I'm curious, what would people prefer most? if IPL make the Bachelor's route or the Changeling's route first?

First for DO NOT BUY THE BULL

This game is stressful as fuck.

It's day 4 at 9pm and now I gotta run all over town to give people immune boosters before midnight

I'm fucked aren't I?

Changeling.

Bachelor was the original game's tutorial, learnt fuck all through the playthrough and is a faggot.

The original game's Changeling route was the least developed while the Bachelor was the most developed.

Time for Changeling to get some attention.

The Bachelorfags can go fuck themselves.

I'd prefer Bachelor just because I like him but I would love to see a finished Changeling.

Never give up user, I believe in you.
If things get too tough, you might have to reload to earlier in the game to better optimize time.
Also, the game has a tendency to throw you off balance just when you finally start to get the hang of things by introducing some new variable into the mix, so stay on your toes, emshem.

It's likely going to be Bachelor anyways going off the deal ending. That said I want to see Changeling finished.

Why not? It's in great condition, a magnificent animal. And it can talk...

It is. At one point, you'll just learn to embrace it. Learn to let go, learn to accept things going wrong, learn to set up new priorities. It's a painful experience, but a growing one. You first need to forget a lot of what other games have taught you. Trust me, it is worth it.

Yeah, her death is scripted wether or not you go with her. Unless there's some super secret event that no one managed to discover yet.

Yes.

I'm just hoping we get a second route at all.

It'll probably happen at this point, but Changeling is up in the air

Changeling for concentrated A R T.
Bachelor for last as a joke, "everyone here is stupid but me" playthrough.

just me or does it feel like Yulia just exists within the city for no particular reason?

Waifu posting is guerilla marketing nowadays user, keep up

I think lorewise she's responsible for the design of the roads for the town's expansion, but in terms of the actual story I remember her having some level of significance in the Bachelor's route in P1, so maybe she'll be more important when (or if) they release it for P2.

Yeah, she works for/with the Kains, so to the Bachelor she must be important as it were the Kains who invited him.
But to the Haruspex shes pretty insignificant.

There to make my peepee pay attention.

She serves as a very important character for Bachellor's personal development, but I'm pretty sure she is one of Changelings Bound, isn't she?

Anyway, within the logic of the world, she serves as a bridge between the "civilized world" and the "steppe mysteria", as she managed to somehow align both in her head. Early into original's Bachellor route she has some of the most important dialogues within his storyline, and without her, his character development would not really make much sense.
But we'll see how (if) they treat her in the next chapter of the remake.

Big Vlad also serves this role, though I think in a more practical worldly sense of the cultures. I can't recall if their family as any direct relations to Yulia.

After watching this, seems like this game is trash

First one isn't trash, but we're mainly talking about the second one here.

Attached: 15660593074210.jpg (1140x641, 157K)

is it still boring?

Big Vlad is a bruteforce kind of person. He does not give a flying fuck about the Steppe Culture, as far as he is concerned they are less than animals. He does not know anything about them, and he does not care.

Yulia came into the town with very similar outlooks as Daniil did. She was an absolute sceptic, mathematician and pure rationalist: there was no space for mysticism in her head. Yet over the years she spend there, she actually accepted and embraced the mystical and magical elements of the Town, and she provides very solid reasoning as to why.

Bachellor, I feel, is supposed to go through a very similar transformation, as he enters the town a textbook englihtenist rationalist, and ends up willing to kill to preserve a miracle.

No, it's much more engaging. The video you linked had the same guy do a sequel video and rated it highly.

That "BUG REPORT, there are three Claras" genuinely made me laugh.

If you watched mandalore's review of the first one, you might want to watch the review of the second one, as he does very good job explaining the differences and similarities.

But the general answer is no: the game is far more involving and far more focused. It's a lot harder too. It's far more stresfull as a result though. Where as in Pathologic 1 you would spend a lot of time wondering around the city aimlessly, in Pathologic 2 you spend most of your time feeling overwhelmed by all the things you need to do but don't have the time for.

Dumb baka that's the original pathologic. The same guy made a review for 2 a few days ago and praised the fuck out of it. He even showed up in one of these threads.

It peaked in difficulty for me between days 4 and 6, I probably spent 3 or 4 hours on each of those days at least, and reloaded several times.

Well, Alphyna (narrative designer and lead translator) was known for her Haruspex x Bachelor fanfiction before she became part of the team. Also many women love Pathologic.

Downloaded the CODEX version of the game and it seems that the exe is missing a few dlls, on top of saying I'm missing "Unitymain" dlls, I have all redists up to date, anyone knows how to get around this? Guess I'll have to download a GOG version.

Hey buddy, think you got the wrong town.

Isn't Yulia convinced that there's some order in the mystical as well as it's relation to the "real" world.
Like, if you think of the town as part of a video game, it's like she figured that everything was designed in a particular way because of a higher power, but she does not know why, how, or who.
She just knows that there's an order to it, like with mathematics.

First you're gonna need to get down to the local pharma and buy one of everything. Yes, everything. Then you're gonna need to crush them all up into a fine powder, mix thoroughly, and then snort the whole mess. Have some bandages and tourniquets handy, it's going to hurt.

The good news is, you'll be cured. The bad news is, I hope you weren't too attached to your internal organs.

When the REAL shit kicks in, you'll find out that there is nothing else to do but to swim with the current. The game needs to break you first, before it can mold you into something better. Isn't that what you dear old Isildor used to say?
Just keep soldiering on. You'll see: shit gets a LOT worse, but then, just like in real life, you just learn that it becomes strangely easier all of the sudden. Not that the game gets easier. But making decisions will. After you'll lose your first characters, after you'll get stuck in your first death loop, you just start to think a little differently. And it will be beautiful.

I did my first playthrough over a three day awful stomach bug.

I can't give you a source, but I remember the days when this was HOTLY discussed in IPL threads, back when she joined the team as a translator (she only became a writer, and then even main writer much later on). Yeah, she used to write Yaoi fanfiction before joining the team.

The girl has a real talent though, questionable taste in pornography aside.

I don't mind the idea of it simply because anyone with an obsessive interest in a weird/socially unacceptable subject generally turns out to be an interesting, if not introduce-to-your-parents, person.

Not having some sort of weird obsessive interest is a bigger red flag for me.

It's possible.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind you though that the health service belongs to all of us and it is on you to use it responsibly.

Coughs, runny noses etc. are considered as Tier 1 issues and it is recommended and requested that you take care of these things at home yourself.

Diarrhoea would be a Tier 2 issue for which it is recommended you go to your local pharmacist for advice and medication.

However - if a cough and diarrhoea combine then this may prove to be quite the "accident AND emergency", in which case, a trip to the hospital is recommended.

Thank you for using yours and our health service responsibly.

Does Tiny Build take part of the profit for game's sales? If yes then it means they basically did nothing and just taking cash that IPL deserve.

I'm curious as well, what the fuck DOES a publisher do in a digital era?

I have never seen a game just end itself for no fucking reason because it arbitrarily decided that some invisible timer ran out it didn't tell me about or even mention at all and just fucks your entire experience because you're 2 hours in and have to start over now. And there's no autosave.

>invisible timer
Wut

Just visit the abandonded village every day, easy mode.

I'd kind of like an extended herb growing and tending minigame where you gently nurture your plants.

Go fishing in the streams.

Herd bulls and give your kids head pats.

I thinkg the herb gathering/tincture brewing mechanic was fleshed out pretty well and I hope it remains exclusive to Artemy like in the original. Although I do worry about how they could add depth to Bachelor/Changeling in the same manner.

I'm thinking the infected mechanics that applies to the named NPCs, but applied to districts.

>take blood samples from a non infected district
>see if a random sampling of people there are showing signs of dormant infection
>if yes there are precautions available to either prevent the infection the next day or lessen the impact
Maybe you warn people ahead of time leading to lower levels of "people died yesteryday/total" as the game goes on.

Don't Bachelor and Rubin make things similar to tinctures from the blood samples they get in the original? Could be something like that.

>Although I do worry about how they could add depth to Bachelor/Changeling in the same manner.
Changeling could probably try and heal crowds of people [or at least lessen their pain in return for an increase in reputation at a health/fatigue cost] Pockets of people around the town begging to be treated.

The Bachelor has the same old problem. He's tutorial mode, unrelated to the town, all he can really do is shuffle papers around, or stare through his microscope. Creating vacines may be an option, but it's more related to Rubin's progress. The Bachelor is pretty limited to just stumbling round, fucking up and relying on scavenging powders to keep his head above water, or using Panacea from the Haruspex.

On the flip side to this, given what a useless twat he is, it would make for an incredibly stressful playthrough.

Bachelor has the unique position of being able to see the situation from above, since the three families regularly come to him with advice with what to do.

Perhaps, but I think that was a story limited event.

Not like it has to stay as one.

How do we get Yahtz to review the full game when it comes out? That's what might save them from bankruptcy and revive Nikolay's faith in big projects (he seems to believe that shovelware is the future right now).

Also, if Yahtz likes it, that means they have a famous and more or less competent game journalist figure following them, and I doubt he'd retire from Escapist like Quintin Smith did with RPS. Why didn't Quintin step in when RPS incompetent brainlet review hit the internet, broskis, just whyyyy...

Yet is largely useless on the ground.

As soon as Aglaya turns up he's usurped from influence, then when Blok appears he's relegated to runt bitch status. He might get four days where he gets to call the shots, that's it.

It'd make for a compelling experience to give the player responsibility, then snatch it away - I don't know if Ice-Pick would be willing to put the dev time into making a set of mechanics that would only get four or five days use though.

Because RPS is riddled with trannies and faggots.

Yahtzee is a meme and relying on YT personalities to keep the studio alive is a lost cause. Mandalore's review, while appreciated, will be forgotten within 2 weeks among the masses.

Mandalore did a good job to help the game, and I saw a twitter screencap saying some others like Hbomberguy wanted to try it as well.

The prayers to color playing against a boss theme during the brother fights was fucking kino.

The only thing I'd say that'd probably be hard to accomplish is to save a certain sister since it's an endgame event that can catch you off guard

Russian plague doctor simulator, basically.
You play as a surgeon returning home to your hometown in the steppe after a receiving a desperate letter from your father.
However, as you arrive you're just in time to discover that 1. your dad has been murdered, 2. everyone thinks you did it (meaning the real killer's on the loose) and 3. a devastating and seemingly unstoppable plague is just about to ravage the town, and you're basically the only one who can stop it.
The game plays like a survival game but with a gripping narrative, unique setting, and lots of strange, surrealist aspects.

A select few Obdidian games

I hope they make bachelor even more useless than he was in P1 as far as his ability to actually influence the world, other characters, or anything medicine-related outside of being able to perform rudimentary diagnoses and giving patients already made drugs. No vaccines, tinctures, etc.
I think one of the strongest aspects of the bachelor campaign from a narrative point of view in P1 is how hopeless everything seems, it's incredibly kafkaesque. People come to you for advice and then turn around and do the exact opposite, your deeds and actions are restricted at every turn by endless tradition based bureaucracy, and you quickly grow disillusioned as the bachelor, once incredibly confident in modern science and medicine realizes for whatever reason he just can't go up against literal voodoo magic and herbal shamanism.
It works great as both a tutorial / introduction to the incredibly bleak world of pathologic and only serves to make the fact that you CAN make a difference and fight the plague in haruspex and changeling routes instead of having to rely on others constantly to get shit done even more powerful emotionally. For that reason I think having haruspex as the first P2 campaign was a bit of a mistake, especially for all the new players coming into pathologic with its release.
Bachelor's playthroughs (imo) should feel the most hopeless, oppressive, and confusing of the 3 emotionally, while not being quite as hard gameplay wise. Haruspex and Changeling should be bleak with the possibility for hope once you realize how shit actually works in the town and what you can do to fight the plague. Bachelor's campaign is the heavy, grim emotional setup, and Haruspex is the cathartic punchline. Not sure how to put it into words, so this may come off a bit disjointed

Any way to get around the save and reload color grind? Gardens only do so much and lots of times I’m just flat out of luck because a sister’s color didn’t spawn

No

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you stupid butcher? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in medical school, and I’ve been involved in numerous bar brawls and student protests in the capital, and I own over 300 microscopes. I am trained in the injection of antibiotics, and I’m the top practitioner in the entire Thanatica lab. You are nothing to me but just another test subject. You better run before I take out my scalpel, or you'll need a degree to understand what's happening to you, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit by sending me a letter at 10pm? Think again, cowfucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of drunks across the town and your hideout is being staked out right now so you better prepare for the storm, worm. The storm that makes the Sand Pest look like a light fever. You’re fucking dead, "oynon". I can get anywhere, slowly, and do whatever I want around here, since I'm the only one with a degree in this shithole of a town. I let the Plague infect over 700 people yesterday, just to study it, and the town rulers still gave me full authority and emergency powers. Not only am I extensively trained in the use of revolvers, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Griff's warehouses and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable backwater traditions off the face of the earth, you little primitive. If only you could have followed the lines to deduce what your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have stayed in the fucking abbatoir where you belong. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, and it's three times higher than yesterday. Medicum morbo adhibere. You’re fucking dead, emshen.

He did like The Talos Principle, that gives me hope.

Ideally you want to work things so that you're never short on any one color by cheesing the shit out of your gardens. You want to be maximizing garden output by never actually using the big ones until you've got enough color to max out multiple trees, ideally at least one of every color. Play it safe and dump your load right before a cycle rolls over, that was you can guarantee no brothers come along to steal your shit.

Always keep around 100~ gold on you for maximum sister conversion, and a good chunk of violet for ez tree filling. Sometimes you'll get screwed out of a certain color but about 10 or so cycles in, color starts showing up like mad and it's extremely rare to not have any particular one show up. Just invest early, cultivate it, and max out your dividends. Since trees give half the yield every cycle, ditch the entire garden after your second harvest and move on to a new one. By the time that one also fades out, you'll either have enough to do what you need to do, enough to unlock a new chamber, or simply head back to the first one and it should be open for more reseeding by then.

Veins give stupid amount of color too, don't ignore them just cause they're complicated.

>implying they have the spare cash to hire shills

So tree size matters?

They pay in cabbages

I wish they hired shills. It would mean tinybuild is making at least a bare minimum effort.

Some gardens are flat out better than others, downside is they require much more color to hit the max, and if you don't hit the max you get considerably less bang for your buck. These are generally mid-end game gardens in the upper areas. But you can also use up like a third of the garden at a time as one tree will get you all you can hold of any one color.

Yeah silver is usually a bitch in the early years, if you want to give lazy bathtub sister her goo you're better off farming the large amounts of emerald until you get a hold of some silver.

Hey Lara can smile too!
Just imagine the 1/1000 Bachelor players that didn't scam her in the first game and actually got her the supplies she requested!

That's what makes it so beautiful honestly.
It's an amazing introduction to the setting, constantly grasping at straws, then you entirely get usurped while still trying to remain relevant while some mad fuck is bleeding bulls for antibodies is being more useful than you are

it also makes the bachelor much easier to sympathise with in other routes, his exhaustion, frustration and desperation are the exact same emotions you went through. The whole route is basically a sequence of days with things continuously getting worse with zero relief or payoff. You don't even cure the damned thing. You keep pushing forward hoping for a breakthrough or that at least something good will happen. And it just doesnt.

>I guess you need to be in certain mood to play it.
Not him but I can get that. I have times where I play a specific game all the time then drop it and don't touch it for about a week or two, then go back to it.

Can totally relate, I didnt finish the game until the whole thing had died down and threads stopped happening.

He specifically say that part of the inspiration for Pathologic came from True Love.
Don't know if he later refuted this statement.
>Tell us briefly about the game itself.
>I confess that at the time when “Pestilence” was conceived (then the working title was different - “Epidemic”), huge for me is truly huge! - the impression was made by the game True Love. No need to laugh - hentai was completely uninteresting to me and even a little unpleasant - but I was shocked by how penetrating, in Chekhov's way, this game reflected the feeling of irrevocably passing time, leaving childhood, forever turned page of life. Maybe the theme of the dying children's kingdom in the "Pestilence" was born from here ...

nah

how the FUCK do I get past them

Sneak up past the first one, the map design could not be more obviously set up to sneak past him.
Get the Menkhu's blade from the lady. Now you can fight them. If you are badly damaged, run away to a blood source and heal up.

Walk backwards while spamming heavy attacks, and make sure there's only one of them that can reach you at a time.

Other youtubers starting to get in on it with meme videos. Good sign right?

When the Bachelor let me into your house I stole everything I could find. No hard feelings.

You do realize that you'll get infinite lifeblood at the end of the story, right? Also: while panacea is valuable, if you don't get through that segment of the game at all, it's fat good.

Here is a fun little story about that segment though: when I first finished the game, I had to take long time kiting the bastards. And as a consequence, two of the odong bodies DESPAWNED before I could get back to them, meaning I got two vials of blood less than I should.
Yeah. Loot them fast.

The interesting part of it is that A) this is actually something that Peterson would probably say about the game had he ever had any inclination to play it, and B) it's not a bad summary.

I instantly fell in love with Sister Death, although to ascend her is a sisyphean task.

IPL threads generally tend to be exceptionally civil and level headed (that one russian freak with a vendenta against Dybowsky not withstanding). I suppose most people who enjoy this game are a little more adult than your average 4chaner, and they tend to be very passionate, because IPL games in general are something you either don't get, or that you love with a passion.
Plus their very niche status, remarkable consistency of the studio, and constant fear of the future the studio makes most IPL fans worried about scaring people away from their titles, and eager to get others onboard, which means less elitistic bullshit, less drama-mongering and generally kinder tone of discussion.

Finally, IPL games have an amazing property of generally being inspiring. You can see it on the unusually high quality of fan-art they attract, and general desire of people to learn more, to seek similar titles, to read and study on subjects that relate to them. So you often get some solid discussions on things like literature as part of these threads.

I love Haruspex!

>that one Russian user
>implying he's not just LARPing as a Russkie

Given that he rather clearly finished Turgor, I don't think he lies about being russian.

Where does one even get a hold of Turgor these days? I can't speak vodka but if there's an english patch it might be interesting to see what the original was like.

Attached: 20190621011634_1.jpg (1600x900, 112K)

The Polish version you can get on GOG/Steam is Turgor and someone made a patch that turns all that into English iirc

I got my version off torrents about eight years ago. Otherwise, I think the easiest way is to scour russian game stores and markets for physical copies.

Oh, here it is

Should I start with The Void or Tension?

The bachelor's bum boys have their priorities.

Neat, thanks.

Start with The Void, it's more comprehensible and less soul-grindingly unforgiving. Note that I said "more" and "less", both adjectives still apply.

Tension is extremely hard to even get your hands on to begin with. And I'd say start with The Void. Gameplay-wise it is much better than Turgor, as it has much more comprehensive introduction and generally more focused and directed progression. I also actually prefer it story-wise, as it actually makes it's core mesage and themes more clear.

Turgor in comparison is harder, but for mostly the wrong reasons - the game just really fails to give you enough directions and sense of clear progression. Story-wise, it has more content - a lot more - but most of it is INTENTIONALLY contradictory or misleading, effectively burrying the core themes in a thick layer of obfuscation which I personally don't think adds anything of real value to the experience.
However, some people ultimately liked Turgor's story more, as they enjoyed the sheer amounts of strange world-building and extremely open-to-interpretation nature of it.

It's still in the archive

Thanks, I'll start with The Void then.

thats right "oynon"

Same reason why mountain shacks are. Hardship sweetens the leisure.

You can use a patch on the steam discussion forum for the Void to turn the Polish language version into Turgor. Just follow the instructions, they’re pretty simple

The revolver isn't worth it, save it for food and meds. You'll get a weapon soon and your fists will usually do the job anyway.

There was one time in the entire game I felt the revolver was useful, and that was on about day 7-8. Otherwise it's just useful for convenience instead of running into a house to avoid a 2 on 1.

So you make a compelling case for this bull.
