Sand box as random stalker.

[cavetroll]

It woud be absolutely awesome if there woud be some sandbox mod where you pick faction and custom stalker and just do general stalker stuff like "Stalker anomaly" and gamma.

I hope to God not!!!

max you gonna get is change factions

There will undoubtedly be mods for this game that may allow this if not right out of the box. I'm more curious about the multiplayer portion of the game. I'm hoping for a more sandbox mode. If multiplayer is just an arena shooter, I'll be slightly disappointed, but it wouldn't affect my opinion of the game overall. Stalker solo play comes first.

Why not ? It doesnt have to be "main" mode. It can be separete called "survival" or something. They woud just spawn you in some camp without story quests and map unlocked and you woud basically foold around doing secondaries. It doesnt add ton of stuff on top. It woud prolong game for many players. :)

%100 good idea, the reason why I spent hundereds of hours on STALKER Anomaly is because its open ended and you can play as any faction, just doing stupid ♥♥♥♥ with no real end goal.

I expect them to have this in basegame or modders to add this, modding should be quite easier in this game since it runs on UE5 too.

Then you can go back to spending hundereds of hours in anomaly instead of trying to force additions introduced by overrated mods into the real game.

EDIT: Thank you, angry anomaly fanboys, for the free points.

A sandbox or semi-sandbox (like successive objectives to fulfill) mode is what could be best for the multiplayer mode imo.

If Stalker 2 is a moddable as the original, we'll get some sort of mod that'll do this fairly fast.

I see nothing wrong in a sandbox mode, FOR THOSE WHO LIKE IT, but I'll rather enjoy story mode until I've tried every possible ramification of the story.

I, myself, enjoy how SoC and CoP are a mix of story and sandbox, since while new areas are locked behind main story milestones, there's no hurry and you are always free to either progress, explore or do side quests at your own pace.

That is good but given that you play story campaign, you can never trully die and you are not in danger. Iron man in anomaly gives stalker another dimension of feeling. But each other to its own i gues.

Let the modders take care of the noodling around fanbase, I want a real game.

Pretty sure I died in the hundreds in my playthroughs.

But I guess die-hard ironman mode survivalists may consider "save scumming" anything short of surviving from the opening credits to the endgame credits, while fighting their hardest battles against starvation rather than mutants.

There are people who enjoy being whipped, choked or stepped on too, but that doesn't mean these activities are universally praised.

You died hundreds in stalker game ? I mean by same logic you presented i coud say that you dying constantly is being nOOb and that being hand helded trough whole game isnt activity universallly praised. :D That is just stupid argument ;-) This is not about who is good or not but about having most fun of the game. You lot seem like you think that STALKER 2 having survival sandbox option will take away story away ?? There coud be both and both fanbases can enjoy it ?

I find very funny that you call another players angry fanboys for wanting something changed in stalker. Did you ever read Picnic by the road ? Do you even know that original "Stalker" has nothing to do with Chernobyl power plant ? Or that original cause of "zone" are aliens ? My point is, that without "angry fanboys" wanting to change stalker there woud be NO stalker :D . But you didnt read books since you are like 13old boy who has power fantasies of being chad on steam right ?
