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)

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 is 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 appears to be suffering, but her hypocrisy is all to easy to see through. If she was genuinely wanted for an involvement with the February Riots, or that 'Caravan of Kidnappers', then I have no doubt that 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 this 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 she is, Aspity is a good person. She talks about death all the time though. She even once asked me why there was no Subarova tomb at the Stone Yard cape, and yet when it was to appear-she had looked so innocent. She respects me as a mistress, which is something that I simply cannot brush aside, especially since my followers abandon and betray me with each passing day." (HD)

Sticky: "She's quite mysterious, that one! 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, that one! No one knows how she came to be in the town. Unlike others, she isn't in danger, because just like Simon, she is immortal. They say that after Simon had cast off all that was evil within him, the Steppe had provided bones for a body, and that that was how she 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 humming a lullaby. She offers gifts to them too, quite unusual gifts sometimes: typewriter carriages, birthday gifts with candles lit. She also obviously has a great affinity for music, even though she plays no instruments- her singing is enchanting, but raspy, as if she was constantly 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 her breathing: she inhales deeply, loudly, and hoarsely, as though its hard for her to take in air, or as if she was going to break into tears. Her breath is fresh though, clean, even sweet scented somewhat. Which is quite uncanny considering her line of trade, and she talks to me as if 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, they even sometimes 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, but the thieves all call him 'Big Bad Grief', even though he is merely just 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 have managed to get a firm grip over the workmen community. If only we had direct communication options with them, then there would be no need for those parasitic 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 its the masks that play him, not the other way around. This theater generally gives me a dark vibe... I cant really put it into words. Its as if its just masquerading as a theater, It is intimidating. Also, Marks mime shows seem to incorporate us too... everyone plays along to avoid disrupting the performance, and that is exactly how he manipulates 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 persons fate, they impose it. Id really like to see someone grab and pull this puppeteers strings, or maybe we ought to loop the whole thing, and offer the strings to the people on the very bottom. That would be very entertaining... 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." "Were friends with Murky, even though she's just a lil tot. Ill have you know that she's actually very independent. One thing she 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 sinister like... 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. They both died 5 years ago, although im not sure how - as no one will tell me, for they're always weeping. As for her eating dirt, that's simply untrue. At least ive 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." "Notkin used to be Khans best friend. Im not sure what their quarrel was about, but most likely it was about Notkin not wanting to dance to Khans whistle. For what its worth, they also say he was banished from the Polyhedron by the Mother Superior - before she had returned to the 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 'Soul-and-a halves.' A dangerous game, specially seeing how Grief isn't afraid of Father in the slightest. He took a risk, a risk that drew other misfits to him, and thats 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, encyclopedic-ally educated, well versed in mathematics and physics, and has a appreciable background in astronomy. With that being said, his chosen field of study is decidedly occult, but it is impossible to disregard how successful he is at it. However awkward it may appear at a first glance, the quotidian and numinous often complement each other quite 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 imply internal likeness, he is too deranged to be a good ruler. Were he say, to rule our country. He surely 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)

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)

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 that there are still things in this world worth hoping for" (HD)

Katerina: "I am afraid when I think of what times wait for our city when she grows. It took Victoria, I, and even the Kain's themselves to hold Nina the terrible back. However, little Capella could not cope with that herself. I wont be on this world much longer, and Victor dotes on her... Yet if not her, then who else 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 are being established in the town. Personally though, I would have preferred the next triumvirate to be led by Victor. Alas, Victor is loathsome of anything that has to do with fame, authority, or public adoration. He has every right to claim the throne, but he will surely 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 that could control Nina the wild. She obeyed Simon and Georgiy, but only out of respect for the families morals. Although Nina listened unquestionably to Victor, he never demanded that of her. Its quite mysterious, how did he tame that demon? And why did he allow her complete 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, humble... and perfect. She also possesses a very unique kind of spiritual austerity and purity. She sets the bar higher for herself than 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 to be very nice, but I cant stand the way she thinks. Her fatalism is depressing, and its appalling to see a mind so bright base its theories on 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. Yet I find that he runs the Kin so smoothly, civilized people usually cant find a common tongue with our Steppe people: you have to turn into a beast regularly in order to communicate with them. I think that they've stricken some sort of secret pact. This peace must 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. He watches over the arteries and holds a firm grasp over the economy. The Abattoir, the factories, the warehouses: the trading processes themselves are completely under his control. The Subarova's and I have abandoned our attempts to interfere with his domain. We don't have the slightest idea of the bull projects day to life, I wouldn't be surprised to one day find out 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 his family; even if his father wont admit it. Yes, he chose to study the Kin instead of the intricacies of economy-yet he already knows better than his father. He'll grow to be a better manager and a will enact rules 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 loafers most refined skill, is wasting my money. He's rather quick witted when it comes to money though. Ill grant him that: yet that's 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 control over the minds of the children. However, my surly younger brother is indelicate and spiteful of her... While Capella remains smart and gentle. Khan lures people in with the promise of freedom, while Capella does so with kindness and love. Ill 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 attempts to hammer into into their heads. She claims to be a priestess-but what gave her the right? Her mothers 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)

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)

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."

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."

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 always of others, never about himself. 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."

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)

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." (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..."

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..."

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)

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."

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)

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)

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)

Again 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)

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)

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)

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
