Was P2 been infested with bugs like P3 is? Not talking about the technical issues.
>>
>>731190752
If that's what you want she wants it too.
P1 eva just wants that regardless though.

Genuinely shocked there's no mods yet.
>>
>>731190998
I don't remember any bugs with P2, even on release, P3 is much buggier. But then I do get it, p3 is much more complex.
>>
>>731188730
Yeah, her true end is her brain getting plastered all over the floor in front of the Cathedral
>>
>>731190998
Quests worked fine in P2.
And, they technically work fine in P3 as well. It's just that stuff starts to fall apart in the last few days because they didn't do the required testing. I would've been extremely impressed if the last three days worked properly considering you can cut off entire branching plot threads days earlier.
>>
>>731191915
I just have the last two days to do now and the only annoying bug I've had is Eva disappearing from the stillwater on Day VIII after saving her, preventing me from saving Baccio. There have been a few instances of characters being alive when they shouldn't be and stuff like that, and dialogue referencing things which I'd rewritten, but I'm not bothered by that given the complexity of the game.
It's a lot less buggy than I was expecting.
>>
>>731193413
Personally I'm impressed the game isn't a bigger mess. The game apparently has almost 10K quest flags. It could've been a lot worse. They've at least fixed the biggest immersion breaking issue of characters being both alive and dead.
>>
>>731188730
She doesn't have one.
>>
>>731187581
Don't care, I'm more interested in saving Lara to be honest
>>
>>731187581
No, lol!
>>731194794
I'm still disappointed.
>>
>>731193049
well technically, while that does happen in the original game, then her body gets dragged out to the steppe by some kin so they can take turns with her corpse for a day or so

i guess it depends whether you're counting her end from her perspective or the players'

What's the best strategy for days where your mania/apathy fluctuate dangerously but you have no money nor substances to subdue them and keep them balanced through world objects?
I am doing day four now and keep dying by the time I get to the bar because every line there is pissing Dankovsky off for some reason and I don't have any morphine.
I tried running around till I exhausted myself which let me survive with about 5 health but then I had no way of decreasing my apathy and lost two full amalgam shards by the end of it via leakage and an hero.
Fuck this retarded nigger day and faggot system. Is there a strategy?
I love everything about this game but this (managing it alone would be fine, but how am I supposed to know Dankovsky answering some steppe peasant in Latin was tantamount to the national broadcast announcing his mother is a whore and he's just about ready to off himself or get a heart attack as a result).
>>
I got into the series with 3 and don't feel particularly inclined to play any of the previous games, I'll be honest...
But the way everyone is talking about it it seems like they are closely connected.
Are any of the games "separate universes" or is it the same story retold or is it covering the plague that happened 5 years ago or what's the deal?
If I *were* to play the other games after this one, how much would I recognize/how much of the story would be spoiled?
>>
Is med tolerance tracked by day or by the entire save? I got back to Day 5 and noticed that the sedative effectiveness is really low, but that may have been me using too many on that day. I feel like I really haven't used them on the other ones.
>>
>>731203052
It's the same plague in every game, just told from the perspective of someone else. In 2 you're playing the haruspex and he's the main player in resolving everything. Some things happen the same, some things happen differently. Usually there's choices involved though.
>>
>>731203052
Playing either of the other games would only improve 3. It seems like a really bad starting point to me, but I can't be sure.
>>
>>731202848
Firstly, forget blue drugs almost entirely. Just stock up on health tonics. They're the cheapest thing in the game and kids always sell them. I never ran low but if you're already in that position, spend a couple rewinds just doing a loop around the stairway kids to stock up, I guess.
Check story locations for loot if you've already cleared out the regular stashes I guess, maybe check anywhere you might have missed like the boat docks/behind the cathedral/warehouses. Definitely loot the hospital if you've forgotten that.
Don't leave extra matchsticks in stashes, discard them instead. I'm not totally sure but I think they do gradually respawn (maybe not if you stay on the same day though... it's not frequent enough to be obvious anyway).

Just focus on replenishing up to like 10 tonics, 1 morphine/whatever, and like 2 strychnine/whatever before resuming. That's all you need handy on any given day, manage the rest with kicking dumpsters and shit--don't medicate except in emergencies after rough conversations.
Never be balanced, aim for 25-50% mania most of the time and heal it off. That way you have a buffer for apathetic conversations and regular decay, plus the speed boost will mitigate resource attrition in general despite the constant (but slow) tonic cost. Manic conversations meanwhile won't kill you and you can even just ignore the health loss of 100% mania if you've got more than a stack of tonics to use up.

And if you're really just stuck on one particular dialogue chain... maybe try picking different options? Or buffer your mentals with world objects in the other direction since you know it's coming?

2 is very different gameplay-wise, since the survival elements are persistent and you're dealing with a panicking economy sim (my favourite part of the the series desu which is absent in 3). You're also not running the town, and are instead focused on keeping key people from dying to the plague while looking for your own cure.
As anon said the different characters have different perspectives, as well as their own approach to the cure. Haruspex is a steppe-adjacent medicine man so he's more focused on the mythology and alchemical type stuff. While Daniil is respected and aligned with the "Utopians" who are the elites like the Kaines, Haruspex is initially hated and slums it with the "Termites" who are the kids which have more to do with the underbelly, and the kin obviously
(Although those are P1 terms and I can't remember if 2 refers to these factions explicitly. btw Clara represents the "Humbles" who are the scum and apathetic types.) The major events are the same for the most part but the actual story you experience, characters you interact with the most, and the resolutions are therefore very different. Stuff that happens offscreen in 3 is probably shit you do in 2, for example, and what actually goes down might be quite different from what Dankovsky hears about.

Don't play Pathologic 1 though. I'd recommend everyone start with 2, which is basically a remake. 1 is very slow, yet very easy, and only for purists or those of us who played long before 2 existed, which does basically the same shit but better (although the aesthetic differences are a matter of taste).

update: eva has a full mostly unused body texture including cute tummy moles and pussy stubble

so I'm downloading quarantine since the release p3 mesh is kind of a hack job under her dress; maybe there's more of it leftover in the demo; and p2 since she showed more skin in that one and it might be the same body maybe
>>
>>731203052
If you liked the story, characters, and the mystery...Then I highly recommend playing Pathologic 2. Keep in mind though that this anon >>731205798 is right about the gameplay. 2 is also harder because you are balancing the need to stay hydrated, fed, and rested while also fighting against a clock that you cannot change. There will be moments in 2 (especially if you play it blind) where you may find yourself debating whether it's more important to spend an in-game hour looking for food or someone to trade for food vs. completing a quest objective.

That's to say if the part you liked about 3 was the gameplay...You may struggle bit with 2 unless survival games are you thing. But even if they aren't, I still say give it a try. Seeing the story and events unfold from the Haruspex's prespective is absolutely worth it, especially with the fact that he's from the town. There's pre-existing relationships, a stronger understanding of the Kin, and a general stronger connection to the town itself. This makes 2 far more immersive and give is a very unique atmosphere that I feel is missing in 3.

As for your question, you'll recognize the characters and main story beats, but I wouldn't worry about the story itself being spoiled. I am playing through 3 right now with all the knowledge I have of 2. I know what the Haruspex was doing on each day and some context as to why. But I have no fucking idea what to expect with Daniil other than knowing he's kicking trashcans and is 1 bad conversation away from offing himself. I'm still getting tons of surprises. I suspect 2 would be the same for you as you live through Artemy's story.
>>
>>731210707
That's probably a leftover from Pathologic 2 where she was pretty much half naked.
>>
>>731210826
Actually now that I'm looking at it it looks different, there's no moles on her P2 textures.
So either she was still showing more skin in an earlier version of the game or they're just using generic premade human body models and left the entire texture in instead of trimming the unneeded bits.

>>731210826
that's the hope
I'm sure they started with that model as a base at least and since the cleanup under her dress is so rough (also they misclicked a vert on her right thigh so she has a giant spike under there lol) maybe it was a late change and she's still nude under there in the demo. longshot though

alternately even if the p2 version is only close, if the UVs etc are basically transferrable it might save me a lot of time since I'd rather be spending the next couple of hours deciding how long her clitoris should be than rebuilding her abdomen

>>731210996
i think it might just be new textures since they upgraded the skin shader? based on this iso view anyway, pic related (I fixed her thigh spike already rip)

comparing the topology to the herb bride and patient i don't think they're generic models btw
>>
Damn, got the Fiasco ending...
Is it just me or you can't undo and retry the talk with Stamatin on day 8? After the examination I'm just kicked out of his house. Or do I need to find another Stamatin anyway?
>>
>>731211368
How did you get Fiasco? Are you stupid? Were you not playing the day progressions as linearly as possible?
>>
>>731203596
I get that impression too. Can you imagine getting invested in the story or setting if you'd started with this game?
There are no stakes. Neither you or any major NPC can catch the plague, you only really care about three people in the entire town, (Eva, Little by the end, arguably Artemy and maybe the Stamaitans.) virtually all of whose deaths and survivals come baked into the setting.
By this point in Pathologic 2 Artemy has cured 7+ people of the plague, rescued at least three orphans, pulled 3 babies from plague houses to protect them from the local serial killer, undertaken a vision quest to become the leader of kin and is on the verge of creating a panacea.

They even failed to capture a sense of impending doom. It's day 11 and I still have my tulpa wife chilling by the pool and children playing in the foyer. The soldiers are playing cards and only a single district is on fire.
>>

>>731211352
Doing some solid work, anon. If you manage to get her in proper working order, funny bits, rigged, etc., will you upload it somewhere?
>>
>>731211471
To be fair, to get the Fiasco ending you only need to have missed one specific thing which is learning about the Polyhedron's underground spike, at least I'm pretty sure that's the case.

It is not that you are attracted, but that you are so attached to the earthly image you've become a mere slave to your eyes. Real cooming has nothing to do with flesh and veins, nor polygons and textures, but with the image of hot Pathologic characters deep inside your soul. If you look inward, there's a naked Eva model already there.

If you restart the same day you don't spend any amalgam, so you probably should at least attempt to finish every quest on a particular day before moving on. You'll be jumping around quite a bit later on in the game no matter what.

>>731226181
Both, but restarting costs nothing, so it's easier to get that day taken care of first.

Is there a Pathologic 3 artbook or something?
>>
>>731202848
I always have my inventory full of everything and I barely buy anything or use the lab. Don't loot all crates you see on the first run. You can only store so much on the clocks (the bottom row of your inventory will get deleted) but untouched loot crates remain there when you repeat the day. I usually do on the first run of a day the sand plague first since I need health and matches there, and then I can repeat the day as many times as I want for the other quests without barely needing items. I usually have like 10 health bottles anyway, so I just go full sonic and chug the health I have left after fighting the pest first. If you want to be extra cheesy you can also do the skip bug on riot and pest districts. Killing and looting rioters is an easy source of loot though, and every time I did it I got my bullet back, you just need to do it with a mania source nearby because killing makes you sad :(

About the false Shabnak / green bonfires:
Clara tells me its' a 50% chance if, but it doesn't feel that way at all.
Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I've spent several stacks of matches lighting these stupid bonfires and I get the right one, maybe 1 in 10 times.
>>
>>731226034
Don't lie to us,
but more importantly anon,
don't lie to yourself.
>>
>>731228156
Depends how you're doing it - it's explained that one chases you and one flees, so it's possible you just keep getting chased by the fake?
It seemed pretty balanced to me - close to 50% the real one was the first I encountered. There was only one day where I couldn't find the real one, so just changed districts and immediately found it.
>>
>>731228156
I only saw green Shab once.
>>
>>731228156
without leaving the district?
it's a coin flip whether the one that chases you or runs away is the real one, but they don't switch each time you light a fire or anything. if the fire is green you HAVE to look for the one running away, or else you can leave and try your luck next time (which can be immediately).

that aside it felt like the chaser was the real one maybe 60% of the time for me so I think it's probably fair.
>>
>>731228156
They don't randomly switch. It's following you. Reroll the day until you get a large infected district, fry the swampwitch, then sprint to the opposite corner of the map.
>>
>>731228497
i think the runner tries to keep a fixed distance so there's no need for any of that.
if you don't want to cheese it by re-entering just use an entrance on a narrow part of a map, light the nearest bonfire and wait. since the runner can't be outside the map, you can sprint past the burning one once you've confirmed it's fake and it'll probably be burrowing right in front of you.

not that even that's necessary, since waiting near the entrance anywhere is already seriously limiting where it can be in most cases. pretty much every time I had to run I found it within a couple seconds, and you can be confident it's the right one in that case because the burning animation ties up the fake for a fairly long time.

>>
>>731228156
you are getting some retarded advice, you can literally go in and out from the same district, light the first fire you see and wait to see if its the real one, if it isn't just leave and return or try another district, I'm kinda hoping they do something about this in new patches because right now I don't have much incentive to run around like an blind idiot with the fucking plague filter, it just feels like a fucking chore

For me, almost every kid had one for trade so it was pretty easy.
Try changing your decrees for the day so you have minimal infection (even if unrest goes through the roof, you can always change it back later) so that more districts with trading kids are available, and check all of them.

I don't think so. There are certain characters whose lives are mutually exclusive. At a bare minimum, you have to pick between Artemy and Oyun. Block and Lara MIGHT also be like that, but I think saving Lara is just bugged.

That part was very confusing and needs improvement badly. Basically once you find her wooden puzzle thing on the ground, you need to do the concentration minigame again and go through the various options until Daniil finally notices the puzzle on the ground, only then you'll actually unlock the map marker and be able to progress.

You're supposed to be able to get the Rat Prophet's "help", but the quest is apparently severely bugged. I haven't even started it, so I'm not sure. Either way, I think that just allows both to survive.

She's powerless, so no political fuckery, and she's neither PC's Bound, so there's little thematic relevance.
I also disagree with you, especially with the qualifier "between". Eva in 2 would be an example of a character that gets practically nothing. Anna gets a dedicated quest chain in both games.

>>731239425
varies depending on the thing, they aren't all of equal importance. you'd have to route it out to be "optimal". plus you didn't really say what you want to optimise for.
anything you can change by rewinding the same day always is but that's obvious.
and then it turns into an increasing clusterfuck from day 7-11 anyway, where you kinda need to go forward to know what to go back for.
just go by vibe imo.
>>
why can't i rat out Grief to the inquisition on day 7 so the little nigger doesn't steal the rations?
>>
>>731239425
It's more optimal to reset the same day over and over until you have everything "done" that you can, then go to the next day, and to not time-travel backwards until you hit a major roadblock, like running out of days.
>>

Kinda disappointed that IPL, for all their fancypants artfaggotry, are not doing much with narrative interactivity. For a game with a very explicit focus on time convolutions, it doesn't go much futher than a-wink-and-a-nudge dialogue yet? haven't beaten the game. Had the same issue with P2 actually, none of the infected NPCs had anything unique to say, neither regarding their affliction nor how they were cured.
Sure, now there are quests designed around looping back, but most still have that plausible deniability of taking place in linear time. And that's boring, I want to ramble about causality and amalgam to everybody, and not just Mark and Eva. For once, Bachelor can throw Changeling off-balance thanks to rewinds, but he barely bothers to. If there's ever a time heh to be mean with quest logs and objectives, it's now, but Saburovs' happenning seems to be the only one that doesn't just scream HEY BTW IF YOU WANT TO PREVENT THIS THEN REWIND in the mind map.

P.S. Music is also surprisingly lame, timeout mise en scene and shabnak fight are like the only tracks of note. And how they butchered broken heart theme, awful, worse than Andrey could ever butcher a man.

How is it gameplay wise? I played the demo a bit but didn't fully grasp how it worked, mainly with the device or the apathy and mania bar. don't know if the actual game explains it better.
Also how come they redesigned Eva?

If you slide into apathy you'll move slower, passively lose amalgam (time shenanigans fuel) and attempt to end it all if gets too low. Mania makes you move faster but you'll lose health while in a manic state.
You can maniuplate both with drugs, environment interactions and dialog choices. Blowing your brains out because someone made fun of you brooch is a genuine threat.
Danil also naturally trends towards apathy, so you need to keep his mood up by kicking trash cans and insulting degreeless steppe peasants.

Speaking of, I'm disappointed that the writing team was too incompetent to properly ride the line on the supernatural stuff.

I wish that were the case, but running around playing Six Seances at Simon's has too much of an effect to be a fabrication of the mind. And it's far from the only thing that's explicitly real.
Wonders beyond reconing should exist, but they've made them too easy to recon, thus mundane.

P2 was just as bad in that regard, I don't care either way about this point but really it's only Pathologic Classic (and not even all of it) that has a more mundane feel to it.

is pathologic 3 anywhere near as good as 2? i've read some concerning things and i didn't really like the demo I played months ago, I thought they made the levels far too small, would've made more sense if they'd been broken up into bigger chunks, like the bridges could be the dividers maybe (though for all i know this is what the full game did)

>>731287238
all the female characters (the real ones, the bound etc) have unique models with different topology

herb brides have only 1 mesh with 6 different variant textures (some of which also have dirty versions i think)

regular people are a mix of clothing and heads obviously
female patients only have one nude body obviously

i didn't look at any men, who cares about male characters

>>731287427
it's great but it's different. i was skeptical of the changes but it turns out it's still really good even if it's not what i would have considered a 'pathologic game' really.
maps are probably the size you're talking about, but that (and the fast travel, something else i was skeptical of) turn out to be something you'll appreciate because there's SO MUCH shit to do each day that you're zipping all over the place to get to the next event. and since the survival elements are basically gone, it's not like walking around has any tension or cost in and of itself.

oh you meant the same between 2 and 3
i didn't look heavily into that (only eva) but i think you're basically correct
most of her model is nearly identical but the UVs are completely redone with higher res textures (and more of them for the new skin shading)

so i'm sure characters that look similar probably basically are, although they've been technically reworked a fair bit (personally the new texture/normal/SS/etc looks like it represent more worth than changing the models just for the sake of it would have been, but i'm not a professional character artist).

there's usually a shitload of mirrors in the maw, and i think they reset more frequently when you amalgam is low.
and I forget if day 10 is the one with a bunch of mirrors piled in that little gazebo at the very tip of the cape, if it is you could probably keep resetting that quest forever?
if you have rubin's smoothie on your nightstand that's also an option.

the euthanasia minigame is a trap, don't do it unless you have a million shitty blue drugs (ie valerian, the morphine that you're tolerant to kills normal people) handy or you feel like breaking all your vessels

also if you can make it back to day 3 or whatever, making a promise to yulia is probably the easiest legit way to farm amalgam.
it gives 100 amalgam just from talking to her, you don't even need to get rejected by the kaines. then you can just reset and fast travel back since her house is right by an entrance.

of course if you're gonna cheese that shit you might as well just use the "restore_timelife" console command and save yourself ten minutes

both men were me, i am double good

rubin's smoothie does the exact same thing as the restore_timelife command: repairs all vessels and grants full amalgam.
(anon says you can also exit to menu immediately after drinking it and use it infinitely btw)

i think amalgam is basically a fake pressure since mirrors seem to reset faster when you get low. I spent like 10 hours playing with only 2 vessels for certain reasons and never ran out due to this. but i understand not wanting to completely abuse it.

It's random, although districts which can't spawn a shabnak can't spawn a cabbage either.
Easiest way is just to start at the first day and work forward. A combination of clearing the infection focus and minimum-effort decrees can keep infection (and unrest) at zero for the whole game so you'll only ever have one infected district to check.

Decrees are also instant the moment you set them, even retroactive ones, so you can also stack your strongest ones temporarily, ignoring unrest, to get it down low enough to isolate a single district. Then kill >shabman and change it back.

Not really, you can always come back to the day and do it later.
There's only one thing in the game that can fuck you over permanently, and this isn't it.
As for the focus: the door only opens from a specific time.

>Also in which infected districts should I look for the flower?
Other replies give good advice, you also hear a heartbeat sound if the district you're in has a flower. I think it's supposed to get louder the closer you get, but for me that didn't seem to be the case.

It's not a survival game anymore, so don't play it with that mindset.

you need to go back to get an "eva is dead in the past" thought in addition to the "eva is dead in the present" one.
then return to day 10 and the caretaker should be standing over you in bed jerking off onto your eyebrows, this starts the resurrection quest.
according to some accounts you may need to do the simon's focus on day 9 thing first.
i've heard other anons say something about avoiding seeing her on day 11 but i don't know if that matters.

Well, finally just finished after getting miracle seeker ending. My low expectations are now a thousand fragments of low expectations - and from those fragments there's a game that truly is a miracle.
I think P2 was definitely a tighter experience - the stress it forces on you forces you to experience the narrative a very specific way I feel, that probably most players experience similarly.
But I always found P2's actual writing to be... uninspired by comparison to P1, the characters felt more like real people, but lost a lot of what made them compelling in P1 for me. P1 felt like every character was written to reflect a different philosophy, P2 just felt like people who occasionally reference philosophy.
P3 restored what I felt P2 lacked in that regard. I really looked forward to engaging more with all the characters and seeing how they'd react to developments.
I'm stunned by how well they implemented the time travel system and how it feels like the ultimate evolution of the thought web introduced in P2 - which I still think is the best approach to a quest journal in any game I've played. It's also another miracle that the game is as stable as it is despite its complexity - none of the progression bugs I encountered were game breaking or even that annoying, and have already all been addressed in updates.
I think my biggest criticism is that for me, the last few days started to feel like a bit of a chore - the main story was still great, but the side quests felt pretty tedious and started to remind me of P1 in a bad way.
Despite 2 being a tighter experience, I genuinely feel 3 is IPL's masterpiece - I'm glad it seems to have sold better than 2 so far.
The part of me that wanted to nuke the town and save the polyhedron wishes that IPL would get the credit they deserve for this. The part of me that ended up destroying a miracle to save the town accepts that as a studio they seem to always end up returning to the same state after each release. And maybe that's ok.

it only really becomes a problem late game when you have to start hopping around days
>>
So, the only ways to get the children out of the polyhedron on day 11 are letting the rat prophet do a reverse pied piper or by having khan not cage himself?
>>
>>731309082
Also, I was kind of hoping to come to the end of P3 with a different perspective on events than I had the end of P2.
One of the most impressive things about P1 which made it such a memorable experience, was that at the end of the Bachelor path I was convinced destroying the town and saving the polyhedron was the right thing to do. Then I played Haruspex and at the end of his path I was kinda shocked by my actions as Bachelor and came to the complete opposite conclusion - destroying the polyhedron was absolutely the right thing to do. (Clara's ending had no impact for me and felt like a waste of time).
I can't really see any way in which saving the polyhedron could ever really be a consideration if you assemble all the facts in 2 and 3. Artemy has no real connection to the utopians so has zero motivation to save it.
Bachelor obviously has a much greater connection to that side, but the game shows him to care deeply for his patients (which P1 never did, he just comes across as an egotistical academic as I recall).
I also felt that P3 pretty strongly portrays the Kains as the bad guys more so than any of the other games. Their decisions aren't really given any moral justification. Georgiy in particular felt like he was portrayed as a zealot, and it felt like Simon was portrayed as something of a madman.
I think those interpretations existed in P1, but I felt the point was made a lot more deliberately in P3.
>>
by end I wanted to save the polyhedron not because I cared about it but because the entire town and its inhabitants deserve to be shelled

I want to say it's because you play as Artemy in P2, versus Daniil Dankovsky, philosophiae doctor in P3.
But I only played the Bachelor route in 1, did the old Haruspex route also have that level of writing ?
>>
>>731309082
>>731309753
Final thought - I didn't enjoy Quarantine that much. Because of the limitations of it being a demo, I feel it did a poor job of showcasing the time travel mechanics and it felt like the end result was going to be very different from what the final experience was.
But like many others I was most put off by the fast travel - it felt like undermining the core of what a pathologic game is to some degree.
Having finished 3 now I'm so fucking glad they forced fast travel's inclusion. Beating 3 took me about the same amount of time it took to bear all three routes of P1, and about the same as two playthroughs of P2.
I definitely would have had to put the game down for a few days/weeks without that fast travel.
If anything, the game probably has slightly too much content - and one flaw of the fast travel system is there's basically no pacing to the narrative. There are some great moments in the second half of the game, but you have to start jumping through so many hoops to get things right that the narrative and stakes start to take a backseat to some degree. I'm not sure there's any way to mitigate that because of the way they implemented time travel though.

Do you really want to know? It's best to experience it for yourself because it's tied to a great questline.
It's not unavoidable or unfair or anything like that, you'll get plenty of warnings when you encounter it.

Yes - the writing is consistent between Bachelor and Haruspex in 1 I'd say.
I have also considered that Artemy's character is obviously more suited to more direct and straightforward dialogue, but then looking at it that way, it feels like all the Mark Immortell and Tragedian stuff doesn't match that perspective.
And despite Dankovsky having been such a stuck up arsehole in P1 and still getting some fun dialogue options to that effect in P3 - his character ends up being far more relatable and genuine in P3 than Artemy in P2 imo.

It's been 7 years since I played P1 so I don't remember that well - but I don't recall Bachelor ever learning the truth about what's causing the plague in his path?
My recollection is that he basically just learns about Simon's plan and it's much easier to think, 'well, the town's clearly fucked anyway so may as well mercy kill it and invest in a miracle'.
I don't recall him ever learning that Artemy's panacea really works or how it could be created en-masse, or the stuff about the spike penetrating the town's heart.
Also P1 Bachelor barely speaks with anyone other than the utopians, so I felt he kind of viewed the actual town as backward, dirty, and not worth preserving.
>>
>>731311646
When I think back to P1 Bachelor I always just think of the map of the town and how the sketch on the back evolves throughout the playthrough, which makes it look like the polyhedron is simon's chrysalis, and that his new town is growing within the polyhedron ready to disperse to the other side of the Gorkhon, and that it's like an embryo sapping the life from the old town.
I don't remember him being aware that the plague is caused by the discarded blood pooling under the town, even if he had some awareness that the kin believed the town to be built on a giant mythical bull.

I didn't put that much thought into it since I'm not done with the game yet (Day 10), but I find myself agreeing with most of these points.
The writing might the best yet, and the new mechanics (patient diagnosis, mania/apathy balance) makes sense for the Bachelor.
But the Town traversal definitely feels less thought out than in 2.
In 2 it ties in naturally with the ressource management aspects: will you pay a ferry coin to save on time? Or will you run through town and hope to find some treasures in a thrascan?
In 3, outside of your daily shabnak hunt you rarely have a reason to be outside at all, and infected /rioting districts aren't much of an obstacle to Town traversal. I'd argue that from a gameplay perspective not much would change if you could teleport from location to location.
But then you'd lose out on the interaction with the townpeople and seeing your decrees being applied...

It's also nice to see that Pathologic threads still have a high level of discussion and quality posts after all these years, even if the threads are getting slower now. I came back to /v/ specifically to see the Pathologic threads after the game release, nowadays I stay far away from this cesspool of a board.

>>731311978
it's been years, but from what I remember playing The Void: the early game is a miserable experience where you're trying to grasp the mechanics and don't have enough color to really do anything. The it gets better in the middle/late game.
>>
>>731311978
Depends what you define as 'early game', but personally I enjoyed the first half of P3 a lot more than the second half once the novelty of the mechanics had kinda worn off. Once you unlocked full time travel, I deliberately wanted to fuck around and be as non linear as possible, so did like Day V>VI>VIII>VII>II>III>IV>IX>X and didn't repeat any days until I couldn't progress behind Day X. Doing that, and then going back to sequentially fix each day was the best part of the game for me. By the time I got back to do Day IX>X>I>XI>XII, I was starting to find the game a bit tedious. Day I was fantastic though, and I really liked the Polyhedron sequence.

Well, they are all very different interpretations, no? Original game had 3 routes to compare and contrast, which is how you get
>save the polyhedron
>save the town
>save both, at a price
>save nothing, bad end
P2 follows the same overall plot progression, but there is a big thematic difference to the conclusion. Miracles and monsters come hand in hand, while mundane human lives are stuck in between them. Haruspex will always "save the town", but what exactly that means for those who live there is the real important part.
P3 is way more different in every aspect, but again, it's a whole new angle. We see more of Kains' keikaku that Bachelor was privy to in P1, more pieces on the board (actors in the play?) for once. Bachelor was never actually committed to the utopia (in the Kain way), and was most shaken by THE CHILDREN, which is why he is ready to blow the polyhedron up in P3. His priorities are very different.
>>
>>731312980
DD and Persona fans were stockholm syndrome'd into loving the same 4 lines because they had to endure them for a hundred fucking hours. Not only is Pathologic shorter, not letting the problem set in, but also has the expectation of a slow atmoshperic game. This new one is way more dense, text-wise, so you hear other people more often, and Dankovsky himself does not let the silence sit.
A good line constantly repeated kinda loses its gravitas, does it not? Grief's aphorisms are all the more special due to how rarely you talk to him.

You have fagmind. I'm afraid it's terminal. He's a surgeon, which famously have to be very dexterous and steady to not cripple their patients forever.
