hm. i have a lot of thoughts abt the marble nest and the presence of that fucking panacea in the game

#patho #as someone who is just constantly thinking abt artemy. holy shit dude #like theres. one or two times in the early game in which daniil just instinctively mentions artemy like he's alive #(most notably after you get the medicine out of the building and dont try to bring the panacea. dont think it happens if you do but) #(a couple times to the steppe people once or twice to the kids yknow) #but when daniil like acnowledges that artemy's dead its always in reference to the panacea he was working on #so it is pretty fucking jarring when you go to steal medicine out of the building #and a vial of artemy's fucking plague cure is just. sitting there! #even MORE jarring is the fact that if you try to get it out of the building (by dropping it to the kid) #it will break. every time. #you just have to leave it to rest there (the haruspex can't help you anymore.) #so since i havent seen the long term consequences of breaking the vial i wonder if daniil mentions artemy at ALL after the point at which #its broken #cause uh that was the moment for me as the player to really fucking register that yeah artemys dead in marble nest huh #(wonder if that was the moment for dankovsky as well.)
