Hmmm... *wonders* the weight problem again? I have a few pointers for that, altho I must admit that I found the Complete 2009 mod an absolute must (Id not go for it since youre requited to start a new game) enemies tosses nades, you have a sleepingbag, and you have 10 kg more on your carry limit, (altho 2 of them goes to the sleepingbag)
So... Instead I wanna give you a few helpful pointers if youd like, they are fairly standard, so I hope you are not offended by them.
tip 1) ALL stalkers buy and sell items, as long as you dont have your weapons raised, and they are natural or better, whenever you can, sell your junk to them, think of themas random stores, itll help you greatly with you weight problem.
tip 2) Dont pick up all the guns that you come across, thier selling price is so bad that it is often not worth it at all, same goes for ammo, only focus on the ammo you need. any excess weight is just not very effective.
tip3) unless it is a quest item, never have more then 1 armor on you, armors are extremely heavy and sluggy (hint: but if you want some more weight limit there is a turist suitin the attic of the militeryoutpost near thestarting village, Id advise a scope before going to dance with the army, its light, has no protection but when lugging alot around for a trader it is great)
tip3) Medpacks, bandages and antirad, are your mainconcern, stop up on them when you can, and when you travel, always have food for 3 days (never more, youll find food often, but sucks to die from hunger)
tip4) that minimap is going to save your life when you get used to it, it shows all enemies in a visual aria, and belive me youre going to need all the help you can get later on.
tip5) weaponloadout: 2 rifles and no sidearm seems to be the best way to go, any more and you will be bogged down sadly, the only way to alter this is to alter the weight limit, but in honesty you will rarely require an arsinal, just 1 good short-medium range rifle (I prefer the g36) and a long range precicion rifle (the vss vin is a very good light sniper, both found in army warehouse, and can be had pretty easy without fighting, in secure area). as long as they are maintained you are good to go.
You know what? come to think of it I would download STALKER COmplete 2009 if I were you, it doessnt change the general feel of the game, it makes it prettier (nevermind that, just keep the settings on what you have now) but adds 10 kg, you can drop the bag if you dont want to sleep, it has no sideeffects, but just remembered that in the core game noone can repair weapons or armor. (Was planned in the game but was taken out by some dumb reason, the code is still in the vanilla game, just not activated)
that "no repair" thing really is bothersome -.- did not matter in the virst few versions of the game (first few patches) since armor degeneration was not implemented, and weapon degeneration was slower.
