That’s what GSC are suggesting with their Quest Contest. There are bunch of rules and stuff over on the competition page, but what it comes down to is this: “The best ideas from the contest may be implemented in the new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game. This said, the developers retain the right to change the quest looks or implementation, while preserving the key author’s idea.” Quest authors will also get the name in the credits. They’re looking for less than a side of A4, so it’s not exactly an insurmountable challenge. Might as well have go, eh? It can’t look bad on your CV, either.
Going to have to give this a go. Cheers for the heads-up!

Entered. Now we play the waiting game.
report
I don’t think it’s make much difference to your CV if you’re an accountant.
report
You’d still be cooler than all the other accountants.
report
Hold on…STALKER 2? I thought we already had 3 of them!
report
The other games basically count as “expandalones”.
report
Or recoup-a-very-long-development-cycle-alones.
(Cynical as that may sound, I think GSC were absolutely right to get as much use out of their tech and experience as they can.)
report
Who made that pretty picture?
report
It’s one of the official wallpapers, I think.
report
It is indeed.
report
I I post something here and now, Will Jim Rossignol reply once more?
report
Unlikely.

What about Kieron?
report
I’ve never had a beautiful salmon reply, the pain is deep.
report
Oh well. Me neither. Yours will have to do a. And this will have to do for you I’m afraid
report
I did once. Keiron responded to a moan I was having at the dismal writing quality of 80′s American Transformers comics. I’m rubbing the framed screen-grab of that conversation under my buttocks as I type this, in fact whenever I reply to anything on RPS.
report
They even replied with a personalised message saying “we’ve received your entry”, I feel so appreciated, it’s like the love my parents never gave me!
Also: Where are the results of the chime contest :(
report
Yeah what’s the deal with that contest anyway?
report
Escort the cameraman that shoots the TV series. Also unlocks an achievement.
report
Totally going to have a go at this.
report
Escort mission with limited time, while enemies shoot at you from roofs……during night!
report
Entered one.
I love it when developers do this kind of thing.
report
Fraudbook? Oh bugger. There goes that then.
report
Eh? I made sure to read the rules twice, and it doesn’t require you to register an account on facebook. Entries are sent to a regular e-mail, with a text attachment of your quest idea.
report
Gonna give this a go as well.
Your quest, to find a toilet in the zone with a working flush.
report
Time limit of 2 days, after which you’ll uncontrollably pebble-dash the inside of your SEVA suit.
report
My quest involves following the girl from the coffee shop home without her noticing. The sub-objectives include climbing through her bedroom window and stealing panties.
report
Coffee Shop? Girls? I hope someone mislabeled your copy of STALKER with one of those Japanese “dating” sims and this isn’t coming from real life experience.
No girls in the Zone. Your “gun polishing” needs will be satisfied by a large mustachioed Ukranian chap who’s been wearing the same rubber suit for six months though. 1000 Rubles.
report
GSC’s own damn fault for naming their game Stalker (was the point of the joke, I would think).
report
Cheap trick to get lots of inspiration! I mean, in the end who can say that it was your idea that was used as fundament for quest xyz? But on the other hand – the fame… and the precious entry in my CV… “supplied a quest for bug-monster Stalker 2″. Priceless…
report
I would like to the sequel starring Sandy Ravage, where is completely beastifies the Zone with a SPAS.
P.
report
Straight up.
report
Cosigned!
report
Hell, we’re halfway there. Half the Zone is already ill-equipped.
report
I submitted “Bring this inventory item to some guy on the other side of the map and come back to me for $$ and XP” but that’s ok if I’m not selected and my quest is not in the game.
report
I think finding the female NPCs in the zone is probably a worthy quest.
report
Agree – it would be famous win if the quest entry involves a female NPC, every player who is familiar with the series would make a point to find and do that quest.
report
@DigitalSignalX
It should be called ‘escape from sausagefest’ ;)
I’m wondering whether Brink might also require such a mission or two also, as it’s looking unrepentantly masculine throughout.
report
Pshaw. Women in the zone? They’re for staying at home, and raising terrifying table-moving psychic daughters.
report
Interesting contest. Now to come up with a good idea…
report
Kill seven rats.
SEVEN.
report
WHAT A TWIST!
report
“kill rat ” quest for the win
report
Strayyyyyyyylokk!!!!
And they’re hamsters obviously.
