GZW, Roadside Picnic and The Unknown + an idea.

First of all, big thanks to MFG for this patch. It has its rough edges but it's definitely a good step. I've been playing since release and the maturity the game is achieving is great. Also tagging this as a spoiler in case someone wants to experience stuff first, which I will describe below, but mark it as spoilers.

Second thing, I think it's the first time a game of this type tries to mix a tactical realistic shooter with the unknown (>!possibly out of this earth) Meaning it plays like a realistic version of Ghost Recon, only to stumble upon cryptic reports, oddly disfigured bodies, and then weird inhuman sounds at night.!<

So, because of this an idea came to my mind. We know very little of what is going on Ground Zero, but two things came to my mind.

1. Classic, GZ will be a endgame area where all the >!alien/supernatural!< things will happen, and it will have more >!stalker or even x-files!< stuff vibes.

2. What if MFG introduces a 4th faction that is actually playable? Some >!alien/out of this world etc.faction!< that you can play as in PvP mode, but you can't leave that zone (albeit on special circumstances) to mess around with other players. But in PvE those are AI controlled. this point is something I just thought now about, and I decided to write about it on Reddit.

just a loose thought that came to my mind, to do a little brainstorming to see what people think. also I know the devs said there won't be any >!alien/unknown!< stuff, but I kinda... don't believe that. there will be defo something strange happening, there is too much lore buildup around that.

anyway, feel free to share your thoughts. those are mine so far, and as a disclaimer I only base those thoughts on what I already experienced in the game.
