Why Did They Leave Out These Features In Stalker 2?

[@Eridium2]

I'm still interested to see what will fully happen when we get more mods for stalker 2 as we slowly see more content that could've been cut now modded back into the game. But what do you think?

[@frankyg2384]

I seen a tip on a youtube short saying that the electricity ball anomaly that moves around won't chase you if you unequip the artifacts that you're using to boost stats, but you obviously want to stay out of its way, then equip the artifacts again when you're done in the area of the anomaly.

[@mandrews6282]

They’re still planning on adding a lot more. In addition to at least 1 expansion they have confirmed multiplayer is coming. This game is going to have some legs, especially with modders jumping in as well, so I would be shocked if we don’t get something as small as night vision as well.

- Faction portraits for enemy stalkers & friendly stalkers - repeatable side missions that you can do for technician, traders basically anyone that’s friendly (hostage rescues, bounty hunter, mutant hunting missions, Trading missions) - more duty missions! - Ledge Grabbing - NVG’s (seeing Npcs strolling round with them makes me jealous) - F1,F2,F3,F4 quick slots - crafting & dismantling it could definitely be possible to add as a feature when ender chests are thing on this game, then modders could give us hideout furniture/craftable workbenches (weirdly I’ve seen workbenches around in the open world) if they made it like that, they could do it so that if you have your own workbench, upgrades are free but you have to find the necessary items to upgrade parts of armor/ guns - more upgrade options for weapon/armour - day & night cycle slider to choose if we want to play more at night - Cigs/Smokes for bringing down radiation (NPC’s are smoking most of the time + vodka/beers are 2 other items that help with rads don’t see the harm in cigs to help with radiation too especially if we don’t like making ourselves drunk on the game lol) - encyclopedia

We can already sort of replicate ledge grabbing by modifying the parameters of mantling already available in the game.

[@Clint_Beastwood87]

One of the things is missing is everything related to PDA and faction system.

[@DaimeneX]

As the trilogy progressed the PDA was gutted more and more to be fair. Shadow of Chernobyl was the most comprehensive with Strelok's personal notes, lore section with bestiary and other info on the zone. Clear Sky already gutted the PDA heavily as all the extra tabs were removed and only Map, Faction War, Stats and Message Log remained, Faction War screen being only useful when you actually engaged the faction war system, and statistics being just a bunch of stats and faction rep which mostly worked only when you actually joined a faction. Call of Pripyat then got rid of Faction War entirely and stats got its rep section replaced by achievements, favored weapon and most dangerous mutant you hunted down.

[@Kradyn]

Hey there. Greetings and thumbs up from Ukraine. FYI mutant skinning was in the original trilogy even without mods - mods only made it better (in Original only 1 certain piece could've been torn of the mutant, mods added variability and animations) As for the cat, just yesterday encountered one on Junkyard and it was pretty interesting experience - it not only meow'd, it reproduced various voices of stalkers, bandits and soldiers, also near it I had a sleepy state (so exhaustion is a thing in Stalker 2) and if the Cat is near and you do not fill your ass up with energy drinks, you fall asleep for 1-2 seconds and in this moment the Cat attacks. Also, this little sh..t can open doors! Cheers

​@@niffirg1113 That's because X-Ray Engine is hellish to modify for that kind of feature. Those code wizards had to manually write the entire multiplayer part of the game to support coop.

Its typical GSC. Shadow of Chernobyl didnt have a artifact detector, youd just find them randomly sitting on the ground or rolling down a hill.

Imho the best mod you can get is modular hard mode. I like to be punished in games like this coming from gamma and tarkov so when I started up veteran for the first time and realised its way too easy and you get bombarded by consumables I felt the game didn't feel challenging at all. I use the hardcore setting along with all of the other modules (armour, weapons, evenlessloot) but it has a few options. Others I'd recommend alongside it are alife extended hostile mode, medkit and consumable rebalance, even longer days 12 hour version, readable ammo, better physics and mutant loot like you mentioned with the MHM mutant loot hardcore mod also added to balance the prices. All of these combined make the game feel a little bit closer to what I envisioned the game to be, a tough but rewarding experience. We are a long way out from a true overhaul mod but that is what I truly want, but I am loving the game so far and honestly think GSC smashed it out of the park all things considered.

[@sekory88]

faction warfare mode with a proper display how your relation is and npc should have a tag with there faction tied to there name. First they need to fix AI-life.

[@mickeyfrknmouse6673]

We def need something from mutants to make back some of the cost for killing them...right now they r just ammo dumps.

[@kpirx]

I miss these features, but more important are changes to core gameplay mechanics. l So the whole Economy in S2 iand gameplay loop is broken! You move 5 meters in the zone and have to come back and leave 20 000 - 30 000 for repairs, and rewards from artifacts and stashes are ridiculously small. So basically everybody are hording enemy weapons back and forth, again and again instead of exploring and looking for artifacts which supposed to be the whole essence of being a Stalker !!!! Devs need to think what is the core of these game. I don't mind hight prices for upgrades and repairs, but these game need changes like: - Give cash rewards in stashes and on enemies so there is a reason to fightem and loot them. - Give higher cash reward for artifacts (recent patch makes it better only slightly) - Give some lootable elements on dead mutants (like tissue samples) so we can sell them and there is reason to hunt them. - Then lower the money for selling guns. so there is no reason to carry all these junk. !

[@WVRLORD]

Artifacts gave a good amount I was regularly getting 10-15k an artifact and was getting some that were 20-30k they also respawn more frequently then other games (not sure if that’s intended) you can 100% make easy money with artifacts. You could definitely say things degraded to fast and were a bit expensive but moneys not as hard to come by like a lot of people are saying. I feel like after the update things were tilted a bit too much in the other direction, you make almost too much money now. I pretty much fully upgraded all of my weapons and armor at the start my first or second time being a the main town in lesser zone on veteran… Same with mutant damage and health, first played on stalker and they were too spongy and did Hella damage (this I’m fine with) now in veteran they don’t do any where near as much damage and I’m 2-3 tapping bloodsuckers with early game shot guns and not even a mag from SMG, when you got mid to late game on previous patch mutants started dropping way easier, It’s going to be nothing now before mid game even.

[@Eridium2]

So far the patch has increased the amount of money you get from selling artifacts and also from missions you do. It's given me a reason specifically to go out and also keep doing more side missions. The confusing part is how the game tells you how much your gun is worth. But each vendor gives you different prices that are nowhere as close to what it tells you. This could confuse tons of new players but I'm sure some of these things will get fixed eventually.

[@Bang-Smash]

I mostly miss stuff from the OG games. Having name and faction displayed when looting bodies. Stalker and Bandit groups looting bodies after a fight. nvg in helmet and nvg optics for guns. more options for optics. more radio chatter and able to participate in random events. and definitely more random encounters, the world feels totally empty and it's like a running simulator at this point.

[@BeRitCrunk]

Lootable mutants was something absent from Call of Pripyat, the (previously) most recent title. It was probably 'left out' because it contextualized the mutants in a way the designers felt wasn't suitable for their intentions. If there is code for mutant looting, it is either because all NPCs share the same feature set, or they were playing with the idea during development but arrived at the same conclusion they had in Call of Pripyat. The Zone, as it were, is a character unto itself. Anomalies and mutants are a part of the zone. The ONLY thing in the zone that is of any interest are the artifacts. Everything else you want comes from outside in. Mutants? They're a resource sink. You don't WANT to kill mutants. Not because it is a moral question, but because it's a waste of ammo. You want to AVOID mutants, similar to the way you want to avoid anomalies. Think of mutants as anomalies that can move, AND you have an option to stop their movement (death). It's not worth your time unless you can not escape, or presumably have something more valuable to grab (nearby artifact/quest). If mutants were valuable to kill in and of themselves there would be one correct answer to every single engagement - kill. Not interesting.

#1 for me has to be the ability to maintain my own guns in the field, having to trek all the way to a hub just to clean and oil a gun is incredibly annoying. skif literally demonstrates competency at reassembling guns but wants to act like he's got enough koupons to burn by only having them professionally maintained. followed by any reason to do more than run from mutants. just not worth the effort.

[@Eridium2]

Yeah some sort of weapon repair kit you can buy from a vendor for a moderate price would probably solve this issue. But I feel it's the main loop of the game where it's forcing you to go back or just drop the guns to scavenge for other guns etc.

NV and Binoculars are in the game data in the game, just not in the game currently. Big reason is A-life is yet working correctly.

And yes I will be porting over CHEEKI BREEKI!. All factions can only fit 4 lines of combat audio for each trigger unfortunately. Like reload, flank, findenemy etc. Big step down from the OGs.

[@taylorp3685]

Dude, the game gets so difficult the further in you get. NPC’s are spawning with such strong armor, and I’m only playing on stalker difficulty… I’m terrified to just roam now like you are lol! Every gun fight could cost me so much money LMAO! Even with the Nerf! Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s completely fair how much it cost to repair things, but the enemies that will randomly spawn are either heavily armoured monolith, or just a resource dumping beast. Has anyone noticed a life running a bit better? I’m finding more random fights breaking out, as well as more beasts and stalkers just walking a path through the zone.. ? I’m not sure if they did any repairs to this but it’s starting to feel lived in and like more stalkers are just walking around doing your thing?

[@Eridium2]

So I've been told that the A-life is disabled and it's just normal enemy spawning which is interesting. BUT yeah I've noticed slowly but surely it's gonna start getting harder at least in my experience.

This game is soo good until that unable to save bug hits you and you have progressed hours and thinking deleting all of the saves would help because like any other game, they have save overload……

[@southernbrain691]

Care to go into detail,when did this happen to u

[@AustinGMRS]

@ idk what happened but it just any normal procedure. I opened my game from quicksave(yes i’m on console) and this game just opened recently compare to where I left it on quicksave overnight after a crash which doesn’t change anything but when continuing the game explore and get some loots, I was going to do another normal save, then it said “unable to save” and I was thinking it probably save slot overload from the autosaves since i was doing 1 save only while the autosaves will stack onto each other. And after delete all of my saves including that 1 manual save….., that’s where I regret everything…….. and the only solution to fix it is to restart the game. Soo yeah you get the idea and which is why we all need to spam the ticket to prevent this happening since I’ve seen alot in the internet

[@Eridium2]

I've also heard that some folks are running into issues relating to the further you get in the story the worse the bugs including unable to save the game and bricking saves.

I'd like some base building like in Fallout 4. But then, doesn't the game reset after the story is over ? If so, i'd want that stupid feature removed and the world to be as you left it.

[@Freedomer3]

You'll have to wait a mod for that Since stalker was never really that kind of game with base building

[@RoughWalkers]

Thats not really the point of stalker tho

[@Herne0011]

If only we could scavenge and create our own bases. It would make the game next level. Even being able to renovate existing structures.....perhaps a future mod might do it. PS from memory no skinning mutants was not in game at original release. Hell the game barely ran without crashing (the launch and months after were so bad compared to Stalker 2). PPS you gotta push a box all the way to that bunker and jump up the side of it. Pretty sure there is some damn good loot on top of it.

@southernbrain691 how do you interpret the want for more immersion as "hunting down meta guns"? Many ppl love the immersion part of tarkov, which is why SPT and many mods improving immersion exist... and which is why EFP and GAMMA for Stalker exist. As Stalker is the perfect base for such high immersion experiences, it hits the perfect vibe and rhythm.

mutant skinning was not in the original. Original 2007 game was very bone barren on features. A LOT was added by mods and later compound in Anomaly. I can't wait to see what this game will turn in to after 2-3 years of modding - it will be glorious. I treat the vanilla game as a tech demo basically.

In SoC you could loot mutants. So yes, it was there

They're not really ghosts Being "invisible" and telekinesis are the powers of the mutant Cause yes, they're just x-labs created mutants, an alternative to controllers, which is why their appearances are so similar But there's pyrogheists too, a variant of the polter They spawn flame anomalies on your position They have the same physical body as a polter but their aura when invisible is red/orange instead of blue
