Why the HELL did I not have one of these before?

This thread will also be know as Ask A S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

1) What difficulty are you on?
2) What is your favorite weapon
3) What's the craziest thing you've done in the game

Currently, I am playing through Shadow of Chernobyl using L.U.R.K. mod:

I'm accustomed enough with STALKER to play on Master difficulty (with a little frustration) and I'm also playing with no crosshair to help with immersion. LURK does a great job of really paring down the interface so its just you, a few vital stats and the game.

My favourite weapon tends to change from mod to mod. In Vanilla stalker it was probably a fully loaded LR300 (suppressor, sight, grenade launcher) with a fully loaded AK-74 Rapid as a close second. In OL it was definitely the Groza OC-14 with suppressor and PSO-1 scope. I'm also a big fan of machine pistols throughout the series, and the SVD is really great in mods where the sight doesn't wander too badly.

As for crazy stuff, I think storming the millitary base in an APC when I played Oblivion Lost mod was pretty awesome. I tried sneaking in a dozen times and just got frustrated so I went all GTA on them.

The 9x39 rifle ammo is a bitch to find. On my current playthrough I've found maybe 120 rounds.

Also, you can drive vehicles in Oblivion Lost?

You sure can drive vehicles in OL. There's a car, a shitty Jeep and an armored transport. All of them have hilarious physics and if you drive one into an anomaly you FLY LIKE AN EAGLE.

So what's this about a STALKER RPG you're working on?

I am in fact designing (and running) a STALKER rpg, based on the D20 system. I may do a thread in other projects where I'll dump the rules as I tinker with them.
