ownage! I attacked the Mercs last night and it was so frickin cool. waited til around 1am, and came in from the south with my MP5 silenced. Saw a guy on a catwalk, but didnt want to take the shot just yet. so i low-crawled around on this little embankment til I was in position to get behind him. Once in position, I waited for him to turn, walked up to him, and shot him in the face (wonder if a knife woulda worked?). Somehow the guards are as telekinetic as the ones in TES4:Oblivion, so they realized that I was there, but couldnt find me. after killing another one, I saw several of them coming around the corner outside towards me, went around the back of the building, and sprayed them from behind. took up my 1st position, took out 4 guys with my now-scoped AN94, and remembering that I have a freakin shotgun (pump action not double barrel), took it out and rushed into the building. at this point there were only like 6 left, and 1-shot kills on most but the exoskeleton guy who took a few more. emission, grab lots of ammo, PDA's, data, and a couple guns off the exoskeleton guys, and bailed outta there back to skadovsk.

was pretty freakin awesome, despite the numerous failed attempts prior to that :P

now I need to go to....hmm. well Owl wont give me any more missions, I dont have a good enough detector to go artifact hunting all the time, and i dont have the money to order anything. should I maybe just go to Yanov?
