CNPP

[Gorgeous Freeman]

Fun fact! The area around the CNPP, Iron Forest, etc. is (as far as I could tell) largely playable.
Granted it isn't accessible via normal means, and is covered in a few instant death radiation zones so it clearly isn't intended to be visited yet but if you use the console for godmode and noclip once you go beyond the Iron Forest gate everything is modelled, textured and has collision. Of course it being inaccessible means there's no discoverable locations or anything to do but still interesting.

Fun fact 2! Mutants and NPCS are also killed by radiation as I had a few bandits and dogs spawn near me while in said instant death radiation zones and they shortly died without any input from me.

Cut content perhaps, or maybe DLC?

So uh spoiler.

They probably intended for Generators to be the last surface area but ran out of time. Strelok instead just opens a portal to the labs directly underneath the generator.

The entire Generators zone is playable, and can be entered from Pripyat, without any radiation death zones in the way.

Yes, I had just finished the game prior and wanted to explore, I left that part out because I didn't want to spoil anything.
