Getting started in GAMMA - 2023 Remix

So my original getting started guide to Stalker GAMMA while popular is getting a bit old! So I decided it was time to update it a little due to the changes to the game and some of the quests difficulty levels.

This is long and aimed at NEW players including those who may have no idea where to start, so yes I explain things in some detail in places. I have added chapters so you can hop around to the bits that might be important to you.

I also have various other guides, (some are older than others):
Repair Guide:    • A Guide To Repair in Stalker GAMMA  
Healing Guide:    • A Guide To Healing in Stalker GAMMA  
FAQ#1:    • Stalker GAMMA FAQ #1  
FAQ#2:    • Stalker GAMMA FAQ #2  
Hideouts:    • Hideouts in Stalker GAMMA  
Disguises:    • Disguises in Stalker GAMMA  
Cooking:    • Cooking in Stalker GAMMA
