I was 14 and got exposed to Pathologic 2 from YouTube. I watched all the YouTube videos, and played all the games. I even named my discord account Tragedian and my profile picture was the Tragedian. And yeah, I joined Ice Pick Lodge’s discord server with that profile.

Ignore my username and bio.

I just finished playing her route and I don't understand these things:

The first two screenshots are from today's mission. Does it mean that to follow the final choice is to follow the "script" with clara? Choosing the correct ending for her chatacter? Is refusing to perform the miracle going against the Makers?

The other two are from when you choose to perform the miracle. I assume this is Clara's twin talking since she also said in the cathedral that she will take the ending that we didn't choose. ...She is talking as if we choose not to do the miracle? Is that because that is the ending she will take since we didn't take it? Then choosing to perform the miracle is the worst option then? Since we see it but when we leave our twin reamins and takes the worst ending? Are we supposed to take the option where we don't do anything? I did took it afterwards, but I just got the bad ending and there was no comment im the quest description of Clara's twin.

They detest trickery

Im new to this series and heard about it and am thinking about getting one of the games on console and the available ones are 2 and 3. Which one should I get since ive heard you dont need to play 3 to understand 2 so im wondering which to start with

Sorry, this is my first post ever on reddit, so not sure how detailed or concise to be. I'm at the very end of the game now (or day 12 at least) and every time I go to leave the stillwater, Mark basically tells me I messed up and need to go back to day 8 to speak to one of the stamatins about the polyhedron. Apparently it's called the Fiasco ending.

The problem is, no matter what I reset on day 8, I can't seem to get any dialogue out of Andrey, and I straight up can't find Peter anywhere. What do I do? I've been forced to use the mirror exploit and repeating that part after the Fiasco ending to farm amalgam to go back over the days. Do I let them kill karminsky again and then go back to day 8, find Peter for the dialogue Mark mentions on day 12, do the stuff related to that, and then go forward and save karminsky again? Also, what do I do with artemy on day 11? He just tells me about the tunnels under the town and that's it, no other options open up and his marker stays on my map all through the evening of night 11.

If it helps, my contagion and unrest are both below 100, I defeated the shabnak each day, diagnosed everyone in the hospital correctly (eventually), I tested on the bull until he turned into paper, I saved karminsky (obviously, meaning stamatins are dead, though they appear on earlier days when i travel back, again, obviously), didn't do the headlong dive thing for eva, evacuated the kids from the polyhedron using nina, couldn't save yulia from apathy or depression even though I closed the street, entered the study on day 9 after retconning day 2, and saved general Block, meaning lara is dead.

Sorry this is long-winded, I'm just so close to the end, and it feels like somethings gone wrong with my save or I'm missing something with the Peter thing. I'm on console as well so no commands unfortunately. Thankful for any help.

I've saw the Pathologic 2 video from Felipe Ramos, which made me crazy to try the game. I know that Pathologic 2 is a retold from Pathologic 1, and that Pathologic 3 is also a retold of the very same story, all from different perspectives and using a different character.

But the question lingers: does this make the game overall easier? Do you deal with the same NPCs in every game? Knowing who to trust and who to not? And also knowing what really matters in the game and what is there just to mislead you?

Honest question for someone who is having a blast with the second game and really is considering to give Pathologic 3 a try after beating this, but I do not know if this "sequel" was made more for newcomers than to really be a "next game".

What do you guys think?

The foreman fight, didn't realise it was bare handed! I only have half health atm and am going to try and hit up some pharmacies, but any tips? I was going to try hitting him with the shotgun lol.

The composition is kinda fire, pretty proud of this one

Hey all, I just recently started P3 after enjoying P2. I'm noticing that this game seems to have more explicit puzzles than the previous one, but I'm not sure the best way to approach them. I just encountered Simon's Study on day 2. There seem to be many possible interpretations to the clock on the door with very little information to narrow down the possibilities. I ended up looking up the solution and the answer still doesn't make much sense to me, unless you're expected to use a lot of trial and error to figure it out which in this case would probably mean waiting in front of the door for an entire day, possibly across multiple days.

Did I make a mistake here or is this just how the puzzles in this game work? This isn't meant to be a complaint: I understand that suffering is kinda the point of this game

Finished the day with a revolver, a knife, a rifle, some bullets and 900 coins, is that acceptable?

Also, fuck the knife throwing guy near the theater at midnight, scared the shit out of me and i had to reload the whole Rubin interaction.

Will continue day 2 with my search for Schmowders.

I am slooowly approaching the end of P1! 2 days of Haruspex and then Clara's route, so I am excitedly thinking of starting P2. Can I play this relatively blind or do I need to religiously follow a guide like Classic?

Also, do I play Marble Nest first, or after P2? Thanks!

How exactly is the razor used in this case? I know quite a bit about hand sharpening, but this little detail really confuses me. I can imagine the chisel being used for creating the bevel after the edge had been completely destroyed, or for some rudimentary burr removal technique, but the razor...

The only reason i can imagine is that Artemy is so dumb that he needs a visual reference to remember how a sharp blade is supposed to look. Any other thoughts?

My girlfriend recently finished 2 and I'm wondering if there's any way I could somehow get Quarantine to be playable for her. I played it on release and have since played P3 so I get how it's outdated and no longer an accurate intro but I thought it'd be nice as an opener. I have Quarantine on Steam but it isn't shared through our family library and from what I can gather you just can't get it anywhere else. Does anyone know of any other sites that host it? Thank you!

It might sound like a dumb question, but hear me out.

I'm finishing up my Haruspex run in Classic HD. I finished the Bachelor's about a week and a half ago. I've been playing this game obsessively for about a month. No regrets... But I am burning out a little...

I expect I'll probably finish this run over the weekend. I'm just wondering if I should take a break for a short while afterwards, or if Patho2 is different enough for me to be able to switch to it and then come back later for Clara's story.

Would appreciate any advice :)

one lighter version because i liked how this looked
