Dude hikes all day, jogging and sprinting everywhere while carrying a huge load of loot, risking his life all the time. *Why am I thirsty all the time?*
First time playing stalker anomaly, the zone has its hook in my addiction nerve. Got like 300k rubles worth of gear on me, all sorts of cool gadgets and such, courtesy of the southern military outpost assaulting Rookie village and somehow losing... Explored like 5 areas so far, not a single toolkit for technicians still :/
I love how the npcs also have to consume food and water, do weapon upgraded and the like. That Stalker you were talking to by the fire at the Farm was drinking an energy drink when you walked up, and it showed in his inventory for a couple seconds and then disappeared while you were talking to him as he finished. I find this fascinating. Like on DayZ, the wolves and bears hunt animals as well as players. I saw 6 wolves chasing a terrified pig one day, just watched through my scope while they slaughtered it and began to feed. Life goes on, even when its simulated and no one is online. *Edited to say I love, not I live, at the start.
The NPC feeding system is interesting. When the action triggers, it spawns in the relevant food for the NPC to immediately consume. It’s too quick to abuse, but still kinda cool. It’s also worth mentioning that the NPC’s ‘full’ inventory is hidden from the player (there are mods which unlock this). I recall there being more mutant infighting in the original games. It happens occasionally in Anomaly, but not nearly as often. Gothic is still one of the more impressive titles I saw doing this natural predator/prey system unscripted.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie Oh wow, Gothic. There's a title i hadnt thought about in ages! That was one of the first if not the first game i played with independent attacks not just an attack spam button.
I know im.a bit late to the party, but after I learned the NPC's light fires, I try to make sure the fires are out when I leave a compound. That way if I have to pass by again and the lights are on its a dead give away somebody moved in after I left. Love this challenege and your gameplay style. Im learning a lot and I'm going to use a few of your rules for my own play through. Keep up the great work.
Thanks mate. Yeah I learned quickly that fires are a giveaway so I generally put them out. Except for this challenge where every match spared is coin in the pocket XD
If the military are on the bridge there will be one of them in the camp on the hill opposite the farm, if you approach from the left of the camp you can get behind him and blast his head off. Just be aware that one of the guys from the bridge may come to investigate so grab his stash and run for it.
So glad I found this series, due to watch it all through. Love the serious tone of the videos with challenge but little sprinkles of humour and some fantastic explanations of your actions and decision making. Absolute gem of a series
Lmao! When you said: "Am I thirsty again?" I said out loud: "You thirsty boi" and then literally a second later you said: "You thirsty, thirsty boi". Seems infantile but made me chuckle a bit :D That earned you a sub xD
So glad companions are immune to anomalies, After seeing mutants mindlessly walk into them I got really concerned at the burner tunnel in Wild Territory when I was escorting some people.
Maybe it was this video, or the last, but you mentioned being able to merge items together, had no idea you could do that! Dropped everything to load up the game and do some inventory management, ya gained me about 3kg!
Just noticed that even though companions and other stalkers are immune to anomalies they aren’t immune to emissions or world events. I noticed when I was trapped in Darkscape (yes it was for a task) and my two companions stayed on the bridge instead of heading under it with me which led to their untimely demise
Ik I’m super super late, but if anyone sees this, you don’t have to wait for traders to refresh inventory You can instead do this Stand in front of the trade Quick save Check his inventory And then reload the quicksave Trader inventories refresh everytime you load a save
It's taking me a few days to finish an episode. But I'm liking it so far, really makes me evaluate how good a shotgun is when you have bad or no armor. As at least then, it gives you a chance to put down anyone coming in close.
Shotguns are relevant even late game. Buckshot has immense stopping power, and when you find weapons like the Saiga which have a tighter spread you can even put some range between you and target and the shotty will still be highly effective. Buckshot is also dirt cheap, easily the most economical ammo in the game.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie reminds me of when I was playing call of chernobyl and getting really mad that my most beloved weapon (spas 12) had such a low ammo capacity as it kept getting me killed.
A little late, but apparently the Fort-500 shotgun is a bit funny in that no matter the level of condition, it will *never* jam. I'm honestly not sure if that's intended or not, but I found myself grabbing one off of bodies wherever possible
Do you mind if I ask why you purge radiation so quickly? I turn off the red glare that occurs when I'm irradiated because it's so annoying. I don't usually rid myself of the rads so quickly.
I’ll usually purge if: - there’s enough to cause damage - there’s a chance of being further irradiated - because the effect is annoying - I’m a pedant at getting rid of negative effect symbols 😆
1:10:40 Yarik there says something very much relatable. Sad that his name is hard to make out because of TH-cam making the video's quality go all blurry when the screen moves past foliage and grass.
Video quality improves after this ep from memory. The early videos were recorded using a lower bitrate and inferior TH-cam codec which I had to learn to get around.
I dont know if this matters at this point, but I thought the loot spawn was turned way down in your last video. I've never played this so I could be totally mistaken. I am absolutely going to start playing this now that I've found your channel. It looks awesome
No, it isn’t turned down, it’s set to ‘progressive’ which is based on player level. Mid and high tier items won’t drop until the player has sufficient experience. It’s supposed to simulate a gear power curve but I can see how some might be put off by it. You can change loot drops to ‘full’ meaning that all tiers can drop right out of the gate, regardless of player level. This feels a little more organic but can make the early game trivial if you kill 1 or 2 well geared opponents.
I'm late to the party and not even sure you didn't correct yourself already But... 59:55 when you change your armor from weighing 8kg with +13kg capacity to 16kg with a +16kg one you don't "get a boost" you're just losing 5kg cause the vest itself weighs more (Sorry it was just bothering me :D )
The carry weight doesn’t subtract the armour weight in vanilla. I think I got confused a couple of times by that. Still baffles me that the stat isn’t changed to ‘Net carry weight’ or something; it’s all you really care about when comparing carry weight stats.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie Certainly don't blame you! Love the series so far and thanks for taking the time to make a comprehensive guide. Even if I didn't quite need it myself, it already helped a few friends.
this is nice i just found you and finsished episode 1 gonna binge it all cant wait for 6 though cause man is the graininess/motion blur bad especially as im on an old laptop that is only 720p and the natural grain is aleady bad
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie still beter than now though lol for me the entire vid except a few parts legit look like 360/144p its mostly on my end and the fact that this ones worse then episode 1 still watchable though for the most part
Did you turn on the progression inventory for the enemies ? (Example: when your higher level like intermediate or something shops can have new inventory well if your higher level the enemies can have better loot too) I think that's base game or might just be a later update to anomaly
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie thanks for responding I really like your series I don't see enough TH-camrs use the crafting menu on stalker anomaly and so far the crafting system seems intriguing
2:06 I read on the Anomaly discord that running makes you thirsty quicker so maybe thats why you need to drink more often? You seem to be running a lot.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie Thanks for the tip, the compression artifacting on grass and trees in motion in these first few episodes (nearly the entire screen) was so unwatchable that I was about to bail. I'll skip ahead, cheers.
Hmm, I thought it was every 48 hours. Difficulty may modify it, can’t remember off the top of my head. Waiting for that cycle of gear can be so painful sometimes 😝
boxes get npcs stuck sometimes. in my experience you can only hit somebody with the knife if you're 'aimed' at them... I like everything about this playthrough except that you're using crosshair (no offense)

Man, i've manually set my Playback Quality to the max for this video, but it whenever he is moving or turning, it goes from looking as it should, crisp, clean, 1080p straight down to something like 240 or 360p at best. It's very frustrating. I know Blondie said something about this right at the start of Ep.1, but good lord, this is _significantly_ worse than the first episode was for me. I really _really_ hope he's able to figure out what's causing this horrendous artifacting and compression issues, cause he's by far my favorite Anomaly YT channel, but if i'm really being honest with myself, this is straight up unwatchable. If i wasn't a 100% fresh-out-the-incubator pre-me baby noob to STALKER who jumped straight into Anomaly/GAMMA without playing any of the proper GSC Titles, i really don't think i could watch this. Anyways though, ending on a good note, i am so far really enjoying the series, excited where to see where it goes/how it goes. Cheers.
I was still learning the craft back then and YT compression was a killer. I beat both by around episode 5, everything should be much clearer from that point on.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie Excellent, that's great to hear. But no worries aye? I'm already on Episode 17 or so of S1 - Loner, lookin' forward to finishing and then seeing S2 - Monolith.
The early videos were recorded at a lower bitrate, plus I hadn’t figured out how to beat YT’s highly compressed codecs. The quality improves by ep 4/5.
Bruh, i coud raid the military outpost in coldron near rookie vilige with only a bandit suit of Monolith armor i got from a "kill the stalker" mission with i repaired a and you can't clear out s bandit base with broken guns?
You're comparing raiding a military base with a fully repaired suit of 'nonolith' armour to getting attacked by bandits while using busted guns and virtually no armour while being pressed by an incoming emission???!! I can't even... 😂😂😂

So glad companions are immune to anomalies, After seeing mutants mindlessly walk into them I got really concerned at the burner tunnel in Wild Territory when I was escorting some people.
It’s immersion-breaking at times, but it makes sense. Companions don’t trigger anomalies, but they can still be affected by them.
comrade, you just stepped on psi-mine
*where?*
under foot
*i dont see it*
that because it is still under your foot
*nah, cant see it, not real*
I was met with a squad of military and a heli at the checkpoint, well we didn't meet i just turned back before they see me hehehe

As a veteran Anomaly player, I've been super entertained by this.
"MADLAD STARTING WITH NOTHING?!?! HAHAHA LET'S GOOOO"

Btw the redline leather jacket that you can get from renegades is a good inventory boost
Handy to note. I’ll keep an eye out for it future playthroughs.
Zombies carry healing items...was a little surprised in my game when one had a medkit on them.
They can be a great source of free meds early on. If you master the knife trick, you won't even have to spend ammo! 🤘

God no... 😱
question from beginner: does radiation go down on its own or it never goes out until you die or heal it?
Rads go down slowly over time. You'll notice in later episodes that I usually let a minor dose slide.
If you ever get into the Escape from Pripyat mod, being near a campfire also increases the rate at which you recover from ailments
Yeah, that feature is a literal lifesaver 😅
bodies should despawn with emissions .. y'know, because of their damaging effect on organic matter ..... or something vaguely plausible like that!
I too support this science! 👍
You are entertaining to watch :)

Did you turn on the progression inventory for the enemies ? (Example: when your higher level like intermediate or something shops can have new inventory well if your higher level the enemies can have better loot too) I think that's base game or might just be a later update to anomaly
