Let's have a Pathologic thread
>>316504692
protip op, you need to post more then "let's talk about it :^)" to get responses
>>316505032
The entire game is spoilers, kinda hard not to.
Andrei is my nigger.
>>316505032
It has worked for many Pathologic threads, I don't see why it won't work for this one
Why is english trailer so shit compared to russian one?

I'm on day 12, but it just feels like such a drag now. Gotta go around and fix Burakh's fuck ups now. At least I got 6 shmowders and 5 panacea.
I'm like on day 4, I'm having fun with the game but haven't played it in a week, don't know how I'm going to get myself back in the mindset but its a really fun and interesting game.
I usually pace myself pretty well and have been completing all missions but since the days are getting harder not sure if I will be able to.
Also; check out my sick OC.
>>316506397
Thankfully I had saved some of them a few days earlier, so it wasn't such a chore for me.
>>316506794
>No lolis
shit OC
>>316507014
Spoiler that shit senpai
how come bachelor and haruspex are suddenly bros in haruspex's story? are the stories all slightly different rather than just the same from a different perspective?
Day 3 of Clara. So far it's all about digging up dirt on the less savoury of the Town's residents.
Holy fuck Anna Angel did some fucked up shit.
>>316507123
sorry desubut seriously I dont get it..was it all a ruse cruise of 2 playing children?
>rob a shop
You can't fucking do that. Why does the OP pic make shit up?
>>316507493
Because the picture is not for the Classic version but for the coming remake.
>>316507493
It's from the kickstarter remake not the HD edition
>>316507342Pretty much. At first I was annoyed by it because the fact that it wasn't "real" made everything seem pointless, but then I remembered that I've been playing the game from the beginning with the assumption that it's all a play, and then I remembered that the game is also up front about just being a game with some of its fourth wall breaking executor/tragedian bits, so it stopped bothering me. Some other anon posted some cool ideas about the ending but I mostly forget what it was.
>bought pathologic again
haven't had time to play it just gotta be in the right mood i guess
>>316507651
>>316507632
Now I feel stupid, thanks for clearing that up.
Has anyone done any in depth analysis of what little we've seen from the remake?
At the very beginning of one of the trailers, we see the character open the door to a house and see a sort of dialogue wheel pop up. The character freezes here however, standing in the doorway and speaking to the character within.
Personally what I think this means is the game may have a more streamlined system for interacting with adherants/important characters. You open up the door to a house and inside is the character immediately, you don't get to walk around their mansion and talk to them or examine their shit.
The only problem with this, in my mind, is how will they put beds back into gameplay? Perhaps it will be a dialogue option or something else?
I could be totally wrong but does anybody else notice this?
Day 10 Bachelor, getting real tired of walking all across the city
I don't even need the map anymore to know the shortest path to go to the Bound houses
I seriously hope they improve this in the remake
Also I have some questions:
Can someone explain how much time can infected Adherents survive?
Can the Termitary loli get infected?
Can infected adherents get sick again or once you heal them they are fine for the entire 12 days?
>>316508676
That can't be real
>>316507678
Massive spoilers holy shitThe two kids just came back from a funeral, someone they loved died. They find a magic sandbox, they create a town menaced by plague and send their dolls in to "fix" it.
They're basically doing an RP therapy session: the plague is all the fear of death, confusion, anxiety, and murky unpleasant feelings swirling around under the surface that have broken free in their psyches, the Town is their minds, the Polyhedron is this immortal escape from reality at the cost of freezing time, it's covering your ears and going la la la and learning nothing from your experiences.
The thing that really makes it great for me is that the story works on both levels independent of the other. You can just ignore the sandbox ending and say it doesn't exist and still get a fantastic, internally consistent story with its own fleshed out characters, themes, and plot.
Sandbox is just meta-icing on the cake. Theatre is the meta-strawberry.
>>316508676
I get the impression that the video we've seen of the game is just a sort of concept render rather than actual gameplay. In updates since any videos about it that they've put out, they said they've changed the overall artstyle completely and nothing was set in stone.
This is some cool stuff.

>>316508972
It's literally from the kickstarter video. I was just making observations.
Yes, let's. I've been having a hard time figuring something out.
Bachelor day 4:I talked to Aspity and she called Lara a bitch and whatnot, went back to her and she said the guy I'm looking for is on his way to the Termitary, and that the door is currently open so I should hurry. Neither of the doors on the road between the blocks are actually open, and the guards won't talk to me. What am I supposed to do to finish this quest?Also, I got the cathedral opened up but didn't get a key, and I need both keys for big Vlad to be of use. Am I missing something?
>>316509170
>>316508676
To add to that, just looking at the part you mentioned, the way the text moves with the scene translation in the trailer is what makes me inclined to say the text was added in as a layer on top of the 3d footage.
>>316507678
>>316509052Honestly I enjoyed the setting and the way the worldbuilding was handled using conversations with townspeople that live disconnected from the rest of the world, so the true ending was a letdown
>>316507678
I've only finished Bachelor so far, do you understand more about the whole thing once you beat the other routes?
>>316509663
I didn't follow up with Aspity's words, so I have no idea for the first one.
As for the second, the only thing I can think of isYou need to talk to the guy outside the cathedral again, did you help his cousin escape the infected district?
>>316504692
made a pastebin of 2 posts some kind anon made a few threads ago: http://pastebin.com/hyRAxaYm
put this also in the OP next time one of you makes a thread
>>316509663
You can't catch him, Aspity's a lying shit. Talk to the guys in front of the Cathedral and the Theatre and they'll tell you there's a dude wandering the infected zones with the respective keys.
>>316510771
Very much so. You find out just how much information the entire town refuses to tell the Bachelor and how much of the big picture he's missing. Hell, a lot of people who seemed like crazy assholes now have understandable motivations.
>>316508881
Can someone explain how much time can infected Adherents survive?
As long as you complete everything during the day, nobody will die.
Can the Termitary loli get infected?She is already dead m8
Can infected adherents get sick again or once you heal them they are fine for the entire 12 days?
Good question, no idea.
>>316511001
Most of the important stuff is covered in >>316505790
which is usually posted. A lot of the things in that pastebin seem like they'd make the game a cakewalk. Gotta leave some things for people to figure out themselves.
Does him being on top mean that he is the next to get infected if i fuck up?
>>316511610
Yup. Don't let that happen.
>>316509170
>The first game they made became a cult classic
>They got experience now
>They got money now
>The guy who composed the OST went on a journey into the depths of Russia and has improved a lot
>They are working hard
>They like videogames
This is probably the most promising kickstarter ever
If they deliver it will be GOTY
>>316510954
>You need to talk to the guy outside the cathedral again, did you help his cousin escape the infected district?
Yeah, he gave me a twyrine but there's still only one guy in front of the cathedral.
>>316511014
>you there's a dude wandering the infected zones with the respective keys.
I did both of their escort things, but I don't have both keys.
Fuck Aspity.
>>316511908
Pretty sure the guy who did the original OST isn't with them anymore.
>>316512049
Check the ground where you found them, the keys show up in your Other inventory and if it's full they get dumped on the ground. There was another guy in an earlier thread with the same problem.
Or try going back to talk to Fat Vlad, maybe you already unlocked the two buildings.
>>316512167
http://steamcommunity.com/app/384110/discussions/0/496879865899688998/#p1
Well the russian trailer song was made by him too after he came back from his journey so I think it's likely that he will also work in the remake
>>316512294
Oh yeah, that sounds likely. I have already checked Vlad so that's definitely not the case. I'm pretty sure I remember where the cathedral guy was though so this should work out.
I'm day 3 bachelorI'm supposed to find some kid in the 'silent house' for some schmowder. I've checked Isodor's house in the infected district and it's locked, checked sticky's house, nothing, checked some infected house and found only sick women. Where's that kid?
>>316512680
Mushroomer wasn't the original Pathologic guy is what I mean. He did do The Void, not sure about other games

how do I into herb mixing with haruspex? what do the ratios mean?

>As a player, I want to have some spare time every day and I want to spend it the way I like it.
Cancer, you make time by not fucking around
>>316511610
>>316511838
Can someone explain how this whole thing works? I've played through all of Bachelor without any of my bound ever getting sick or anything.
What did I do to not fuck up?
>>316512893
He's hiding in the courtyard behind a house, tucked into a crack. Still in the infected district but in one of the grassy areas, between roads.
>>316513078
Just use the recipes you're given. The 80/7.5 one you get right off the bat is great up until like day 7-8. It means you get a 80% immunity boost but lose 7.5% health. Swevery is a pain in the dick to get though. The Worm down in the swamp near the trainyard trades for it.
>>316513049
Guess I'm retarded then
Thanks for pointing out my mistake
only heard about this game through /v/, read the wikipedia article just now. I'll probably play it after I wrap up the Thief trilogy, but the question is: how bad is the translation? Is there a work-around? It was the one flaw listed on wikipedia that sounded like a real problem
>>316514763
Only the original has bad translation, the HD edition that was recently relased has a good one
>>316514921
vanderful, thank you
I've done a Bachelor playthrough, is there anything I need to watch out for as Haruspex?
>>316514763
That was the original game, but the remake that just came out on steam has made it perfectly fine. It's still a little poetic, but that's what le russian indie devs are all about.
>>316514763
>I'll probably play it after I wrap up the Thief trilogy
My nigger, how are you liking that?
The main thing I warn people about is that it has a shit ton of walking. It's not a walking simulator, there's way more to the gameplay than that, but just be ready for slow pace (especially the Bachelor's first few days, which is basically the introduction to the whole game, and after which things pick up a bit).
>>316515034
Harvest dem organs, murder as many thieves as you can for sweet sweet organs and blood, trade with the Worms when you have spare time, get ready to not have spare time anymore after the 7-8th day because you'll be walking back and forth across the entire town multiple times just for the daily quest.
You'll probably be doing more fighting than the other two characters, but you also get to see the Abattoir and all the neat fucked-up steppe lore. I liked the ending much more than the Bachelor's, personally.
>>316508676
>My chest seems to be filled with cotton.
Oh wow... I...
>>316515378
>how are you liking that?
I'm a little satiated at about 75% through Thief 2, a total of like 60-70 hours in the last couple of weeks. I really enjoyed it all up until pretty recently, now it feels.. well I dunno if I'll finish it now or start with some other little project for a couple of days so it'll feel fresh again. Probably the latter.
ok. with the right atmosphere that shouldn't be a problem.
>>316515785
>Murder as many thieves as you can
I did that a lot as Bachelor anyway, they're too valuable to be ignored. I'm interested to see what Haruspex does since he seemed a lot more humane than Bachelor.
>>316516478
Why do people always say that Bachelor is a sociopath?
He only gets angry when people are acting full on retarded and when people are reasonable he keeps making bad jokes
>>316516838
I always got the feeling that he really didn't care much about the town, at least initially, and that he was only there for muh research.
>>316516478
>>316516838
Probably its just the gameplay.
Personally I like the fact that you can act a little differently as the bachelor (only played the bachelor so far), You can be a huge dick or a nice guy. I prefer the nice guy bachelor.
>>316517315
Well he's a man of reason in a town of crazy people with one over-natural belief to another.
Already on the first day they are burning women on stakes, no wonder he's pissed.
>>316517651
Yeah, you can get a sense of the frustration from having to jump through so many loopholes just to do stuff that would actually help people.
>>316517315
>Manage to fully revive a dead woman
>lol lmao you can't resurrect people we will shut your lab unless you find evidence
>Get to town where you can find evidence
>The air is fucking poisoned
>The guy who was supposed to save your entire life work is dead
>Retarded townsfolk don't let you get even a sample of his blood
>Crazy yandere acts like she can see the future
>There seems to be a deadly plague
>Have to kill mutiple muggers while going to Eva house so you can sleep
>lol if you don't save the town we will shut down your lab for good
>Try to save the town

>get assaulted by 2 infected women
>After Saburov becomes the ruler he abuses his power
>Only helper you have in town is getting persecuted
>have to risk your life to get a infected heart
>no meds for you though we already distrubuted all of them
I would be pissed too
Being Bachelor is suffering
>>316518159
At the very least, he has prestige. From almost the get-go of the outbreak he is the defacto leader and given special privileges and powers.
I haven't played the other characters yet, but I imagine the game must be very different when it comes time to play them.
Bachleor, day one. It's 23:50 and i have finished all my quests, but i still get a gamę over. What havw i done qrong? I don't want to start over.
>>316516838
he is literally fedora tier
he looks down on everything he cannot understand and he outright refuses to accept anything that he cannot rationally explain.
>>316518851
Is there a "***" at the beginning of the final paragraph of your main quests description?
>>316518851
You need to finish the "today's mission", not the sidequests.
Basically you need to find the source of the murders.
>>316519116
I know, but how do i do that? And don't give me some cryptic shit, spoilers it.
>>316518468
>He is the leader
Yeah he technically is but
>I need this corpse for research
>What you want to save us all?You better pay us loads of money or we will beat the shit out of you
>lol the best doctor in town says we should stay indoors to avoid getting infected? nah I'm gonna go outside
>Vlad keeps jewing people instead of setting up a hospital and a morgue and you have to do it for him
>hey Saburov I helped you a lot can you please free the Haruspex so we can create a vaccine? Of course not
He does no healing work in the entire game, all he does is risk his life doing everything he can to save a town he must hate because nobody pays any attention at all to what he says
>>316519303Talk to that bald Olgymsky guy, he will give you a clue about his son. Once you exit the house a creepy monster thing will run past you. Follow him and he'll lead you to a shack where his son is. Talk to him. I believe you can also find his location by talking to Eva.
>>316519885
Thanks anon.
>>316513754
Thanks,he was hiding in the last place I expected him to be. I get anxious in the infected are and rush too much to inspect. Now to find that blood sample, oh boy. I'll steer the ship from here, thanks.
>>316512294
>Check the ground where you found them
Alright, I finally got around to doing this. There's a sack on the ground, like with other items you drop, but I can't loot it for some reason. I'm looking at it from different angles and mashing E, but I guess I'm just fucked.
>>316521245
Do you have enough space in your inventory?
>>316521353
Yeah. I've dropped other shit from my other tab to make sure, but even if I was filled up the loot menu still should appear.
Wait so are the Executors people? Or are they actual bird-looking creatures? Don't respond if this is a spoiler post day 4 please.
>>316523089
Come on man they even tell you on the tutorial
You also get a sidequest to obtain an executor outfit

I wish we had voice acting of that quality. The only good english voice is Block's, as far as I can tell.
>>316504692
weren't they making a new version of this game?
>>316523717
B U R A K H
U
R
A
K
H
>>316523768
They are. This version is because they felt bad about giving the original translation version to KS backers as a reward, and so people who don't end up liking changes in the remake still have a better version of the original.
Yo Saburov didn't you promise 30k to whomever could stop these robbers? What's with you only giving me 5?
I failed to make the brothers escape the city, and one of the brother's house is now infected and he is inside it. Is it over for him?
>>316525820
Have you talked to him?
It should be noted that just because an adherent is inside the infected district doesn't mean they are actually infected. I don't know how much you know, but within a day or two you'll learn about the disease's strengths as well as weaknesses; you'll know soon enough.
>>316526108
Yeah I did, he said that he feels weird or something. It was pretty spoopy.
>>316525820
If something serious has happened to a Bound character there will be an Executor by their door. Being in an infected district doesn't matter for them.
>>316524192
is there any eta for the new game?
>>316526398
Late 2016.
>>316521245
Try to click on it from farther away. I ran into this problem.
>>316518468
You are correct there. Starting out as Haruspex - pretty much everyone wants you dead and people will attack you on sight. It's not really making things easy on you, because it happens the moment you start the game - on day one, so you will get no peaceful introductions or lazy restocking opportunities. You'll be bleeding all over the place and should you actually decide to fight back, your reputation will go down even lower and make it even more difficult to proceed.
>>316526790
I tried most everything. Ended up loading an older savegame
>>316527329
There's a shitty as fuck bug that doesn't seem to have been addressed where if you drop something on the ground then go through a loading screen (go into or out of a house, etc.) you can't pick it back up again. Older saves are really all you can do, shit sux.
>>316528509
You can pick them up again, but you have to be practically standing on the bag to do it.
