Just finished AA2, it has some real issues at the push to the Chernobyl nuclear facility, the vegetation covers Monolith Snipers that kill you in nearly one hit and while you can't see them they can certainly kill you, Helicopters will target you more than usual and the Military is so shittily equipped they're dead 2 seconds after they appear on the map by the heavily armored and equipped Monolith soldiers.
Shit's hard bros. frustratingly hard, your best bet is to just run even with top tier gear, even with Exosqueletons and damage soaking artifacts that section will fuck your ass hard in AA2, more than usual.
Still, the mod is highly enjoyable, really nice asthetics, item and gun models.
Plus top tier music

This is pretty easily fixed however if you're willing to just edit some values. I'd download notepad++ or something to make it easier but plain old notepad will work just fine.

First you need to go to gamedata\configs\misc\trade in your CoC directory.
Then open up each trader file (e.g. trade_bandit, trade_barman) and find the line buy_item_condition_factor (should be near the top).
Whatever number that is is what % condition they'll buy at so 0.6 means 60% or more, 1.0 means 100% only etc. Change it to what you want and save the file then do it for the remaining traders.
The second image is what this will look like in notepad++ and the third in plain old notepad, either will work.

Oh and as for the costs and so on you can edit those too, hell you can google 'stalker Call of Chernobyl edit trader costs' or whatever and find it. It's all simple editing like this. You can also toy with carry weights etc and pretty much any variable you want. The unfucker mods are generally just doing this all for you with tested values. I don't know how Misery impliments things like different knives for each mutant and so on but maybe what mutants it can be used on is stored in a text file too and you can edit that easily.

Thinking on it a bit more you might be able to just reduce the base costs of those items to 1RU which would be much faster than editing the trader files (they'd still cost a bit more than 1 RU when you actually buy them for reasons but it'd help). It would simply be a matter of locating where the files are. You'd expect the knives to be in gamedata\configs\weapons then you just have to open it and find the line for 'cost' and edit that value to be 1.

I've picked up Lost Alpha again. Last I played was in 2014, right after release. Damn, did it come far. The gunplay is fantastic, the bugs are ironed out, the graphics are overhauled, they added extra NPCs and what feels like extra quests, it's an all-around better experience. The story is still awful as far as I can tell, and side areas are still locked off behind main story triggers, which in turn triggers me, but I can deal because otherwise the experience is really good.

SoC's story didn't progress much until the latter half, but it was accentuated pretty well by the atmosphere, especially the final stretch. It's not a bad story at all.
The story in the other two games though are pretty bad. CS is essentially just a retread of SoC where even less happens, and CoP boils down to

We regularly get anons in here asking about 'how do I start playing these games' and it's just common courtesy to do in my opinion, same as saging when off-topic or doublepost/tripleposting. Also really, if you were reading the PDA all game you should have known it was scientistis/secret Soviet experiments before you even met Monolith fags. That, crazy conspires, muh noosphere etc are pretty common themes in slav SF and SoC is unashamedly slavic.

Last year the English reps of RoH announced that RoH would be official servers only (in order to maintain their vision). So no mods and no coop with bros. STALKER with no mods and being forced to play with random retards looking for the next open-world survival deathmatch. The Russian side claimed "communication problems" and said that it was always going to be survival deathmatch, never coop.
Anyway, there was a big backlash, everyone said "dropped", both here and on ModDB. The RoH team then made a public statement in response and suddenly they were saying things like (((maybe))) there would be local hosting and mods later on. Very obvious damage control with no promises.
The shill made about 2 posts where he claimed that playing a game online with your friends is automatically coop. Then he just vanished and has not answered a single question or made a single appearance since. I think even he was deceived by the dev team.
tl;dr RoH is an intentionally limited DayZ clone, everyone said "no thanks" and the shill disappeared due to the overwhelming shame

I'll be honest I think that public run servers are fucking cancer when it comes to these kinds of games, mainly because whats stopping groups for setting up a server, locking it and spending about an hour or so gearing up and tkaing the best shit before opening the server.
With DayZ this actually happened with a few servers where they would close it down, take gear and vehicles especially and move em to a camp they built up off map and then open the server.
The no Co-op thing is shit no defending that
