Here are the common arguments people give to play vanilla first: You don't know if you're even going to like the game much less replay the game therefore you might as well play the objectively improved (modded) version from the get go, to ensure the highest chance of liking the game.
This has been done countless times with Call of Pripyat.
For S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the vast majority of the community says vanilla first, but I strongly disagree and vote for modded first.Įveryone should play the game modded first because: This is a common subject, and the common answer differs depending on the game community.
