STALKER LORE Monster Manual - Controllers

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
  • Inhabiting only the darkest and deepest parts of the zone, Controllers are a special hazard. Rather than attacking unsuspecting STALKERS like the Bloodsucker, or utilizing telekinetic abilities to hurl objects like a poltergeist, Controllers attack the human psyche itself. Using their advanced brain power, these mutants are able to manipulate the thoughts and sensory data of their victims.

    im imagining this series as a briefing for ecologist forces when they enter the zone. it would be amazing if that was actually the case.

      Thats basically what the monster manual is. Not just ecologists, but basically an expanded PDA entry for STALKERS just going into the zone.

      They were absolutely terrible when I first encountered them. I really hated in SOC how they wouldn't hit you if you were standing 2 foot from them. In CoP I enjoyed them much more. The controller and Burer are probably some of my personal favorite weirdos wondering around in the zone now.

    In one of the fanfic books called "Каратели" ("Punishers"), there is a sentient controller with a split personality, who guards one of the entrances to the Zone. He will only let you pass if you bring him a gift for each personality - preferrably something to read for one and sardines for another.

      Bum rushing controllers doesn't work as well in modded anomaly, tho.
      For example in gamma, if you get too close to Controller, the psy field is too much to handle and your character progressively aims the weapon higher and higher until he unalives himself if you don't run away ASAP.

    They should make a controller the leader of the Sin faction, if there will be such faction in STALKER 2. They just fit so well: the victims of horrifying experiments involving anomalous noosphere phenomena, highly intelligent and aggressive. Controllers are able to manipulate stalkers into doing whatever, so why not make a faction with them and the mutated cultists?

    • @GalTheJebac
      @GalTheJebac 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It wouldn't go with the original lore of what was known of Sin, though, they were not the cultists and hyper aggressive fanatics like they are in anomaly. Very little is know about them (correct me if I'm wrong) besides the fact that they are weird strange stalkers that prefer to keep to themselves and gather knowledge about the zone. Like some chaotic neutral clear sky, perhaps?
