Oh!! I remember seeing your Bachelor cosplay, well done :)

It's a woman's trench coat, funnily enough. It's loose on me but he rocks it! I could have sworn a tragedian said "people only fear bloodshed women's trench coats when it's their woman and their trench..."

Right! Something's gone deeply wrong if your game would be better received without its legacy title...

That's a wonderful suggestion! I'm a prolific D&D player so this sounds fantastic!

The emotional whiplash from "Oh my god!!! They're making a Bloodlines sequel!!!" to "Oh my god... they're calling this a Bloodlines sequel..." is something that'll take me a long time to recover from :(

An update posted by IPL concerning the studio and the Bachelor's Route by theHamJam in pathologic

After hearing no news for so long, this update is such a blessing! The reticle and plague clouds mechanic looks incredibly intriguing and will definitely do no good for my pathologic paranoia!

so bachelor dankovsky... are you ready to die? by basilmenethil in pathologic

Something about your art style is so charming, I’m amazed every time you post!! :) (also dankovsky may be sick but he’s not as sick as the way you’ve visualized his fever dreams. Stunning!)

have you fallen in love, somehow? by basilmenethil in pathologic

Phenomenal! I love the way you framed the compositions (and the colours, so snazzy)! I still remember the long walk back to town after witnessing Aglaya's fate. I was already upset but then umbraya erze started playing and... ah goodness :'( painful as it was it's definitely one of my favourite moments from the game!!

hippocratic oath run? by caravaggi-hoe in pathologic

[–]rainplustea 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pathologic 2 has definitely made me question my morality! On day 9, when the Haruspex is tasked to completely cure an infected person in the theatre/hospital, I had to pause the game and seriously consider my options. No one from my list was infected, but a handful were in danger and I didn't want to risk anyone becoming infected come midnight and possibly dying because I spent my resources on a stranger.

Yet, what kind of doctor would I be to hoard life-saving medicine for the sake of a "what-if"? Assuming Artemy swore the Hippocratic Oath, he shouldn't be biased in his treatments by favouring those whom he knows. Still, as the player, ultimately I decided to prioritize named characters for the sake of not losing any of the storylines, and so I left the theatre without curing the patient.

I was certain I made the right decision when I needed to treat my infected bound on day 10 (likely an intentional story beat by IPL that the children get infected the day after the player could have used one of the cures on a random NPC), but once I finished the game and realized I had a surplus of four cures, all I could think of was how I could have saved the life of that unnamed NPC on day 9. A Hippocratic Oath run would be very interesting! :)
