What's the deal with the Plague Doctor?

[SebaBress]

Hi, I'm new to Lobotomy Corporation, on day 11... a bit of a frustrating game I have to admit, but everything's going well as of now. Or was going well I should say, until this plague doctor came about. What I understand is that he "recruits" or "blesses" an agent after a good work.

I discovered how this anomaly works because one of my agents got "blessed". So I saw they could no longer work on the Plague Doctor. I thought "well, that's dumb" and restarted the day to make sure that didn't happen. The thing is that the agent STILL can't work with the Plague Doctor even though they are no longer "blessed".

Is this a bug? That's how it's supposed to work? I doubt it because you can "revive" your dead agents by restarting the day. So this should be the case with "blessed" ones as well.

I don't know. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

it's working as intended, that's all i'll say

It's not a bug. Explaining further would be a spoiler.

Thank you, I appreciate you trying to spoil as little as possible.
If working as intended, however, I'll be avoiding him completely in subsequent playthroughs.

for the record it doesn't stop affected employees from working with other abnormalities it's just employees can't work with him anymore if they've been blessed

Well... You'll see soon.

Yeah, I noticed. My decision remains, however. Thank you.

I doesn't seems that letting him get "followers" amounts to any good, so it won't be happening any time soon. I'm sure it's interesting, but I don't plan of making everything more tedious just for the sake of it.

I suggest you keep in mind that memory repository will let you keep armor and weapons but anything that dead employees lost won't be kept.

if this is your first run, I don't recommend keeping this abnormality, because you don't have the necessary e.g.o to stop him if he breaks out. (a warning from a guy who tries to contain Blue Star in his first run at Day13)

I tried writing it in a spoiler-free fashion, but I'm still unsure whether it spoils anything or not. You've mentioned being frustrated with the game... This might spare you some major frustration regarding the Doc later down the line. So, the choice is yours.

It might sound a little frustraiting, but I'd advice you to change your tactic. The Doctor is... a "brick wall". If he's in the complex, you'll run into him eventually no matter what (and by that I mean all 13 followers WILL be chosen).

You can either avoid him for as long as possible, building up the speed to, MAYYYYBE, break through him (although he'll keep being a nuisance throughout the playthrough with constant switching of the rooms), or you can just go full speed at him right now and see what happens. Perhaps, the results might convince you that it would be better to change your car and go a different route entirely.

I know this post is probably not needed by OP anymore because he got his information, but OP if you could post your reaction if you ever DO experience what we're talking about, please share your experience

[dogaswords]

well, depending on your experience with a creepy clock that ticks down each time he blesses someone... it is working as intended

IF you want to restart, do some core supressions if you can, the boosts from those will help later playthrus
