I’ve spent the past week or so modding STALKER Anomaly the oldschool way (making a compatible mod manager work with it on Linux Mint has been less of a nightmare than sorting out compatibilities) with the intention of making a pacifistic run more rewarding and enjoyable. It has been less successful than I would have hoped, many of the artifact and task mods just aren’t what I’m looking for and roleplaying as an ecologist might just be a boring experience at its core. I want Roadside Picnic: The Game rather than “Tarkov but single player and free” like the rest of the modding community seems to want.

I have a lot of feelings about killing people innazone and would prefer to keep that to a bare minimum you know?
