    Historically, there was a period when multiple people were accidentally buried alive (they had fallen into comas or otherwise become unresponsive and declared dead). Don’t remember the details, but essentially, they started burying people with little ropes tied to bells on the surface. That way, if you woke up underground, you could pull the rope/ring the bell to alert someone to dig you out.
    Not sure if the bell graves in the game are a reference to that

    • @plumli4947
      @plumli4947 Před rokem

      I think it was just clever grave salesmen who knew people were afraid of being buried alive. A dead human body is really shockingly different from a living body, even after just one hour, there really is no way you could get confused unless it's the first 15 minutes when your body is still trying. But after the Civil War burying people started becoming something you pay other people to do rather than something you did for your family, at the same time there was a lot of war in Europe and the Americas so people became very worried about dying, so there were all sorts of batty products funeral directors were selling at the time to convince you you'll be safely in the ground with them.

      @li.ssstik.9488 Před rokem +10

      i think the bells might have something to do with the religion of the kin being centered around bulls, rather than with the idea of being buried alive. in part one it is mentioned that only very special people get to be put back into the earth, and with a Bos Turokh, the great bull being a body that embodies the world, it would make sense to respect the most honored of the dead in such a fashion. Only speculating though :)

    • @ryuail
      @ryuail Před rokem +6

      I assumed that in part the reference of the bells for freshly buried bodies in Patho 2.
      Does cast doubt onto Grace's ability to commune with the dead though if she's unable to determine if someone is truly dead and the bells are needed for accident burials.
      She might just be a broken little girl after all if that's true.

    A pretty obscure thing that me and likely many others didn't know about: Termitary has a second, more convenient entrance - it's near where one of the workers jump off a building on early days.

    Very cool, I had no idea about most of these things. I will say that I think you got a piece of Aglaya's death wrong. If you do not tell her to leave town, when she dies you can actually find her body in the grass on the right side of the town hall. Presumably she tried to deliver the orders herself and was shot before she could reach the general. I think one of the other commentors mentioned this, but a neat detail is that if you try to perform an autopsy on her you'll find that she doesn't have any organs.

      Those item stashes are lifesavers, and you can find them in other places across town as well. From what I’ve seen, they don’t exactly respawn every day, it’s more that items are added to them daily until the container is full.

    Another cool thing I noticed: In Pathologic HD Classic, you can hear cats meowing all the time, but there is no cat to be found. In Pathologic 2, the same happens with dogs barking!

      Sorry for bumping, but this made me interested whether the translator(s) put that in as a reference or if it's just a fun coincidence. Like, the phrase is so specific, but I can definitely see how "Welcome to the machine" would be in someone's mind unintentionally as just, like, a cool phrase. Particularly with how big Pink Floyd is in the english-speaking world. But it'd be fun if it's a little English-only easter egg, as most of the language easter eggs are often locked to the original russian :)

    Super interesting video. They put a lot of effort into this game for things most players would never see. Pretty cool. I think my favorite was the one at 11:19 with the ice pick lodge head reading The Rat Catcher by Alexander Grin in some random warehouse, sort of reminds me of the invisible cat from the first game in a way, an esoteric detail that adds a mysterious flavor to the world, while probably adding more meaning to the game if you knew the story, or were one of those clever people who can understand metaphors (not me).
    Also, at 3:57 крюк is just the Russian word for 'hook', it's pronounced 'kryuk' like the translator wrote, you got it correct.
    And I hope you don't mind this unrelated random question, but Big Vlad's nickname, Böos, do you know how to pronounce it? I've tried figuring it out, but the letter 'ö' doesn't even exist in Russian. It bothers me every time I read the word.

    Regarding the russian word at 4:08 - kryuk is the pronounciation. I would say kryok is a better transliteration. The letters are pronounced roughly k-r-yio-k. So I think it's the translation that is "hook", and not the pronounciation like you thought. I don't know much Russian but I can read cyrillic.

    Few things....the 5 and 3 dice roll that equaled 8: Russians are extremely superstitious and all even numbers are bad. They only bring even numbers of flowers to cemeteries. Odd numbers are always preferred.
    In the hospital on the day you fill in for the orderlies, they'll go over this superstition a bit.
    For the Marble Nest cemetery in the Steppe...this is where Daniil goes if he dies. You'll wake up there and a "shepherd" dude will ask you if you want things to change. If you agree, he will move the day forward to either the afternoon or night, depending on when you arrived there. The shepherd is there even if you didn't die. He's chillin' by one of the big rocks.

    There are more of those Polyhedron lamps, one is at Murky's Corner and another outside the Soul-and-a-Half Fortress
    Here's some intereting things about the Diurnal Ending:
    I managed to save the Polyhedron somehow, I slept through the bombardment and it's still standing in the town so Peter's wish of going out and seeing her standing again was fulfilled. When I climb it there are kids there with a message from devs just like in the Nocturnal ending, that's also a good kind of secret thing to mention.
    There aren't any people roaming the streets, the only characters in town are the bound spread around in places marked on the map, ferrymen, random people and traders inside buildings, but there are a couple also still sitting at Shekhen and the Devisers on the tower, the wiki says they should appear on a stairway to heaven normally but they don't here where they are at the tower.
    You can use those ferrymen to advance time when it should be frozen.
    You can take the fund reward even though the hospital was closed and it's the ending day.
    If you took the deal but you had a save in the diurnal ending before, you can load it and have it as normal, the deal doesn't mess with it if you already saved there.
    I think this is a thing in Marble Nest but I also noticed the buildings in Bridge Square and Atrium have metal placks with symbols and Roman numbers, no other districts seem to have any address system outside of those two. Behind a house across from the Willows there is a weird pink cabinet along with a children's stash, I don't think I've seen another one of these, they also both gave me insane loot but it was at the ending which seems to make loot rates really good in random containers for whatever reason.

      Yeah p1 artemy is a genuine ripper with quite a cold heart, seeing as he attacks children and kills Willow despite claiming that he'll take someone whos already dying. It really seems that he was just lying to the bachelor to seem better/more moral than he actually is.
      Obviously hes not evil in the sense that he doesnt do it without good reason but still, hes on that "any choice is right" grind and is quite intimidating for it

    I heard you could save both khans and not kill all the odongh in the abbatoir, but every time i try i end up having to kill them anyways. Any tips?

    Don't forget that this game is Russian. Initially, there was no reference to Pink Floyd. And the same meme with an onion from Pathologic.

    So the condition to trigger the number bug is to insult her huh? I’m genuinely surprised it didn’t happen to me more often.

    There is no reason to heal both Vlads Olgimsky before 9th Day. Game saves them for your choise, who should die in termitory.

    Just a quick correction: “L’appel du vide” does literally translate to “the call of the void,” but “vide” is pronounced veed. Great video!

    Russian word for hook would be pronounced kryk, no idea where the extra u comes from
