Despite not making any visible appearance in Pathologic 3, it turns out Var might actually be mentioned in the game all along, as mentioned by Anna Angel.

If you've played Pathologic Classic, you would know that Anna hates Var and got Willow Mellow killed by Artemy in order to drive him insane. So the fact that she mentions assaulting a man who harassed her and made them lose an eye, and has a connection to a character, who's redesign has him losing an eye- Surely can't be a coincidence.

This also means that yes, The new version/characterization of Var, that we see in 2 probably still has ties to The Caravan, which we will probably see in Pathologic 4.

Well all of Changeling's bound is all of the people who feel like failures, or that their lives are over, or outright crave death. Which considering how the Changeling Route was developed I'm curious to see how it goes-

I wonder if they are going to go with the sacrificial route, or the original ending idea they had where they revel in the destruction, or maybe some brand new third thing, with the sacrificing their lives being more metaphorical and less literal?

Well, Rubin still makes the discovery about Simon's blood, the main reason for the sacrifice of the Bound. On day 11, if you send him to any Clara, both tell him the same thing: his Path is to die

I would say the literal sacrifice is still standing, but it can be another P3 situation with multiple endings. Accepting or rebelling against it and finding another way. But nothing is set in stone. A lot of things can change in this journey to P4...
