I doubt I catch all inconsistencies but here we go: First of all Faction relations are only based on Anomaly and Gamma and have nothing to do with trilogy. For example in CS Mercs are at war with Freedom and in SoC they spy on them. Duty may be accused of cooperating with Military but their relations strongly depend on their current leader and which branch of the military we are talking about. Even Loners while technically hostile to military often bribes them and even have a whole base under their checkpoint. All relations are more complicated than simple ally or enemy. Some of them are both hostile and friendly at the same time. 02:05 Sidorovich is not the leader. Loners mostly consist of lone squads working for one of many influential persons like Beard, Barkeep, Sakharov or Sidorovich. There were some bigger "gangs" like the ones in CS leaded by Orest or Valerian but there is no single leader of this "faction" 02:15 Clear Sky (as far as trilogy goes) no longer exist. All remnants are either dead or left the faction after CNPP raid. 03:10 CS members were not that skilled as many fans like to suggest. They were struggling with mere renegades before Scar arrived. All of their victories are solely possible by Scar's involvement which Lebedev himself admit. 05:00 I do not know where did you find that story about Yoga. I assume it is from one of the fan made mods. 05:30 After Strelok disabled Brain Scorcher North is way more accessible that it may looks. In CoP you can encounter some stalkers on the field wearing simple leather jackets like Awl a friend of Petruha. You do not have to be a geared veteran to access it. 05:45 Sultan is the leader of the gang in Zaton. He never appeared in Dark Valley in trilogy. 06:40 Truck Cemetery is cut location and it never appeared in the games. 07:05 Duty started from a survivors of a military escapade into the Zone. Afghan war is never mentioned as a major factor. 08:55 Again unofficial lore. 11:25 Yanov station is neutral ground shared between both Duty and Freedom. 11:55 There is no reason for Freedom to be allied with both of them. They were at war with Mercs in CS and were hostile to bandits. The base in Dark Valley is also owned by bandits in SoC which most likely was not taken by peaceful matters. 12:15 Monolith never attacked barrier in order to conquer the Zone. It is related with Brain Scorcher work cycle and mostly act as deterrent. Attacks most likely stopped after SoC. 15:10 Their relations are way more complicated as mentioned above. 17:15 Majority of them is from Russia and Ukraine. Mercs that we may assume are foreigners are mostly from Armenia and Georgia. 18:05 Professionalism and discipline are overstatement. Mercenaries in idle voicelines often complain about how untrustworthy are their colleagues stating that theft and killing is a possible threat. Also some of stalkers in dialogues consider mercs to behave like brigands. 18:30 Dead City is a cut content although it was supposed to be location of Mercs base. Dushman is also cut from the games. 20:25 Monolith is focused on defending the North. It is not actively fighting other factions. 20:35 Brain Scorcher and most of known laboratories are most likely still controlled by military or are empty by the end of trilogy. 21:10 I would like to know where did you find that information. I do not recall any of that being mentioned in games. Sin and UNISGN is a cut content so I won't be dwelling into this.
Damn okay, now I get why people say that I got a lot wrong. I thought the only thing I ignored was the faction relations. Which is strange because I used the wiki (the fandom one). This is where I got most of my info about leaders like Yoga. I also watched and re watched ZanZax's video to ensure this info is part of the original trilogy and not anomaly.

Now, not to throw shade or anything, it's a great video after all. Duty forming and where they come from lore-wise is wrong in this video.. yes it is mentioned that some of them have been in the afghan war, but the forming of duty is from the first failed military expedition to the CNPP after the zone.. well appeared. The remaining alive soldiers couldn't escape and formed their own faction quite early into the zone's existence, as they have seen the horrors of the zone they swore their duty will be to cleanse it, hence the name - Duty
Yes. I believe the story was that they had seen what damage snorks could do, and realized that was just one of many horrors within the zone. Scared them enough to want to contain it rather than carry out their original orders.
This video is unfortunately riddled with GAMMAslop and Anomalyslop misinformation, but it is what it is, if someone isn't righteous about it is fine. Anyhow heres some actual information regarding the Sin faction. First of all, a small debunking; No the Sin faction is not neutral with Monolith or allied with them at all, and no the Sin faction is not a knockoff of the Monolith faction. Both factions appeared first in the exact same descripton document back in 2002, both being separate factions with separate bases and separate goals. The Sin faction originally housed itself in the Army Warehouses... well Warehouse, which may raise some questions, which can be easily answered with the fact that Freedom at the time was living at the Supermarket in Dead City. Now on topic of this forcefield protection, it is absolute modfanon lore, they were just truly severely mutated stalkers who became half-zombies (it is unclear what this means as another faction known as Evil Dead or simply The Dead, were also classified as half-zombies and dark stalkers), Unlike Evil Dead they were under the control of psychotropic mutants, most likely controllers or one of the many many many cut psychotropic powered mutants from the STALKER Oblivion Lost Era. The Sin faction was eventually forgotten and cut by the end of 2004 when the STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl Era began, there are still leftover files containing the textures for one of the NPCs. Sidenote: It should be made clear that the Sin faction members should not be confused with the Misty Swamps (cut location) unique anomaly, called Dark Stalker, which was caused by the toxic vapors present within the swamps, a hallucination taking the shape of a Sin member which bothered constantly the player.
well, the International Scientific Group there is nothing much to say, they're truly loreless compared to Sin and the two other cut factions (Black Slime [Black Slugs] and Evil Dead [The Dead]), another thing that should be mentioned is that Clear Sky and Last [Final] Day also appeared alongside these other factions. Yes that means that all of these factions were first introduced in 2002 for STALKER Oblivion Lost and lived alongside each other. - Sin - Monolith - Clear Sky - Last Day - Evil Dead - Black Slime the ISG doesn't since those guys were cut from STALKER Clear Sky.
I mean, if I had to try to explain what "chiki briki i v damki!" means (at least as I see it as a person that speaks russian) it would be something like hop-skip and we/I got this! Or hop-skip and we/I are/am golden! V Damkach is a russian term in checkers when a piece reaches the furthest row and becomes a damka (or king, using terminology from the english checkers page on wikipedia) and chiki-briki are in this context quick actions that will lead someone to damki, that is, a favorable result or position or simply victory.

Missinformation about the Renegades. They are only friendly to Bandits, and it is said that Bandits hardly tolerate them. They are basically members of most factions, who commited crimes to heinous that they got kicked out and joined with other like minded people, hence why they are called "Renegades".
@@ORBbackfromdead In lore, renegades are psycho bandits, basically bandits but outcasts with terrifying background stories, (ie, rapists serial killers, etc.) since a normal bandit is probably a mugger, renegades and bandits dont get along, although the main difference between a renegade and a bandit, Bandits go in packs, instead of being a centralized faction. Renegades are loosely held up group, and basically a faction for Clear sky (game) its lore and leaders are hard to find.
I'm pretty sure there is no information about Mercenaries being from America or other western countries (in the vanilla game) Although some of them do have Armenian/Georgian (Caucasus region) sounding accents and names You could probably say they're more eastern than most in the Zone Perhaps a headcanon that became canon in big STALKER mods, though I'm not very familiar with mods
it mostly stems from their use of western weapons, and cooperation with the un, tho i like to think of them as a western pmc hiring easterners (as well as dudes from the west) to work in the zone
@@dillwavis Their arsenal consist of both NATO and Warsaw Pact weaponry. Only in mods it is only western weapons. Also they are known to attack scientists and military which are actually cooperating with UN. Western scientist buy samples from eggheads and UN peacekeepers guard Zone borders with Military. Why would they be hired by UN?
You can look at Mercenary as an American faction, or not, because both of them are still right at some point. If you don't know, back in 2007, GSC had a struggling problem with the financial while working in the first SOC. Some people already knew that if GSC has enough money, we can actually hear the American voices in the Zone.
@ Yeah but you also said that he‘s the defacto „leader“ but as you also said he‘s actually just a trader and afaik stalker only put up with him because of that. I wouldn‘t say he‘s well liked or anybody looks up to him. One could also make a similar argument for Beard being the „leader“ but he is just a trader aswell and there are also other traders not affiliated to any faction in the zone. They are ressource and work centres for the loners that’s why they gather around them - aswell as being in a rather safe space around the traders.
@@ORBbackfromdeaddunno where you got that he controls what jobs stalkers do and dont, likely from GAMMA/Anomaly considering I've read that line from Wolf or somesuch as well, but Sidorovich is no leader, hes a trader, an informant, a sleazebag that sees any unnamed or unimportant stalker in the zone as just another number or a gopher to do his bidding for a pittance of a reward. People respect him for his connections and ability to get just about anything a stalker might want or need in the zone, doesnt exactly mean hes a reputable guy
the actual UNISG was ISG from clear sky, they were never apart of the UN (from what i remember) in the original. idk where anomaly got the UN stuff from
Despite all of the issues with your information (which seems to be entirely gleaned from non-canon mods) i would absolutely love to know your custom loadout for GAMMA. Your gameplay looks super amazing and would love to play it. Could you make a list or video showing it off? Please?
After nearly 20 years ive finally got to play this on switch of all things lol but I'm loving it and getting into the lore so ill love this video later ❤️
You got so many factions allegiances wrong it made me wince, like for example Renegades are hostile to everyone but Bandits, while UNISG are also hostile to everyone but Mercenaries, same with Sin, only allied with Monolith.
Yeah, for faction allegiances I just used the ones from anomaly, because they differ depending on what game you play. And the renegade one is wrong, that's true.
Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits... None will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet! The World fears The Zones expansion. Join Duty and save the innocent. Stalker, protect the world from The Zone. Join Duty
*Hi I am new to the series I wanna know something why the people just don't leave the zone like in metro the world is destroyed but her in stalker just portion of it*
Because people get drawn by the zone. There's a common saying that goes: "A stalker never leaves the zone". As those who try and get out, die shortly after.
@@ziadnour3998 Some people entered the Zone to escape from criminal past or debts. That is one of the reasons why pseudonyms are so popular. Other stay in the Zone to simply earn money for a family that lives outside. It is also worth mentioing that military is much more willing to let someone enter the Zone. They are much more strict when it comes to leting someone out.

the actual UNISG was ISG from clear sky, they were never apart of the UN (from what i remember) in the original. idk where anomaly got the UN stuff from
Yeah, the ISG was from build 3120 of Clear Sky. I think they were part of the UN, but I'm unsure.
Keep in mind anomaly also does take it's own creative liberties with the STALKER world. While trying to keep it grounded in the lore
Yeah idk if all the lore provided is cannon. Also tell me you're a dutier without telling me you're a dutier
For real what a fan fiction
I perform my duty?
objective explanation of each faction < heavily biased opinion and skimmed reading here and there lol. (didnt know anomaly was cannon...)
this video alone will lead to >20 negative reviews of stalker 2 on steam upon release
irreparable
Despite all of the issues with your information (which seems to be entirely gleaned from non-canon mods) i would absolutely love to know your custom loadout for GAMMA. Your gameplay looks super amazing and would love to play it. Could you make a list or video showing it off? Please?
After nearly 20 years ive finally got to play this on switch of all things lol but I'm loving it and getting into the lore so ill love this video later ❤️
Thank you for this, this video was perfect to scratch my itch before 20day
What modpack are you running of stalker? Is it available for download cause it’s looks very neat.
I use my own custom modpack with over 500 mods installed.
what sorta fan fiction is some of this shit lol
This video screams tourist and its so painful to watch.
Hey bro awesome video, at 18:01 what visual mod are you using to turn the outfit into a real life russian body armor type thingy here? Cheers mate.
I belive it's part of the EXP Edition Complete, you can find it in the STALKER GAMMA discord.
You forgot the Black Slugs, lil bro
Bro, they're literally bandits, but with green clothing. You want me to cover the trader faction as well?
@@ORBbackfromdead the renegades are litterally bandits but a tutorial faction for clearsky
@@ORBbackfromdead Yeah, but what about the Renegades, huh, big bro?
please release your custom modpack. It looks AMAZING!
I want to know what NPC models are you using.
It's part of the EXP Edition Complete.
freedom bandit fo lyfe, anu cheeki breeki iv damki, me daggi.
Indeed. I always supported the bloodsucker humpers and funny bandits.
Krilov was leader of Duty in Clear Sky, he didn't make peace with Freedom. Vorinin, Soc Duty leader did.
Whats your coustom modpack it looks awsome
What mods are you using in your gameplay?
Sidorovich is definitely NOT stalkers leader wtf are you talking about?Hes just a very well provisioned trader and contract provider.
Metro music in the beginning
Great video... But has little-to-none to do with Original trilogy. You should rename it, adding GAMMA/Anomaly lore at the end.
You got so many factions allegiances wrong it made me wince, like for example Renegades are hostile to everyone but Bandits, while UNISG are also hostile to everyone but Mercenaries, same with Sin, only allied with Monolith.
Yeah, for faction allegiances I just used the ones from anomaly, because they differ depending on what game you play. And the renegade one is wrong, that's true.
Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits... None will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet!
The World fears The Zones expansion. Join Duty and save the innocent.
Stalker, protect the world from The Zone. Join Duty
Can anyone tell me what mod is being used for the character models?
what mod are you playing?
Was that metro guitar music?
Yes, it's the main theme of Metro 2033.
where is SSU? c consiousness? great video none the less also some shown in mods like cleaners, kuglavy bandits, slugs
Metro background music....👌❤️
what is they the NPC model his using
*Hi I am new to the series I wanna know something why the people just don't leave the zone like in metro the world is destroyed but her in stalker just portion of it*
Because people get drawn by the zone. There's a common saying that goes: "A stalker never leaves the zone". As those who try and get out, die shortly after.
@@ziadnour3998 Some people entered the Zone to escape from criminal past or debts. That is one of the reasons why pseudonyms are so popular.
Other stay in the Zone to simply earn money for a family that lives outside.
It is also worth mentioing that military is much more willing to let someone enter the Zone. They are much more strict when it comes to leting someone out.
thank goodness I came across this, nice vid
Thanks!
@@ORBbackfromdead all good bro im in my annual stalker phase rn
What modpack is the gameplay from during the video? Looks sick
like he says in the first 10 seconds, his custom modpack.
18:02 song name ???
13:35 "most of this equipment is provided by russia" - what? Did you get your lore from some russian mod?
The video has some misinformation, particularly story elements from fangames in place of cannon og games storylines
can we still smoking in Stalker 2? I love it
60/40 где 60 бред, причем Свободу вообще унизил
UNISG is my favorite
Tourist detected
You should’ve done more research bro like most of this is wrong
Duty Supremacy
Mercenaries FTW.
My favorite faction by far is the Monolith. There's something so awesome about them, a mystique if you will.
What about Spark, IPSF, Moon, Ward etc?
Those are entirely new factions in Stalker 2
now we need the sad lore of the zombies in the zone
Please rename your video to GAMMA lore, many newbies gonna fall for this and it's basicalpy crap
Freedom seems like the best faction
Nah, I'm for Duty. Cleanse the zone!
In the tags in the description of the video, you wrote "stalker 2 heart of chernobyl", please correct "chernobyl" to "chornobyl" because you made a mistake
Love the salt from slavjank purists crying about GAMMA in the comments. Can't wait until Wednesday when their dear awaited made in Ukranda sequel turns out to be a soulless Far Cry clone and they'll an hero en masse. With how these guys treated modders over the past years there will be little interest to mod stalker 2. This community is cringe and soon to be dead.
Lol nice try in ragebait, we have been here since 2007, never needed you tourists, if by any chance the game does not play as the older ones we will just wait for the Eastern modders to fix it, our community will thrive, the gate will be kept, begone
@@PerturaBased I've been playing the original STALKERs since 08, finished SoC unmodded like 8 times, CS like 3 and CoP about 10 (though like 3 times with Gunslinger). I know the series like the back of my hand, I'm just sick and tired of you /v/ermin sperging out every time someone says they enjoy a mod. Good luck finding modders to fix your AAA trash if this is how you're gonna act.
@@RonnieMcSneed lol, I see through your lies tourist, no one who enjoys the OG is defending this tarkov wannabe mod
@@RonnieMcSneed lol hoes mad for UA devs existing lmao
Shit and obvious bait.
No ones mad that using a mod everyone’s calling out his BS because he’s acting like MODDED content is canon and spreading tons of misinformation on the lore your the only one frothing out the mouth raging and crying here 😂
