Its really fun, you can join factions that you couldn't before, like the military and monolith, its makes it pretty epic Yeah, i don’t know if someone already posted this, but I have the faction commander mod installed, the one that gives you “All out Faction Warfare”, and it hasn’t caused me a single crash.

I played Complete first, then a few weeks later when I realised everyone was claiming Oblivion to be the best I removed Complete and installed Oblivion Lost 2.2 in its place. And though many would disagree, I have to say that OL makes the game unbeleivably ugly for a mod that claims to make the game better. And the mutants are messed up, I mean I tried to play from the start in the Cordon but whereever I went there was those hideously-skinned and awkwardly moving cats attacking me; it all seemed a bit stupid. I played OL for just over half an hour before saying "screw this, I'm gonna go play Clear Sky". @UK_John

Which is a brillaint graphic/bug/AI and more overhaul that keeps away from the story, etc. Meaning no change of spawns no change to run and gun and no change to difficulty - which so many mods do! Oh, if only mods we made modular instead of humongous!!! You never mention STALKER SoC mod ‘Complete 2009′!!!

They hired a proffesional narrator who did voice-over for the main characters, leaving russian in background. This actually added some extra charm into the game (since the man - don't remember his name - usually is doing voice-over for movies).

I bought the game through the Valve sale right around Christmas, and never even installed it, :P As much as I love Far Cry 2's simplicity, I'm really enjoying the gameplay of Clear Sky... it almost feels like an RPG to me, with all the "quests" / tasks, and locating all the stashes. I'm finding myself obsessively tracking down all the stashes in an area before moving on, and it's great fun for me, kind of like an easter egg hunt or something. I haven't had this much fun in a game since L4D first came out, and the original Crysis before that. Thanks again Jim!

You may be able to check your message log and PDA entries in your PDA to get the gist of what was a particular message said. For STALKER SoC there's an InGameCC mod that adds closed captioning for everything, including some sound effects if you want that old-school Batman comic vibe. <b>iDeal</b>, glad to hear that you resolved your problem. I haven't tried using SMM to auto-merge complex mods before, but I might try it out. I had a look at OGSM and Enhanced with an eye towards a manual merge and while there are a ton of files to compare, they're actually pretty similar (not surprising given RemCo both translated OGSM and built CS Enhanced). I'm guessing RemCo used a lot of OGSM in making Enhanced. noom, I’m not aware of any CS-specific fix for the lack of subtitles in some circumstances, so the Russian audio mod can be a pain on a first playthrough.

Kind of annoying missing out on plot points this way, and I can't seem to find a full subtitles mod nor see any ingame options to enable them. Anybody know a fix..?
