S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lore - Introduction to Faction Relations

Attention Stalkers, new video is online

Yeah but where does Redrick Schuhart fit into this?

Love your content is there any chance we will get any more campfire tales or possibly uncle coins adventures

Thank you for all your wonderful content. It's greatly appreciated by all of your many fans.

You could have added the cut factions as well

In gamma Mercs have English lines from Tarkov and as a merc main it’s a breath of fresh air, the first time my guy yelled I’m fucking dead guys right before bleeding out cracks me up

I always thought freedom and bandits where cool with each other

As always, a great and informative (unbiased as well) video about the factions in the zone. Although I'm interested if is it possible to download the beautiful faction chart you've made. Thanks, and also, thanks for the great video! Good hunting stalker.

what about sin? i mean i know their not seen in-game but i would of loved to hear about sin but i'm glad you did add the renegades.

What I find the most interesting are the Mercenaries as they seem to be a faction but with various subgroups, same as the loners. Anyways, another awesome video Dugout. 👌

actually freedom is ok with the bandits

A great video as ever

It's c-consciousness or sea-conciousness ??

Ecologists moment (I have been utterly destroyed by 5 waves of zombies)

freedom is nutrual with bandits

Good stuff,man.

Love listening to your videos while doing my uni work, you go really in depth and you write your scripts well

Great video!

Interestingly enough, in SoC, Freedom is hostile to the Scientist faction even though they never seem to cross each other's paths.

Many years into the trilogy, yet I found this narration is so well put together so I actually enjoyed this video very much.

Very nice topic and very nice chart ! Btw, as I recall, duty was founded by ex ukranian soliders that went in expeditions deep within the zone, maybe this is why the military is neutral to duty. I am not sure if my information is cannon or some spinoff from a mod.

being a freedomer is so obviously the better choice.

id rather have information everyone could share with each other all over the world rather then hording it and handing it to authorities like a little piggy

I respect for soundtrack from Raidophobia 👊

what song you used in the intro

Although I've been through STALKER several times and am well acquainted with the factions, I've really liked this short introduction.

E

So clear sky is smarter and not brain washed version of monolith? Cool

I didnt even know faction relations were missing from your vids. Thanks once again dude.

Great music choice with Wasteland I

Average Stalker: "So you're purposefully making little to no progress so you can constantly collect a stream Government funding?"

Ecologists: "First of all....lower your voice..."

Wake up baby, Dugout posted

"Not all the freedomers smoke weed"
HERECY!!

"not all freedomers smoke weed" that shit got me laughing

the diagram should have all the factions in a circle, and have lines connect them.
also you could have one faction in the center and the other around it in a circle connected by radiant lines, but you need a different diagram for each faction.

Good vid. I think a lot of people get caught up in the story of mods and don't know the official content. A lot of my buddies were convinced Freedom was friendly to Bandits and Mercs, but that's simply not the case.

I agree with what you said "Foreward" part of the video, I cringe when newcomers in places like discord complain that Barman and Sid will give bounties on some stalkers as if they are a faction leaders trying to kill its own "faction members" or as if freindly mercs are a bug or something.
Also CS have the dumbest patch and colours but it is my favorite facton to play as because of their goals.

When the stalker 2 release

One thing I always found odd is how in SoC Freedom and Ecologists are hostile to each other but neutral in all other games. Maybe something did happen to explain this but it just seemed they were set to hostile either by mistake or it just wasn't thought out, and changed in the next two entries. Know anything about that? Ecologists have some relation to Millitary but you'd think getting ecologists to work with you would help Freedoms goal.

Ngl, the faction relations in call of pripyat are just straight up stupid

Clear sky is like my father, they left after the start of the story

Maaa! New lore vid dropped...

Lol not every freedomer smokes weed

And I'm here hoping to see the Final Day faction in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

Clear Sky is always my favorite faction, it's sad that they're gone
At least Novikov is alive

Wasteland I enjoyers

Monolith: shoot everything that moves 😎👍

I'm always so happy to see you upload, you always seem to drop a video as I'm having my morning coffee before work, great way to start the day.
Loved this explanation, too. I always loved the dynamic relations between factions in the games. Like how one of the first missions that Sydorovich gives you is to kill a fellow stalker who is completely neutral to you. Makes you think about who your friends really are in the zone.

Great video, brother!

Can't wait to see how the relations between the factions will change with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

Keep up the great work, don't let anything stop your ambitions.

These videos are excellent! It does not only intrigue new stalkers to start playing the trilogy but also provides veteran stalkers new angles and knowledge of the lore in Stalker. You're great at this; thank you for making them!
