just bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R shadow of Chernobyl, what mods will improve my game experience as a first time player?
>first time

summer needs to end
Play it vanilla for your first time. There might be a community patch or something to download, but do it vanilla. You'll thank me later.
Also here.

here op, this anon is right
go vanilla to experience everything there is at first (and it wont take long) then go for modding
>>343577597
The problem is that you are doing this to be part of an exclusive club and there are no clearly defined rules. People like the OP can't win, because you can change the goalpost at will. If he had said he'd bought metro, it'd be >metro
>not stalker
If he had said CoP, it'd be
>not vanilla
Meanwhile, starter guides
>needing starter guides
made by people who are supposed to be fans of the game also suggest minor mods to start. Like ZRP.
>>343577457
Yeah, get ZRP, which fixes a lot of bugs and has a bunch of quality of life changes that you can opt out of for a first playthrough. So read the readme part about first timers.

what does any of that shit have to do with what I said
>playing video games for the first time modded

Good to see I'm not the only one who enjoys experiencing a game the way it was to be intended to be played for the first time. I'm big on that "original experience."
>>343577839
Woah, I was just about to start playing too. Thanks for the tips.
>>343579830
Good luck in the Zone, Stalker!

Oh okay. I just thought he might want to experience the vanilla experience with as few CTD bugs as possible.
>>343580349
Yeah and that's fine, but putting all kinds of complete overhaul mods or weapon mods into it for the first time is stupid to me.
>>343580495
I just suggested ZRP. It fixes bugs, and has optional gameplay changes, which for my recently started playthrough, I've turned off.
Here's a bug list. Steam version is the P6 column.

autumn aurora is alright

>I just suggested ZRP
Oh, well that's fine then, and I agree.
>>343580725
