Spoiler: Factions and modding?

In clear sky, in fact, what are the joinable factions which you can join to normally battle against other ones? So far, I saw there is:
Stalkers.(again)
Duty.(again)
Freedom.(again)
Bandits ( again.)

Not So Joinbale Factions:
Firmament (clear sky? Guys in blue? The only new faction?)
Military (doh, not joinable)
Monolit (Fags)
Mercenaries (not joinable??? isn't the main characters a mercenary? duh.)
Mutants (I would like to be a controller, a bloodleecher, or command them)
Rebels? (totally bandits clones)...without purpose..

Ohters:
Traders, Scientics (Ecologists?), Italians.

If there is other ones, don't try to spoil too much. But I would mainly know dezodor, if from what you saw in the game, it's possible to have new factions skins ecetera.. because in fact, there is not much new factions..

The factions in CS are...

Clear Sky
Renegades
Loners
Military
Bandits
Freedom
Duty
Monolith

Renegades are, as you say, basically bandits. Very lazy of GSC not to distinguish between the two as far as skins go. Mind you, Renegades are bad boys, but Renegade Bandits must be twice as bad.

The joinable factions are...

Clear Sky
Loners
Bandits
Freedom
Duty

Although you only 'join' Clear Sky during your initial romp through the swamps, and leave them when you first go to Cordon. You may remain friends, and have them all as green dots on the minimap, but you're no longer one of them. You're a merc again.

The mercs are not a faction as such. Small groups of mercs are to be seen in the Zone and are usually on jobs for clients, as Scar was at the beginning of the game, escorting those scientists. They're not looking to acquire territory, so they're not a joinable faction.

So, yes, the GSC claim about 'new factions' was a bit of a fib. Clear Sky are the only really new faction.

I seem to recall mention of 'The Confederate' in CS. Not sure if I'm just getting mixed up there. But if I'm not, with mention of the same character in SoC, and said character yet to make an appearance anywhere, that could be part of the plot of any future Stalker title.

Unless Dez and team feel like telling The Confederate's story, whatever it is.

Few know, and I'm not telling.
