New Stalker interview

Odin

Carbon Dated and Proud

The crafty critters at Oblivion Lost have translated a russian S.T.A.L.K.E.R. interview done by Gameinator, here's a snibblet:<blockquote>GM: Is it possible to die from alcohol overdose, or will the stalker automatically fall asleep after the n-th bottle?
GSC: Our stalker is a man of true Slavic origin, and therefore cannot die from alcohol overdose. No such dose has been invented (except if he drowns). What will happen if he drinks too much? As in real life - fall asleep.

GM: Will there be a research facility for scientists studying the Zone? If so, will we be able to legally work for it, and come to uncover the mystery of the Zone's creation this way?
GSC: There will be scientists' camps. It will be possible to acquire various devices and ammunition there, trade carried junk, and also get some mission. </blockquote>So we just fall to sleep of too much alcohol, good to know!

I was gonna bash them for making useless stuff like drinking booze, but realised all my favorite games (RPG) have that :).
 
drinking alcohol isn't useless in the game. it is one of the authentic ways to lower your rad count (at least the russians say it worked for low radiation values).

I think it's more of a "no brains, no pains" attitude. If you drink a couple of bottles of Vodka you just don't give a foo about the radiation anymore.

Interesting that Stalkers can't get alcohol poisoning, which is common, even among Slavic people (heck, I knew a Russian who didn't ever touch alcohol, so much for the cliché).

Right on.

Trouble is, someone might take advantage of that situation. And you just might wake up in the woods with no equipment, not knowing where the hell you are...
