    I think the loners are more organized than they're given credit for. The evidence is in the characters and how other factions treat them. Sidorivich, Barkeep, and Beard all work towards making sure the *business* of the zone runs smoothly being hubs for stalkers to rest, connect, and purchase items smuggled from outside. And these areas attract those with specializationa in other fields, guides, bodyguards, mutant hunters, information brokers, doctors, technicians, etc. etc. And they've shown they can organize and cooperate qhen required. They're well enough vital to the zone that freedom and duty both respected the neutral ground of Yanov station. If they were to be given a voice to their overarching goal I'd have to say it's simply to make the best out of the zone that they can and explore it as fully as possible for incredible wealth and fame devoid of petty politics or grand aspirations.

      I agree with what you are saying about Loners. I guess from a logical stand point its hard to collectively group them together because every loner has a different goal. Yes, they come together out of neccessicity sometimes and have locations where they gather but they aren't built to be a faction exactly. Loner should be a title I think. I always thought that everyone was referring to loners a designation for who they are since they cant be indentified in any other way in terms of the zone.

      They did work and no one can dispute that, regardless of how you feel about them. They're in STALKER anomaly if you want to check that out, but canonically they're a dead faction that merged into other factions, or was brainwashed by monolith. I don't think they'll retcon that, but hey, it would be cool if they did.

    If I were to be on desth row or serving anlife sentence, I'd most definitely seek refuge in The Zone. I'm not even trying to sound though or anything but, I'd rather take my chances on the outskirts of The Zone. Fighting off boars and dogs seems way easier and less stressful than fighting off sexually frustrated men. I'd rather explore some desolate shit holes than having my shit hole explored. Most bandits hang around the outskirts of The Zone for a reason, they're not equipped for what lies ahead, it's still dangerous af but avoiding the military and irasdiated areas is doable. The worst part of it would be the lack of females in the Zone but it's still better than the "women" in jail, and Military shoots on sight so no tortureous butt play in The Zone.

    I put Ecologists up in A tier because every game relies heavily on their assistance and they're the best shot any of us would realistically have if the Zone were real to getting a valid permit to enter and exit the Zone at will and get our hands on the best equipment. Remember that Strelok canonically joins up with the Ecologists and becomes a "Chief Scientific Consultant" after the end of Call of Pripyat, along with a stated giant expansion of the Ecologist's role in the future STALKER games due to heavy government interest and funding into the Zone.

  • @RB-83
    @RB-83 Рік тому +33

    I've always wondered, how do outsiders view the zone? Like, do they know about there being different factions like Freedom, Duty and Monolith? Do people who leave the zone get arrested or do they go home and spread stories and news about what it's like, do news crews manage to get in and do documentaries? Are there rich kids who are able to buy anomalies or get them for their birthdays? I'd love the idea of the Stalker Movie having an in universe equivalent as well!

      I imagine it's similar to Roadside Picnic or the Stalker movie
      People know the Zone exists, but have no clue what's inside it, and the richer-ends of society enjoy profiting off of Artifacts that are sold to them
      As for those who were once in the Zone and left, honestly I think that's quite a rarity. If you think about the amount of security around the zone, and how often it's being guarded, leaving the Zone is probably infinitely more dangerous than just staying there.
      Again, I imagine a stalker's life outside the Zone is like that from the movie. A stalker feels at ease and at home in the Zone, while being in the outside world feels grey and demoralizing

      There is one main syndicate. Other groups are ordinary mercenaries that work for everybody who's ready to pay them, but the main one (from dead city) is well organised and work for single entity or corporation. In CoP it's kinda ambigious who they are, but for me looks like they are part of the Dead City Syndicate

  • @woodlanditguy2951
    @woodlanditguy2951 Рік тому +5

    The problem with the Monolith trying to eliminate all negative emotions from the world using "The Zone" is that there isn't any such thing as negative emotions, only emotions used incorrectly.
    Happy is an emotion and can generally be considered good, but what if you are happy that something awful happened? Is it still positive then?
    Anger is considered a negative emotion but what if you are angry at something evil? It's generally considered positive for someone to be angry that a loved one died in a car accident or something of that nature.
    Because of this fallacy, "The Zone" continues to become more and more destructive. The C-Consciousness at its fundamental root is flawed and can't make anything better.
    This is why the STALKER storyline is so good. Super well thought out and such a fun and original idea for a sci-fi / horror storyline.

    I disagree with most of this list. Clear sky obviously fails in the first game and is a tiny faction that really has very little influence over the zone, getting very close to the monolith but being helplessly outgunned in every way and not preparing for something as basic as an emission which they seem to study. To me they obviously fail, but that is the point of them being a tragic faction. So they'd be like a B or an A. I like clear sky as a faction but the entire point of them is that they are scrappy and weak and in over their head. Monolith is S-Tier as they still have ultimate control over the zone, despite almost no influence in the outer zone area, and control the main areas which is something even the military can't do. I agree the military is pretty low, but not a D tier as they actually do a good job fighting and work with other groups in the zone, and in the later games such as Pripyat ultimately work with Strelok to figure out the secrets of the zone. So to me they're more like a C or a B as they suck at their jobs but through sheer brute force and by reassessing their tactics ultimately win. Similarly the ecologists are an S-tier because, with Strelok and other factions end up changing the zone and getting to the root cause of the faction, being successful in both studying the zone and using all the factions except monolith (even mercenaries and to some extent bandits) to accomplish their goals. They can go so far as to call in military air strikes or send in waves of duty soldiers to fight for them when they need to. and hire mercenaries and other groups to work for them, using strelok and all the heavy hitters to accomplish their goals in the zone. In the end, they're hte only one's with any hope of countering the C-Consciousness, without them basically nothing from understanding artefacts, to buying them, to studying things or figuring out emissions, zombies etc. would be possible.
    Freedom is an A, as they do a good job fighting, but don't really accomplish much outside of this, growing in power as a faction but not really achieving anything major outside from some territory. Also they do capture a few military outposts. Loners are weird as they seemingly have no real organization, but they make up a bulk of the members of the zone and Beard, Sidorivich, Barkeep and so on make operations in the zone possible. Their information and resources make the ability for anyone outside of the military to operate in the zone possible. So while they may not necessarily achieve everything themselves, they do facilitate other groups better than you might think, putting them at a B or an A. Bandits to me are at C level as, they don't really fight all that well or capture much territory, but due to sheer persistence and numbers succeed. The Renegades are at a D for me as, unlike bandits they are nearly completely wiped out early in Clear sky and so basically fail instantly despite having basically the same goals. As far as Duty goes, I heavily disagree, as with less resources than the military, they manage to accomplish the same goals better, penetrating far deeper in to the zone and making it to final parts of the zone, notably with Strelok and others. They facilitate just about every major operation in the game, defending ecologists, providing refuge for free stalkers like Strelok or others who make a real difference, and Duty might not actually achieve most of their goals themselves, but they do facilitate everyone else achieving them, sort of being an anti-ecologist in that they don't use other factions but promote them, defending both loners and ecologists, as well as Clear sky, taking on the mantle of protecting all of them. The day-to-day grind of killing bandits, mercenaries, rogue stalker groups like Freedom and so on is all accomplished by Duty, as well as killing mutants, charting out the zone, defending barrier outposts, and recruiting people. Duty unlike the military recruits normal people and stalkers in to their ranks and uplifts them by giving them weapons, a safe haven, supplies and so on, being both a provider and guardian, and also settles disputes between groups, allowing others to come to the zone at all. They have the same goals of the military or ecologists generally, but do a much better job at the military at it. Still, they individually don't have much influence over the zone's problems itself, and are more of a reaction to the zone than a solution for it, but when it comes to containment do a good job, so they get an A for me. None of the actions of groups like strelok would be possible without them defending the bar and other regions of the zone, so they are the clear facilitators here, their quirks outside.
    Mercenaries are the only true wild card, as while they are extremely well equipped and armed, they don't seem to have any real goal and are really a bunch of different groups. They seem like they'd be the clear winners as they have the most resources given that it's a bunch of outside financers backing them in the zone, but with no real direction or understanding of the zone or even clear organization, they fall apart quickly. They have a lot of weapons and gucci stuff, but no direction leads to them just aimlessly wandering around. Many of them even just end up joining bandits. So they end up being a C in that fight well, but don't take over the zone. Duty and loners are a faction that succeed by sheer grit, where as mercenaries succeed through sheer money. In a way, it's a good explanation as to why some rich foreign military doesn't just come in and wipe everything out and take over; they just don't know how, and the closely guarded secrets of the zones are only known by it's inhabitants. Some outside foreign person is simply beat by locals who have the inside knowledge of what's going on, just like in real life with Chernobyl. The fact the zone is so secretive is why the mercenaries lose; all firepower, no direction or knowledge. But individually they're A or S-Tier as they make tons of money getting to explore the zone and fight people.

    @Wesley-1776 2 місяці тому

    I’ll be honest. I think Duty are held back my lack of understanding of the higher threats of the zone.
    They seem to do a good job of containing the more mundane threats. I mean, say you are a random stalker, you have no understanding of the C-CON. noshphere. Or even how the Zone works. But you do know that these murders and rapists are running a mock, with crime bosses slowly gaining power, that these mutants with powers that, if they got out into the world, would cause havoc in Eastern Europe and maybe even the world, and artifacts, that while some are just purely useful for dealing with radiation sickness or cancer, others could be weaponized in the wrong hands. Plus their colors seem to indicate a strong Ukrainian nationalist stance explaining their dislike for the Mercs, especially for the foreign or NATO backed groups.
    All in all, against these more immediate mundane threats, Duty is doing gods work to help protect the world. But they aren’t scientists, they aren’t clear sky or Strelok. They don’t have the knowledge or real means to effect change on the underlying problems of the Zone, so saying they aren’t achieving their goals just because they haven’t deleted the zone from existence feels kinda unfavorable.

    • @XTRAX-uj3nf
      @XTRAX-uj3nf 2 місяці тому

      While it is true that Duty may lack the scientific knowledge and expertise of groups like Clear Sky or individuals like Strelok, dismissing their effectiveness based on this premise alone would be unfair. Duty's primary focus is on maintaining order and security in the Zone, which they have been relatively successful at achieving. Their emphasis on eliminating immediate threats like criminals, mutants, and dangerous artifacts has helped in keeping the Zone somewhat under control and preventing widespread chaos.
      Furthermore, expecting Duty to possess the same level of scientific understanding as other factions is unreasonable, as each group in the Zone plays a different role based on their strengths and priorities. Duty's commitment to protecting innocent lives and maintaining stability should not be undervalued simply because they are not experts in scientific research or anomaly studies. In essence, while their lack of in-depth knowledge may limit their ability to address certain aspects of the Zone, it does not diminish the crucial role they play in safeguarding the inhabitants and preventing widespread catastrophe.
