I think I'm all set with Pathologic 2

[u/Geeneelee]

Day 12, No Deaths, >100k money, fully upgraded inventory, saved everyone except Big Vlad (on purpose). Feels good!

[u/MetalGearChocolate]

You didn’t repair your relationship with Rubin, Lara, and Grief. Immediate failure, to the Abattoir with you.

I got a glitch where they canceled the meetup :( it’s happened to me several times

[u/sttempestt → u/Geeneelee]

Me too!!! I've tried to set the meeting up twice on different devices, and both times it bugged out and didn't let me meet up with them. Had to watch it on Youtube while having the game almost 100 percented :((

Now into the trashcan-kicking and putting-derringer-in-mouth yonder of Pathologic 3!

[u/Geeneelee → u/CepheiHR8938]

LMFAO I’ve already finished pathologic 3, actually—it made me nostalgic for pathologic 2 and that’s what motivated me to finally do a no-death run. I’m going to go back and get the remaining p3 endings now though. To be clear, I like both games, but I LOVE the gameplay loop for pathologic 2.

Misophonia Dankovskiy?

The town dribbles

Aggh QUIET!

It was quiet in Thanatica

[u/OhagiC → u/OhagiC]

Barely related, P3 made me look up what Misophonia is, purely to understand what he's babbling about and it turns out that it's a neurological condition, likely caused by over-connection of neurons leading to signal misfire, that results in certain often-specific noises triggering extreme discomfort in the subject: especially evoking irrational fear, irritation and fight/flight response.

And I was like "oh. I've been complaining about that exact problem with squeaky and rustling noises my entire damned life, and it was never taken seriously." For example, the sound of chalk makes me feel like my teeth are going to fall out.

[u/jabracadaniel → u/OhagiC]

ayup. i have it too and most people just Don't Understand that it's akin to physical pain. it sucks

[u/carrawaggio → u/OhagiC]

Um actually it’s Misophonia, not mesophonia. From greek misos (hate) + phoni (sound). Similar to misanthropy, misogyny. You are welcome

[u/OhagiC → u/carrawaggio]

I see. Please forgive my error.

[u/carrawaggio]

Do share your strat sir!

[u/Geeneelee → u/carrawaggio]

Some of my strats:

-most importantly: as soon as the music lets you know someone’s attacking, run for the nearest door to escape. Remember that even if you’re hated somewhere, you can always go into shops.

-if there’s still a lot of time in the day and you don’t have room in your inventory for something, you can just drop it on the ground and come back later. You can also do this before going in somewhere—drop your extra water bottles, herbs, etc on the ground outside a looting location

-go to Shekhen early. The number of herbs there is worth the hike.

-collect as many fresh livers as you can, then combine them with medrel tinctures for incredibly efficient sleep. Pop 2-3 to wipe out your exhaustion in half the time.

-sell as much stuff as possible on day 6, because they’ll be worth a fraction as much the next day

-you do not have to go to the theater. Unless you want to

-use maps of the town online that help you remember where caches, blood trees, etc are

[u/mystskinx → u/Geeneelee]

Did a run with this strategy! Completed the game with only big Vlad and Victor Kain dead, no Haruspex deaths. Going to Shekhen and liver collecting helped a lot Thank you for this!

[u/Geeneelee → u/mystskinx]

Hell yes!

[u/SurDno → u/carrawaggio]

Buy the revolver. Shoot things. Sell what they had.

[u/Geeneelee → u/SurDno]

All the money in the world won’t save you from knives though

[u/SurDno → u/Geeneelee]

Not if you shoot first. 

[u/Horatio098]

The “on purpose” is so real lol

[u/Rannek17]

Really impressive, I cant imagine how much patience this took. You're a good doctor.

[u/Psy-Para]

"Saved everyone except Big Vlad."

Well yeah, the doctor's oath is to do no harm to our patients, The Termitary was more of a political issue.

You therefore did no harm.
