MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Just wanted to regale my recent experience as a Recon.

I had barely managed to retrieve Snag’s container and make it through the cave of Snorks. I received an update on my PDA informing me that my quest to provide food to the Mercs had failed. Curious, I went to their camp to figure out what went wrong. Maybe they starved to death. The camp was empty apart from the corpse of a Merc with a dog lying next to him. Did a pack of dogs overpower the Mercs? Surely not. Alert, I went further in, knowing this was a bad idea but the thought of a loot windfall was too tempting.

I slowly approached a small shed, and to my surprise, the door opened. A swarm of bandits poured out, like clowns from a clown car, and pumped my body so full of holes I imitated a new brand of Swiss cheese. That’s what I call an ambush.

Re-loaded save, hauled *** to the Bar, stocked up on fresh food, and hauled my cheeks back to the Mercs, thankfully still alive. Quest complete. A decent stash hid in a corner for my trouble.

But now I got new problem. Nightfall approaching, I needed to get back to the bar by 3am for my next quest.

I opted to make my way back through the petrol station area. I had enough Snorks for one day. From a distance, I could make out human silhouettes, shuffling around and babbling incoherently. Zombies. Turning off my headlamp, I attempted to sneak around them.

The darkness, combined with my cracked gas mask, I must as well have been blind folded. I clumsily stumbled into a zombie head on. Thank god I equipped my Kevlar earlier. I ate the first bullet as I made a mad dash for cover. The gunfire attracted more zombies to my position. I poked my head out of cover, and carefully, aimed my pistol. The flash of their gun muzzles helped illuminate the area. Bullets were whizzing past me, but I kept my cool. I methodically took down each one of the horde with some well-placed headshots. Victorious, and not daring to add more weight to my backpack, I sprinted back to base faster than an Olympic runner on 3 cans of Hercules and a bloodsucker on his tail.

My point is this. This mod is blooming awesome. You just don’t get this kind of experience with the base game. Each venture out in the zone requires careful forward planning and management of inventory, but even your best laid plans can be laid low by the zone. It just makes it all the more rewarding when you come out victorious. So, just wanted to say, fantastic work to all the modders and people who have made this mod possible. Well done.

What a mod tbh. I have probably thousands of hours into it.

Anomaly/GAMMA is great, sure, but MISERY's atmosphere and foundations are what chained it to my heart.

The game crashes every 5 min with this error

Can I play misey with Gunslinger as well? How do i merge the two mods together?
Thank you.

A bit of disappointing news on the STALKER 2 front: Release date pushed back to Sep 5th, 2024. We recognize and respect the desire to present a fully polished final product. Hears hoping they meet all expectations while toiling under less than ideal war footing. Slava Ukraine!
