---QUOTATION--- Normally (as it was intended), the guy would disappear before you could interact with him, finally he does that since the 3rd patch came out in august 2014. So it does not matter what he has in his profile, it could have "lol" or "da*uq", since player should not be able to see it. But yea, I get what you mean. ---END QUOTATION---
Alright then, let's look at what's on the chopping block here.
Yes I remember in an early patch actually getting to this NPC after he'd been the victim of a blowout and popped his hollow trenchcoat.
Can't remember what he had in his pockets (I vaguely remember the game CTDing when I tried), had to waste a perfectly good Mil garrison to do it too.
As far as LA goes - whether it's a WIP or not - what will attract the player's attention the most? A pack of blind dogs running around an electro cluster, a rat infested shed with a Stubby in it, or the mysterious character with the field glasses on yonder rooftop, apparently being sanctioned by the Military?
The player is going to go all out to gain data that improves his/her playing experience, deepens the plot, maybe, and even try and sneak up from behind.
This is after all STALKER Dez; expecting the player to "not be able" to divine these infonuggets just ain't realistic. It's part of the game, ANY GAME, to improve your intel, resources, capabilities, mobility, resistance and any of another dozen dimensional factors in the polymatrix of your character.
To drop a bombshell like "He isn't Sin" just implodes your plot and downgrades your creation unnecessarily. For all we know Sin work for the 'enlightered'.
GG, their position is painted as such that they were so hard done by that they might have turned against their race.
So how are you going to sort this out? Can any of us here help you do this?
Exploiting 1.4007 DC as best as I can. I will NEVER, EVER use a "cheat pack" - a game lives or dies on its gameboard. Best of luck, stalker...

For what it's worth, I think the big reveal is pretty stupid. The implementation of the guy tracking you and being a mysterious figure (I notice he's referred to as "gman" in game files, which I like) is pretty neat, but when I got to the ending I was pretty stupefied.
What makes the Zone great, at least in SoC, was that you would probably never truly understand what the hell was going on. You got a brief glimpse of it in the true ending, but the Zone is just this huge monolithic entity that just is, and it completely and utterly baffles the world. Nobody knows what it is, nobody knows why it is, it just is and everything science thought it knew is turned completely on its head.
To find out it was the illuminati or whatever was just terrible. |

Weird top secret stuff from the Cold War era or before is proof positive that there doesn't need to be some secret elite behind something like the C-Con. |
