If you haven't been in the Arena, I'd recommend it - it's a good way to make money and show everyone what you can do. Not everyone has the balls to fight the next monster and that's a pity! Man, as soon as I save up enough cash for decent armor, I'm there.

In pre-release builds, he was involved into an excursion in the Red Forest alongside two other stalkers, Hunchback and Spotty. Baldy eventually ran away when the men began to feel the effects of the Brain Scorcher, with Spotty passing out and Hunchback dying to rescue Spotty. Baldy then started blaming himself for his comrades' fate. The associated dialogue is present in the game's string tables, but remains unimplemented[non-game. 2].

  2. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Baldy: "The three of us were getting ready to try to get through to the North. We didn't know when the Scorcher emissions were lower but Spotty managed to get the info somewhere...I don't know where... We were half-way through the sector, when the Scorcher suddenly switched on again. Spotty passed out straight away and fell down the hillside. I panicked and said that we should leave everything and go back. Hunchback managed to pull himself together and said that we had to get Spotty out... I said "You're an idiot, don't you wanna live? It's over for him, how are we gonna carry him all the way back?" Just as he managed to convince me and started to climb down to get Spotty... another wave came. By the time I came to my senses I was by the military base... I thought Hunchback and Spotty stayed there... but Hunchback got him out and didn't make it himself... he got him out..."
