do you happen to know which facial expression is the “autizm” one from classic hd? i cannot stop thinking about this lately of all things they could have called it they went for “autizm”. thanks in advance! :)
Thanks for sending me on this quest! It's been a few years since the discovery of Autizm, and in this time the Pathologic community has developed advanced tools for its analysis. Namely, Gorkhon Script Editor allows the viewing of bytecode scripts, which are where LifeStudio:HEAD facial animations are controlled. With GSE, pathologicdialogue, and somevideoguy's string unpacker, I was at last able to find dialogue lines that, with 100% certainty, cause the Autizm facial expression for each character.
For Grace and Murky, Autizm is a pretty similar expression: they look directly forward. Grace stays still, while Murky raises and lowers her head slightly. However, Grace's Autizm is distinguished by being on a 15-second loop (Murky's and Peter's both last 10 seconds.)
On the other hand, Peter's Autizm expression has almost no eye contact - he looks away and up, occasionally glancing at the player.
There's more to discuss about the process of tracking these down... I'm tempted to do a quick video about it in the near future, schedule permitting. (Look under the cut for the example dialogue lines that you can find to see Autizm for yourself.) In conclusion,
