Iirc, there are 2 concepts of "The Sin", but i dont really remember which one is real and which is fan made: 1) Members of The Sin are former prisoners that were experimented on by the same Scientists that made most "super-soldier" mutants. When the Zone appeared, they instantly started viewing it as a Godly Entity that they have to worship. Apparently, because they were victims of forced experiments, they had diffirent visible (or not) mutations, maybe like claw instead of wrist, extended arm like "Излом" has, maybe they could be shorter or taller than regular stalkers and etc. 2) The Sin members also known as "Dark Stalkers" were former locals that lived around CNPP before the Zone became a thing. Other details doesn't really differ here, they became religious cult. Im not sure but i think they also were friendly to mutants, or at least mutated local animals and civilians. Afaik they were removed because GSC already invented Monolith, so another faction of Zealots wasn't to their liking. Imo they could fit into Stalker 2 2011 really well, when Monolith as a faction collapsed, The Sin could easily take over their positions near North of the Zone, and have a some kind of war with Pharmalogists faction, perhaps with all scientist and State-funded factions. I'd also love to have Dark Stalker or Monolith-Zealot companion/follower that is similiar to Marcus supermutant from Fallout.
@@mrzirak792 from talking with them while playing as monolith in anomaly it seems they are of tge same "religion" with the main ideological difference being that monolith just wants to purge the zone and defend it from invaders while sin wants to spread the zone to the rest of the world. I think that would be a cool dynamic to explore in Stalker 2. Like adding importance to the military bc they have to keep sin fanatics who are escaping the zone and attacking surrounding countries, maybe this causes a rift with monolith who thinks they attracting too much attention and a schism occurs with monolith dismantling them and pushing them more underground. It'd be cool if all the factions had to watch out for covert sin operatives disguising themselves and sneaking into bases to blow everyone up with an explosive vest. Like youd just notice a guy with a scarred face looking out of place and he starts unloading on everyone if you dont catch him in time.
The only thing I didn't like in anomaly was Sin being monolith's young brother. I liked the Sin in Legend Returns and Lost Alpha, as they are like the comment above said, experiments.
I doubt the Sin are meant to be Satanists, given that they literally have an Orthodox Cross as a symbol. They are probably supposed to be Christian extremists of sorts.
Hi!!! I am a Russian person who is fond of this group. I have read many books on this faction and I can say that there is no clear lore for this grouping anywhere. Some say that these are experiments of O-consciousness, some claim that these are people who have not evacuated since the Chernobyl accident (I treat the 2nd theory most of all as a canon). So, Sin are Satanists, yes, but they worship not Satan or demons, but the Zone itself (Rather because it helped the participants of "Sin" to survive). The cross on their emblem is most likely not designated for the worship of Jesus and others, but simply as a sign of the deity. Because in books, if you tell representatives of "Sin" that you are a believer, it increases your chances of survival when meeting them. A good rest of your time is a day.
They are not Satanists, but they are still a group of Zealotious Cultists that Worship the Zone, unclear in what way, but they definitely view it as Living Entity, so as former local Christians thry could view it as some Godly Event🤔
I'd say these folks are more like paganists, occultist.. and cross is related to Christianity but it's rather orthodox church. Also their leader is called Chornobog, one of the god of slovanic pagan pantheon
I think they should add the shower faction. That would most definitely change the politics of the zone
Technically those are the sciencenetists
I heard that Sin is like mutated things or whatever. Like super soldiers but that was some silly stalker anomaly wiki thing

That sin patch is fan made. The Devs never made a sin patch.
