Pathologic Thread

I made the big mistake of watching Lets Play's of the game before I played it, thinking at the time it wasn't a game I'd want to play myself. Though they were both very entertaining, now, as I'm playing it, I kind of feel like I cheated myself out of that nice discovery feeling...

I guess there are still the other PCs I can do that with though...

just bought this game, the intro made no sense to me but whatever, I stopped at the part where you meet that ginger childhood friend of yours in a trainyard, so far the atmosphere is amazing and I'm just getting started, what am I in for frens? preferably no spoilers

interesting, interesting. if i had friends willing to play it with me that'd be a very tempting buy lol. i love the idea of group politics, semi-cooperative games. it's particularly fitting for pathologic

Tabletop simulator has a version of it, it takes some getting used to the mechanics because the rules don’t make sense exactly. Also I’d modify the rules slightly so that you can only take resources from your own wards. The game allows you to interact too much with other players wards that it doesn’t allow for choices to be based on resource scarcity.

Frustration, despair, enlightenment, craving
In that specific order as well

Frantic and hectic dumpster diving, lol
seriously, check every trashcan you come across.

It's really weird, this isn't the kind of game I tend to play but it seeps into your bones. Really digs into you. It's something that lingers with you for quite some time even after you're done with it.

It's on Tabletop Sim if you can't find the physical

Does anyone have that "Just found out about the sand plague" pic?

Oi lads, is there some ending to that one part where you meet murky at the graveyard and pick herbs?

I have a open ended circle in my thoughts and i remember it just ending in a 'i didn't want to do this' kind of conclusion circle. And I don't see a way to continue it.

You know, Burakh, with great soul comes great responsibility. Old man Isidor called it 'The Khatanghe Man's Burden.' Myself, I just call it as I see it: the responsibility of the master to discipline the pet.

At the risk of repeating what others say:
Pain, misery, frustration and ultimately: catharsis. I kinda envy you that you are getting into the game blind.
Be patient, and TRADE OFTEN. Without spoiling, that is the one thing you really need to know. Trade with everyone you come across, unless you are completely satisfied on all your needs: especially the children.

I've seen too many people bitching about how the hunger is unfair just because they had not figured out that when the game tells you to trade at every opportunity, it means you should actually trade at every opportunity.

Never realized that this quote is from Tolstoy. I know the other version, by Borges:
"There are only three stories:
Illias, Odyssey and New Testament."

I suffered through 9 days of the true difficulty mode before turning some of the options to easy because I wanted an actual ending instead of getting stuck in a death loop. Am I still a good burakh?

It's perfect, en-Daniil.

There is this giant interview with ice pick lodge and its on russian. Has it been translated yet? If not do you guys want me to? They talk about the whole process of creating it, re-doing it from scratch, failure at launch and planes for the future. Although I think based mandalore helped it out a lot. The game was on the top selling on steam recently.

The DTF one?

It's already been translated. Machine translation did most of the job and some actor touched it up

Aight, cool
That was so painful to read.

A Gamer™

It's great, provided you have a group of friends willing to play several times, and still willing to talk to you after the first time.

As revealed by 2's release, gamers are unable to handle something like Pathologic

so it really is the pathologic of board games

Is this a redraw, or can you extract the pictures/textures from the gamefiles?

Do I just need to keep people alive at the end of day 10 to ensure they survive?

if you reverse image search i believe you will find the page that has tons of extractions including in-game paintings and stuff.

its surprising you can type with obese fingers.

The infection roulette works the same at the end of day 10 as the other days. And there is none on day 11, so if an NPC makes it through the night of day 10, he's saved.

playing pathologic 1. bachelor route, day 4. i'm going to die very soon. I have no rations and no money. I missed what to do on day 3, so i only did the two sidequests. after i die, i don't think i'm going to restart. the game is interesting as hell and I want to know what happens but I gotta say the gameplay is SHIT. walking back and forth across the town and 2 meters and hour sucks ass, poo poo death clouds of get infected immediately and if you're out of shmowders than tough luck sucks, and the combat is weak as hell.

Take pills before the clouds hit you or wear clothes

I don't watch youtubers but how much attention to this game will Hbomberguy's video bring? More than Mandalore? I just want my Bachelor/Changeling campaign and I don't want the game to become another "hidden gem".

pills are expensive as fuck, but whatever the clouds are avoidable so that doesn't really matter all that much. Also the only clothes i've seen in any shop or in any pickups are single use latex gloves and the sheet.
my main complaint is the slow ass walking. constant walking. walking. that's all i fucking do and it's so fucking slow.
>not instantly knowing where to go so your routes are peak efficiency
yeah it's my first time blind. it sucks. also inb4 zoom zoom

You have a map which also shows quest markers

Mandalore gave it more than enough exposure to save the Bachelor, after his video enough people played it to save IPL and also liked it to shill it via word of mouth and make more money
Unless something goes very wrong it should be safe now

>not instantly knowing where to go so your routes are peak efficiency
You get letters, a quest log and a map, if you can't use all of this to plan your routes somewhat efficiently then you are a shitter
Also you can very easily get through the game infected from day 3 to day 12, I know you can because I did it in my blind playthrough
Just barter for meds and chug meradorm before sleeping, it's not hard

Are the infection/death for the bounds really just a dice roll? Can you even do anything other than just helping their odds?

All of models have some subtleties to them. The Bachelor, for example, can't shave, has snakes everywhere as well as some (acne?) scars on face.

was this the game reacting to my decisions, or does the encounter with the replacement actor for the role of Artemy Burakh in the factory on Day 11 always happen?

When I met them and he told me about the decisions he had already made, I was stunned. What he told me was so uncanny feeling because I had actually, in a previous attempt and life, gone and visited Clara and saw those soldiers in the mist before being shot dead, just as this actor seemingly had

Always happens.
The quest to find the courier only progresses to the Broken heart after you visit all previous locations, so you would always meet Clara at the army camp before talking to him.
Still a pretty cool moment of course.
You can also make him hostile if you say "there can only be one Artemy Burakh"

This was literally my day 3. Which random npc was I supposed to talk to with no hint or direction to get the main quest ball rolling?
My point is not that I have a hard time planning routes when I have markers and direction. But I do have a hard time planning my route when I have no markers or direction. Make sense fuckface?
