we were moving through garbage when we were sandwhiched between bandits and military soldiers. It was a hard fight, and Filya had taken a round to the chest. It didnt look good. With no medical help or supplies I was forced to carry him. When we arrived at the medical tent in Rostok, he was dead.
After checking his backpack he had a mutant activity report that had been signed and completed the month before. I knew there was only one man who would be able to put Filya's work to good use. Sakhova. The doctor in Yantar.
You will be remembered Filya, for you were a good stalker.
I still carry your patches.
Daaaamn, that is brilliant RP my friend! This is precisely the heart of the Loner to Legend experience - to forge a story. Well done!
Tipp: 33:11 when an artifact is visible but not reachable, you can shoot it out of the anomaly with your pistol. No worries they are bulletproof.
I use this tip occasionally, the only drawback is that it can chew through a lot of ammo (I had a rough time retrieving an artifact from a burner cluster in Garbage in one of the eps). I tend to grenade them a few times and if they’re still not retrievable then I move on.
I didn't know this!?!?! damn i have skipped on so many artifacts i could have gotten.
Just need to get the angle right. Some gravity anomalies have a nasty habit of shooting them into outer space if they’re triggered.
The swamp is always a sketchy place. With reduced sightlines and tons of concealment it gets spooky real fast.
The sightlines/tall grass are the biggest issue. Every step feels dangerous when you can’t see what’s stalking you.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie Did you know that the mutants in the swamp are scared of water? That helped me immensely a number of times...
(Probably because in Stalker:CS when the map first appeared, the water was deadly radioactive so no one bothered mapping it for AI pathfinding.)
Yeah I did notice that mutants would avoid water and I would occasionally get my feet wet if I felt like I was being stalked. Still kinda freaky with the banks shrouded by reeds and you can’t see what’s out there.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets the kalancha farting bug. Gets me every time lol
Scares the crap outta you when you’ve forgotten about it :o
@16:40 HE FARTED!
That coulda been me. That noise scares the shit outta me every time 😳
196:42 That's what you get from eating that zone beans!
Amazing how quiet the boars are. I've stopped counting how many times they've appeared out of nowhere and stampeded me to death.
Haha, you need eyes in the back of your head!
To be fair I stuffed that up, I should have cleared the area first. Got a bit greedy 😋
All ninjas aspire to be like these 2 ninja boars that appears in 33:31 😂
57:45 you missed a ballpeen hammer
Spoiler - I’ll miss a lot of stuff 😝
36:40 Loot: from what I've heard and tried so far, the loot of boxes and crates is assigned upon entering a level. If you save and reload within the same map, loot stays the same.
That’s interesting. How does that work if you continually leave and re-enter an area? Could it theoretically force spawns through pure rng persistence?
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie Since the boxes stay destroyed when you leave you could save right before entering a map, enter, smash, be unsatisfied with loot, reload, reenter, resmash the same boxes hoping for something better.... Considering the loading times and the lack of big piles of boxes near map entrances it's a lot of work to get some field cutlery and a shovel. I haven't tested stashes that way though. Hmmm... ;-)
What about other loot, like the stuff lying around in the environment or in stashes?
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie well ... looks like it's time for another playthrough. ^^ barely got to episode 13. Happy Holydays =)
Merry Christmas, and…
☢️ Good hunting, Stalker. ☢️
Bad timing with those boars. The game loved throwing mutants at me if I looted too carelessly so now I remain low and scan the area as I loot in the open now.
Oh yeah, it’s so easy to get engrossed in chasing something down and be completely oblivious to danger. I should have secured the area first, my bad.
@~1:48 that's because of the dead dark dog, some muties tend to cause that effect.
I’ve noticed that some packs have leaders. Apparently killing the leader causes the rest to flee.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie That too, but the "leaders" tend to have the screen effect; or substantially rare/dangerous muties like psudogiants.
Handy to know, cheers 👍
Man this game is scary, i started playing it few days ago, the first time i went to the great swamp few hours ago, there was a blood sucker in full day light, and ofc i didn't know what it was or the fuzzy screen effect was so i got jump scared by the blood sucker, luckily it died as i sprayed it down but it did manage to hit me and knock my gun off my hands. I had to eat something to cope with that jump scare 😖
Anomaly gives zero shits, it drops you in at the deep end and doesn’t even look back to see if you’re swimming 😂
Nice work surviving the attack 👍
Hmm, anomolies in bases, Freedom base seems to come to mind, a nightmare going around that place. Work also needs doing on the spawn of some of the animals in the game, I've had them appear out of the ground in front of me, even been attacked by critters underground and today 2 boars and a cat running right next to each other, no way to survive them. My all time favourite was coming out of camp and running into 3 cats, survived them with another 2 cats and a boar charging from the opposite direction and still survived. Still don't have a clue how I got away with that one.
That's a rough series of spawns, nice job making it out alive 👍
It does feel like a rebalance is needed, but I'd be happier with more reliable weapons. A boar shouldn't be able to eat buckshot at point blank and still be kicking.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie Had times I've hit them 4 times with shotgun before they die, Had an issue yesterday where 3 of them charged at once, gives you little chance except try and keep out of the way of them while you shoot, near impossible.
A wall of boars isn’t fun. I had 3 charge me in the pre-season warm-up for season 2. I actually did okay until one of them decided to clip-hit me while I was standing above it on a concrete slab.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie Yep, 3 of them is virtually instant death if you don't spot them early.
I hate to say it, but what you were saying about the grass and reeds making it hard for NPCs to see you just isn't true. Foliage does not block LOS for mobs or NPCs; anything that isn't solid geometry like a tree trunk is invisible/transparent to them. You might not be able to see a pixel of them, but as far as they're concerned, the swamps are wide open plains.
This is why I don't turn the grass up, and why I don't install more foliage mods to make it look more like IRL Pripyat--it just turns the entire game into the cheap, unfair bullshit that is the Swamps.
That isn’t technically true. There’s an RNG roll for NPCs when looking through foliage. The threshold is low enough that bullshit can happen, but it is possible to remain unseen. I once rounded a patch of reeds and bumped into a very surprised Bandit patrol.
The wrinkle is once they spot you. They then have ‘perfect vision’ and will shoot you through foliage regardless of whether they can see you or not.
👍. Series looks good. What mod do u use for the scroll wheel for the npc’s that follow u please?
Cheers 👍
No mods in this run, everything you see is a feature in vanilla Anomaly.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie ok. Cheers. Need to go back and look at key bindings then.
What mods would u recommend for a graphical update, ui update or weapons update please?
Any advice I give comes with a huge caveat - finish base Anomaly first before playing with mods. It *really* depends on the experience you’re looking for. Unlike a lot of mods for other games, a single mod for Anomaly can drastically alter how the game plays. Here’s some I’m liking though:
Modern UI: you can choose from a bunch of UI variations for a sleeker inventory and character loadout.
JSRS: overhauls distant sounds/gunshots.
Enhanced tonemap: changes the colour and brightness of light during different times of the day.
Enhanced shaders and color grading: another nice graphical change to give your image the vibrancy and colour you’re looking for.
BaS: extra guns in the Zone. I prefer to play without, but others love the extra weapon options.
Grok’s ballistics overhaul: not for the faint of heart. Completely reworks ammo penetration for armour so that it works properly. Drastically changes how combat plays out.
Hope these help 👍
Where are you from Blondfire? I really like your accent, I'd listen to you read the phone book if I didn't already have 100+ episodes of content to listen to☺️
I’m an Aussie. My accent tends to jump around depending on my mood though 😆
Cheers for the kind words 👍
Clear sky base mechanic not visited 🙄
Knowing then what I know now, I would have cleaned those vendors out 😝
