They aren't just insane, they can actually see the future. The only problem is figuring out which bits of dialogue are just your character being nuts, and which bits are actually telling you about the end of the game/various missions.

It is.

DON'T OPEN IT

Hindshks That is what made them so fun to play in my 1st playthough Once I realized they could see the future I had to actually find what was just them being insane of them predicting the future not just know it

right on the money!

thanks

gottem

S U C C

literally thanks bro u saved my life

Gabriel Reyes YOU LIED!

Yeah, I'd put it right up there together with Alpha Protocol :D

NosferatuTodd And Fallout (not 3 and 4)

***** Then bathe

Medics shouldn't be allowed to deliver sick burns like that.

Also, I agree with Ärnust and to John Peacekeeper I haven't had the chance to play Alpha Protocol yet, but I've heard good things about it

well obviously hes malkavian

My first and only playthrough was Malkavian. It's the best clan to play. Every other clan is boring by comparison. Dialogue is like half the game, and Malk dialogue is 50x more entertaining than the regular dialogue.

shoulda been nosferatu you noob

I malkavian'd on my first play through

It's better to do a Malk run for the second playthrough. A lot of their dialogue hints at the story and it's easy to miss the jokes if you haven't gone through it already.

That's what I was thinking

Clouds buster sword is a rip off of guts dragonslayer

Unlikely. Cloud is far too much a pretty boy to be compared to Guts. Apples and oranges, both with giant swords.

How many people do you execute?

The Buster Sword is thicker than the sword shown, at least at the base. The weapon that the execution is shown with resembles more of an armor slayer. Basically the weapon used to cut through a man _and_ his horse. There are bits in the John DiMaggio speech where he tells you about how bullshit most of the vampire killing techniques are. The religious junk. So vampires are probably born with *thick skin* or the ability to survive being chopped by a pansy sword. That or the guy was lazy and decided he wanted the sword that required the least amount of swinging force to use effectively. Those things are fucking heavy.

yes

Malkavians recognize who the taxi driver is at the end of the game. They're the only clan that does.

A friend of mine told me that some npc literally spoils the story ending if you play this race.

Yep, yep, yepparooni. Also Malks get to yell at stop signs and converse with the tv.

+Relhio i think you're talking about the chick on the beach that can give prophecies foreshadowing the plot. iirc Malks can get more out of her than other clans I wouldn't say she *spoils* the ending, bc she's pretty cryptic. But she does explicitly warn against making a certain fatal mistake that results in the bad ending.

hmmm that's probably a reference to SEX

Pyro?

Pyrocynical Oh shit

BOB SAGET RAPED AND KILLED A GIRL IN 1990

Did not think you'd be here

sons out gons out

Is it the most compicated? Lol, I played as malk for the first time and it felt slightly tough only during some boss fights. But in general that walkthrough was fun as hell!

+Terenfear It's the most complicated in the fact that every single piece of dialogue was rewritten for this clan, so it's a general rule to play through the game as one of the "normal" clans (not Malk or Nosferatu) to get a feel for the game, and so you can know what the dialogue options are. This is honestly a level of detail I've never seen from just about any other dev. The amount of time and dedication it took to basically rewrite the game for two of your clans, and also rewrite other options for every other clan, is something that you just don't see anymore.

They're complicated due to their interactions as their responses are nonsense since Malkavian's are batshit crazy. Gameplay-wise, the only clan that really complicates things is Nosferatu.

my first playthrough was a malk. never regret it

Toreador ftw

A Saturday night special is a medium power pistol worth less than $200. A great example is the Raven Arms MP25, or after 1991, the Phoenix Arms HP25A (Phoenix bought the Raven patent on the gun in 1991), which back when this game was new, could be bought for around $120. Usually, they were .22 or .25 chambered small pistols with 6-8 shot magazines, and were responsible for 70% of firearm murders in the late 1980s and 1990s. I own a Phoenix Arms HP25A. It is a shitty undersized pistol, the slide bites your hand if you're not careful, it is inaccurate past about 20 yards, and .25 is a pretty underpowered and expnsive cartridge these days. It's still deadly in close quarters, and with 6-7 shots, you could kill a person or two very reliably. It's also very small and light, making it ideal for concealed carry. It has a well earned reputation.

nice informative comment

Wow. That was a fascinating read. I looked that thing up on Wikipedia, I didn't even know they made semi-auto pistols that small. And I thought the PPK was a baby gun! Due to the old detective and gangster media of the 20th century (or, more accurately, modern references to them because those are way before my time) a Saturday Night Special will always be .38 snubnose revolver, though.

...what? They're vampires, that's not specific enough to tie into anything that I can think of.

@@Lucifronz Tying in to the main plot and end of the game; something about a specific grave that is particularly not-good. And something that is very dead. I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone reading the comments of course

If you still interested in some amazing let's play of this game try Cryaotic's one. The dude is hilarious!

That was the one I tried watching, I got through two episodes before I lost interest. Thanks for the suggestion though

I would advise to play this game by yourself: writing and quest design are amazing but this playthrough doesn't show it properly.

He made Criken's Colosseum as a test for ICU, if I recall correctly.

***** THISISAGUN3 I'm aware that it was a test for ICU, but I'm hoping it can be a thing even after ICU comes out.

+Toughhoneydew You asked if he would make a Colosseum for ICU, and ICU IS the Colosseum

"That door"? Is that before or after the fight with the big brute in the tower? I played with only bugfixing patches but didn't get past that guy since I was all speech and guns and died instantly

*****​ The one in Ming Xiao's base.With the bar that just won't move in vanilla

John Peacekeeper Been too long since I played but I do vaguely recall there being a weirdly unopenable door towards the end. Is there anything spoileriffic behind it?

***** An awesome boss fight ad the key to the Ankaran Sarcophagus

John Peacekeeper cooool

And Marcus Fenix

And Grand Wizard Wakka, brudda.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines Fantastic game; clunky as shit, but worth every minute

+Evilmonkey3X It's actually an awful game, clunkiest piece of garbage since Resident Evil 1. It's basically Ride to Hell: Retribution; The edgy rpg vampire simulator. That's why it's hilarious. Imagine an awful third person action game, meets an equally awful first person shooter, meets an ok pen & paper RPG that was unfortunately dragged into some heinous orgy of awfulness. That's Vampire the Masquerade. The hideous, retarded child of several awful things, and one mediocre thing.

Goodness, a Cursory glance at it's steam page would tell you this is wrong as Fuuuuck.... But ya know, who cares about a game that the publishers rushed, forced the devs to work on a Beta version of the Half-life 2 engine, and then went on to try to patch the game with unpaid work and is still being patched by fans to this day, therefore making what you said untrue to anyone who's effort is above that of a obese orangutan.
