I'm really sad that the looting, bartering and robbing won't be in the game. Although I get the reasons why, it means we'll inevitably get a different kind of story. Great part of the appeal of the story to me was seeing how the Bachelor's city ways didn't work at all in the town and had to adapt to survive, even if he had it a little bit easier thanks to his contacts and resources

for me it just seems not right that this educated snob from the capital is looting and robbing

My favourite part of the original game was how you got to see the events from three viewpoints, everyone scrambling to survive through the same 12 days and desperately making decisions that occasionally hinder the other two. I'm just not sure if it'll have quite the same punch without the open world and desperate pressure of survival.

It's nice to see that IPL are still working on the Bachelor Route! Maybe they even will be able to finish it before the release of HL3 😂

There`s a new post about bachelor in their russian group in VK (just got posted today). Though its pretty short, but still shows that IPL didn`t neglect their anticipated project again like in 2019

I'm sad to see the survival mechanics go. In Patho1 it was very interesting to see Bachelor struggle with everyday life in the town, being brought down to a level of normal people, so to speak. I'm a little bit concerned, if Ice-Pick isn't over-designing mechanics for him. I don't yet see a consistent vision, which would glue it all together. However, as long as I will be able to know the important people of town, from a different side, than Artemy did, I'll be happy XD I have trust in Ice-Pick. The volunteers system seems encouraging. I would be very interested in seeing Danill being able to make decisions, that would later change how the town gets organized, to best repel the Epidemic. For example - having limited resources, and deciding if they should go into food gathering/processing, or building barricades, to keep the infected isolated form the rest. Therefore resulting in more food, but bigger infection risks for a district, or something like that. You know, so he can make some stupid mistake, and I can enjoy how admirable, and pathetic he is at the same time XD Is it foolish of me to hope they'll make the Clara route soon after, and then remake The Void? Yes? Oh --_--

im sad to see survival mechanics go but even when i played patho1 i was wondering how would bachelor even "know" to look through the garbage, plus it does feel weird that none of his rich friends would feed their valuable puppet. i just really hope it has other hard-ass mechanics to make up for the desperate fight for survival

While I'm someone who will also miss the classic survival mechanics a lot, reading what they said about the route is telling me this does not mean resource management is gone - you've mentioned The Void, and that game, even tho it doesn't have a hunger meter, dumpster diving etc. is arguably a much more difficult "survival" game than any of the two Pathologic games. The unique way that game is played is giving me hope and confidence in them, they always love putting resource and time management in all of their games, and I'm sure Bachelor will be no different. I'll still miss the classic survival elements, since those always felt like they'd put you into the feet of a regular human being trying to survive the plague - however, it is a fair point they're making that the Bachelor is *not* just a regular human in the town. His story is much different, and I'm sure the game will be just as confusing and difficult to manage, it's just that you'll be managing different things than your hunger and exhaustion. It's a cointoss in my eyes, whether the new mechanics end up being as fun, engaging and immersive as the Haruspex ones were. But I think there's potential, and I am *sure* it will still technically be a survival game, in the same way The Void is one.

tl;dw the real bachelor route was the friends we made along the way :)) /j

from the volunteers to the time to the detective style. it almost sounds more akin to an management strategy game. instead of the survival resource game that was the haruspex. almost like an entirely different genre of game. it'll def be interesting.

As long as they’re still some interaction with the haruspex in the bachelor’s route, and hopefully some serious aspects of choice, then I’m happy

Great video. I liked the fact that the Bachelor route will be diferent from Haruspex in gameplay terms. I trust IPL will do ,at least, something interesting out of it.

Idk about the removal of the open world, combat, and survival. This just feels kinda weird. The Bachelor’s fight to survive in a world with no respect for his position or importance was really good in the original and I’m not sure if we can get the same feeling from what they’re planning. Icepick Lodge are great devs but I’m definitely sad to see the original Bachelor experience go.

I mean it's not going away, pathologic classic is still there and is different from pathologic 2

I think the lens meter is for research. This might mean the Bachelor will actually have to track down the Sand Pest (and different variations of it?) instead of avoiding it.

As long as I can set all the difficulty sliders to 200%, I'm happy

An all Patholgic themed channel? I'm in.

Thank you for the video! Hope this time the game gets way more attention, just as it deserves!

I think the place very far from the town is where Measley and Thrush hail from. I believe the place very deep is the another part of the Abattoir.

You make some really great high quality content about the best video game series of all time, and you only have 988 subs? Thats insane. I know our community is small but congrats to you on all the effort, nothing but respect for your content and I hope you dont get dissuaded by the low sub/view count. There's definitly room for you, and all this work youre putting in laying a foundation for your channel is gonna explode as long as you keep it up. Trust me, when the bachelor route gets its trailer or finally gets announced, youre gonna see a massive boost in popularity. So stay consistent, dont give up, I promise things will work out man. Content like this will never be massive but it wont go unnoticed for long

I'm just happy 'cause the concept art reminds me of Disco Elysium, lol.

Oh. My. God. To tell the truth, through all these years I really thought that they simply decided not to release Danniil and Changeling routes at all. But this... This is something. May be in next few dacades we'll get at least one of them. OMG why do they do this to me... *Desperately waiting mod on*

Bachelor route is the friends we made along the way! (ty for the video!)

The Bachelor is ridiculously overdue at this point. It's kind of a shame they're stripping so many of the gameplay elements that were already finished (fighting/bartering/looting/the open world), adding more work to make it a different experience when they really didn't need to. Maybe they just got tired of "making the same game twice", but I'm not sure if whatever they're adding might've instead been better suited for an entirely new game. That being said, it's Ice-Pick Lodge, and they pretty much always bust out something interesting and thought-provoking in the end. I do have confidence it's going to be a good experience in the end... but I have to admit the information given so far does make me a bit worried.

As a person who haven't played Classic and only played Patho2, I can say about Artemy and Daniil that I was worrying about their routs being alike. I thought it would be really stupid if bachelor would have just exactly the same mechnics as Haruspexs. This is especially true for bartering (especially with kids). For example, playing as Haruspexs I clearly saw that kids love him (and they have a reason for that), and that they don't like Daniil (and they have a reason for that too). So it would be quite silly if Danny could barter any regular kid, as Artemy did. That is why I've always thought that in bachelor's route we'll get something partly or completely different in case of mechanics. I also believe that fighting (if there'll be one) must be completely different for him. Because he is not a huge gorilla strong half steppe dude, he's other animal. Roughly speaking, he's a metropolitan doctor. He will obviously be using other ways to solve his probles than Artemy will. And I believe it will be intriguingly. I heard that in Classic they (Danny and Artemy) have pretty much the same mechanics. But Classic is biblically old, it's mechanics are outdated in some way. So my thoughts are: if they trully see now that to make this story more interesting they need to change some mechanics, then let it be so. I'll be glad.

Дамы и господа. Поднимите ваши театральные бинокли и взгляните на сцену. Что за персонаж стоит рядом с главным действующим лицом? Что ему нужно от Даниила и почему тот понурил голову? Акт 1. Сцена 1 #Pathologic2Bachelor Feels like Wea re getting some serious stuff upcoming, lads!

no way this was 9 months ago... i'm drinking bleach. bachelor come home.

This is really strange, but as someone that's never completed a route in Pathologic, this might be my "in". I wonder if the game will still be super stressful but have a more abstract, unified resource management mechanic like The Void, and perhaps figuring out the game's rules and win conditions will be the real puzzle, like Knock Knock. Cuz even though it doesn't sound much like Pathologic, it reminds me of other IPL games.

I'd prefer a really complete changelling route

is it gonna be an update or will we have to pay?
