I understand your frustration. Perhaps EP 1.3 really does fix some quest bugs. I've had no problem getting out of X16 (I happened to have gotten out of it shortly after writing my reply to you lol). No problems with Military shooting at my at Countryside (as some reported). I bug with the ladder still exists in countryside tunnels (where you can't get that data flashdrive, the part that looks exactly identical to the beginning of dream-sequence of X16).

The most annoying issue for me though is that I play with Russian Voices - English Text. And Russian Voices (and I reported it both to Dezo and EP Author) that the voices are just too quiet, too mute. English voices are a lot louder. If I raise the volume, the wind is literally much louder than the voices.

Personally I don't mind the weapons using real names, because the console code of Stalker Games use the weapons' real names. I prefer the additional weapons in the "DLC" and the higher resolution textures for it (both hand models and world models. High preferance for me. Also adds armors from previous Stalker games such as all of the "Clear Sky" Armor's with updated descriptions such as "After the faction collapsed, getting a CS Armor is very unlikely).

I do think the previous 1.1 update to the EP that adds 15 extra "Experience Upgrade Points" thing I think really breaks the balance, putting the total points at 25 give or take instead of 10. The "Guides" prices are lowered though and makes it easier to travel. Vehicle's have been updated to more realistic in 1.3 which I actually prefer for realism, by needing repair kits to repair the vehicle, reduced fuel consumption but needing 3 Fuel Canisters for a Fill Up.

All in all, it depends on the players' preferences. Some like vanilla, some like "DLC's". Personally, I don't mind, and in some cases prefer the Extended Pack, the most top reason being the "Pre-Patch 1.4006" and the PWM Weapons Add-On. Some quests I've read having bugs as of 1.4005 on this wiki that I personally have not experienced. Some I still have however. In my honest opinion, I do think it is improving the game, that's why it felt very official, and thought it was with Dezo collab.

I'm honestly just glad that 1.4005 fixed the technicians and "filled" the zone with more NPC's and Side Quests and made it feel less empty.
