Never has a mod made a game so much better than Oblivion Lost.

If you are to lazy to Google it I give you. Oblivion Lost
That has more information on what the mod is and does to the game. The changes are significant and do make the game better.

Highlights of the mod

1. INTERACTIVE FACTION WARS
2. RANDOM WEATHER
3. NEW WEAPONS
4. FREEPLAY (after you beat the game you can continue playing)
5. BLOWOUTS Occur randomly
   
6. SLEEPING
7. VEHICLES

looks cool
I'll have to check that out

I just have a question. Does it collide with Weather Overhaul and graphical enhancement mods and mini-mods?

It might, but it encompasses all of that anyway, so you wouldn't need Weather Overhaul anymore.

It's great, but I wouldn't recommend it for the first playthrough, it makes the game alot harder.

I would recommend it on the first play through. So you don't get bored and quit forever.

That's fair. I did just that. (Didn't like Vanilla)

So which is better? AMK or Oblivion Lost?

that mod is garbage

it makes the game nearly impossible to finish

Yeh i didnt like it. Too many distractions.
I like the Vanilla Stalker with the mods to fix gameplay.

I grabbed a whole selection of mods and mixed them

A realistic lighting mod, which makes it bullshit dark.
Made the flashlights have longer beams.
Made the AI less ridiculously aware (so you can actually sneak up on someone rather than them see you from miles away.
A mod to make the day night cycle better and the shadows move appropriately.
+ others.

All these made the game awesomely scary and atmospheric.

Also check out the ABC mod if your happy with content changes. Its pretty dam impressive.

Any mod that could increase the ridiculously minuscule inventory weight capacity and/or improve stamina would drastically improve this game.

OL improves your endurance, but I don't think your capacity. I might be wrong.

I just installed Oblivion Lost 2.2 (for 1.0004) and made Weather Overhaul 2.2.2. compatible with it. It's awesome! Makes STALKER have a lot of unexpected action!

OL has some drastic weather changes already, so that's kind of overkill, but as long as they are compatible it's ok. It definitely makes the game much better. Nothing quite says night time like pitch blackness.

Does it make the game more like ES4: Oblivion or is it called Oblivion Lost for some other reason? I would love a mod that made it more like Oblivion with an open world where I can do the main quest if I like or I can just explore and do side quests. I was looking forward to Stalker ever since I read about it back in 2002, but even though I've tried playing it a couple of times I just can't stand it and quit. Far Cry 2 seems to be what I thought Stalker would be (and thus totally awesome), but in FC2 you are in Africa which is not as cool as Chernobyl.

Oblivion Lost was the original suffix for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. No relation to TESIV.

new stalker game get poor reviews, very dissapionting

Your technique is slipping with your grammar. 0/10.

How does this make the game less boring, Demilich? From what the other user said, it just looks like a bunch of weather effects and other graphical enhancements, and very few actual gameplay changes?

The vehicles are the main thing that look interesting.

After having played Oblivion Lost for some time I must say it's a great mod. I'm impressed with how they managed to fix the game so fast compared to other mods that are supposed to fix a game like KotOR 2 Restoration Project which still has not been released after about four years of work. It makes a game that I considered to be the most disappointing game of 2007 and makes it a great and very playable game. STALKER just went from a 2/5 to a 4/5 in my book.

I want to try vanilla STALKER first. What mods fix the prescient AI and shitty graphics(already have Float32 and getting weather overhaul atm)
Oh, and sorry about the necropost.

OK. I too have been playing OL mod for sometime. And I've made some modifications myself. I think it gets about 15 out of 20 things right. It does make the zone a more intense and varied place to be with much longer playability. So as a whole, I like it. BUT : I hate the new blue stalker suits (what?! yuk!!). The new placement of anomolies really pisses me off. I think Kanylos (or whatever) has really gone OVERKILL with the new monsters (Some off them were axed for a good reason- the wildcats/pumas look crap ...and the dwarfs...hahahaha!!!!!). The helicopters and army spawning after you do the mission in Yantar REALLY piss me off - I dont want to carry around an RPG through the bloody game! A little thought and subtlety would have been appreciated with alot of these things. But it's been cranked up to 11.
Anyway - despite all these quibbles, I did enjoy it much more than vanilla.
AMK mod? - nice concept - more true to the Tarkovsky / Strugatsky brothers vision...but shite. Doesn't have OL level changers, which become compulsory after getting used to OL.  And the weapons accuracy  and damage had me uninstalling it very fast in outright frustration.

Far Cry 2?? mmmm.....just finished.....And wow! - A PROPER OPEN WORLD ( NO LEVEL CHANGERS....like was promised originally for stalker....no more 6 bandits spawning directly behind you! )
Just wish I could mod the damage system like STALKER because I'm getting sick off putting 2 clips of ammo into an enemy and they're still alive and getting up.....oh, Come on!! And your buddy mercenary clothes...some off them look more like glam rockstars than hardened mercs. But the games got that ' this was designed for the PS2 and Xbox market' touch to it.

Recommend to get some nice new rookie skins for newbies for whatever version you're playing. And don't touch Faction Wars mod till you been through game at least once...unless you want to meet all the main NPCs dead! Reality Enhancement Mod is good for vanilla. Filefronts got loads of mods and skins and sh*t.
