Every enemy wearing exoskeleton armor!

[nrmrks]

Closer to the end of the story, every NPC enemy I meet, wearing exoskeleton armor, most of the are Monolith guys and besides that they are too many! Is this ok? Am I the only one who experiencing this? Maybe this is a bug?

I think every enemy wearing exos ruins immersion. Not all zone goers are rich and can afford them. Even then I doubt there would be enough supply to supply everyone with them. Bad world building.

Yeah, I went there quite early game over the train cart and farmed those suckers....was raking it in

I get your point, but, OP posted these enemy were Monolith, think about it, that's a completely different situation than some random stalkers or even military...

I'm inclined to agree. Even the two rookie villages had them everywhere after I passed a certain story point.

If I had known that story point would upset the entire map that much and give most NPC's exo's, I would've held off with progressing for a bit.

I'll know for my next run, but I think it would have been a better idea to introduce exoskeletons more gradually and perhaps a little later in the story.

I'd give Monolith most of the exo's, but tone it down for other factions (except maybe Ward).

And its not just the suit. Under the programming even with a T-shirt their suits have exaggerated stats compared to ours. To fake difficulty. Cheap old programming trick.
Same suit: we have 20 rad resist (for example) they have 100...

And they will all answer in Monolith voice: "Shoot the Head".

I love STALKER. But only with mods to help.

Sound familiar? Just substitute Power Armour for...
And yeah, thank the gawds for player\community mods to salvage crappy game design like that [cough, cough, that's on you Todd and your power fantasy...]

Everyone you encounter after the Duga is wearing exoskeletons - not just Monolith. It would make sense to have them concentrated around end-game missions like they did in CoP, but every NPC in this game has cashed in their life insurance for some new fourth gen exoskeletons. They need to rebalance weapon damage first and foremost, then this wouldn't be as much of a big deal outside of destroying the atmosphere at campfires. People saying this is fine shouldn't be taken seriously anymore.

I believe the plot explains it once you reach SIRCAA. They were testing it and said it would eventually go into "Mass Production". Then you have the monolith threat at that point in the game that would warrant it being handed out like candy on halloween.

More wear it, certainly not all.

Yep, part of the world evolving with your progress.

I think it is a ok, hits at a point you should have the tools to deal with them (armour/weapons/artifacts).

In fact you can get the tools long before that if you explore.

Naa, it's not.

Not every little STALKER standing around should wear an Exo.
Same as all the Mono

Ward, ok, they're funded somewhat (or whatever).

Aim for the head, Stalker!

Huzzah!!!

Well, it's a bit silly so see everyone in Rookie Village with an Exo though.
