I barely had time to play in the past few weeks, but finally finished my first run yesterday. Now I don't need to avoid threads anymore, I hope I'm not too late to the party.
For starters, can we all agree that diurnal ending > nocturnal ending?
Except for the part with the devs on the polyhedron, that was hilarious.

Of course. Diurnal is literally everything I've been working for throughout the whole game. Wasn't about to throw away all my efforts for the sake of some kinniggers and literal monsters.

I didn't take the deal, is it true you can't get either of the endings if you take it? Or is it just a "you cheated not only the game, but yourself" moment?

Correct. If you take the deal you can still “beat the game” but the “something” you promised to give him is a decent ending. You automatically get the bad end no matter how well you did.

Is there no super-duper secret meta ending this time?
I managed to save all the children on my list and did the diurnal and nocturnal endings, I assume if you don't save all the bound from your list you don't get either of those endings.
Did someone already manage to save ALL bound on their playthrough?

Where?

Playing Pathologic HD for the very first time, I never played the game before. What are some must know things about the game? Can I go exploring about or do I really have to keep in mind the time limit? Do I just go from one house to the next as indicated by dialogue and such? Are there secrets in the world that I can come across and not be utterly befuddled by?

They're on one of the Stairways to Heaven near the Theatre.

saving anyone doesn't matter, even if you managed to save all the npcs it doesnt change anything apart from the fact you can talk to them in diurnal ending

How to get gud? I never found a rifle or fully upgraded my inventory, never made any panacea, never saved any babies, spent more time slapping my gun than actually shooting it because I can never get enough upgrade parts

Ignore guns. They’re a meme meant to waste the time and money of players who try to play it as an FPS. Just get a knife or two, keep them sharp, and use any depleted lockpicks as one-shot shivs on hard enemies.

>I never found a rifle
Neither did I, I bought the pistol on day 1 but never used it. You can also get a sweet shotgun from grief once he's moved to the cathedral, but you can get by without it.
>fully upgraded my inventory
first two upgrades are a must, but after that getting upgrade materials is a bitch. Try to be more efficient in your inventory management.
>never saved any babies
It's a sweet boost to reputation and ressources, but not always worth the risk. (or you can just savescum to know in which room the baby is, and then rush in and out of the infected house).

Don't worry that much, none of these things are really essent...
>never made any panacea
I'm sorry emshen, you're never gonna make it.
But seriously, what day are you on? I can understand missing out on the occasion to make panacea before day 7, but if you already visited the abbatoir you really, really should know what to do with all that living blood. You DID scavenge a sizeable amount of blood in the abbatoir, right?

I'd recommend playing as bachelor for your first playthrough, he has an easier, albeit slower, start than haruspex.
>Can I go exploring about or do I really have to keep in mind the time limit?
You get one main quest each day that you absolutely have to complete before the day is over. Most sidequest of the day are somehow related to it, but they're all optional, so you only lose potential rewards if you don't complete them. Time flies, so ideally, you'll want to plan your route as efficiently as possible when going from one objective to the next. For example, take a longer detour to the main objective, so that you can do a side objective on the way. At the same time, use your time walking around the town to loot trashcans on your path and barter with people in the street. (theres is a LOT of walking, in case you haven't heard).

Other tips:
>keep at least one permanent save for the beggining of each day
>Don't throw away the trash you find, most of it can be used to trade with people in the street (especially children), which ends up being way cheaper than buying stuff in stores.
>combat is notoriously shitty, but that's just part of the experience. Enemies hit hard and fast, and you really can't afford to lose much health. Try walking backwards while facing them, they'll leave themselves wide open.
>rats will make your life miserable. There is no shame in fleeing.
>go in blind and don't savescum too much (except for one or two notorius bullshit segments, you'll know what I mean when you get there)

>But seriously, what day are you on?
I finished the game and seemed to have utterly failed at it. Didn't even reach day 12, the theatre director told me I'm complete shit and that they are getting another actor

No, just a couple will trigger the next Thought, if I remember correctly. Maybe even just one? I made a few but I don’t think I ever tested more than two.

I had to make and test three, but the objective didn't update instantly, so maybe the game checks how many you tested at fixed intervals. Seems that either two or three are required.

Is this alphyna?

Ok im a retard, how do i do some stuff in act 4?
How do i save Grave (graveyard keeper)? The only choice i see is to let rat eat corpses, and im told to "go to pile of dead people and listen" but nothing happens
Is it completely irrelevant which vlad to send/not send anyone to the big structure? Seems to make fuckall difference

>accept the plague so murky wont be in danger
>get infected
>think holy shit, so the whole game has riled you up about the plague, wonder how it'll play out
>accidentaly touch some fire caused by an arsonist
>it's fucking gone
God damn it this shouldn't have been this easy to solve

You only have to complete main quest on the first day, right? There is no game over for failing main quest on subsequent days I think?

Attached: 15601867248663.jpg (1920x1080, 83K)

Don’t let the rat do what he wants. Go to the pile of dead bodies and walk around while looking down — eventually you’ll see a “Speak To” prompt. Do that, then go back to Grace. Do NOT burn the bodies. The “correct” choice here is to do absolutely nothing.

It’s explicitly said at least a few times that the plague fears light and fire. Your lamp can disperse Black Plague clouds and fire kills it.

There isn't.
However failing main quests will put certain NPCs in danger which means you may fuck up later due to those NPCs being important.

Also, each NPC infected makes it harder to get the true ending and true true ending.

Don't know if there are other ways, but I had the rat eat the corpses, Grace was fine after that.
And I don't think either Vlad is related to any quest in the last days, so it only changes which one is alive in the ending. (though there is a way to keept them both alive).

Correct, but it's really in your best interest to complete all the main quests, otherwise your bound get infected and you risk getting locked out of the proper ending. It's not even a good ending/bad ending kind of thing, your character simply doesn't get invited to the last decisionmaking.

Huh i tried doing nothing but didn't know about "speak", even though i made circles like some african shaman. When i tried to just do nothing she died on day 9

I was more arguing about the fact that it's too easy to get rid of from yourself gameplaywise, I know the lore connotations

Is there any lore on Sanguinis Africanum?

Attached: 20190524204826_1.jpg (1920x1080, 294K)

It wasn’t that easy when I got infected, had low health and no healing items, so running into fire would’ve cured the plague but also killed me.

i tasted two, you should at least test two organs if you want to save rubin

Attached: 1457128824236.webm (562x580, 43K)

i mean, buying the bull is good, but the way of resolving the termitiery thing is as follows. Oyun tell you to go there, but you have to wait, I think you're supposed to visit it on day 7. You go through the main entrance, and talk to aglaya. You then go up and talk to teecheek and she tells you she wont be leaving alone. Go down and talk to the bunch of kin standing around the pit. They want blood of vlads AND that you prove yourself. You can tell them "no" and that you don't want bloodshed. You can say that you don't want to kill the apostate worms, then you go to oyun (he should be in your house if you given it to him) and he tells kin only listen to violence but you can say to him that it's no the right path. If you want to save both vlads talk to fat vlad first, then to clara inside his house, then to fat vlad again. This way you won't have to send any of the two vlads.

It gets comfy on 2nd playthrough and beyond, when you know what to do.

Yep. She wrote about it in her twitter.

have some copypasta i wrote for improving settings:

Here are some technical fixes I managed to find online that night help with the game’s poor optimalization:

steamcommunity.com/app/505230/discussions/4/1653297026044456968/ This fix manages npc’s AI range, meaning they will travel smaller distances and their walking animations will trigger from smaller distances (you will need to get closer to them)
I haven’t personally tested this, but some might find it useful.

steamcommunity.com/app/505230/discussions/4/1653297026032363521/ official tips for fighting some performance issues

Third tip is making the game use more of your RAM. Because, get this, pathologic 2 only uses 1 gb of your ram by default. THIS ALWAYS RESETS AFTER A NEW PATCH ISNTALLED, SO YOU NEED TO CHANG THE RAM SETTINGS EVERY TIME A NEW PATCH COMES. Here what you need to do: Go to C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Ice-Pick Lodge\Pathologic 2\Settings

Right-click on the file called ExternalOptimizationSettings and click “edit”

Scroll down till you see settings called “SmartAllockMemoryStrategy”

You will see Max and Min Memory. We want to change the MaxMemory values, which should be set to 1000000000 by default (1gb of ram) and change it depending on your available ram. I have 16 gb of it, so I changed the settings to 13000000000 (13 gb of ram)

This is by far the most crucial settings to change, the game will run smoother, will smaller loading times. I haven’t tinkered with the other settings because I don’t want the game to do thing like, I dunno, messing up my memory allocation or anything. But the SmartAllockMemoryStrategy values seem to work fine and there doesn’t seem to be any RAM leakage after closing the game, so this solution works

Attached: 1560379710696.gif (639x428, 2.68M)

woah

i booted up patho 2 after patch 4 and it ran like utter shit so i was kinda worried that it messed up the game but then i checked back the memoryalloc settings and it just reverted them back to 1gb, so i yea i dunno how this shit works honestly, it's just something i managed to gather from looking to better performance. I also play on fast graphical settings just so i have stable framerate of about 45-50 fps

>pathologic 2 only uses 1 gb of your ram by default
Are you fucking serious?
My FPS literally jumped from 50 to 70.
Thanks user but what the fuck.

Attached: 1553706513422.gif (450x402, 839K)

you're welcome! There's all the other settings there too, but the tip i read long time ago only mentioned the SmartAllockMemoryStrategy values, so i was kinda sacred of touching anything else because i don't want patho 2 to create, i dunno, a memory leak on my computer or anything. Some user said that even after you change the settings and you check your task manager it still uses 1 gb, so SmartAllockMemoryStrategy is probably responsible for something like better redistribution of ram? I dunno, so weird, but it works

Either that or giving him some tech-oriented ways of healing people, probably vaccines will also take place later on since it was his shtick in the first game

Does anything interesting happens if you finish the game with no deaths?

when you think of it, it is kinda strange honestly, especially given the fact he worked on Thanatica, a failed projected backed by the government where he wanted to defeat death. Maybe he just wants to do it.... via science ways? I dunno

yes

A shitton of proverbs including stuff from classic literature and folklore, characters in the game basically speak in literary quotes, part of why it makes so little sense. I figure tons of literary callbacks are lost as well.

Don't worry about it though, even russians don't give a shit about it. Last time I tried finding a comprehensive list of references in the game the only thing that turned up was some vk blog of a random russian chick sharing her findings, with people in the comments calling her schizo for looking too deep into it.

Why is it that surprising that he changes his mind after spending many days in the town?
>meets worms
>experiences how supernatural the infection is
>meets Albino
>realizes the whole mistress thing actually exists
>has Yulia talk to him about the Kain building experiments
>has the Kains explain what Foci and their research on souls is about
>can see the Kains change their personalities
>gets Polyhedron blueprints
>enters the polyhedron
>meets the powers that be
>finds Eva in the Cathedral
It's only normal he accepts the crazy stuff going on in the town after all that

I really do not like it in the original, I hope that they will fix it in the remake. Considering also possible remarks in dialogues about belief in ghosts and astrology, this creates the impression that he is a rationalist only by name - but he is still considered by all as one.

because he's a nerd thats why and not a real surgeon

Source?

i think they might change it, given how they changed haruspex, because in every interaction he's kinda reluctant towards the steppe lore himself, unlike in the first game. He stated himself he stopped believing so much into the kin lore after he studied "real" medicine, so he's a bit on the fence regarding the whole situation

some russian user said it's originally a kid's way of making a riddle, doesn't matter much

ps4 when

ive noticed day 2 is the most time constrained day , because you need to have it measured in minutes if you want to go visit all the caches and do the quests like fixing the lamp or summon the train

My guess was they meant soles, not shoes. A person is one sole (soul), and one shoe has an in-sole and out-sole which are different colors. But that seemed like too much thinking to be right.

stsientia>skientia

>fixing the lamp
That can still be done later though.

yeah the first 2 days are quite comfy, since there aren't lots of missions and you're just supposed to familiarize with the game, the town and the NPCs, but honestly I don't think I would play it again as calmly as I did in the first playthrough knowing that everything goes to shit the day after.

but you miss out on the kids dialogue

So yea i tried just about anything, sniffed feet of every corpse in the pile and no one would talk to me. Can't find a way to burn bodies either and if i just do nothing Grace dies, so i guess i feed the raat and see how it goes

So long as you fix it before talking to Khan there, which is on day 4, you're not missing anything. Even then it's just one line of dialogue that he doesn't even have a unique response for.

Clara gets all the sweet lez options, including getting her dirty hands on Lara. Bachelor gets to... feel euphoric in the company of drunks and tripping intellectuals or something.

you need to walk around the bottom edge of the pile, it doesnt pop up right away

which part is bottom?

>cancer incarnate lezzing out with lunatics
T-Thanks...

near the graveyard door

khan doesnt have to be there too, in fact, he shouldn't be if skip "house of death" on day 3 quest, he won't leave polyhedron therefore you save on schmowders and tinctures to boost his immunity

FYI the pile of bodies there is bugged since the latest patch. There is a cuboid invisible wall above it and you can't reach the interaction prompts. Already told the devs on their discord, others confirme what I experienced. Before the patch you could freely walk around on top of it. At this point all you can do is

>leave her to die there

Regarding the tinctures that I have to make by mixing them with infected organs - can I give it to one of my adherents as propylaxis to make them not fall ill for that day (the infected brain one I heard is really effective at raising immunity) or is it just better to use them to heal random people?

Will it progress the questline if I use them for propylaxis anyway?

anyone?

those are antibiotics not tinctures

I'm pretty sure that won't work because they're infection reducers, not immunity boosters, but I'm not answering until I'm sure.

use plus tinctures, like YAAAS+, but the best one for it is zurh plus because it only lowers thirst, which is easiest to come by

So, I should probably use them on people laying around in infected districts then? Gotcha.

question about the dreams, to get the achievement do you need to see the dreams and continue playing, or can you witness the dream and reload the save? The Murky dream requires you to let her be infected, so could i technically allow this to happen, get the dream and reload the save?

Plus only sorta raise immunity though, for example Andrei just got infected which is another shmowder down for me (thankfully I just got an extra from the dead shop).

Also, entering burned out districts in this one is like rolling the death dice, you'll be swarmed by four people in no time. And finally fuck whoever told me not to buy the revolver, it's actually really useful in certain situations.

>This game is not comfy at all.
Its not intended to be.
This game and the Void/Turgor are suppose to be stressful in order to align the gameplay with the story themes.

>It's not fair, she used to be such a cutie and now she looks like a cancer patient
The funny part is that if you took that model's from your pic rel hair away, she'd look sorta similar to Clara in 2.

if you continue pressing C there's a good chance you won't be spotted, plus it's safer to loot infected houses since you can reload from being infected, but you can't reload death debuffs after 10 looters shank you to dearth outta nowhere. Also don't think there's an item that raises the immunity boost more than the plus tinctures, so you just gotta hope for good rolls

>but you can't reload death debuffs after 10 looters shank you to dearth outta nowhere
Always have health that's high (or some bandages to fix it at your hideout if needed) and just reload if three or more jump you.

Come to think of it, they really fucked up hard by letting you save and reload as freely as you can, if being able to just randomly reload before death was nerfed somehow the game would be a fucking nightmare, in a kinda positive yet masochistic sense.

Yeah, you don't even get the option to administer mystery brews to uninfected people. If you get a good batch made by day 5 you can potentially get a lot of progress done treating people in the theater. It's the daily task and an infected district, so you're getting three things done all at once.

Attached: 20190616124657_1.jpg (1920x1080, 187K)

yea i usually reload when health reaches halfway point, just saying it's technically much safer to loot infected houses than the post-infection ones

Tinctures [herb + water] will increase immunity
Antibiotic [infected body part + tincture] reduce infection
Painkillers [uninfected body part + tincture] reduce pain.

I think you'd need to play through to the end.

HOOK AND PULL

So I heard there's this method of removing the plague where you walk into the fire, take damage and it leaves you as a cloud.
Did they remove it?
I can't do it on any type of fire, even when standing on top of a fire barrel, I get no damage at all.

I think it's meant to be from the molotovs that the arsonists throw.

Maybe it has something to do with the darkness you see when you're in danger just before you actually get infected.

>this is what the Yea Forums "SOUL" meme should be about.
but it's a about pixelated graphics

I didnt visit Aspity's place at night on day 2, did I fuck up?

not really
so the barrels get destroyed one way or another?

Ah, we finally can have threads again now that the E3 shitfest has died down.

Yeah, I know that's one way to complete the quest. I'm asking if there's any benefit to doing that over skipping the quest. You protect the district just the same by doing nothing.

it's just a side quest to depress you even more.

1) Sell organs. On day 1 you can FOLLOW AND CUT bags' worth of them even without going out of your way to murder everyone. You can even find a creepy park near the Lump, marked by a murder of crows flying over it for extra organs

2) Sell jewelry and watches - whenever you trade or find them, do not trade them with the townsfolk but rather sell them to shopkeepers. The watch alone costs like 700 wooden ones.

Selling organs to Var [anytime]
Selling pocket watches/steppe jewellery in stores [Days 3-8]

Collect herbs and sell whatever's popular at the pub.
Or chop up muggers and sell organs to Var.
I also grab whatever watches or jewelry the Dead Item shop has to sell at shops.

For me the biggest income was the fund reward, you can get 3000 to 5000 each day if you complete the hospital tasks and have good reputation.

>selling herbs
Is it me or was their price increased since release, from double to triple value? still a shit deal imho, you're better off brewing tinctures

Also they seem to have fixed the whack fatigue restoration on Medrel+. Was fun while that lasted

Also, be careful when selling items to shops. Some places will try to rip you off by lowering the price. Never sell anything at the Shady Shop, for example.

It was always 150 for the low tier herbs.

No she doesn't. Let them take her and she makes friends with Peter. Whether he's dead or alive.

In any other game, this sentence would not have made any sense

If the intent here is to follow a Soulsian “hard is good” philosophy and apply it to the survival genre, this is misplaced. Souls games are about reaction, movement, and practice. You can’t practice finding a piece of bread. If the intent is only to keep the player feeling oppressed, strapped for time, exhausted, hungry and weary, well, that doesn’t mean I won’t also resent having to spend so much time doing the most boring species of meter-management in what could have been a captivating mystery.

Hunger is the worst offender. You can enter abandoned houses and loot them, or even burglarise “healthy” houses. But there’s never any food in the kitchens. There are abandoned houses and free beds everywhere, but you can only sleep in some of them. Put all this together with the samey character models and the clumsy combat, and Pathologic 2 starts to feel less like an interesting failure and more like a budget Skyrim

The world is worth uncovering, it’s just far too much of a slog to play. Consider letting someone else play it for you on Twitch or YouTube. It’s a world everyone should experience, at least for a short while, but being the driver is absolutely the worst part of this otherwise thrilling ride.

I wonder if it's because it's uncomfortable. It is a stressful game to play (in as much as a video game can be stressful) and you can quickly fall into issues due to some problems. It's like spinning plates; even if you can keep them all up, you'll still be struggling and worried about it as you go.

And that's forgetting the fact that, frankly, the game is utter jank it terms of mechanics and presentation. It will never appeal to normies, who must always have fun and be in control, but it also fails to attract an average "srs gaymer", whose autistic desire for perfection (ultimately stemming from the same base imperatives as the normies have) prevent him from enjoying a game where you are bound to regularly fail

That one I'm interested to see the payoff, because on day 11 when you find him in Lara's house hunting down the couriers he mentions that's the first time he's had to actually shoot his gun, contrary to the rumors.

There's a really nice comment found in RPGcodex which pretty much sums up this:
> Pathologic is the complete opposite of most other games in that it is not a power fantasy; that is the real issue complainers have about the game. You are not an ubermensch who can fight everyone they want without consequences, you can't solve everyone's problems, you can't buy everything you want, not every quest has a net benefit, you can't steal everything without consequences, information is often deliberately withheld from you, and you cannot do every quest/event in a single day. You are supposed to feel rushed, you are supposed to feel some degree of impotence, you are supposed to feel creeped out, and you are supposed to feel stress sometimes. The game wants you to feel some degree of despair.

>If you face the game like an experience to be appreciated you'll find it very enjoyable and quite novel. It is, imo, one of the best RPGs of all time and definitely by far the best RPG not in the general RPG discussion forums. If however, you face the game like spreadsheet simulator where everything must be min/maxed, you must succeed at everything you do and you take every missed event/setback/tragedy as a judgement on your own personal competence and worth as a human being; like most game reviewers; then you're going to have a bad time.

It's perfect in that way; I've been playing it for a bit most days since it came out and you're never in control. I made a ton of tinctures right on day 6/7 for example and now I've found that the water supply has suddenly become much more contracted, leaving me jealously guarding my few remaining water bottles as I try and grab more and find bowsers, even repairing stuff that I didn't before. And all because this run I thought i could game things a bit.

The thing is the game also has its saving graces and moments of respites; you have a solid three hours on day six in the afternoon if you're quick to get the infected medicine brewing done so you can get the panacea dream. It's extremely well made and balanced in that there are times of respite; but you better be doing something important in them.

Also on this playthrough I went and talked with the children at the station who told me about the Inquistor, then I went to go see Bad Grieve. I honestly thought we were going to either be arrested or even delay the Inquistor. Instead he tells me to go fuck myself and that I'm going to get hanged.

I got infected while rescuing the baby. How do you get rid of that? Infection is draining my health away and i don't have time to run around the town for bandages. Antibiotics help a little but patients also need them.

Go get burnt, snort a schmowder, take a panacea or just live with the new life within you.

>he didn't kill the whole military squadron just using lockpicks
what a fag

This game is shit Yea Forums, admit it. The hunger mechanic kills it alone, you know people can survive for weeks without food.

Shmowder, Panacea or reloading your old save.
You can also walk into arsonist's molotov then quickly use immunity boosters so you don't get infected again.

So as someone who only recently played the original and only Bachelor, was Haruspex old friends with Lara and Grief then as well?

He also admits to looting and pillaging in the same conversation

There's more than one way to skin a cat especially if you have a scalpel on hand

Then use the difficulty slider to reduce it you casual. I'm still playing with it despite thinking that because I'm not a fucking bitch. When/If Cringeling and Bachelor come out I'll drop it for them more then likely.

No, this is new in the remake. Both Lara and Grief were deeply flawed, much more so than in 2, and unkind people with little to do with Haruspex

>game is about the outbreak of a deadly plague
>story beats you over the head with how nobody suvives longer than a day after getting infected
>other characters would rather isolate infected victims than try to help them, since there's no known cure or vaccine

WHY
FUCKING WHY
I understand that people may be too stupid even to understand the in-your-face metanarration of pathologic, but this is a game where every minute you make a decision which could affect your whole run, why the fuck would you suggest to watch somebody else make these decisions??
i swear to god this is worse than not recommending the game at all

The game is fantastic and the hunger mechanic is essential for making everything rushed and adding things for you to try and control so you don't relax.

oh yeah there's no fucking way there isn't a triple digit body count between the two of you by that time, but the specific mention of the revolver and how he implies he didn't do it that one time makes me think this'll be a pretty major plot point in his scenario. Hope it's not just a basic U GOT FRAMED thing, that's already Haruspex's thing.

you find out in Clara's scenario that Grief took you for a ride, he's been orchestrating the murders the whole time and laughing at how gullible you were

>corner the market on lockpicks
>looking for patrolmen to trade for toast
>everybody has bullets instead
>have nothing else to trade because my inventory is full of picks
I made a terrible mistake.

Are you feeling like getting spoiled? If not, do not read below.

Grief was the real mastermind behind the stabbings and the murderings and in fact deeply enjoyed it

Lara is also more complex than just wanting to kill the General. She tries to save people and be of help but she has no compassion for any of them and just does it because it's a "right" thing to do, as well as as atonement for her father's crime

>can save scum treating patients
I don't know how I feel about this. Game is hard enough using up all my resources to figure out what's the infected part.
>Changeling, Aspity and Bachelor want you to leave the kid to die
>Treat him anyway
FUCK THE KIN, FUCK SCIENCE AND FUCK MIRACLES.

i mean, he DIES afterwards anyway

Well... fuck. I guess that explains why Aspity thought she was a two faced bitch. I likely won't play their routes in classic anyway, or at least for a long while so I don't mind the spoilers, plus from what little I've seen they don't seem like that anymore, given Griefs reflection a Lara not seeming to be as suicidally self sacrificing.

>savescumming
there's a reason it has the word "scum" in it
take your lumps like a man and power through. it takes like 3 pots at absolute maximum to figure out where the infected part is and you should be drowning in dank steppe weeds at this point.

>Lara
>deeply flawed

If I burn the bodies will Grace survive?
I don't really like to look up solutions for anything on the internet but I don't want her to die, she suffered enough.

Well, I took the risk when i entered that house and I can only blame myself, even thought the plague cloud suddenly blocked the exit and refused to move and the lantern did no good. It just happened that I absolutely needed the reward for the baby. Time to reload I guess

she's deeply flawed
by the bull

I like how the "thoughts" text changes if you actually savescummed.
If you did it the normal way you get something like "I can heal, I'm finally a Menkhu" but if you did it by either guessing or savescumming you get "I'm now a Menkhu, sort of".

>3+ weeks since the game's release
>still no Lara x Bull porn

Yeah but fuck those faggots. I at at least fucking tried, I wasn't going to let Notkin down if I could help it.
I have got quite a few herbs, I just haven't sat down and worked on brewing up all the tinctures. I just feel like I don't understand how identifying the infected part via the symbols well enough to hazard a guess. Is it just if all the symbols are all connected to one part of the body? Still, from now on I'll resist the urge to reload once I find the correct spot.

anons says you only need to send her away when the female comes to take her to a foster family. You can burn the bodies or feed em to the rat

Really? That's kind of neat.

>trying to cure the plague
you understand NOTHING, emshen

She was a good person, but not as good as she wanted to be. So horrible.
has no compassion for any of them[has no compassion for any of them
She doesn't say that.

Do not go gently into that good night bull fucker.

You don't even have to play the Cringeling's route to find that out. Other characters discuss her in these terms prior to that as well

Is buying protective clothing worth it? Leather boots etc are expensive and it's tempting to buy other supplies with the money

>Buying
not really. too expensive, although if you have no other place to spend money after day 7, you might as well
>using

As long as you're not naked and bumbling into plague clouds you can get by. Just keep up with equipment maintenance.

Has IPL said anything about sale numbers?
They'll be able to make the next episode, r-right?

I don't particularly trust Aspity in this. Lara speaks much less definitely than "I don't give a shit about everyone and just want to be a good girl"

So, players of both, I'm interested.
Should I go play the HD version of the original first or just jump straight ahead to 2 for the improvements to the formula and a promise of a deeper, more involving story?

I am pretty sure that she does when questioned by Clara in her route. I do not recall the exact wording though

>Finally get into the termitary
Jesus Christ, how fucking horrible; it's like a rancid, dark bloodstained hell.

The abbatoir is going to be worse, isn't it?

Just play 2. There is a much higher chance you will enjoy it and then, if you do find it interesting and beat it, you can play HD for Bachelor/Clara.

Sure, going back to 1's gamplay will be tough but even if played straight away, it's kinda garbage

>tfw a steppe woman jumping off the termitary on day 2

2, even if you don't get to play as Chad yet.

If you can stomach the aged jank that is classic HD, Bachelor route is a good introduction to the world. But you don't lose all that much by going straight into 2 either.

Up to you, really. If you're in it for the long haul I might recommend classic first. If you don't have near-infinite reserves of patience or forgiveness for clunky gameplay then 2 would be better to start with.

>they told me it's a psychological horror, which implies that it should be comfy
What?

Play 2 first, if you like it play classic hd until they release the Bachelor's route for 2.
>promise of a deeper, more involving story
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The gameplay and mechanics are miles better, no arguing there, and it's much more likely you'll *like* pathologic by starting with 2 ; but so far there's nothing to suggest a "deeper and more engaging story" than the original.
I like the original better, so far. The pacing around days 5-7 is really off.

Nice try peter.
I left her in the graveyard and she survived after accepting the rat offer

That's your impression? Weird. I will readily admit that the remake's day 10-11 are subpar and the pacing just shits itself. But the OG Haruspex's route was just crap after day 3-4.

Seconding this guy, it's more "different" than "better". It's a great game but by no means a replacement for the original.
It's a bit clunky to play but a great ride nonetheless, and probably will go a lot smoother if you're already used to the difficulty from 2.
Wish they kept the system where you received messages that hinted at quests instead of what they went with in the reboot, that was cool. Having to check them and talk to everyone when you passed them by made it feel a lot more disorienting and less like a GTA mission.

>but so far there's nothing to suggest a "deeper and more engaging story" than the original.

I was paraphrasing the games director on why they decided to call it 2 instead of "remastered" or something like that.

>While the game will see you return to the same town and characters as the original game, Podoprigora promises the story of the game goes much deeper than its predecessor, to the point where it feels like a completely new game (which it is, given the “2” in its name).

>“This is a revised version of the game, it’s somewhere between a remake and a sequel because […] the town and the characters in the game are more-or-less the same, but the story is so much deeper and so much more revised, so we decided to make it Pathologic 2 to avoid confusion,” said Podoprigora.

yeah when i was doing my haruspex playthrough i actually went and checked ALL the npcs every single day to get the quests

Yeah, there was always at least some unique dialogue for your troubles. In this game you basically just get ignored most of the time.

Wait, does the game actually show you her jump?I thought she was just a static model
I mean sure, you get the memo either way though

Yeah, when you pass the Abbatoir/Termitary in the morning on day 2 on your way North, you can see a bunch of onlookers watch her first stand on a balustrade and then fall/jump down

I don't doubt for a second that IPL were in on the change and that it was not, in fact, forced in the slightest. I can even see Dybowsky feeling all smug about the clever meta-narrative-forshadowing the name change contains.

IPL were always, ALWAYS terrible at naming, and maketing in general. TinyBuild may have suggested the change, but they sure as fuck didn't have to force anything. Hell, they don't even have means to force anything. They are an indie publisher, they don't back the companies financially.

I legitimately started having reaccuring nightmares that ALL involved Russian children stuck in weird, surreal and insanely depressing environments, so vivid they left me confused for hours after waking up.

It's not the first time I had an IPL-game related dream (Knock-Knock is specifically designed to mess with your subconsciousness) but these are a little... to close to my heart. Fuck this noise. I'm gonna take a break.

I wish they kept the portraits in some form, maybe as eastereggs, hanging on the walls in random houses.

I'm exagerating of course.
But I remember the way it was announced back then, after months of complete radio silence (and not even by IPL themselves, it was a post by the tinybuild guy) really upset a lot of people, especially since IPL had problems with publisher interference before.
Anyway, I think we can all agree that "Pathologic 2" is, in fact, a terrible name.

shame she got absolutely shafted in the original game, all her quest seemed rushed and boring where all you ever did is baby sit haruspex and daniil. The deus ex machine powers were cool, but badly implemented, i hope they do her justice this time

Here are some technical fixes

steamcommunity.com/app/505230/discussions/4/1653297026044456968/ This fix manages npc’s AI range, meaning they will travel smaller distances and their walking animations will trigger from smaller distances (you will need to get closer to them)
I haven’t personally tested this, but some might find it useful.

steamcommunity.com/app/505230/discussions/4/1653297026032363521/ official tips for fighting some performance issues

Third tip is making the game use more of your RAM. Because, get this, pathologic 2 only uses 1 gb of your ram by default. THIS ALWAYS RESETS AFTER A NEW PATCH ISNTALLED, SO YOU NEED TO CHANG THE RAM SETTINGS EVERY TIME A NEW PATCH COMES. Here what you need to do: Go to C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Ice-Pick Lodge\Pathologic 2\Settings

Right-click on the file called ExternalOptimizationSettings and click “edit”

Scroll down till you see settings called “SmartAllockMemoryStrategy”

You will see Max and Min Memory. We want to change the MaxMemory values, which should be set to 1000000000 by default (1gb of ram) and change it depending on your available ram. I have 16 gb of it, so I changed the settings to 13000000000 (13 gb of ram)

This is by far the most crucial settings to change, the game will run smoother, will smaller loading times. I haven’t tinkered with the other settings because I don’t want the game to do thing like, I dunno, messing up my memory allocation or anything. But the SmartAllockMemoryStrategy values seem to work fine and there doesn’t seem to be any RAM leakage after closing the game, so this solution works

I don't have a map, but there are two locations where they respawn daily in huge densities: One is the Bull sacrificial ground - a mound south of the graveyard if you haven't done the sacrifice thread yet. Murky will take you there on day 2 if you talk to her as part of Grace talking to your dad storyline.

The other is the series of rocks south of the cargo train-station, where the Doghead boy from day 1 kid's trial story hides. Tons of it growing around there.

You can find some around the graveyard (and even inside) too. And plus, there is like 30 basic herbs around the Ear, the abandoned Kin Camp south east of abattoir. They don't respawn though, and it's a long hike there.

You probably already figured that it's best to go hunting for herbs at night, right?

Just to correct you boi, the herbs in Heshen do respawn. I do not know it's that's daily but on the two-three occasions I've been there, there were always fresh herbs

is there any negative consequence in letting grace talk with dad? I avoided it since she was in the list.

Don't.
Don't get me started.

Fuck this industry. Seriously.

C U T E

I have been there three consecutive days in a row and they did not respawn. Not the ones in the small gardens.
A couple did re-grow in the wild steppe around, but not worth making the trip.

Maybe there is a longer respawn rate there. But I can assure you - I picked them up on day 8, and there were none on day 9 and 10 respawned in the gardens.

The original had 10/10 unnerving atmosphere that is way better than 2, but the Bachelor route might improve it since somehow the Haruspex route was comfy in both games
Also 5-7 has perfect pacing, you have lots of stuff to do and research, and if you pull it off you get the panacea and kino music youtu.be/t-_GIBjFZHU
The real pacing problem is after the Inquisitor arrives, making days shorter is a terrible gimmick that reduces the amount of sidequests

So I am at day 9, Griff will die from infection at 0:00 (I tried curing him, but the plague roll is too high, he dies anyway). Question - will there be any other quests in future, except his quest at this day? Or I can simply collect reward and let him die? Can't save him, some of the children are infected too.

Anything I should know going forward

This. The game runs terribly despite when checking seeing the game isn't even straining my hardware.

yeah i had 10 schmowders on day 8. It's really not that hard after the game kicks your ass a few times and you restart your playthrough or just push through. Combat is pretty easy, especially when you learn blocking is amazing

sneaking is your friend, hold down c when you walk around dangerous districts, you can kill an enemy while sneaking if you KEEP hitting them, they don't agro you right away, just keep hitting them in sneak attack with your fists. Lockpicks are OP in combat, they are instakill when broken on an enemy. Hoard water bottles, you need them later on

On day 1 I drank the twywine for the quest and found a chest with a note. But I have no idea what the note is about. What do with note?

you learn later that it has to do with a childs game, just leave them in the box and loot the shit of other things

the kids tell you it's a game they play where you have to put items in the box when you take something from it, but it's not worth the hassle and there's too much good loot to pass on it, just take whatever you need from the boxes and dont worry about it on your first playthrough

I think the moment you put on the costume and the mask of mortus and rebel against this guy in the Marble Nest, saying that if you kill him, it means the death of the author.
