Read the FAQ first if you have questions.

Road To The North (RTTN) is built on "Call of Misery".

It's made for players who love a mix of survival, realism, lore friendly story and interesting characters.

There are 37+ new missions, which cover most of 32 large maps in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

Mission updates are easy to follow,as updates can be read in the PDA and in a self writing journal item.

"RTTN has that Roadside Picnic feeling. Everyone entered the Zone for their own reasons and everyone is connected to eachother in some way. The game adapts to recent events, changing dialogs and missions. Characters you meet have their own interests and personalities, some will tell you their story. Everything included is lorefriendly to stalker, based on the information we can find in the original games and will take you on a well written journey. The world's size allows you to choose your own path, the order in which you play missions and write your own story as well. The Zone is an unforgiving place and it will be difficult to survive. Take your time, explore, roleplay and.. Good hunting, Stalker."

many missions and dialogs are multiple choice. Both will change based on recent events, deaths and choices, leading to a slightly different story. Stalkers will talk about these events too. Your choices have consequences. One of the new mutants I'm very proud of, is the "Nightshade".

You can choose who you are. Your gender, faction, name and player icon can all be customised.

Road To The North is incredibly detailed and perfect for roleplaying.

- You can disguise yourself by wearing a faction suit, unlocking gameplay mechanics during missions

- Multiple choice responses to dialogs, even based on gender and your current faction.

- There's a ceasefire between Duty and Freedom near the bar area. others will respond to the situation.

- There's a new faction ("The Beyond"), which is connected to the story.

- The Monolith are an extreme threat to the main factions. Your actions will make a difference.

- Stalkers send eachother messages and respond to what they find and see (Tronex addon)

- A completely new world map (satellite), with level positions inspired by real life.

- Make new friends by helping them and ask them to come with you on your mission.

- Dynamic missions can be repeated, including fetch and assassination missions (DoctorX).



Road To The North story compatible factions are: Loners, Ecologists, Clear Sky, Duty, Freedom.

Other factions are usually enemies of the main story characters. You can still play as an incompatible faction like Bandits or Monolith, with limited dynamic mission support.

Road To The North is standalone, it includes CoM and many other addons, edited by me.

Some of the new RTTN features are:

-A complete, large and interesting new story line! Completely lore friendly.

Road To The North is built on top of a collection of many other amazing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. mods. Because many mods have been merged together in the past, it is often difficult to find every person who has worked on the included mods.
