Pathologic Wiki talk:Community portal

Quotes
We're gathering the quotes the characters say about each other.

'Important note: Please keep in mind that quotes should ideally come from Pathologic Classic HD'', which has an updated translation. If you can only find quotes from the original game post them here for reference, but the final version to go into the characters' profile will be the quotes from the latest translation.'''

Sorry its been a while since the last update, ive been busy with work/life. With that being said ive finally been through the game and found most of the quotes for each character, those I still need are: Khans updated quotes, Oyuns, and Lara. When I finish playing the game, I will add those as well. I will add the quotes after what we already have, and I will mark them with a (HD) at the end. I dont want to just erase what we have, just in case you guys want alternate translations to the HD Classic. So this is why I shall mark it as such. It is worth noting that some of the differences between our translations are minor, this is just how it was written in game. Also, Once you guys give the ok, I will transfer all of these quotes to its character specific profile. Just like it is on the Icepick wiki. If you guys have any questions about these let me know- ComradeCarl


 * Great! Thank's a lot. I'm still playing the Bachelor scenario and I haven't found any more quotes beside the one about Maria, but I'm not finished yet, so let's see... —Southquarter (talk)

I didn't think anyone would have noticed this yet, as I haven't finished typing yet. With that being said, I wouldn't worry about it, Im far enough in the game that I will soon add the rest of the characters quotes. It should all be done by Saturday, Sunday at the latest - ComradeCarl


 * I watched this page automatically when I created it, which means I get e-mail notifications. By the way, did you find all these quotes in the Haruspex scenario only? —Southquarter (talk)

I've been adding some quotes on some character profiles to see how it looks like. The quotes are on the info box, but I don't mind putting them on the main section of the page under a "Quotes" subtitle, since it does make the info box look very tall. I'll go over the quotes and add the missing HD ones shortly when I start the Haruspex scenario. —Southquarter (talk)


 * I have just discovered that clicking on the NPCs portraits during conversations gives you the quotes in question. Well... derpish on my part, but that's solved now. —Southquarter (talk)

Anna Angel
Peter: "The poor girl lost her voice. I sympathize with her because she keeps a stiff upper lip, and I do not like accidents. I have a strong feeling that she is being judged for someone else's sin. Every day she awaits a visitor who will remove her soul. Such torture, you know, not just anyone could withstand." (fan translation) "The poor thing has lost her voice. I sympathize with her because she keeps her chin up, and I hate whiners. I am thoroughly convinced that she's paying the price for someone else's sin; a haunting visitor eager to rip out her soul is coming after her any day now. At least that's what she thinks. A lesser person wouldn't have managed to endure such torture." (HD)

Yulia: "Anna pretends to be unhappy, but I think that it's a double game. If she was wanted for the February uprising or the Caravan of thieves, she would have been found a few years ago. No, she's not there cheating fate. The Caravan cast an ominous imprint on her life, like everything connected with it--but what?" (fan translation) "Anna affects to be suffering, but her hypocrisy is all to easy to see through. If she was genuinely wanted—for her involvement with the February Riots, or that Caravan of kidnappers—she would have been found years ago. She is able to trick her destiny for now, but her luck will run dry soon enough. The Ace of Diamonds Caravan has left a ghastly imprint on her, the way it did with everything it was linked to... yet the nature of the link between the caravan and Anna remains a mystery." (HD)

Aspity
Katerina: "She's a good person, albeit with quirks. Constantly talking about death. She gave me the most innocent look and asked why the Bridge Square still does not have a crypt for the Saburovs, and whether it will be there soon. Honors me as a hostess, which I cannot not appreciate, when my followers leave and betray me every day..." (fan translation) However odd, Aspity is a good person. She talks about death all the time. She asked me once why there was no Subarova Tomb at the Stone Yard cape and when it was about to appear—and she looked so innocent. She respects me as a Mistress, and that is something I cannot simply brush aside, especially since my followers abandon and betray me with each passing day..." (HD)

Sticky: "She's quite mysterious. No one knows how she came to the Town. She isn't in any danger, either, because she is immortal, like Simon. They also say that Simon expelled all the evil from his soul, the Steppe gave the bones for her body and that is how she came to be!" "Such a mysterious creature. No one knows how she came to be in the town. Unlike others, she's not in danger because she's immortal like Simon. They also say that after Simon had cast off all that was evil in his heart, the Steppe provided bones for her body, and that's how Aspity was born." (HD)

Grace
Katerina: "She speaks with the dead. Sometimes she sits in front of a grave and softly sings. She brings things to the graves, sometimes unusual: for example, a typewriter carriage or a festive cake with candles. Very musical, but does not play any instruments. Charmingly sings, yet intermittently, as if gasping for breath." (fan translation) "She speaks to the dead. Sometimes you can find her sitting by a grave and humming a lullaby. She offers them gifts too, quite unusual sometimes: typewriter carriages, say, of birthday cakes with candles lit. She obviously has a great affinity for music, but plays no instruments. Her singing is enchanting but raspy, as if she was short of breath." (HD)

Aspity: "Laska is strange, even unhinged. One remarkable characteristic of hers is her breathing. Her breathing is deep, loud and very raspy, as if she barely takes in any oxygen or as if she is barely holding herself back from weeping. Her breath is very fresh – aromatic and sweet, even – something that, considering her profession, should be quite creepy. She talks to me as if I am dead." "Grace is nuts, plain and simple. You can easily recognize her by the breath; she inhales deeply, loudly, and... hoarsely, as though it's hard for her to take air in or as though she was about to break into tears. Her breath is fresh though, clean, even sweet-scented somewhat. That is actually rather uncanny considering her line of trade. And she talks to me as though I were dead too." (HD)

Bad Grief
Peter: "Well, what is he? The manager of the warehouses, but not just a storekeeper. There's a whole fraternity of thugs. They conduct some kind of economy through Big Vlad. The gatherers are included in sale of twyre and the affairs of Grief. Sometimes, rarely, locals are allowed a weapon in the course of doing so. However, they are driven expertly..." (fan translation) "What is he? A store keeper that neither keeps nor stores. He's got a whole community of birds of his feather there. Somehow they manage the warehouse business past Big Vlad's pocket. They accept twyre-gatherers and throat-cutters as their brethren; uncharacteristically of the locals, sometimes they put their knives to use. But really, their twyrine is something else..." (HD)

Vlad the Younger: "His real name is Grigory Filin, and thieves call him Father Grigory, even if he is really a whelp. Griff lords over the underworld. He deals in everything – especially things that are forbidden. Father is, unfortunately, forced to endure his reign – Griff is embedded too deeply with the local workforce. If we had the capability to work with the Order as closely as he does, then we wouldn't need such parasites to act as intermediaries for us..." "His real name is Grigory Filin. The thieves call him Big Bad Grief, even though he's merely a nuisance. Grief is the kingpin of the shady world. Name any prohibited item—and rest assured they're selling it. Father has no choice but to tolerate him; somehow these loafers managed to get a firm grip over the workmen community. If only we had direct communication options with them, there would be no need for those parasite middlemen... or should I say meddlemen?" (HD)

Mark Immortell
Lara: "I think the masks play with him, but not him with them. Generally in this theater I sense something wrong... I can't explain it. As if this is not a theater, and, well, what only pretends to be a theater? I feel a threat in him. And Mark likes playing us his pantomimes. He does play it up, so as not to destroy the idea - so he shows us ourselves with a wink." (fan translation) "I think it's the Masks who play him and not the other way around. This Theatre generally gives me a dark vibe... I can't really put it into words. It's not a theatre, but rather a well pretending to be one. It's intimidating. Also, Mark's mime shows seem to incorporate us too... everyone's playing along to avoid disrupting the performance, and that's exactly how he's manipulating us." (HD)

Maria: "I find him alarming. Because he imposes his game on people. The funny thing is, if there is someone who will draw the thread and find the hands of the puppeteer. Then perhaps that person will encircle them, discovering the end of the thread at the same time, held by someone at the bottom? That would be funny... Well, whatever it may cost me, I will conquer that crafty devil!" (fan translation) "He makes me anxious; his performances don't show a person's fate, they impose it. I'd really like to see someone grab and pull the puppeteer's strings. Or maybe we ought to loop the whole thing, offering the strings to the people at the very bottom? That would be funny... All in all, one day I shall tame this crafty imp—no matter what it takes." (HD)

Murky
Sticky: "I'm friends with Mishka, even though she's a small fry. You know, she is very self-reliant. What she loves, though, is digging through the earth. She also has a habit of frequently, with a very busy look, going into strange, evil places at the most inopportune of times... I can respect that." (fan translation) "We're friends with Murky, even though she's just a little tot. I'll have you know that she's actually very independent. One thing Murky is seriously fond of is digging and playing in the mud. You can also sometimes see her push along somewhere looking all preoccupied—and the places she chooses are usually, like, sinister... I respect that." (HD)

Aspity: "Little Murky, the orphan. Her father and mother are mine, near the eastern fence. They died five years ago. I do not know why; they do not talk, just cry all the time. What she eats is the earth - so it's just not true. I have never seen such a thing." (fan translation) "Little Murky is an orphan. Her mom and dad lie by the eastern wall here. They died five years ago. I don't know why—they won't tell me, they're always weeping. As for her eating dirt, that's untrue. I've never seen it." (HD)

Notkin
Capella: "Notkin was Khan's best friend. I don't know, exactly, what was the reason for their feuding – I think, it's because Notkin refused to obey him. However, they also say that Notkin was exiled from the Polyhedron by the Mother Superior – even before she returned to the orphaned Apiary." (fan translation) "Notkin used to be Khan's best friend. I don't know what their quarrel was about, but most likely it was about Notkin not wanting to dance to his whistle. For what it's worth, they also say that he was banished from the Polyhedron by the Mother Superior—before she returned to the orphaned Termitary." (HD)

Khan: "After the Mother Superior left, we called him back, but proud Notkin refused. Instead, he made a den in the warehouse district and began to play there at "Dualsouls". A dangerous game, because Grief does not fear him. Notkin took a risk, but he has attracted to himself renegades like him. Thus they created their slum community." (fan translation) "After Mother left, we invited him back, but he, in his pride, refused. Instead he chose to dig a lair by the Warehouses and play the "Soul-and-a-Halves". A dangerous game, seeing how Grief isn't afraid of Father in the slightest. Notkin took a risk, but that drew other misfits to him. And that's how they started their slummy society." (HD)

Georgiy Kain
Yulia: "A powerful mind. Encyclopedically educated, good at mathematics and physics, and versed in astronomy. That in this situation he deals with magic only makes one respect his achievements in this field. I believe in the rational analysis of irrational things." (fan translation) "A potent mind to say the least. Encyclopedically educated, well versed in Mathematics and Physics, has appreciable background in Astronomy. With all that, his chosen field of study is decidedly occult. And it is impossible to disregard how successful he is at that. However awkward it may appear at a first glance, the quotidian and the numinous often complement each other very well." (HD)

Alexander: "George is not the heir to Simon. If they are similar in appearance, it does not mean that they are identical internally. Cain is too insane to be a good ruler. If he were to rule our country, he would turn it into some kind of theocracy." (fan translation) "Georgiy is no successor to Simon. Semblance in appearance doesn't necessarily imply internal likeness. Kain is too deranged to be a good ruler. Were he, say, to rule our country, he would have turned it into some kind of theocracy." (HD)

Kaspar (Khan) Kain
Eva: "Kaspar is the leader of the dark children. He has many adherents. Fantastically brave boy, it's a matter of respect. Like all Kains, since childhood, he has been autonomous, and owns secrets that have repeatedly proven effective. While resorting to them rarely, the knowledge is not divisible. He and Capella share power in the world of the children of our city." (fan translation) "Kaspar is the dark leader of the children. He has a lot of followers. An extraordinarily courageous boy; that alone is reason enough to respect him. Like all Kains, he's been practising Novel Art since childhood. He is privy to mysteries that often turn out to be genuine and effective. It's not often that he refers to them, sharing the knowledge quite unwillingly. Capella and he are the rulers of the children's world in our town." (HD)

Katerina: "This is a mandrake which has grown in greenhouse conditions. Initially, a domineering and smart kid got a chance to manage an epic affair, unable to foresee what price he would pay for it." (fan translation) "He is an ivory-tower mandrake, born and bred. An imperiouds and smart boy that's been offered an opportunity to do deeds of an epic scale, without any regard for the price that will have to be paid for them." (HD)

Maria Kaina
Andrey: "Maria is concealing her true power for the time being, but it has already become apparent that she will stop at nothing when the time comes. Her sheer power will justify any despotism that would spring from it. The brilliance of her talent is going to surpass even Nina's one day. Maria will be grabbing stars by the handful while sipping earth's magma. And that means there are still things in this world worth living and hoping for." (HD)

Katerina: "Whenever I imagine what this town is going to become when she grows up, I feel nothing but dread. It took all of us to hold Nina the Terrible back—Victoria, me, and even the Kains themselves. Little Victoria will not be able to stand up to Maria on her own; I will not be staying in this world for much longer; and Victor adores her... so who will harness the midnight filly?" (HD)

Victor Kain
Yulia: "Soon the city will develop a new power configuration. I would prefer the next generation of the triumvirate be under the leadership of Victor, but Victor is not ambitious. You'll see, he volunteered to give his daughter what rightfully belongs to him. As before, when he did not correct his terrible wife..." (fan translation) "A new structure of power relationships is being established in the town. Personally, I would have preferred the next triumvirate to be led by Victor. Alas, Victor is utterly loathsome of anything that has to do with fame, authority, or public adoration. He has every right to claim the throne, but he will hand it over to his daughter. Just like he did before, when his terrifying wife was still with us." (HD)

Andrey: "Victor was the only one who had authority over the savage Nina. Simon, with George, she always obeyed as elders, in deference to their strict family tradition. But Nina obeyed Victor unquestioningly, though he did not ask her to. Here is the mystery. How did he subdue this demon and why did she give her freedom?" (fan translation) "Victor was the only person who could control Nina the Wild. She obeyed Simon and Georgiy too, but that was only out of respect for the family's strict morals. And yet Nina followed Victor's word unquestionably—although he never demanded that from her. It's all very mysterious. How did he tame the demon and why did he allow her complete and unrestricted freedom?" (HD)

Yulia Lyuricheva
Eva: "Clever Yulia, I'll never be like her. She is so quiet and modest - but she's perfect. She has such a special spiritual purity and rigor. She asks everything of herself more severely than of others. And it is very interesting to think of. I never did learn ... " (fan translation) "Yulia is a very smart person. I could never match her intelligence. She's quiet and humble... and perfect. She also possesses a very unique kind of spiritual austerity and purity; she sets the bar higher for herself than for the rest. Yulia has a very intricate way of thinking. I could never learn to think like she does..." (HD)

Lara: "I am sympathetic to Yulia, but I cannot stand her way of thinking. This fatalism crushes. Terrible when such an intelligence builds a theory on lies. In my opinion, predestination is an abuse of human freedom. Perhaps the cause of her certainty lies in her past, when she worked in the Carotid group." (fan translation) "I find Yulia very nice, but I can't stand the way she thinks. This fatalism of hers is depressing and crushing, and it's appalling to see a mind that bright base its theories upon a false foundation. I believe that any predetermination is an insult to the freedom of choice. I guess it all goes back to the past, when she worked with the Dream Party." (HD)

Big Vlad Olgimsky
Alexander: "Vlad is both cunning and dour. Doing business with him is quite tough. I find it quite strange that he has managed to embed himself so deeply in the affairs of the Order and lords over them with such ease. Civilized people cannot communicate very well with the Steppe folk – in order to speak their language, one must, himself, turn into a beast from time to time. I believe that there is some sort of a secret arrangement between him and the Order – one bought with a malevolent tribute." "Vlad is a cunning and unfriendly man. Dealing with him is tough. I find it odd that he runs the Kin so smoothly. Civilized people can't usually find a common tongue with our Steppe people; you have to turn into a beast regularly in order to communicate with them. I think they've stricken some sort of secret pact; this peace has to have a hefty price." (HD)

Victor: "The city thrives under his grip. He monitors the work of the roads, keeps an iron hand on the economy. The Abattoir, factories, warehouses, and bartering are all in his charge. We Saburovs for a long time have not interfered in economic affairs, and could not imagine doing so for cases occurring in the Bulls Project. If it turned out that Vlad had established slavery there, I would not be surprised." (fan translation) "This town prospers thanks to his acumen. The Abattoir, the factories, the warehouses; the trading processes themselves are completely under his control. Saburov and I have long abandoned our attempts to interfere with his domain; we don't have the slightest idea of The Bull Project's day-to-day life. I wouldn't be surprised to find out one day that Vlad had installed slavery there." (HD)

Young Vlad Olgimsky
Lara: "Why doesn't anyone notice just how much of a hardworking young man he is? He spends all of his time tirelessly working! He does everything for his family, but his father won't accept it. Indeed, instead of studying the financial intricacies, he is studying the ways of the Order, but now he understands them better than his father ever did. He will be a better ruler, wielding power without whips, violence and riots..." "Why does nobody notice how hardworking he is? He works all the time. Everything he does, he does for the family, even if his father won't admit it. Yes, he chose to study the Kin instead of the intricacies of economy—and he already knows it way better than his father. He'll grow to be a better manager and a better ruler that would make do without a whip, violence, abuse, victims, and riots..." (HD)

Big Vlad: "Prodigal! Instead of settling down and helping me, rather than to learning to manage economy, he is still busy with local tales! Best of all, this slacker spends my money. I do not deny it, he has a good practical mind, considering the crime which he shouldered entirely on his father... But I took it on!" (fan translation) "A high-stepper. Instead of settling down and helping me manage the industry, he'd rather dabble in the local fairy tales. This loafer's most refined skill is wasting my money. He's rather quick-witted when it comes to business, I'll grant him that; all the more shame on him for casting everything on his father. And to think he took after me." (HD)

Victoria (Capella) Olgimskaya
Maria: "Oh, I admire Capella. She and Khan reign supreme over the minds of children. But my surly brother does it so roughly and evilly... Capella is clever and works subtly. Khan is tempted by permissiveness, and Capella by love. I'd love to see her become the white mistress." (fan translation) "Oh, I admire Capella. Khan and she hold absolute power over the minds of the children. However, my surly brother is indelicate and spiteful... while Capella is smart and gentle. Khan lures them in with the liberty to do whatever they will; Capella does so with love. I'd be glad to see her become the White Mistress." (HD)

Vlad the Younger: "For children Victoria is the same as Maria is for us. In any place where she appears, kids go crazy, as if adrenaline enters their blood. But why does my sister give the children the promise of a new life? She claims the role of priestess, but who gave her such a right? The blood of her mother? No, she will not be a Mistress." (fan translation) "Capella is to the children what Maria is to us. Whenever she appears, children go crazy, as if they were given a adrenaline shot straight to the heart. The only thing that confuses me is her promises of a new life that she tries to hammer into into their heads. She claims to be a priestess—but what gave her the right? Her mother's blood? No. She will not grow to be a Mistress." (HD)

Foreman Oyun
Vlad the Younger: "He's not quite a man. They say he is the descendant of a bull. He supervises the work, because he comes from a Menkhu family. Through his activities, the Abbatoir remains a pagan temple at the same time that it functions as a successful industrial complex. How he does it, I do not know." (fan translation) "He's not a hundred percent human. Rumour has it, he's a descendant of bulls. He oversees the work since he comes from a menkhu family. The Abattoir's transformation into a prosperous industrial facility that simultaneously remains a pagan temple only happened due to his efforts. I have no idea how he manages to do it." (HD)

Victor: "Chthonic people run the city from below; they too can attribute to the owners. Everyone has some strong authority within their enclave: the Foreman at the slaughterhouse, Grief in the catacombs under the warehouse. The city barely feels their power. It creeps like invisible tentacles and can be seen in the lack of those who climb alone towards her. For Grief, twyrine is a channel for sales. For Oyun, memories echo with the past of our city." (fan translation) "The lower level of town management is reserved for chtonian creatures indeed—and we cannot simply ignore them. Each of them has established certain reputation within his enclave; the Foreman—in the Abattoir, Bad Grief—in the catacombs beneath the warehouses. You can't really feel their presence in the town itself; it crawls sideways, grabbing those who make an unwitting step towards it with its invisible tentacles. The tentacles being the twyrine market for Grief and the echoes of our town's past for Oyun." (HD)

Lara Ravel
Capella: "There is no one here kinder than her. Lara has taught me that granting gifts is an exquisite art in on itself. She puts all others before herself, at all times. She lives her life for those, whom she cares about. I loved her father very much. Two years ago, he volunteered to fight in the war and joined the 4th Army. Yes - that 4th Army." "She's the kindest person I know. Lara has taught me how to give presents, which is an intrincate art in and of itself. The first thing she cares about is other people; the last is Lara Ravel herself. She lives for her friends. I also was fond of her father. The year before last he volunteered as a Fourth Army captain. Yes, I mean the Fourth Army." (HD)

Rubin: "Since the Battle of the Karst Fords where Captain Ravel was shot, she became an orphan and turned her father's house into an orphanage. By the way - that house was built for Ravels by Vlad Olgimsky Sr., in exchange for a small bauble. She is sensitive, but reasonable – a combination that is very rare around these parts." "After captain Ravel was shot during the battle of Karstov Fords, newly-orphaned Lara turned her father's house into The Shelter. The house that's been built by Olgimsky in exchange for... a favour. She is both sensitive and sensible; a rare combination in our neck of the woods." (HD)

Stanislav Rubin
Alexander: "A strong man in every sense of the word. Can equally easily break your neck and put a joint back in place. Self-taught, but he has a gift. His actions are always for others, never for himself. A selfless person. Principled. One can rely on him." (fan translation) "A strong person in every sense of the word. He can break your neck or set your dislocated joint equally easily. A very gifted autodidact. His main concern is the others, never the man himself. A selfless man. A man of principle. Someone you can always rely on." (HD)

Vlad the Younger: "He is Old Burakh's best pupil. Stubborn. Willful. Temperamental. Will do only that, which he considers to be right, like a stubborn mule. You can't convince him of anything. Ignores all forms of authority, except for that of his precious teacher." "He was old Burakh's best student. Wilful. Headstrong. Sturdy. He will always do what he believes to be the right thing and be stubborn as a mule about it. It's almost impossible to find a common tongue with him. He doesn't respect any authority except for that of his precious master..." (HD)

Alexander Saburov
Yulia: "He is the husband of his wife. At the heart of every home is the union of the mysterious force of the Mistress and the force of power of the male head. So he must rely on force, because Katherine is barren. There will come a time when Saburov will try to make up for the weakness of his wife through absolute administrative power." (fan translation) "He is a husband worthy of his wife. Whatever power each one of the ruling houses possesses is predicated upon a kind of dependable amalgamation between the preternatural power wielded by the Mistress and the magisterial injunctions issued by the head of the family. However, Katerina is known to be sterile, which leaves Saburov with nothing but brute domineering. As soon as the moment is right, Saburov will attempt to seize absolute administrative power. In doing so he will compensate himself for the debilitating misery of his spouse." (HD)

Rubin: "Alexander is a heroic man. When the fire broke out in the Curriers, he, with an axe in hand, was breaking into the burning houses, led people out, and helped put out the fires. It just sort of happened, really. He wasn't recognized by anyone while doing so, and he didn't brag either. It only became known later on, by accident. He is capable of doing great deeds unnoticeable – there is a special sort of heroism in that." (fan translation) "Alexander is a hero. When fire broke out in the Skinners, he took a pike pole into his own hands to break into burning houses, save people, and put out fire. That's just how it was. Curiously enough, he kept his incognito back then and emerged from the ordeal unrecognized; neither did he flaunt his feat later. The truth came out accidentally. That is a very typical situation; Alexander is just that—an everyday hero who often demands no credit." (HD)

Katerina Saburova
Aspity: "She was a queen, but became a witch. She should've known better than to toy with night spirits. When Nina died, she gladly took on the role of the Dark Mistress – all the burden of taking care of the Town fell on Victoria, after all – Katherine was free to play around... She got carried away, though... They say that she has a morphine addiction and that, at night, she gets visits from men with cold skin..." (fan translation) "A queen turned witch. That's what you get for dabbling with the spirits of the night. After Nina died, Katerina shamelessly rushed to take the place of the Dark Mistress; the burden of caring for the town was Victoria's, so petty games were still allowed. She got carried away though... Rumour has it, she needs daily morphine injections and welcomes cold-skinned visitors in her alcove at night..." (HD)

Lara: "Katherine took on herself the brunt of a very terrible blow and has managed to endure it with honour. Who could survive between Nina's hammer and Victoria's Anvil but her? That is how the Town was being built, after all – Nina was forging, while Victoria was holding her back, all the while Katherine kept the powers in balance. You know, I am in awe at the way she and Alexander love each other. In the days of the antiquity, they would be a real king and queen – noble, powerful and just. These just aren't her times..." (fan translation) "Katerina took a hard hit and managed to pull through. Who could survive between Nina's rock and Victoria's hard place? That's how the town worked back then—upon this rock Nina was forging it, while Victoria maintained a firm stance to keep it in check; Katerina was the one to ensure the balance was in place. I also admire how much Alexander and she love each other. They could have been the grand kings of old—noble, resolute, and honest. Now is simply the wrong time for them." (HD)

Andrey Stamatin
Maria: "Andrew impressed me. They are two sides of the same coin. But Andrey is able to do what Peter only imagines. Andrey has the spirit not only to acknowledge that nothing is impossible, as does my uncle, but to confirm that long creative work. As we Kains cannot! It is impossible not to admire such a character..." (fan translation) "I am quite fond of Andrey. The twins are the two sides of a single whole, but Andrey has the capability to execute Peter's fantasies and designs. He is resolute enough not only to admit the possibility of the impossible, but also to implement it through persistent creative work. My uncle is quite capable of the former too, but the latter... A personality like Andrey's deserves nothing but admiration..." (HD)

Vlad the Younger: "Without Andrey's bravery Peter's imagination would exist only on paper. It is unfortunate that both of them are in a bit of a downswing right now. Peter is drinking himself to death, and Andrey spends his time amid perversion and cruel feasts. Such lulls, however, are normal for the artistic folk - they frequently emerge out of them with new discoveries in their jaws." "Without Andrey's boldness, Peter's vivid imagination would have only existed on paper. It's a shame that the duo is in decline right now, really. Peter is a habitual drinker and Andrey wastes his life on debauchery and ruthless feasts. But dormant periods are common among creative people; they emerge from them carrying the prey of new discoveries in their teeth..." (HD)

Peter Stamatin
Anna: "Although it is believed that both of them are brilliant, the true genius is, of course, Peter. These minds are born once in a hundred years. Andrey's talent, however, one must not deny either... But Peter's talent long ago drowned in twyrine and without Peter, Andrey is nothing. Now Andrey believes that it is his job to protect his brother and be a mediator between him and the ruthlessness of life!" (fan translation) "While it's common consensus that both of them are brilliant, you don't need to be the brightest tool in the shed to see that Peter is the real genius. Such people are only born once a century. Not that I deny Andrey has talent... But Peter has drowned his gift in twyrine long ago, and it's become glaringly obvious that Andrey is nothing without him. Now Andrey believes that it is his duty to protect Peter and serve as a middleman between the harsh reality and the drunkard brother." (HD)

Alexander: "Both of them are mad bastards! Peter is a murderer. I would have dealt with him, regardless of his creative achievements, but he is almost insane. Wild, cruel, violent - four hundred years ago there were such artists with a brush in one hand and a dagger in the other, no less skillfully working with paints as with blood! These types believe that creativity justify any sin!" (fan translation) "Both of them are rabid villains. Bonus points to Peter for also being a murderer. No matter what his creative achievements are, I would have ended him long ago, were he not almost completely deranged. Wild, cruel, disruptive; four hundred years ago this type of artists were more than satisfied with using a knife for a brush and blood for paint. This is the kind of people that believe that creativity absolves any sin." (HD)

Sticky
Bad Grief: "This one will make a fine thief – an agile kid. Can steal a ring from your finger and you won't even notice. Knows a way into every house. I'm not even talking about the lockpicks he makes – a true virtuoso! If I ever manage to get to him, I'll definitely be making taking him into my gang. He has a bite, though, and keeps away from me... Maybe, I'll pass my business on to him later on – who knows what will happen, though..."

Capella: The story of the mysterious creature which he met in the deserted corners of the city completely transformed him. It seems that this has already become a mania. Before he wandered to find treasure, but now that desire has completely withered on the long neck of the monster. He believes that it is the last vampire."

Taya Tycheek
Capella: "She's still a baby... in the Polyhedron, she played exactly the same game and won there the same role as the holy child, before whom they trembled and cared for not only as a duty but also because taking care of this lovely being is a joy." (fan translation) "She's very young, almost a baby... Her game in the Polyhedron was generally the same; she also assumed the role of a divine child that was worshipped and looked after not out of duty, but simply because taking care of someone that lovely brings you satisfaction and joy." (HD)

And also Capella: "Children eagerly picked up her game, as the Mother Superior had a variety of detailed information about the way of the world, which had always been a taboo and was at the other end of the spectrum to the Polyhedron..." (fan translation) "The children happily picked her game up because Mother had a lot of information about the Kin—the world that's always been poles apart from the Polyhedron..." (HD)

Eva Yan
Peter: "She fell in love with my creation when it was still a drawing. People are usually surprised by it, but do not like it. Even the children, and only those who are suffering. To love such a place, you need to have a forceful imagination..." (fan translation) "She came to love my creation when it was but a sketch. People are often astonished by it, but rarely is it met with love. Even the childred merely tolerate it. Loving an edifice like this demands vivid and outstanding imagination..." (HD)

Victor: "Eva has virtues, which, alas, my daughter never will. She is tender. She can be trusted. She never betrays anyone. She could become the soul of peace, if not for her strange attraction to death." (fan translation) "Eva possesses some virtues that my daughter, unfortunately, does not. She is gentle. She is trustworthy. She wouldn't ever stoop to betrayal. She could be the Soul of a Focus, were she not enamoured of death so bizarrely and persistently." (HD)

I have alot of quotes on hand, but im not sure what order of characters you would like to do. So let me know, and we can finish this - ComradeCarl

Thank you. I created a list with the characters and their corresponding characters being quoted. I'll keep looking for more quotes. —Southquarter (talk)

Damn man, giving me work! I will add more after I get off work at 11 - ComradeCarl

I truly appreciate the effort. Thank you. :) —Southquarter (talk)

No problem - ComradeCarl

Hello! I have been playing through the game (incredibly slowly) trying to take screenshots of every piece of dialogue and uploading them. It takes an incredibly long time to do, but it would allow us to take direct quotes from the game. I have been taking screenshots from Pathologic Classic HD, rather than the original. I have also been saving before each conversation, taking screenshots, reloading, and then choosing other dialogue options for alternate text. I have been doing this repeatedly until I am able to get every unique line of dialogue for that conversation. It is not at all organized at the moment, and jumps from character to character and day to day, but I have been uploading the screenshots on this Tumblr: http://oynon.tumblr.com/ If any of you would like to take on the task, I suggest one of us takes the Bachelor route to screenshot, one of us takes the Haruspex route to screenshot, and one of us takes the Changeling route to screenshot. If there were more of us, it would take less time and we could divide the task differently, but it seems like there are only a handful of us actively editing the Wiki. I could give you all access to edit the Tumblr I linked above, or we could use a different website to upload the screenshots, though I'm not sure what website that would be. I'm currently in college and have been too busy to work on the Wiki for the most part, but I could continue to help with this task after I graduate this December. Let us know if you have other ideas. —Impostress(talk)

That sounds like a wonderful idea! Using this we can get past the translation barrier and just post in game quotes. Although, im trying to think of how we can format this correctly using said screenshots, but with that being said, I will scour the screenshots (that were so helpfully provided) from the Haruspex's plathrough, and I will save every character description quotes that I can find. And also, with me being most likely, the person with absolutely no life, I will try to add other character descriptions from the other playable characters if you guys find that you're personal life is keeping you busy. I also think that it is worth considering possible adding some of these quotes to character profiles as to provide actual in game context to their descriptions. As a final last last note, I am in the middle of a giant passion project by detailing the word for word text playthrough of the Haruspex (on the Path of Sacrifice link) as a way for those without the game to still experience the story and lore, and so it can be used as a actual from the game quote reference tool. Although, as of now I will try to help complete this quotes page so it can be another great tool for reference. Let me know what you're guys thoughts are and on the soon to be layout of this page. With all that being said, it seems as though we have alot of work to do, so good luck! - ComradeCarl

@Impostress: I'm currently replaying the Bachelor scenario, saving before each conversation, and taking a bunch of screenshots. I'm on Tumblr as slowkindred; add me if you like, and I can upload the screenshots I've been taking if they aren't there already. (I'll also be doing the same for the Haruspex and the Changeling scenarios eventually.) It's true that Tumblr may not be the best tool. I'll see if I can think of a mirror website that works better.

Yes, ideally we should be taking quotes from the latest translation, i.e. Pathologic Classic HD. The original quotes can stay here for reference, but should be replaced with their updated equivalent when they are found.

@ComradeCarl: Don't worry about the formatting—I/we'll probably use the same formatting as that of the Russian wiki. Example: http://ice-pick-lodge.wikidot.com/mor:maria-kaina Playing the Haruspex scenario is great help because I think most quotes come from there. Only, it would be best if the game you have was the Classic HD version.

By the way, when I say "official" quotes, I mean those present in the Russian wiki, as well as in this VK page in image form (at the very bottom): https://vk.com/album-147796_26855593

Everyone take care. Personal life/duties first. We'll work little by little.

- Great! Also, sorry if I had misled you--the archive is far from complete. I had just started to upload some screenshots as some of my friends and I needed them as we were working on the Wiki. I am just barely into Day 1 of the Bachelor route in terms of thoroughly screenshotting conversations. I went ahead and added you (Southquarter) to the archive Tumblr to upload screenshots or organize it as you see fit. With regard to the official quotes on the VK page, my friend 1smalldragon may be interested in helping with that. I can let them know about it. A few and my friends and I could help with the formatting, most likely, but focusing on adding content might be a good idea for now. Thank you two for all your help on the Wiki! —Impostress(talk)
 * That's all right, I know it's quite a task. I don't have that many screenshots myself, but I'll be adding some more now and then. —Southquarter (talk)

I see now, I was a tad confused for a second, but I think I see what you guys are trying to do now. So I will play through again looking for those quotes. I honestly am unsure how to take screenshots in game, But if I can either figure it out or if I can just find the quotes and post em, I will. I will just find the quotes first though. I believe that most of the quotes above are from the original version so I will try to find the updated version and post em as we had before - ComradeCarl

UPDATE: it appears as though most of the quotes above are worded a little better from what ive found. So I plan on just starting from scratch. I dont believe it will be that hard, ,it does has confusing phrases at times so I also plan on editing it in a way that will make sense It also seems that the in game quotes are worded differently than the fan translations you found, so I will try to update them with the Hd classic in game quotes that I find- ComradeCarl

I've been going through the quotes on the Russian wiki and using some online translators to translate them. I'll try to be careful, as of course this is not the most accurate method of translation. All of those cited as fan translations are mine. They'll do as stopgaps for now. - 1smalldragon

Also, I'd appreciate if the source of the quotes could be clearly marked--whether from the HD version, translated from an LP, another fan translation, or from the original English version. That'll make it much easier to know which ones need to be replaced. - 1smalldragon

Based off what I have so far I plan on using only the quotes primarily from the Hd classic version, and just replacing the ones above with what I find, however if I find other sources t.o make it easier I will mark it as such ;) and I appreciate the help with the translator, when I eventually post everything that I have gathered (And ive got a bunch that needs to be converted to text) a second version we can compare with would be a great way to make sure its accurate - ComradeCarl
