I know this is a bit passe now, but this pretty much requires a 'DEAL WITH IT' to appear at the end.

Does GAMMA have the same level of difficulty adjustment as Anomaly?
Can I have a save where I traipse around the zone with all my spawned in equipment, and then another save where I can go full misery mode?

I killed a karlik the other day. It was carrying a porno mag, a joint and one of those RPG IEDs. Living dangerously for such a little guy.

I adored the first three Stalker games, I got the itch again, so instead of replaying them for the fourth time I installed Anomaly. I've been playing it for a couple days and I'm having some issues and I want to know if things get better. The parts I like about the mod is that it's very big, there's a lot of guns, and I like the sandbox idea to it. The more play, the more I find I dislike. I can tolerate the ridiculous crafting system, but I can not find basic tools anywhere. I can't upgrade anything. The bases, save the rookie village in the cordon, are empty except for a vendor or two. The mod is unreasonably difficult at times, it'll throw controllers at me when all I have is a sawn off TOZ. Boars are usually a death sentence unless I can find geometry to jump onto. Sometimes taking a couple missions will lose me money because of the bandages and medkits I have to repurchase. My biggest gripe is that the mod does not appear to reward exploration. My favorite thing about the 3 games is that you generally can find pretty nice stuff if you are clever, or go out of your way enough. It isn't like this, as far as I can tell, in Anomaly. There isn't much point in going to places that don't have a marked stash or aren't a quest objective.

My question is, does it get better? I'm willing to give it more time, but the glacial pace at the start makes it hard to tell if there is something to look forward to, or if it is always going to be like this.

I found that the Call of Chernobyl mod was a better transition from the official STALKER games. Anomaly was way too much the first time for me - I bounced off it and went back to CoC.

weird business in the living legend questline. i found the man and we talked and i did some jobs for his buddies. finally, he told me "hey lets go do this big fight" and there is no task in my pda about it, no waypoints, no one else has mentioned it in his crew or my faction leadership (duty). talking to strelok himself doesnt move things along. am i missing something? should i be doing some other yellow quests, as they seem to be mostly procgen'd at this point? i told his rear end i was ready!

Try talking to Stitch and Rogue to kick things off.

I think I must have accidentally activated a forbidden GAMMA mod. I've started a new game and every time the word 'Anomaly' appears it's spelled 'amomawy' or 'amomawies'.

Does anything ever happen when you get the messages saying that someone has taken a hit out on you, or are they just for flavour?

Never noticed anyone hunting me, though by that point generally everyone who might take a hit out on me is getting shot.

Earlier in the thread there was a post about two controllers laying a trap in Radar.

This happened to me today after having run through the place about 200 times. Quite a surprise.

Here's someone else's video of the experience.

Outskirts is a bit ridiculous in the new version of Gamma.

Nothing like running into seven controllers, a burer and a poltergeist all at once.
