Man OH man.... STALKER is getting more and more creepy.
I went to a village with Uncle Yar from Freedom and sniped some Mercs. The village was crawling with zombies!
The zombies were all holding rifles too, so damn scary. They saw us, sometimes hobbled at us but walked away again, they didn't seem too bothered, either because everyone but Mercs love Uncle Yar or because we were walking instead of running.
Then I went back to the village and most of the zombies had dispersed. I went to a lake and saw some walking about, got too close and they started firing, then saw Duty come over and finish them off.
Then after fighting like 5 Bloodsuckers I was walking back to Yanov Station and saw a gun fight, got closer, saw a huge amount of heavily armed zombies just shooting each other. I couldn't stop laughing but they weren't looking at me so I just put a bullet in each head, looted them, tried to move on but a bloody BLOODSUCKER killed the only human there and ran at me.
Once I got back to Yanov station I fixed my gear and sold my loot, then heard gunshots outside, opened one of the double doors and got a shotgun in the face. Looked around and saw 5 zombies slowly approaching dragging their rifles and shotguns. No one inside Yanov cared about the armed zombies approaching.
Went around the side door, then outside, killed em and just went back doing my business, looting the corpses. I looked where one had fallen and it was GONE! I got a little freaked out, I swear I killed them all.
Then he stumbled out from behind a train with just a pistol, unloaded every bullet at me, missing every shot. Can't help but start feeling sorry for these zombies, they stand around like columns all day and sometimes go human hunting. No worse than us Stalkers...
The random stuff happening on these games is awesome.
