VTM : Bloodlines

[Shadowhide]

Someday i will make a 0 humanity playthrough.

its possible to play with 0 humanity ? i mean you won't be in never ending frenzy ?

Did you break the masquerade all the way?

no,i break masquerade 2 times in my first ever playtrough

0 times in second one

it's kinda bullshit, by midgame i could take those two fags

which ones ?

by the way,playing as nosferatu is real fun

[i30817]

No you wont. Only if you're hit and low blood (it's more dangerous in CE, because low blood damages you). And freenzy is actually pretty dang powerful, if you have high brawl/defense/physical stats try it. On CE the highest animalism power is "Free the inner beast" that does what you'd expect, but with the other disciplines active and controlable.

 

 

what happens when you lose masquerade:

 

 

1: the prince warns you

2: hunters start being spawnned

3-4: hunters get more bold, you'll probably need to fight in the streets, prince gets progressively more pissed off; dunno if any other effect (there might)

5: cutscene where you are decapitated by the sheriff (IIRC)

 

 

 

If you're doing nosferatu, talk to the hostess at the diner

 

Be prepared to run away though.

do you know how to make Threse kill Bertram in clan quest mod ?

[Shadowhide]

how different game will be if i be playing as female ?

[demagogue]

I started up a new game last week and picked a Tremere woman just because she was the coolest looking one IMO. I haven't noticed too much difference yet ... a few little things in conversations. The ladies still flirt with me.

It's a bigger difference being Tremere than female. But I haven't got too far in yet.

[Xarg]

There are some things that are different as a female

 

 

In Hollywood at the graveyard, as a male your options are to 1> guard the graveyard while the guy goes and gets a hooker, 2> get him a hooker.

If you're female, you can have sex with him yourself.

 

[Shadowhide]

even when you are Nosferatu female ?

[Xarg]

Couldn't tell you, I haven't played Nosferatu (I'm going to assume the answer is no, however.)

[i30817]

Some of the ladies don't like flirts (try it on the giovanni map - that was great, one more than the other though) with a female. There are also one or two guys around.

Props to Chris Avellone, but i always chose her. I think she'd do well as a vampire and her secret will kill her - or would before retrovirals - the others secrets, i think only the one of Avellone's "son" can get him killed. Actually what am i saying, they'd probably all die, and the souls forged into household objects. Giovanni can go fuck themselves (and actually, they'd probably all dead in cutscene even if you "infiltrate" - how to move a 3 ton sarcophagus from the "basement" without being noticed. ??? How did it even get in ???. Tiny logical flaws).

I like that sometimes the "persuade", "intimidation" or "seduction" doesn't work even if you are maxed out.

For instance, if you try to "persuade" the prince at some point there is a dialog option that is just too much butter-ing and he tells you to stop laying it on so thick. Same deal with those dialogs on the giovanni mansion.

 

 

Nosferatu - it's a no-no (except by bugs i guess). Nosfearatu shouldn't be able to raise their appearance higher than 0 so it must be a bug if you get seduction dialogs (although seduction is actually a combination of appearence and subterfuge so maybe there are some overlooked dialogs).

 

In p&p nosferatu can mostly get by since one of the obfuscaste uses is illusions.

 

Therese will kill Bertram automatically when you start the Clan quest malkavian. It's a bit shoddy to be honest (reused dialogs, cutscene flaws, taking away player "immediacy" by being cineamatic while the pc is not there which doesn't happen anywhere else IIRC except the very last part of the ending). The quest itself is fine (and the reward is the most powerful one you can get,

 

 

though it doesn't have much of a difference if you haven't left quests not done - don't do this for Lilly & the other "unicorn blood" quest though, the thin bloods will leave after hollywood is acessed, and you can only get the malkavian clan quest then

 

 

), though having no opportunity to save my buddy Bertram sucks.

no,everything is with nosferatu,i'm not getting seduction lines

by the way,i noticed that you can flirt with man while playing as male with high appearance feat thats kinda gay but still cool

[Xarg]

I played a Toreador male with high seduction and appearance etc, managed to feed off the rich guy waiting for the tow truck at the very start, he didn't seem to mind at all

[i30817]

He's the only bi one IIRC.

[Shadowhide]

He's the only bi one IIRC.

no,there is one guy in downtown

[i30817]

I think CE (or clan quest, can't recall) adds seduction targets in every hub map (and some bars, ie: the anarch's). I should have said: only one Bi from the original game.

 

I always feel bad for the girl at "Bishop's Vic" place. I hope she got out ok, but the fade to black & locked door doesn't really indicate yes or no.

looks like a bug...

I rescued Barabus,but nothing happens when i trying to call Gary...noone replies when i calling 888-5....

[i30817]

Go to your haven. There a phone there.

 

I had a bug with that too (2 actually).

 

First bug, caused by the second: i couldn't find the phone (thought the ingame computer mouse was a phone), so returned to the chinatown pay phone (after changing maps from the LA map) and got the "normal" sequence, buggy cutscene and all.

Second bug: the phone is on the lower floor of your haven (at least the LA hotel one) on top of the counter opposite the "kitchen area".

But the icon doesn't appear, the offset if fucked - i had to stand on the counter and look to the horizon (not down, to the phone) to get the icon.

Trippy.

 

So i think you can either leave the chinatown map and return to the public phone to get gary's call, or go try in your haven again.

i like credits song,it fits perfectly

 

ok,completed games 3 times as Gangrel,Malkavian and Toreador

so... how Ventrue'es domination skill make game different ? its just replacement for persuation/dementation or it will give me a new stuff ?

[Xarg]

You can also use it in combat

[Shadowhide]

is that true that developers were planing to give player an option to work for Andrei instead of these camarilla assholes ? or its just a rumor ?

[i30817]

It's true. Talk to andrei with low humanity on the first time you meet him in the snuff film house.

 

The tremere dominate options are limited to dominate 1 or 2 (can't recall). But even if you play Ventrue, there are very few uses of dominate anyway.

[Shadowhide]

not now,i completed game for 3 times in row and i think i wait till new version of patch or clan quest mod before 4 walkthrough.

what exactly he saying ?

[HeartofShadows]

Answer the ending question.

There are 5 endings in the game.

Side with prince lacroix, side with the camrilla, side with the anarchs, side with ming xao and then there is independent.

 

Anyway I loved the game too and wanted to post this here for anybody interested.

Basically a team trying to convert bloodlines to half life 2's source engine because the original vtm was on a beta source engine and modders really can't do anything with it. If this succeeds than this would give a whole lot of freedom in modding vtm bloodlines(new quests, places, etc).

[i30817]

Actually, i just checked, and he has no humanity checks:

 

{ 81 }{ It is not for me - it's for the will of the Sabbat[suh-BAHT]! The Camarilla [cam-err-ILL-uh]is stunted; dead and festering in the womb, good only as pawns of the fathers. Even now, they answer the call of the Ancient and seek to free him from his torpor. }{ It is not for me - it's for the will of the Sabbat[suh-BAHT]!

{ 82 }{ The Ancient? }{ The Ancient? }{ 161 }{ }{ }{ }{ }{ }{ }{ }{ }{ Ancient? }

 

....

[Shadowhide]

that means player were able to join sabbat ?
