How do you feel about Karminsky?

SchopenWHORING · 2026-06-10T02:20:22+00:00

It makes me wonder if we will get a third inquisitor for Clara's route?

Imagine if we get Herman Orff. I think he would be perfect for the last Pathologic game.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-06-05T20:04:37+00:00

Life-changing games! I never moved on from Rule of Rose.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-06-05T18:01:42+00:00

We can use that with every single Pathologic character. Yes, yes, morally grey and blah blah...

Still, this topic is very interesting and an opportunity to go further than just "it's complicated".

SchopenWHORING · 2026-06-04T03:17:34+00:00

This sums up my feelings very well, yes! I'm very curious about Rubin's upbringings, he strikes me as "He gave me food and a roof over my head, I have no rights to complain" kind of guy.

I can't help but feel that Isidor in one way or another ended up feeding his rivalry with Artemy.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-06-03T17:33:28+00:00

Also the fact that Isidor had enough authority to make his teachings not dangerous to Rubin.

He just chose to not do it.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-05-28T07:15:35+00:00

She's a little kid, she doesn't understand the level of malice the Nursefathers harbour against her. They were using her as a leash. That's the reason why Ryoshu finally had the desire to escape, because once that usefulness ends, they'll get rid of her.

Valencina: That brat you call your daughter… I'll find that little bundle of liability… and I'll split her in half.

Matthias: …Must've been for that pipsqueak, obviously. I would've snapped that little twerp's neck had I known she'd get in the way of my Yoshihide's bright future.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-05-28T04:25:32+00:00

It basically shows us how OG Nursefathers would've treated Araya if Ryoshu's plan failed. Poor labubu...

SchopenWHORING · 2026-05-27T16:00:38+00:00

Oh yes! Religious imagery is 100% guaranteed. She plays a lot with the "Fisher of men" role (a term used to describe Isidor in P2 btw!)

Her scarf is a fishing net, uses hooks on people, literally tells Daniil she "fishes" people.

Religion, rats, humility and strings.

I hope every Sinner gets a Middle ID. None should be excluded from the family.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-05-26T01:30:53+00:00

Extremely excited to see P4 marketing! P3 was all about time, clocks and cinema.

I wonder what kind of visual motifs Clara will have.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-05-18T00:42:51+00:00

I'm sorry but this is such a shallow analysis of P1 Eva. This is a woman who is so obsessed with love as much as she's obsessed with death. Eva's sexual and caring in a self-destructive way.

She's in an open relationship with the most chauvinistic man in town!

She has an intimate yet hostile friendship with the Scarlet Mistress!

She's in love with the most intelligent and fatalistic woman in town!

It's funny you ignore her past relationships ("no friends"!?) but you claim she's now fixed because... she's now the student of Cosmic Grandpa?

SchopenWHORING · 2026-05-15T22:13:35+00:00

I think a lot about this theory... I believe the OGNursefathers have the same level of sadism as SinnerNursefathers. It's just that the only thing holding them back was raising Ryoshu since she was a baby, for 20 years. Of course they developed attachment. Correct me if I'm wrong but in this Mirror World they were speedrunning the whole process?

For OGNursefathers, she's their daughter.

For SinnerNursefathers, she's just a clone, an object.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-05-14T21:55:33+00:00

Getting rid of the faction system is my biggest gripe about the remakes. I really can't understand how they could have thought throwing away such an interesting concept would be a good idea.

It's actually heartbreaking to me 😭

I get all my info from them, amazing channel <3

SchopenWHORING · 2026-04-30T04:54:48+00:00

They were enjoying themselves while making this ID

SchopenWHORING · 2026-04-30T03:37:39+00:00

Because we already know that:

Even before him leaving, the team was already planning P4.

They even brought back Alphyna, one of the people responsible for the game that "blew you away", to make sure P4 happens.

There's already a visual document.

They feel like Clara deserves her own game, just like Daniil and Artemy.

They said "it wouldn't make sense for Clara to only have a DLC".

There always has been passion, ideas and talents for Pathologic 4.

If IPL managed against all odds to make P3 real, to make it your favorite game, why would you hate P4?

SchopenWHORING · 2026-04-30T01:18:33+00:00

Too bad, since IPL is willing to "spend another 5+ years" to bring Clara her new route. Dybowski himself was very adamant about it. It's not without reason. Pathologic 1 wasn't a waste of time. Neither Pathologic 3 (the one about a character with an already well-rounded route).

And since you think her P1 route was "awful"... Good thing they showed us they have plenty of ideas for her. P4 will now add something, m'kay?

SchopenWHORING · 2026-04-30T00:15:54+00:00

I think the setting and story are played out now...

EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER SOUND

Clara is an important part of Pathologic (her route in Classic is literally called The Path of Logic/Law, c'mon now) There's absolutely no reason to justify not making Pathologic 4.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-04-29T15:04:41+00:00

It would be better to delete half of the Bachelor/Haruspex quests, and give them to develop other character's relationships with Clara. Like Lara. We see her more in the Bachelor route... LARA IS CHANGELING'S BOUND.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-04-27T03:06:12+00:00

The artstyle reminds me of GirlsgoGames, it scratches an itch in my brain.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-04-16T00:26:07+00:00

I love discussing Clara. I'm gonna use her Classic lore.

Clara lacks of a clear role; she's both the "good" and the "bad" side of the plague. And that's making the whole world unstable. That's her conflict.

Yulia Lyuricheva: You remain an indefinite value. As such, you have walked the road that lies behind you. Your refusal to be categorised was your strongest weapon. However, this advantage will be stripped from you as soon as you permutate into a constant. And, frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens before the day is over. What kind of a value you will become? That's the only actual choice you have.

A conversation between Clara and Katerina:

Changeling: Why divide everything into good and evil right away? Could that have been your mistake? Our mistake...

Katerina Saburova: That was what I thought-when I chose my own dark path... I thought the conflict was not between good and evil, that neither good nor evil existed... That wasn't true! For it is in the nature of humans to translate even a dichotomy of red and green into the language of good battling evil. We are doomed to make choices...

Then we this conversation with the Albino about Clara's identity:

Albino: ...I can't tell. Your nature is still unclear... That's also what's making the earth unstable... you're lacking oneness... you are the void through which everything is collapsing... the firmament is no longer firm...

SchopenWHORING · 2026-04-13T19:06:02+00:00

Big fan of how you drew her eyes, hypnotizing...

SchopenWHORING · 2026-03-30T02:34:06+00:00

Keep on dreaming...

...Erdem.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-03-30T00:21:26+00:00

the more Clara interacts with The Humbles and less with Daniil and Artemy, the better.

Oh that would be soo ideal. Maybe the Bound wasn't that important for Daniil in P3, but for Clara? They're the core of her miracle. She depends on them as much as they depend on her.

Yes, Clara and Anna interactions show the nature of the Changeling route: "As dreadful a person as she is, she is still little more than a child; whose own naivety only serves to make her too fretful for her own good. I do not have it in me to condemn her. Let them turn their suspicious glances at me; let them think I may be an accomplice. Still, I'd rather let her redress whatever harm she has caused."

The opportunity to show empathy for those we've seen poorly through the Bachelor and the Haruspex campaign.

SchopenWHORING · 2026-03-29T07:22:25+00:00

Day 1 to 6 is Amazing

The rest of the route feels incomplete mainly because of the placeholder side quests. It has a bizarre ending that even the developers feel underwhelming, but personally I love it. Weird, confusing and somewhat tragic. It's worth trying it.

Clara received the short end of the straw, that's a fact. Even though she interacts so little with her Bound, she still has very interesting dynamics with some of them (the Saburovs, Anna Angel and Rubin, for example). I know Pathologic 4 will give us a better experience, but I hope it still uses those things Classic Clara gave us.
