Each class in its own respects all relates to the overall difficulty a player may experience in the main play through as each one has its own strengths and it's own weaknesses.īig, heavily equipped soldier skilled in handling heavy and assault class weaponry. MISERY incorporates three new classes that add a unique element of gameplay in the main storyline.

In-depth maintenance system for weapons and armor allowing the player to repair their own gear with the numerous repair items in the mod.

Virtually all items cost considerably more money and quests provide far less in the way of reward money.

It even adds a variety of NPC professions (like Hunters).

Unique version of Massive Simulation Overhaul (MSO) that makes NPC behavior more challenging and diverse.

3GB RAM enabled for system engine (prevents crashes on lower-end PCs).

Nightvision and headlamp have to be powered with special UPD power supplies which in turn must be recharged with battery packs or by repair merchants for a steep price.

Headlamp is no longer default equipment and has to be purchased or scavenged off of corpses, however, a handheld flashlight is now included with all classes.

Your flashlight does not illuminate your weapon anymore (only when reloading and sprinting), which makes it easier for your eyes to focus on your surroundings in low-light conditions.

This effect varies depending on the caliber fired and your choice of USS class.

New screen shake effects when firing a weapon (resembling recoil shock/shake effects).

First-person perspective by default, but can change to third-person perspective possible with a single button.

Corpses and dead animals can be dragged (“Shift” + “Use” key).

Actor feels more alive thanks to various sound and movement tweaks, general improvements to interaction during firefights as well as the ability to use consumables and other equipment.

Actor belongs to “Ukrainian Special Services (USS)” and not “Free Stalkers”.

People, mutants, and birds are ripped apart if not in shelter during emissions.

The implication of this is clear: the player is forced to re-think their habits and get used to new and demanding conditions of the Zone as envisaged by MISERY developers. This survival-driven aspect is particularly explicit in MISERY: you only have limited resources at your disposal and have to deal with various threats when you’re at your weakest and most vulnerable. Our goal is to throw the player into a miserable environment and give them only one objective: to survive. Inspired by movies like The Road and I Am Legend, as well as the game Metro 2033, MISERY concept-wise, was meant to provide a highly challenging experience with a unique setting and atmosphere. MISERY is a mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat that aims to enhance the game in various aspects, most importantly texture quality, difficulty, new items, and in-game mechanics.
