S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - Heart of Chornobyl #018: The Search For Squint
0I go to the location on my PDA where the mission of "A Needle in the Haystack" is marked. There was a large group of Bandits there and no Squint. They gave me information where to look for him next. As I was searching, a hostile party came up on my flank, and since I was full of found supplies, I ran. I don't like to have engagements when I am overburdened more than usual. I returned to Kalissya.
Game Note: I was only given two choices of dialogue. Pay the Bandit 1,500 coupons or attack him. That didn't seem wise, being in a small room with 3 Bandits and two right outside. I paid the Bandit the coupons but really hated losing what little I had. While the game may had let me fight them, realistically it was a stupid choice to think in a real world situation I would win that fight.
