Started this again from where I left.
Since previously, new game was needed every time a big patch was released, I wasnt able to go deep into storyline. But now that its almost 8 months since a patch came out, I thought it was fine to continue.
Game is actually different when it comes to laying out the mission path but not the mission goal itself. Maps are altered. And it actually adds new feeling to the game. Now the important thing. I have played StalkerSoup as well and I can say once we get a certain device to transmute items into new powerful artifacts, the game feels very much easy (I reached almost Radar area). And money isnt issue at all too in that one. But it isnt the same in Lost Alpha. I have completed the Dark valley lab X18 quest and Im still trying to just barely survive in each main quest since I have that normal Stalker Suit the one which Barkeep in Bar/ Rostock gives us) and Obokan with Silencer attachment only. I am not able to find any artifacts to increase weight cap as well.
Talking about X18, the goal is still the same, as to fetch some documents, but the lab itself is altered. I ran out of ammos inside it, thanks to a certain faction base above the lab itself. In the lab, I had to kill 2 burers with knife since I had no ammo left
But there is one thing which bores me out. Certain main quests are "go talk to X and return to me to deliver msg". They should have done something about it. NPCs are using PDA to talk so it should have been implemented. Walking all the way to a certain guy crossing 3-4 maps is annoying sometimes, esp when the A-Life is scarce (bcoz we killed some of the spawns first time we clashed).
So there was a guy who suggested me SLAM pack for this. Its a certain bug fixing cum new features adding patch. This one adds more A-life, add guides (like they were in Call of Pripyat). I didnt try the texture pack since its size were big and I was satisfied with visuals anyways.
And yea, the main menu music added by this pack is awesome. [MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION], check it once Lost Alpha Slam pack music
