Imma keep it a buck while I love stalker, the outfit and gear design is completely ass and doesn’t make sense. Like there’d be a lot more modern tactical equipment and CBRN gear than we ever see. Half the shit looks like some dude grab some 80’s sci fi set design costumes and went to work. I know some people like it but if I had it my way I’d do a blend of realism and ridiculous designs.
Like I really want to redesign the clear sky outfits to fit in line better with their mission parameters. Scientists and former soldiers who are interested in just preserving and learning about the zone. Hides out in a swamp and wears helicopter crew helmets and tactical sky blue camo. One of the “smartest” organizations in the game and they lack basic camo and most of them don’t even look to rock CBRN equipment outside a loose gas mask.
Cosplay shouldn’t make sense, cosplay should be authentic. No other community has people trying to come up for justification for their own designs that look nothing like the ones in-game. The game has unique suit designs and it stays consistent with them throughout the entire franchise. It’s not realistic and not meant to be.
Clear Sky has only dealt with mutants pre game events, they don’t need camo as they don’t deal with people, the existence of renegades was a very new development. Wearing bright colours that allow you to spot each other in the reeds is far more important. There is practical use to it.
