Stalkers Season 3 Post-Game Discussion and Feedback

Stalkers Round 3 Feedback

What have you enjoyed most about Stalkers (any season)?
The world building is amazing. It's like light RPing/an interactive story which is also fun but doesn't require too much time from us. I also like the puzzles and trying to figure out stalker identities, following clues etc.

What do you feel did NOT work in season 3, or needed more work?
I felt like I couldn't really interview people much as I had a bad match with most of the Pokemon. Didn't stop me enjoying the game though and I purposefully picked Security and decided I'd focus more on searching instead. This was the only thing I could think of. xD

Was there something from season 1 or 2 that got removed which you think should return?
The places only accessible to certain Pokemon like the water places were pretty cool. The problem is we don't always cover every typing but then we'd just need to start using Escort more. So I think having areas that only certain Pokemon can unlock is good, but maybe not as many as season 2 had as there were a LOT of water places. I know we could have got the aqua gear but yeah.

What do you think needs to be changed for the next season?
I thought this season was the perfect length and had an interesting story, so nothing.

Do you have any specific things you'd like to be able to do that you can't already (tasks, abilities, actions, perks, etc)?
Can't think of any.

If you could list five changes or additions that you think would improve Stalkers for the next round, what would they be?
Improved mission disclosure system (some thoughts posted here)

Any other comments?
I thought the sin purge ritual worked way better this time around than in season 1. Even though we had Tashy helping this time, I feel like we did most of the work ourselves. In season 1 even though we found the items ourselves, we had no idea who the stalkers were still and it seemed like an easy win. I didn't feel like Tashy took control from us or anything. Eric gave up half his turns to protect her after all and we still had to figure out the stalkers in the end. I would also be okay with not having a sin purge ritual at all though as I feel like with all the effort to make up the stalker paths etc. we might as well follow everything through to the end and then exorcise as we go. I think knowing the identities of all the stalkers (provided there is a reasonable amount as there was in this season) should be required for the sin purge ritual. It would have been interesting to see whether we would have eliminated Yandil, after all. xD
