![]() : Look, doctor, I got two whole screens of skill checks I can try. : Well, gently caress him, maybe he shouldn't have become a bandit. : It's not for me, it's for a dying man in the factory. : You appear perfectly fine! Stop wasting my time with stupid poo poo! TheGreatEvilKing summary posted: : Hey doc, I need your help. : Sometimes to save a life, it's not enough to simply offer medicine, doc. The irony of the strength option - we never gave our word as a bodybuilder, so that is a lie - is actually kind of funny. Hoo boy, this sure is a line in the USSR game. : But his intentions were good, doc! Have good intentions ever lead to something bad, huh? Like, ever? : But he was wounded protecting the people of Otradnoye from a raid. ![]() I think they switched translators here, because I am 99% sure this is supposed to be a McCoy "I'm a doctor, not a rapper" reference. There's a badly wounded man dying in the Factory. Whatever! Let's go atone for our murder by trying to save a man's life. His backstory includes a lot of fuckups over both his personal and professional life, and it says a lot that even though he's probably the most moral leader in the game he has you go stealth murder a man while muttering weak rationalizations about how it was totally necessary and he had to do it. There's a lot more to Kovalev that we haven't seen yet, but he never really comes off as competent or the sharpest tool in the shed. TheGreatEvilKing summary posted: : Hmm, our tech guy is held captive? Well, go break him out! is a bandit?" and bemoans not listening to him. We've already seen the scene where he goes "of COURSE! The man who straight up said he was a bandit. The problem is that any sort of resistance would be led by Kovalev, and Kovalev is kind of a gently caress up. ![]() : I have intel on the captive inside the bandit camp. I made a big deal about how in theory you could organize a trap for the bandits or a popular uprising or whatever by being a double agent secretly working for the villagers while pretending to be a card carrying criminal. : I have something to tell you about the bandits. So, we can actually update Kovalev about the bandits here. Anyway, we've gotten enough into the Prokhanov Zone last update with Dan the Bandit and the Untrustworthy Worm Gang, so let's go visit a completely different leader. Incidentally, the specific Virgin Spring reference - as opposed to the folk song - seems to be the work of the fan translators the devs hired, hence our confusion. However, you need understand that each of our authors brought their thoughts and ideas with them to ATOM, based on life experience, watching movies or reading books and it is rather difficult to single out any main source of inspiration. The themes of totalitarian states, human choices and their consequences. We were really inspired by the Strugatskys, for example, their trilogy about Maxim Kammerer (Xander's note - i.e, and the sequels).
