One [wild dog] was able to really sink his teeth in me, and I began to bleed. To treat bleeding in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., you have to apply a bandage, and alas, I didn't have one yet.
Fortunately, I found a wounded soldier as I hobbled onward to meet with Wolf's men. Here's where S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s reputation system comes into play. The fallen soldier asked me to search the area for a med kit he'd thrown by accident when he was attacked (he was too hurt to find it himself). Once retrieved, he asked that I bring it to him and heal him. I, of course, had two choices: do as he asked, or use the med kit for myself, since I had already lost almost half my life and was still bleeding profusely.
Despite his compelling moral arguments, my shoulder angel lost the battle that day. Not only did I opt to use the health pack on myself, but I killed the wounded soldier and looted his body, finding bandages and more bullets.....
...My companions, apparently, decided that sneaking missions are overrated; they ran toward the decrepit village, shouting and firing at the first sign of the bandits. As bullets hailed the earth around me, I shot toward a nearby vehicle, holding down the sprint key for an extra burst of speed. Lowering my belly to the ground, accomplished by holding two unique crouch keys, I flanked the structure and entered a building through a gaping hole in a crumbling wall. Therein, I found a bandit preoccupied with one of my groupies. My friend died a horrible death, and I could have helped him, but I was busy creeping up behind my prey. Sheathing my gun and withdrawing a knife, I swung down hard with the right mouse button, a more powerful blow when that particular weapon is equipped, and stabbed him hard in the face. He slumped to the ground, I looted his body (med kit and bandages) and crawled onward to my fallen ally. Relieving him of his burdens, I moved onward......
After several more intense minutes of stalking, looting, and stabbing with a good bit of shooting thrown in, the battle was over. The AI presented a worthy fight, leaving only one of my comrades alive.
A comrade holding a shotgun.
I really needed that shotgun.
Seconds later, I had a more capable weapon ....
......While there were no human foes near this tunnel, there were quite a few packs of dogs and boars, which in their own way, proved far more dangerous than humans. I knew from past experience that the roaming animals in this game could easily hand me my head, so I decided to stay where I was for a while longer and study their patterns. Too bad I couldn't find any; their AI behavior seemed far too realistic to allow for such typical video game routines of moving to one area, then another, then back again.
Suddenly, the dogs began barking and running over a hill to my left. A boar had been spotted, and it too was running in the same direction, though away from the dogs!...
I made my way back to the camp and went to meet up with Nibbles. He wanted the jacket, obviously, so I... decided to quick save. First, I gave him the jacket and was pleased when he presented me with more quests to undertake. More quests means more rewards, after all. But then I quick loaded. I decided to kill him by shooting him in the head, thereby keeping the jacket for my own greedy self. This was not the wisest course of action, as a patrolman outside the building heard the gun shot and brought the wrath of the Zone on me. I quick loaded again and stabbed Nibbles in the face before proceeding to drag his body down to the building's basement where it could rot.
