    A note about duty you missed. You spoke of them wanting only to destroy the zone, but that’s not everything. ‘Dangerous anomalies, deadly mutants, anarchists and bandits, none will stop duty on its triumphant March towards saving the planet’. Their goal overall is to just minimise loss of human life, the zone is a threat to all of humanity in their eyes so it’s priority one, but they also do their best to protect loners from bandits and mutants. They’re the closest thing to a police force in the zone.

      I accidentally joined duty on my first playthrough and they ended up becoming my favorite faction 😂 I was just accepting any and all quests I could find and found them, only after fragging about 90% of the freedom base and finally pushing further in did I realize I had just helped duty take out freedom 😂 once i pushed farther in and could finally properly see their uniforms I was like "well I guess I just joined duty"

    Having Strider being a Noon leader in Stalker 2 is such a nice touch, especially since I remember meeting his group in CoP while they still were lost wandering around the zone not knowing what to do. There are many more references to past games and many characters still alive and in game during the events of Stalker 2. Good shit

    Mercenaries can be reasoned with, certain ones anyway, especially when you're not interfering with their job. Some notable examples would be Leshy in Clear Sky, but also Hatchet in Call of Pripyat. If you bring them some food Hatchet and his squad will be friendlier to you, and when the security team protecting the scientists bunker disappears, you can arrange for Hatchet and his squad to take over. It helps get Hatchet's squad a stable source of income with relative, but not absolute, quiet.

    • @jjtninja

      I personally always liked the mercs. I never understood the dev's decision to make them predominantly hostile to most Stalkers on sight when in reality they should act like: "Don't get in the way of my contract and don't attack, then we're good."

  • @JR-994

    I'd assume the Monolith "towers" are just tributes they built, notice they say "Oh Monolith we can't hear you" while praying to it. The C-Con is gone so they no longer hear the Monolith, their building the towers or Shrines is a better word, in order to try and re-establish contact with the Monolith.

  • @lordmegusta9708
    @lordmegusta9708 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    Neat video, first video I saw from your channel and I must say its a neat & easy to understand your faction debrief/rundown. Here are some notes to each faction:
    Miliatry & Ecologist have these sub-faction people called either Eco-stalkers or Military stalkers that are more affiliated with them. Its quite unsure if they are provided Legal enterance (probably after some service & being a good asset). They are however in the ecologist/military faction but still do their job more closer to basic Loner duties. For eco-stalkers, it would be taking data or field research and you can find such a group at Yanov near the bunker, that will later get ambushed by a controller. For the Military stalkers, you can imagine the main protagonist from CoP Maj. D. , but he isnt as HOSTILE as any other military stalker is, due to them being now in the UA military and serving the cause which other stalkers dont see that welcoming. They either go undercover, if they wanna go to famous places like 100 Rad's bar or they grab their military provided Skat9 suit and rock the ZONE with it, providing scouting on safe paths and such stuff (sometimes snatching an artifact to sell it to provide funds for the local base commander if tasked to do so)
    Mercs are quite the odd bunch as they should be (to my knowledge) all easter european UA/RU/Belorus etc. speaking and professionals in the killing business. Their counterpart from west should have been the UNISG/ISG or UN/NATO forces, which were basically fully western and hate by all due to them being outsiders unwanted in the local area doing who knows what.
    note:
    ISG => international scientific group => western researchers
    UNISG => stalker anomaly faction of UN mercs that reorganized the group into a western secretive merc faction interested in documents (basically western mercs with no researchers anymore)
    NATO => like UA military but from the West, here to do the same as UNISG but they are NOT mercenaries, just professional soldiers
    - in the end, UNISG is just the best well known acronym for any western faction, due to the ISG armor existing in the ClearSky (game) files
    Freedom, Loners and Bandits share a common thing, they came to the ZONE to make money (Mercs too but they are not a point of my yappin here :D)
    While Loners are more honest and noble with their goals, mostly trying to get money as a poor lonley man to find an artifact that will get him a large sum of money to cure his daughter/son back on the mainland, bandits are there to take the money from people like him. They have done this before and they are in the ZONE because they either got sent here by their contacts or they fuc*ked up on the mainland and need a SECOND CHANCE on life as a thug.
    Now to my point => Freedom values the ZONE as a 2nd chance a LIFE in a lawfulles ZONE with no police and no rules, just pure anarchy.
    That portraied in the Clear Sky, these first Freedom members were just your basic Loners who did something wrong and had to bail, but still had their redemption in them, knowing they did nothing wrong and wanted just a 2nd chance at living and being in some group that would take them in, rather being a loner and getting robbed 24/7 xd
    In SoCh the group is more shady and seems filled with people of probably the same criminal past like the bandits, just dont openly talk about it (you can find & talk to the Freedom cannibal at their base....or well he talks to you haha). This boosts the faction combat power at the cost of making them look more anarchistic/partisan like & that just brings a bad name to the faction , making it almost look like Freedom is some neutral bandit faction.
    Duty & Military dont go hand in hand but its well known that high ranking Duty members have connections to some officers on the Mainland and get shipping of military grade gear for them, as you can find the downed chopper in SoCh "Red Forest" aka Radar (later renamed)
    Bandits are depicted amazingly, just if you wish to talk to borov, I think your best bet is either mod SoCh or play trough some old mod like Lost Alpha (I DO NOT RECOMMEND => its a walking simulator lmao) and you be able to get a different view on the entire SoCh game from some pre-launch game build experience.
    Renegades are just depicted weird imo, as if they are deserters, why they should wear the same armor/coats like the bandits? I understand that the game has this easy armor/color scheme for you to know your friend & foe, however for the renegades it seems kinda sad. I think it would make sense to see them wearing Duty, Freedom, Merc, Ecologist and other outfits (like zombified stalkers), more teardown as they lack any supplies (unlike the bandits who got their group Bosses to order stuff for them) and just chill in the swamps. Sad there isnt any mod about this. Imagine you are known to be the most scumbag faction and you dont fight that/try to exploit it by hiding your identity, you just wear some shitty black tracksuit and hide in swamps xD
    There is a HUGE debate on what is a Loner/Free stalker etc. In my opinion, if you come to the zone, you are NOT a Loner, as this implies you joined the ranks of the group called Loners (such in Clear Sky), you are a Free stalker (as is anyone called in the ZONE) and merely a tourist that is just factionless. You need to earn this right to join the faction. My point being that bandits have easier job picking on these lonley factionless rookies in the zone than on Loners, as Loners are a faction and therefore would go into some sort of faction X faction conflict between them, such is portraied in the Clear Sky games and at the garbage location in SoCh.
    Clear Sky faction is neat and to be TLDR: Its basically ductaping ecologist and duty factions together.
    They just wish to destroy the zone but actually use a brain before making any push to the center, while being underpowered they can still take on foes like monolith. The commanders of CS are also wanted by the UA military and therefore welcome the help from Loner recruits (that they trust ofc).
    Also its speculated that the Contractor in CoP plot is actually some Clear Sky commander like Lebedev, Suslov or Beanpolev, who survived and are now (like in the Clear Sky plot) using mercenaries to obtain said X lab documents to probably fight the C-Con their old way.
    Monolith were a faction before that was very friendly but still fanatical in belief the ZONE was created by aliens (something like the Hubologists from fallout lmap). They then marched into the center of the ZONE and when they either found the wishgranter OR crossed the brain scorcher, they got brainwashed at that time and turned into the hostile and well armed monolith members we know today, duing their biding for C-Con as their new masters disguised as the alien crystal called monolith.
    Just a sidenote, in SoCh you can see different variants of monolith fighters that look like zombified stalkers => its said that the brainscorchers has more settings to what to do with your brain . Some of them are: fry it and kill you, turn you into a zombie, brain wash you...but I speculate these SoCh zombie monolithans are something of a between product of this setting or well just more OVERCOOKED monolith members :D
    About the SIN faction, I think that they have a great concept and its a shame they are not in the plot. In mod games like Lost Alpha they are portraied very well (by storytelling and not gameplay wise, fu*k that walking simulator mod lmao) but in games like stalker anomaly they are SOMEHOW neutral with monolith? Which makes 0 sense as their creators were the C-Con and I bet they would want ANYONE from the SIN faction just dead, as they believe the ZONE is some sort of a GOD and you are in the garden of EDEN. Taking artifacts is like taking the apples from the forbidden tree and you are hurting the GODs (ZONA) creation. Funnily enough, it is true as the ZONE is alive and they are more of some takecares for her, like we got white bloodcells in our body, which is kinda wild and makes the faction even more valid to the story.
    I would like to appologise for my SPAM but I just wanted to open my mind and knowledge to you all. I am happy for any discussion on the topics & facts I posted, if you deem them false OR just straigh up bull*hit. Most of the stuff I know is by my self OR from Anomalous Dugout, which makes really great videos on the stalker games lore in depth.
    Anyway, have a good luck hunting stalkers :)

    I know there's a glitch (for sure on the PS4 version) in SoC that let's you join the Freedom faction. It's pretty much game-breaking since it makes the Bandits neutral and Duty and the Ecologists hostile.
    Unfortunately, most bandits just have a single line of generic dialogue and Borov himself just doesn’t react to you.

      From what I have heard, it's ok, but it's definitely more grindy than regular stalker because it is also F2P and an MMO.
      Also more forgiving because of course in an MMO you can't strip the player of all their items.
      Someone said it felt like the Anomaly level of progression but without the bloat of repairing stuff carefully, I'm not sure if that's true but I do remember someone mentioning hours long firefights, idk how that works between players with limited ammo.

    Back when I played Shadow of Chernobyl on release in 2007 as a kid about to start high-school, I thought Freedom were the coolest. Almost 20 years in, I get what Duty are about, but I still remain a loner. Good strategy, as you can use some useful exploits - get Freedom to engage the hardcore Duty soldiers at the army warehouses and boom you've got a g36 which is adequate af to the very end of Shadow of Chernobyl.

    On the question of lebedev and keeping his knowledge secret, I feel like we can somewhat explain it by context, the other factions are willing to send people into the laboratories many dying in the process for the knowledge they contain, if it was common knowledge there's a guy who had all the answers there's a pretty high chance they'd try to get him instead and some factions wouldn't probably shy away from torture if necessary.
    Also, factions that kinda oppose the clear sky movement in their ideology would probably act much harsher and prudently if they perceived clear sky as actually having a shot at completing their goals, and with that kinda knowledge you really have to at least consider it.

    Well, the renegades had strong ambitions in the swamps but they fell off quickly due to no real leadership. Although they had influence in the red forest aswell, even sporting fenced mercenary suites, they never got to do anything. According to the games, the renegades were the worst of the worst, people who were desperate, have commited terrible crimes no bandit would imagine, to be a renegade in the time of Clear Sky's events is not good, very not good but I hope that they get more light shed upon them.

    maybe move the mic closer to your mouth or turn it up a bit. I have my system sound on 100 and the youtube video at 100 and I can barely hear you. Not an issue I have watching other videos so as far as I can see its your video

      Howdy thanks for watching! I’ve gotten that response from a couple of viewers. What sound system are you using? I just watched a short bit on my iPhone at half volume and could hear it, but that’s on my end.
      I believe the discrepancy is due to the different software I used between video and non video. I do test on Sony studio headphones, Sonos surround and my iPhone, and understand that a small portion of others have described the same thing as you.
      Thanks for taking the time, Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

      I think I’ve figured out a big portion of the audio mishap and have it implemented it for the new videos, so I’m hoping that makes a change. You’ll have to let me know : ) if able!

    Долг ... Doesn't mean duty it MEANS debt my man ... Ijs

      @pelmeshka_1_year_ago หลายเดือนก่อน

      Слово "Долг" имеет несколько смыслов:
      1. "долг" ( depth ) - когда ты задолжал чё-то, и тебе нужно платить назад.
      2. "долг" ( duty ) - когда у тебя есть *ДОЛГ* что-то сделать ( как например уничтожить зону и всех мутантов )
      Пример: "-мой долг это хорошо закончить коледж."

      They are figments of deleted files and cool ideas unfortunately. They only appear in gamma. I personally would love for SIN to be real; an even crazier monolith.

    "I wonder what duty would look like in Stalker 2 and whether the player will have any chance at reclaiming their former glory"
    Little could he know that Stalker 2 would gut all the factions, duty the hardest, in service for a sadly poorly written fan fiction of a story.
