S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (series)/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fridge Horror: In the Bloodsucker Village in So C a small shrine is set up, with a fire in the middle and some dead stalkers and heads on sticks scattered around. The thing is that Stalkers don't stay long in that village, much less do anything more than to tell people to avoid it. Which only lets one possible builder open.
  • Fridge Brilliance: the stashes. When you first start playing the game and find PDAs pointing you to loot containers on the bodies of people you just filled with lead, it seems like a very gamey mechanism to get you to trek around and provide you with progressively better gear. After all, why wouldn't that guy have all that handy stuff on him ? Then as the game goes on, you start getting overloaded with ammo that you're not using right now but might need later, guns and armor that are too nice to just sell (esp. in the first game where you can't repair them), med supplies that you'd be happy to have back after a heavy fight empties your stocks... and that's when you start stashing stuff all over the place like a crazed squirrel yourself, just in case. Congratulations, you're like a real stalker now !
