What choices do you mean? I didn't notice anything. I played it on the hardest difficulty using a mods that make the game more realistic, and I could take out entire military bases by myself without too much trouble.

I didn't pick this name for no reason, you know. Some tutorial popup must have explained that but I forgot. There doesn't seem to be an in-game key reference anywhere.

If there's one thing that needs adjusting, it's the controls. It simply won't do that attacking and moving are done with the same mouse button, because every time you miss your click you start moving instead. It's not possible to customize the controls in any way.

I don't see why a CRPG would need to have such a system.

I don't mean that the rules have to come from PnP, I mean the rules are explicit and clearly laid out. There is no "rule system" in a game like Half-Life 2 the same way there is in BG II.

Yes, but I mean something like D&D or SPECIAL. STALKER has its rules too, like any other game, but they're "invisible."

JRPGs, despite their name, are actually not RPGs. Probably there are exceptions, but that's the rule of thumb. Here's a definition of a roleplaying game: Furthermore: That is how I define a roleplaying game. Of course, virtually any CRPG will fall short of the ideal because of the...

I bought it from Steam too, around the same time you did. I played it back when it was released, but my system wasn't good and I didn't like the game too much. This time I liked it more, though I did play it with Stalker Complete 2009 which enhances the graphics and does some other stuff. Now I...

People who fabricate instances of racism are like the boy who cried wolf.

Since when? Christianity continues to decline in Europe, whereas Islam's influence keeps increasing. If racism really was a problem, people wouldn't feel the need to constantly fabricate and make up instances of "racism" (the Resident Evil 5 debacle for example). And this statement would...

You must be confusing the US with the Islamic world. Lots of countries were underdeveloped 50 years ago, but that doesn't mean they're all full of insane fanatics. Saudi Arabia isn't the way it is because 50 years ago they were goat farmers or whatever.

Which is true. Perhaps you made the mistake of taking my statement absolutely 100% literally.

I'm not. I never hear about anyone giving two shits about the aforementioned issues, yet people can't stop ranting about glass ceilings and other shadowy conspiracies. Is it supposed to be news to me? I don't understand what you're talking about.

Again, if all feminists can do is bitch about trivial and imaginary issues, it's clear that no real problems exist. At least as far as they're concerned. Problems like forced marriages, genital mutilation and honor killings receive little if any attention from feminists, since going after...

Nobody claimed the story is supposed to be deep and throught-provoking, and it isn't the game's fault if you couldn't understand it. They released commercial, stand-alone versions of CS and DoD, but anyone who had Half-Life could and still can freely play them. I was quite underwhelmed by...
