Is this really so?

[LeviataN]

Hi guys, maybe my question sounds a bit stupid, I'm new to the STALKER series. I like the game in general, but... Do I really have to spend the whole damn game running from point A to point B without any type of vehicle or "fast travel"?? this is so??

[mactraher]

You can meet fast travel only in call of pripyat if you approach the stalker and choose the right line in the dialog.Cars are not provided in all three games. (Sorry if this text contains mistakes)

Most of global mods have transport and/or fast travel. Not so for vanilla. The reason is that most of mods have much more quests, locations and roads to drive. Not so for vanilla. Speedruners can reach CNPP in ten minutes - no need for transport, therefore

Thank you for your answers. It's a shame I don't have vehicles or fast travel :(

As I said, I like the game in general, but it is unbearable to have to do everything running, I have 3 or 4 hours in play and I have already traveled the first map about 6 times going back and forth to look for the reward of some mission.

If you're doing side missions, then be prepared for going back-to-back very often. If your main goal is main story, then you just visit the same location like 2 times at max, Army Warehouse and Bar most of the time as it will be one of your possible trade point later ingame.

Unfornunately, don't except Vehicles in vanilla game. Fast Travel / Travel system is implemented later in CS and CoP.

Knowing the map will help you alot! Especially long term, if you later on want to play Anomaly or something.

Because of the dynamic A-Life system in the game you never know what you'll run into when travelling from A to B. Some of your most memorable encounters will be completely random, where you get side tracked while originally on your to something completely different. That's a big part of what makes stalker great.
The zone is a harsh place, there are few conveniences. Half of the fun is about the journey to your next point so you can stop and smell the coffee along the way and see what you come across, not instantly arriving at that point. If you want to get form A to B, start walking.

Its a shame to be that lazy, rookie ))) Go strategic, have a voyage planning, remember about weight limit, use artifacts.

Enjoy the scenery and the constant paranoia of where is the next bullet coming from, or a pack of dogs, or a lone blood sucker hunting you in the night. Walking in this game builds huge atmosphere. Fast travel makes the Zone a lot less interesting. By that I mean, when you are walking it's easier to get immersed.

Ratcatcher in Agroprom found a beater car and got it running. Maybe see if you can do the same?

The journey from Point A to B can be quite interesting

there is fasttravel in clear sky, at the Guides.

The ZRP Mod maintains vanilla integrity and adds a fast travel system. Check it out sometime, it may be just what you're looking for.

Vanilla Integrity meaning it doesn't alter the core game play too much. OP asked for fast travel or vehicles and I gave them an answer.

If you want to talk sideways or be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it then go elsewhere, no one asked for your smart ass remark.

There are a couple of shortcuts that become available after a while, other than that nothing fancy like modern games.
