Obey vs Disobey Strelock order to kill Dr. Kaymanov (ALL CHOICES) - STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl

[@maeviu-twich6280]

So the only sane character is Degtyarev after all...

[@AlexTailor1992]

Doog that he alive)

[@nikik5567]

Yep. Good thing he lived, well. Hopefully he lived. Richter is a decent sort of guy as well, if a bit crazy.

[@Proidysweet]

Completing the "Kill Strelok" mission, and him grabbing his PDA, like at the beginning of SoC is just 10/10 badassery!

[@foolgoboom8766]

So instead of the long hair dude in the og 2021 trailer strelok is him (remember this familiar scene)

[@M-GROG]

I think I didn’t delete it but I commented I thought it was strelok he just grew his hair out turns out they decided to not give him his hair transplant😂

[@LONERZ]

@@M-GROG You didn't, your comment is still there lol

[@NwahEnjoyer]

Maybe they wanted us to think it's someone else.

[@AlexTailor1992]

I think they just hide him and show "some dude". Only in game find out its Strelok

[@strix501]

It just "Leon" visiting the zone for a while

[@furiousfelicia5751]

RIP Strider. That was emotional.. That moment you tell him he is dead, and the music kicks in..man I couldn't swallow for half an hour after that.

[@nikik5567]

Yeah I genuinely felt like shit in that moment. He tried so hard to prevent the return of the monolith, to keep his friends free of their mind control. And he was right to be as rigid about it as he was. The only thing he should’ve done differently was Faust. That guy clearly still had some kinda connection to the monolith, he should’ve been dealt with.

[@syndos8900]

I have a feeling the kill strelok ending is the canon ending. He has the heart of Chernobyl, his PDA still reads Kill strelok like in soc and you 'complete' the mission - The zone expands all over the world, setting the stage for future iterations and/or DLC

[@slushy7]

The pda is Dark's

[@Gizz101]

​@@slushy7it's streloks I'm pretty sure, his original one as dark I think had a modern one

[@slushy7]

@Gizz101 he did but this is not it

[@Betux2407]

Everyone complaining about Strelok not being the Strelok from the old game yet nobody cares about the doctor literally being Faust for the whole game. I'm so glad I followed Strelok, he was the only one who didn't betray Skif.

[@ferdinand5223]

He trapped you in the Zone to slowly die just like everyone else. F him.

[@zaris9598]

...but wants to kill you instantly if you don't obey him ;)

[@Gizz101]

He locks him in the zone although not betraying still evil, kaymanov doesn't betray him either, the ward don't entirely it's just his privacy is gone and spark ending is scar not realising he js wrong

[@IslamsBomb]

wait, you mean that Faust is controled by Kaymanov or that Kaymanov just is just as manipulative as Faust?

[@unknown_karma12334]

The strelok ending is seen as the good ending. It is NOT the True/Cannon ending. The cannon ending is Skif killing all three and following Faust's words, leaving th zone to expand and chose her own destiny. The C-Consciousness was destroyed, and with Skif in the pod, Monolith can be finally destroyed once and for all and maybie, jsut maybie, Noontide return. STRIDER was the only true friend Skif had and Richter.

[@briqhtlord]

3:27 i lol'ed there :D it is so funny remembering old days.Devs knows how to do it.

[@syndos8900]

I think this moment indicated that this is in fact the canon ending. It wraps up the previous stalkers and makes the possibilities of future DLC and/or games set not just in the zone but all over the world

[@LONERZ]

Sadly we couldn't see long hair dude, aka Leon from Stalker.

[@SteelRider]

Leon Strelok Kennedy "Watch out Ashley this stalker is getting evil"

[@slushy7]

in case u didnt learn, that was placeholder for strelok

[@LONERZ]

@@slushy7 I already knew that, but thanks anyway :D

[@IGotYourBackBROTHER]

Is it just me, or does this not really feel like Strelok, they made him in to something else to fit the story *look at how they massacred my boy*

[@ChadKingSigma]

The guy from the trailer was Russian, so they cut him nostalgia baited instead.

[@enriquelopez.e1231]

to be fair...Strelok was just a man involved in things he couldn´t comprehend...In CS he was the responsible for the emmisions causing death to people around, in SoC he was amnesia boi who did everything without knowing the consecuences, destroying the C-Con and "freeing the Zone" , and in CoP he was...just tired of everything ....hes not a good guy or a bad one.

[@rosgoncharuk2403]

I'd say he was always selfish and obsessed. People made a hero out of him, which he never was.

[@Dark-zk5tk]

@@rosgoncharuk2403 Its not that he was a hero, he was a legend. The man went to the center of the zone to find secrets. People wanted to be like the man, capable of getting there and coming back.

[@rosgoncharuk2403]

@@Dark-zk5tk living legends is the path to dictatorship.

[@blodlord]

That's not Strelok. His behavior and actions are completely antithetical to what Strelok was in the first game.

[@huihui5059]

Nah this statement is misunderstanding of the original plot from the first three games. Strelok was totally obssessed with uncovering secrets of the Zone and harnessing its power for himself in his true character and it was hinted multiple times in all games. In SoC he doesn't display his fanaticism, because he lost his memory due to C-Con brainwashing after being captured at the end of Clear Sky and then he slowly regains it via cutscenes in X-Labs. After completing X-16 quest-line in SoC there's a cutscene (that also appears as a flashback in HoC) where he visits doctor and says something like 'if you only knew where I have been and what I saw' and then despite Doctors warnings goes back to the CNPP and comes back half-dead, which clearly shows his fanatical devotion to the goal of uncovering zones secret. In Clear Sky after you complete Yantar plotline you chase him at the start of Red Forest and after he blows up tunnel to stop you he says something like 'I will reach the Center at any cost'. So yeah all of this is within character for Strelok, its just Strelok you play as is not really himself due to amnesia.

[@blodlord]

@@huihui5059 It seems you didn't play CoP. Strelok was obsessed with uncovering the secrets of the Zone but not because he loved the Zone or any of that crap, he was just one of the many Stalkers who wanted to see if the Wish Granter was real. At the end of SoC he finds all that he has chased to be absolute bullshit and he kills the scientists in the pods because he has become disillusioned with the Zone and he finds their work abhorrent. In CoP he is clearly depressed and blames the Zone for taking his friends away from him. His story ends with him vowing to honor the memory of his friends and helps the militray in trying to desroy the Zone as he becomes chief scientific consultant on Zone matters. This doesn't really gel with Strelok in 2 who loves the Zone and is willing to kill one of his closest friends for it in Doctor. Can he have changed during the time passed between Stalker SoC and Stalker 2? Yes, but that's a totally opposite change of who he was as a character in the first games.

[@rosgoncharuk2403]

​@@blodlordI call BS on CoP - Strelok used the military to not only get out of the zone, but to make a life outside of it. From thug to SIRCAA founder - not bad, huh? He was always greedy and selfish, his group was only a tool. All of them did something for Strelok but ended up dead. What did he do for them? Even in SC when doctor saves him, he is indifferent to him. No gratitude, nothing, just a desire to get back and further. A conflict with SIRCAA just enforced his belief that Zone is his to own. Strelok never was a good guy. There are no good guys in the Zone.

[@SatongiFilms]

@@huihui5059 yeah people project their own beliefs on strelok because he was a silent protag. as soon as he gained independent character, these people were like "that's not what I did when I played as hiM!"

[@SatongiFilms]

@@blodlord they directly adress this in stalker 2, he mockingly says "you wanna see my SIRCAA consultant ID?" he grew to dislike everyone and goes solo. "if you're not with me, youre against me" mentality.

[@GHOST49759]

So basically strelok becomes a villain? it honestly makes me sad seeing him the way he is in this one kind of makes me root for when skif gets anything he wants and goes home ending.😢

[@swirekster]

skif doesn't get anything tho, the Government just uses the tech to manipulate everyone into happy life, creating an illusion like a Matrix. Ward ending isn't really that much better than Scar's ending.

[@GHOST49759]

@swirekster then what would be the better ending the zone loose upon the world?

[@primkup]

If you refuse him, Strelok becomes your enemy. But he is not a villain.

[@redactedredacted7250]

Everyone is a villian here... no one gets to eliminate the zone... Scar makes the zone a club of zombies... the ward controls the zone for their own good (and knowing that governments can be corrupt after..), Strelok it's somewhat of a neutral ending.. literally it's the definition of "The end justifies the means", he makes the zone a true exclusion zone, no one enters and no one leaves but still he is sacrificing lives of the few ones who are there for do something good either for a friend or for their own, stuck forever inside until they die... Skif, our main character... makes the zone to be worldwide just for the sake of being a psycho 💀

[@GHOST49759]

@@redactedredacted7250 in that case I guess streloks path is kind of the better path considering the zone basically gets closed off from the outside world but shoot I would hope the zone would get stabilized to the point where emissions were off but anomalies still exist thus making the zone safe for the rest of the world man shit I love the old games too much🥲

[@corvo1776]

I'm ngl I strongly dislike how Strelok and Scar are portrayed in this game. They're both crazy just in different ways

[@Scorched_Desire]

Both of them were indoctrinated by C-Consiousness in Clear Sky ending. Consider them being sleeper agents of sorts

[@ВалерийНикулин-л3и]

Realistic

[@BackJonh]

After what they seen cạn you blame thêm?

[@poorpriest4549]

Skif is literally putting himself in danger and killing hundreds of people just to repair his kitchen. And before that accident with relic all he wanted is to drink booze, watch TV and sell relics from the Zone. Idk but it looks like Skif is even more lunatic than Scar.

[@Tevtonec]

I mean they both were brainwashed before shadow of Chernobyl, and strelok showed heart of Chernobyl in cutscene with doctor if I understand it right. Problem is he wanted Zone to be gone and shifted without good reason. Stockholm syndrome or bad writing - we will never know. Yet we don't know much about strelok after 1st game and gsc made space for twists, so they can do game about strelok between stalker 1 and stalker 2 explaining his research and why he came to it

[@danielmezentsev1419]

I didn’t play it yet… But it seems according to the plot, Dehtyarev & the military men didn’t manage to save Strelok from Pripyat… So he either got mad or brainwashed (again).

[@Amariachan]

nope they did, he just came back to take the zone for himself thinking he is protecting it

[@zaris9598]

like Amariachan said Strelok came back to the zone, there's ingame lore like his PDA which states that he joined SIIRCA but then parted with them and tried to stop them that's why he's back in the zone trying to take it over for himself.
