I still can’t get over how “wrong” it sounds and feels to have native English speaking accents for the voice work instead of the heavy Ukrainian and Russian accents. This is one to play with Ukrainian VA and English subtitles for sure.

I noticed this, too. “FUCK HIM UP WITH A GRENADE!”, “Cover me, I’ll hide”; I need a Ukrainian language setting for these voicelines.

For sure, STALKER is just not the same without Cheeki Breeki!

Counterpoint. Get out of here stalker.
I think Stalker 2 needs a mix and match option where we can choose the language of the dialogue line by line. Or at least a future “meme” language option where the best lines of every translation is used.

I think that was supposed to be an attempt at an accent?

The development company is Ukrainian, I’m sure they agree with you but are working with some tighter constraints than typical for game development. Please give them some slack.

Believe me, I have nothing but patience and slack to give them. I see how my tone could be read as more demanding than nostalgic in that message. I’ve waited like 14 years for this game, that I thought would never be made when the original studio dissolved, I wouldn’t even be phased by an additional delay.
Even where this game may have faults, I have that there will be incredible work done by the modding community delivering more than I can ask for, such as there was for SoC/CoP

The game will have a Ukrainian language option afaik. There won’t be a Russian dub though.
