Is the pathologic to disco elysium pipeline real

If it’s not it absolutely should be. Basically if you like one game, especially for the writing, there’s a 90% chance you’ll like the other

The way I see it is less of a, “One leads to another,” and more of a, “They’re two rooms in the same house, and they’re next to each other, and once you open one of the doors, you’re more likely to open the other.

#honestly the disco elysium to pathologic pipeline would be even better bc it would mean more people playing pathological two #asks #anon #personal #pathologic #disco elysium #hey do u like complex east European stories about the nature of humanity and nature and the different ways people influence the world?#do you want your Every decision in a game to be meaningful?#does the idea of being a dude who spends ages walking to other peoples houses to unravel secrets and get told lies #does that appeal to you?#what about dialogue trees where you Really need to think about what you’re saying?#how about learning what is magical and what isn’t and if that distinction matters?#what about games where So many of your actions have consequences of different natures?#then try Pathologic 2 and Disco Elysium today #fucks sake there’s no leveling or skills in pathologic but it still manages to be more of an rpg than most of the ones that have come out #recently simply bc. u get to. actually play a role. and make decisions based on what part of the role you lean into more #disco elysium is the less stressful of the two but. they’re both amazingly written with beautifully complex stories and mechanics that #will slap your ass so hard with their narrative and immersive effectiveness #both games are ridiculously immersive #in pathologic I feel like the weight of it all really is in my hands and that that means something to Me as the player #in disco elysium the writing is so good that I saw an innocuous detail on a character wiki and started crying because #I felt like the characters in that game were so True and knowing that Kim Kitsuragi did crosswords out of work hours #that just felt like a punch to the gut for some reason.#yeah #hope that made sense!
