Recently bought ClearSky a week ago, beat it in about 5 days.  (Which is a record long time considering how long it was for me)  If any other stalker players/fans would help enlighten me on a few things, because the story left me a bit confused...  because I don't see the point in arsing myself with a forum registration on their site just for a few questions.  And since this is a nuclear postapo community I figure most people have at least heard of Stalker .

1.  What happened to you at the end of ClearSky?  That huge emission.  It never clarifies whether "YOU" (your character) died.  Just that everyone else did.

2.  Are you able to have companions on any of the series?  I remember a vid where you had a couple guys go down in this tunnel with you, with (after reading some youtube comments and description of vid) were special characters you could choose.  I think it was call of pripyat though.

3.  What is the point of joining a faction and destroying the other?  Besides loots from beating them?  There seems to be no real point.

4.  those guys (the scientists) at the beginning of ClearSky, they were never explained in the game, are they ever explained?

5.  After playing Clearsky, seeing as its a prequal to Chernobyl, yet its the second in the series, which one should I buy next to get the story and such correctly?

Thats about all, feel free to use the thread to ask your own questions about the series as well.

Well I played every stalker game and I can glady say its awesome . I still remember those horrible X-Labs from stalker 1. But yes you can get followers in Prypyat while you tavel through that tunnel you got with a fat guy and some military guy you get from the scientists.You can get both of them or just the fatty.But first you gotta make some missions for scientists to get the closed respiratory suit or something like that.In Clear Sky and in Prypyat there is a background story for them .You can usually find more info when you aquarie PDA's and readding the info about them.Joining a faction is another cool thing and feature.This gives you possibiliets like getting better equipment or just some shit stuff to sell to get some cash for upgrades and other stuff. You should always keep and eye for Bloodsukers in Prypyat if you played it. Thats all I got to say

P.S All the stalker games have alternative endings thus forcing the player to play the game again.

So your actions change this then?  I joined Duty and totally destroyed freedom within 20 minutes,(my first playthrough i had it on novice :C) and at the end of the game an emission fucked everything up.  So in theory, if I joined freedom and fucked up Duty, there would be no Emission disaster?

Or are the endings just random?

Eeach action you do influence the ending.

Dunno either. In "Shadow of Chernobyl" I've never decided to join the Freedom or the Duty. Simply, being a loner gives you more opportunities.
But maybe because of quests?

One hint for stalker shadow of chernobyl. If you meet controller.Just stay as much close as you can to him.That way his attack wont have any effect against you. I don't remember good if this works for others too.But it works great for stalker soc. Also in stalker soc joining faction's didn't have any impact on game or story.Just allowed you to gain some extra cash armor and some weapons.

[Makarov]

to kill da controler you need to get close to him and then stab his fucking face with a knife [i love that]

Anyway Joining to Factions allows you to get some special items for finishing their oponent [Ex. as playing on Freedom and geting your hands to duty base you will get Freedom Exoskeleton/ More items in shop]

Companions in All stalker series are...Unable? you can get them to follow only on quests so i dont count is as it

About Mercenary Scar...he dont die on end but Clear Sky faction do, He gets into hands of monolith and goes to Brainwash, You can find him in Call of Pripat in one place [the dudes near bandit outpost in Janov]

Anymore questions ask :] i finished STALKER series on all modes [novice - master] also with mods

You don't know, finish the last game to get some clues

2.  Are you able to have companions on any of the series?  I remember a vid where you had a couple guys go down in this tunnel with you, with (after reading some youtube comments and description of vid) were special characters you could choose.  I think it was call of pripyat though.

Only scripted guys where you're part of an action or quest ( like escorting scientist in first game )

3.  What is the point of joining a faction and destroying the other?  Besides loots from beating them?  There seems to be no real point.

Fun

4.  those guys (the scientists) at the beginning of ClearSky, they were never explained in the game, are they ever explained?

Clear Sky faction ceases to exist after the ending of CS IIRC.
5.  After playing Clearsky, seeing as its a prequal to Chernobyl, yet its the second in the series, which one should I buy next to get the story and such correctly?

Definetly the first game, its a little buggy, but has great gameplay and atmosphere

SoC>CoP>CS

BTW, if you do by chance get SoC, and wanna really make the game better, download the Super Mod Pack 2.4...Its amazing.

Stalker 2 is going to arive at the end of 2011.
