No women in the game ?

[ExTaZzY]

This is my first stalker game and I m having a good time but it took me a while to notice that there are no women in the game and I'm not here to complain, I don't really care at all and it's not that bad without lmao but I was wondering if there is any lore explanation for this

It's not a huge criticism but I think in a modern game it would make sense for to be at least a few women stalkers and scientists; problem is: they would be attacked and raped a lot in a lawless land filled with bandits. Realistically speaking It would be a complicated thing to have to cover and write without major controversy. But certainly in the real world, there would at least be some women willing to risk it for adventure, science, military duty, becoming a bandit queen, etc. etc.

There are multiple women in the game. But obviously most would not want to be here.

Yes there are, keep playing, I'll never forget that scene.....

It's an accurate representation of reality. Women are not going to venture off into an extremely hazardous, lawless area, filled with men. Their safety would be threatened by the mutants and the men. Sexual assault would be a constant threat. Now one could argue that there could be a few attached to the military. I don't know if there are a few in game. But in reality it would be none.

Cool. Will be interesting to see how they are portrayed.

It's a fair criticism. Go anywhere on the planet in the most harsh, war-torn areas and you will find women. And before anyone thinks something like "why would a woman ever go into The Zone..." let me tell you there are women astronauts, woman soldiers, women that walk into the most harshest, dangerous environments you can think of. Courage has NOTHING to do with gender. If the Stalker universe existed in the real world, you can bet your ass there would be women out there, locked and loaded, scavenging for treasure.

Women going off alone into lawless areas almost never works out well for them. Only in the movies. Missionary and aid workers can speak to that. Women would be an extra target in the zone for bandits and Stalkers
