To be honest I don't know why, except that lots of other media productions are also doing it, like a mass psychosis.
What are you talking about? It is the Western Europe that has the largest concentration of black people outside of the United States, not the Eastern Europe:
oh, famous african colonies of swedenWhat are you talking about? It is the Western Europe that has the largest concentration of black people outside of the United States, not the Eastern Europe:
Also, keep in mind that in the entire United States of America black people consist of 12-15% of the population, which makes France's 8% a staggering amount by comparison. Some of this may be explained by the fact that citizenship was given to children of parents who were part of the former colonies and overseas territories (and France has most colonies in Africa).
Plenty is probably a wrong word. I've been to Eastern Europe before 2022. There were enough blacks for me to see them almost every day. But keep in mind it was big cities, in smaller ones they are probably non-existent, same as in Russia.What are you talking about?

I don't know how many of them were actual citizens though. Some of them were tourists perhaps?
Anyway, I'm not here to advocate for putting blacks in everything where they don't belong. I just think a random African in the Zone is not that far fetched.
if he won't speak russian/ukrainian in the game then it's clear diversity hire.
Oh great, they found another Yasuke.Plenty is probably a wrong word. I've been to Eastern Europe before 2022. There were enough blacks for me to see them almost every day.

P.S.: I've seen people throwing around photos of this guy who has been a Chernobyl disaster liquidator in 80s. People say that this negro dude in the trailer is a reference to him. It would have been a cool reference, because this IRL guy is quite famous here. But I don't think that's the case, he looks nothing like him. So it's most likely a diversity hire.
Is it a real person? You never know these days.
If they had done it in SoC 2007 maybe fewer would have cared. But GSC suddenly discovering/remembering this now reveals their true motive: to insert a black person at all cost.
Yeah, that's exactly it.
Without a doubt. As I've said, he's kind of famous.
Obviously. And he's also so generic looking. If you are inserting a character, at least give him a scar, a beard, something. Make him look like a stalker and not just boring blank with no background from MetaHuman.
Apparently he's a black Russian, and we can't have that! What a disappointment for GSC.
I guess the only thing that matters here is skin color, it's basically a diversity placeholder.
Any idea on how to play SoC with the Russian voiceover?
Rutracker has vanilla version in RU
Need to use the English text for the UI and dialogs though.
Then find EN version and put RU audio in
That's because they're the children of African elites.
I haven't added mods to Stalker, ever besides Complete and Anomaly. Is it correct to add ZRP+AMK 1.4 (ENG) in that order and call it a day? Or should only AMK 1.4 be installed?
Can't tell, for SoC I usually play pure vanilla... Better ask in the proper thread though
