I love it but it needs some balancing.

Bloodsuckers arent scary they are just infuriating.
They have a dozen special attacks that can stun, poison, bleed, disorient, knockdown and so on and so on and they dont give any reward for killing at all.
On top of this, mutants are severe bullet sponges so you'll spend 8k coupons on ammo to kill something that doesnt give any reward at all and is extremely frustrating to fight.
There is a jump attack they do and it always knocks you down no matter what, its almost impossible to dodge them and also do any amount of damage.
The jump attack wouldnt be so bad if they had less attacks, or a clear indicator that it was going to do that one attack but they have a dozen attacks they can do at any time without any tell or prediction on what they're going to do.
Its not fun its just frustrating and forces players to either cheese them or run away, which is not rewarding or exciting, its not even scary, its only disheartening.

Regardless, I think this is the best STALKER to date and can't wait for some massive modpacks, like GAMMA.
