S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl + OGSE 0693 mod.
I'll upload a greater variety of shots later.
Am i right in thinking, this mod is now standalone, meaning i dont even need a copy of STALKER installed anymore ?
Correct.
is this standalone mod exactly the same as original but with just better graphics and fixes ?
or should i first play through original stalker ? thx
No, it also has new text / missions / game mechanics.
In your shoes, I probably would play the original game and see how things fare before adding mods straight away (if you have the retail version, just make sure you patch it to 1.0005). If it turns out that you don't like it enough, then there are many, many mods out there that would suit / improve the base game immensely for a new player to the series.
Ok, just installed my retail stalker, will give it ago as vanilla, looks still nice in the graphics department to me.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SOC - the game that just keeps on giving.
It remains possibly one of my all time favourite games.
Excuse my ignorance but how to do include a screen shot in a post?
