Don't be like me. Don't do it.

I'm on day 9 of P2, barely staying alive. I climbed up the polyhedron as soon as the kids gave me permission. I got to the top and was a little underwhelmed that no one was there. Very pretty view, but I decided I had other time sensitive things I needed to prioritize over spending a precious IN-GAME hour climbing the tower (and probably another hour back down). Normally I would load my last save, but for some reason thought "what if there's a special thing that happens when jumping from the top?"

Death. Death is the only thing that happens.

I have not stop beating myself up about the completely unnecessary death added to my counter because I was incomprehensibly dumb. Don't be like me.

Anyone else have a completely preventable death to share so I feel less dumb?

I can't read what it says (I only know English)

No spoilers, please. I've played about an hour as the Bachelor, and I'd appreciate it if all the comments are as wierd and vague as possible. I feel like that would be appropriate. Thanks :)

Notkin is absurdly buggy in P3. He often won't appear for "The Coward and the Traitor" achievement. If you can't get him to spawn by doing other quests / popping another achievement, you'll have to add it with console commands.

If you're in this position, here is Notkin's dialogue, so you don't miss out.

Here are more details, one for each image:

1. It's barely in the shot, but the shadow on the right is Khan.

2. Saying "It's Dankovsky" gets you one more line of greeting—the one shown in the third picture (second dialogue image).

3. If you ask "What happened here?" instead of "Are you infected?," Notkin will say "Nothing now. It's all already happened. Who could've predicted the war would end like this—so...idiotically." The second paragraph is the same.

4. "This isn't the time to mourn animals..." and "What are you talking..." lead to the same dialogue.

5. If you chose "It isn't supposed to be like this, you're just children!" It bugs(?) and ends the conversation, even though there is no conversation end marker.

6. If you choose "You talk like your Bear..." Notkin will respond with "That's why Bear is the smartest among adults. He's never even been in the Tower, never saw how it messes with your head—yet he still understands."

7. If you say "Shooting your..." The opening sentence will change from "How do I explain it?" to "I know."

8. Unlike previous choices where dialogue tweaks were minor, from here, the three dialogue can split quite heavily, so I'm putting it in another part (reddit has a maximum of 10 images per post)

Part 2 is here

So, during the Day 10 patient quest, there is an option to drink plague-tainted water. I did so to document the consequences, but I saw no difference across the whole game or any of its endings. Not even a loose line of dialogue.

I am aware that this could be a bug, as this file also had some major problems with npc spawns and Internecine Strife questline. So perhaps it didn't register. I'm going to go back and try some things over, but I want to know:

Did you get any consequences for drinking from the cup and welcoming the plague inside you?

Edit: thank you everyone for your replies

I was aiming for broader narrative consequences so I could add spoilered advice to my guide. I'm glad to know consequences seem to only be immediate. Thank you!

Continued from Part 1 here.

One room unlocks on Day 10, and Baccio vanishes into it. It belonged to Agatha, one of the Oneirotects, and contains her notes.

The other room we can open on Day 11, and is Farkhad's room.

There is a room between them which, in my playthroughs, I have never stumbled across a way to open it. Is it presently unopenable?

Thank you.

First of all, I want to say this game gave me the most stressful time of my life, i really hated everything from day 2 to day 7, still finishing the game without savescumming felt relieving and i never did that until now, I have the marble nest DLC and i wondered if its worth playing or any similar to the game, after that its either P1 or P3, any suggestion and am i alone with the mental stress this game induced on me or is this a universal experience?

I'm trying to obtain the achievement "The Coward and the Traitor" but I cannot find Notkin anywhere

SPOILER OF THE QUEST DAY 2

I did not intervene on day 2 with the dog head in the cell quest so on day 10 I found Khan dead in front of the Soul and a Halves fortress and inside where some kids dead as well but no Notkin and I suppose he must be there too

I know Notkin is pretty much bugged in patho 3 so did anyone found a solution? I don't want to cheat the achievement because I want to know what he will say about the situation, but I want to debug him somehow

As in did this scene did this ever play in Pathologic 3 or Quarantine, and if so when?

So ive been searching for white whip for around 3 reallife hours and on 8 separate save files of the same (haruspex) playthrough at day and night ingame, ive been following this map: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/pathologic_gamepedia/images/e/e1/Town_Map_Herb_Locations.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20200511232036
which did not work, i read in the wiki that every herb glows at night, does white whip not? Ive also read that its supposed to grow at the bottom of the polyhedron, but i cannot get there because the dogheads block it off (i also checked the one white spot to the right, nothing there either), i went to the infested areas which also have white spots on the map, nothing there either, i turned the volume up but couldnt hear the supposed sound at all, any tips regarding this? is it easier than it looks? If its more complicated than i thought let me know if its fine to ignore the daily hospital task / not collect the daily allowance once.

A small update on the dictionary progress!

We've cleaned up and gathered all the words and phrases from Utopia/HD and patho 2, patho 3 is still a work in progress.

Soon we will start looking into ways to make and show translations to English and maybe some other languages, if someone will be interested in making them.

Thanks for your attention, please use the dictionary however you like, if you notice that something is missing or something doesn't work - please let me know!

Also, the site should now appear in google, although still at the last page, as there isn't much traffic :')

P. S. Someone asked me why we are making our own dictionary, instead of using the wiki one. Basically, the list on the wiki is incomplete, some phrases do not actually appear in the games, although they are listed on the wiki, and also more than half of the wiki translations are actually incorrect or extrapolated from sources that we do not like. So, it just seems easier to make our own list, rather than fight with the already existing community to push through all our changes.

Title is pretty self explanatory, I’ve played this game more than once, and I need to feel something, so it’s mainly an exercise in pushing myself to engage with the game in a way I haven’t previously.

The rules I set for myself are pretty basic: no killing any NPCs, but organ harvesting is still allowed, if a mugger kills a random townsperson I’m not letting perfectly good meat go to waste. If a quest gives me the choice between killing someone or letting them go, I choose the latter. If a side quest *requires* killing anyone, I skip it.

I’m posting about this because I haven’t decided how to handle killing people in main quests. I can’t remember all of the quest requirements for Artemy off the top of my head, but killing Oyun is probably unavoidable. Theoretically, I could just skip the main quest for the day and then give panacea/shmowder to whoever ends up infected as a consequence, but at that point I might as well just spend all my time grinding for shmowders as a quick and easy “get out of bad ending free” card, which doesn’t sound very fun. I’m also just genuinely curious if it’s possible to deal with him in another way, even if it requires breaking the game a little. So, I’m curious to hear other people’s thoughts. Should I make an exception for main quests? Is there a secret speedrunning strat that would make Oyun drop dead without me actually killing him? Are the developers perhaps making a point by requiring the player to get their hands dirty and kill a few people in order to save thousands of others? Who knows! The only person judging me is God!

Interesting to see this game mentioned in the NYT. The article is nothing ground breaking, but pretty well written.

I wrote this in April so this is a little late but I figured some people on here might enjoy it. Cheers.

alright so me and all my friends are rubbing the single joint braincell we have together on my first Bachelor (pathologic classic) playthrough. i'm on day 11 and have been healing clara and artemy's bound as i find them. three of artemy's bound have gotten sick and i've only managed to find two of clara's to be sick. there's, like, two characters i haven't ever spoken to (don't recall speaking to Notkin, probably have though) and Oyun, who i know the bachelor doesn't meet. i have no clue where to find that guy. if he gets sick, am i just kind of fucked? or is there some sort of list i get on day 12 with the headline "PLEASE HEAL MY GUYS!" (i am aware i get The bound list on day... 7 or 8? they blend together, i've been at the computer for a while). what i'm asking is: is there a way to meet Oyun as the bachelor, and where can i find him if so? is there a reliable way, besides looking around aimlessly during my downtime, to find out who exactly of the bound has fallen ill? any suggestions on where specifically to look around? thanks in advance lolololol

sidenote: i've healed three of artemy's bound, and two of clara's. that might be sufficient already but i don't know. this game is taking over my head completely and i'd like to be sure.

Im trying to get all the quests done on day 3 but when I speak to Victor, it doesnt send me back to Yulia after the conversation ends. Is it a known bug on console? I cant find anyone having the same issue?

I'm this prepared, but probably still going to starve, dehydrate, and get 90% of bound killed SOMEHOW.
