If from modern computer games to choose those,to which most modifications have been created, the first place will definitely be occupied by "Stalker". This stealth shooter, which narrates about the events in the radiation Chernobyl zone, has become a real masterpiece that can be very rarely met among the projects issued by companies of the post-Soviet space. This series of games is great in itself, but it is also remarkable by the fact that the fans have already created quite an impressive number of mods, each of which adds different elements, starting with new weapons and ending with full storylines. Incidentally, the latter option is quite common, because the universe of "Stalker" is extensive, so you can create many different narratives on behalf of different characters. But what about the other stands out the modification of "Stalker: Alternative"? Passage here has not changed, game mechanics, too. What is the difference?
First of all,that this modification not only adds a storyline. It makes it non-standard, alternative, and also introduces into the game process a rather impressive number of side quests that do not affect the plot of the fashion "Stalker: Alternative." Passage, as already mentioned earlier, practically does not differ from the original games and from other modifications. Naturally, here there are also their chips, such as freedom of action or clear obedience to orders (depending on the path that you choose for yourself). But all the outstanding moments in this game should be analyzed separately, as well as determine the recommendations that will help you pass the "Stalker: Alternative" mod. Passage does not take you much time, like most modifications, but it will allow you to look at the world of "Stalker" from an entirely different angle.
So, it's worth starting with the fact that in alloriginal games and modifications, developers and creators independently determined which character the gamer should play for. As for this mod, you are given complete freedom of choice - you can enter the name for your character yourself, and also choose its appearance. However, this is not a particularly significant difference between the modification "Stalker: Alternative" - the passage from this does not change, the appearance of the character only affects what kind of photo is displayed in the dialogs, and the name - how you will be treated by non-player characters. This is just a nice chip, on which you should not stay long and focus on. It's time to move on to more important issues that can also affect your progress. "Stalker: Alternative 1.2" is the latest version of this mod. And it is on the basis of its further consideration of the matter.
At the very beginning of the game, you arrive in the Zone tocarry there service. And then you are put before the main choice in the game - which way are you going? This will completely depend on your passing the game "Stalker: Alternative." And it is here that the essence of the name of the modification is fully revealed. So, you have two options. You can obey the order and go to do what you were sent for, that is, to serve. On the other hand, you can turn to the other side and become a free stalker, who will perform many tasks, travel through the Zone, facing all her dangers. Here is a choice that offers you a modification of "Stalker: Alternative." Passage for the military and for the stalker should be considered separately, as they represent completely different concepts that lead to different ends of the game.
If you decide not to obey the will of the military andgo to free bread, then you will have a huge advantage - freedom of action. You can travel through the Zone and perform tasks designed for the stalker, which will lead you to the ending of the plot. In parallel, you should take side quests, which will allow you to acquire weapons, ammunition, ammunition and so on. Naturally, no one canceled the important part of the series "Stalker" - search for caches. You will do this for someone in accordance with any quests, or for yourself, and maybe you will notice caches accidentally. In any case, they will help you pass the game and will get the most out of the game "Stalker". Mod "Alternative", the passage of which can be divided into two parts, is not limited only to the fate of the stalker. You can easily replay by choosing a different direction. And this is the beauty of this modification.
The lack of a story branch for a free stalkeris that there is nothing new in it. Naturally, the quests there are all original, side tasks are quite interesting, but the concept does not change at all in comparison with the original version or with other modifications. What the "Alternative" is really valued is the passage for the military. Here everything is quite different, the game "Stalker: Alternative" completely changes its appearance. The tour guide will allow you to learn all the details, but it's much better to do it yourself. So, you agree to be a military man, which means that you will have to obey all the orders that your superiors give you. It is necessary to follow the schedule and perform the military missions. In addition, you will be available and untyped quests, and most importantly - some of the tasks of a free stalker will also be open to you. That is, this mode is much more attractive for fans, as it offers a new look at the game from an entirely different character. This has not happened before, and you definitely should try this option.
"Stalker:The alternative "justifies its name, not only because it has two story branches to choose from.If you decide to play for the military, then the end of the game will depend on your actions." In total, this storyline has three branches, each leading to the original ending, so it is recommended to try all three ways, since the duration of the game is not so high, and each of the completion options deserves attention.
It can not be said that the "Alternative" sidequests deserve special attention. Naturally, they are attractive and interesting, but still the focus here is on another, namely, the possibility of playing for the military. Most of the non-suited quests are related to a free stalker, so it's worth to focus on them last.
