To any S.T.A.L.K.E.R fans,
I'm planning on buiding a S.T.A.L.K.E.R loadout this fall since it is my all time favorite FPS, and would like some opinions. First up is what faction and gear should I go for? I've already ruled out the military since that is the standard loadout already, and want something more involved than a bandit. I would also like your opinion of what weapon captures S.T.A.L.K.E.R the best.

Which faction to go with is largely dependent on how you played the game. Freedom and Loners have the best camouflage value, and Loner in particular would be easy to find cheap material for. Duty was my favorite faction, but red on black may be difficult to work with and make effect. Monolith, of course, was awesome - but since they're the bad guys you really have no clues as to their personality. Mercenaries would not be easily identified as STALKER material.
As for weapon, anything is valid; the folding stock AK was most common on box art and concepts. I'd personally take a SiG550; mileage may vary. If you can get a AK-74 with synthetic hardware, that'd be the most valid choice (especially if it's a fast-shooting varient, lul). An LR300 would be the second most likely, but their similarity to an M16 might not be desirable.
The VSS Vintorez or the Groza would also be excellent choices, but they're not readily available.
Sadly, the only gas mask used by STALKERs does not seem to be based on any real model.

Thanks for the post Helix. I think I'm going to replicate the Freedom load out, which as you said has the best camouflage value while at the same time still has the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibe. I found some nice Russian uniforms at my surplus store, as well as a gas mask which could be worn around my neck that looks really good. For a weapon I'm leaning toward the L85. I really like the look and I already have plenty of compatible mags.
To Melson, nearly all load out threads on MIA could be found on other forums. But because I was looking for opinions, I felt it was permissible to post here. If it were a question with one answer such as (What is an M4?) I would definitely agree with you. Since it was opinion only I felt it was OK. If any moderators disagree please let me know.

There is a good thread on Arnies, but other then that thread stay away from the rest of the forum.

I usually forget about the L85, hah; never saw a reason to use it when the LR300 and the SiG550 were right there. I also don't recall Freedom using one, but that's not a concern. It is a unique and stylish weapon; I approve.
I'll probably throw together a stalker loadout somewhere down the line, but for now it's just not viable.
