For some reason this game is giving me motion sickness. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Hahahaha. I was just playing the game, talking to Jeanette when all the sudden, my dog came in and started barking at the monitor. She's never done this. Anybody else's dog barked at the monitor when playing Vampire: Bloodlines?

SourceElement posted:Also, a question of my own - I did Fat Larry's mission the stealthy way and got an e-mail from someone with the subject "Atonement." It mentioned that it would be in my best interests to kill an accountant named Carl in a building next to the parking garage, but I can't find anyone fitting that description. Am I just not far enough along in the plot? Took me awhile to figure this drat thing out... Carl's actually IN the parking garage, around level 2 or 3 I think. Just sneak in, kill him, and sneak back out again.

Maybe it's an audio thing. Perhaps Jeanette's voice files contain some ultrasonic shriek that irritates dogs and cats.

I know I'm a little late to the party here, but there was some discussion a few pages back about the game never going on sale on steam. I recall getting the game for about $5 on Halloween years ago. Granted the the steam store purchase history only seems to go back to Mar 31, 2008, so I assume I bought it in 2007. But still, it was on sale at least one other time. Also this thread is going to make me play through the game again.

Okay, I have a wooden pull toy shaped like a duck in my inventory, amongst other things I assume are quest objects. Is this poo poo ever going to be used?

If you weren't aware, you receive a handful of side-quests through your email, most of which revolve around locating and retrieving certain objects for the Nosferatu Primogen or the prince. The pull-toy is for the primogen's email quests, which mostly revolve around him trading you cheesecake shots of the game's female NPCs for lost mementos.

Chin Strap posted:However, I've now got a different issue I've started to run into: I've gone melee, and lately I find myslef clipping into the enemies while I try to fight them if I miss. This makes for annoying fights. Eventually I can jump out of the people, but it shouldn't happen in the first place Anyone know an answer to either of these? Melee has gotten awful since this clipping poo poo happened, may just cheat myself equivalent firearms levels to compensate.

Are there any tricks to getting the Clan Quest mod to work on steam? I aimed it at the correct directory per the Known Issues post, but it doesn't seem to be taking.

You didn't put it in the wrong Program Files, did you? I don't know if you have a 64-bit system, but I accidentally installed mine to "Program Files" instead of "Program Files (x86)" the first time. That's all I could think of.

You get the first email quest after the Prince sends you to the Elizabeth Dane, and Gary's start shortly after you meet him. The Clan Quest mod apparently cuts Gary's quests though, so if you're using that they won't show up.

Her voice definitely has some kind of audio filter over it, like pitch-bending or something. They probably just used some frequency when they were filtering or compressing it that's annoying to animals. That actually has me wondering, since Jeanette's voice was altered, if it could be the same voice actor as Therese since, you know. That'd be a nice touch.

Speaking of the voices... I really love the voiceacting but does anyone else get annoyed at the strange audio-quality of the dialogue in this game? I remember I thought it was something wrong with my computer when the game was first released but nope... It just sounds weird.

Its pretty obviously gone through a lot of post production but i never had any problem with it, everyone has a unique cool voice and never really repeats unlike a lot of modern games.

The left and right channels are a little out of sync I think. I just turn one speaker down when I play and everything sounds clear.

This game is super good, so glad I dropped the twenty bones to pick it up. I just killed the Chinaman and am now on to the Therese/Jeanette missions, and I'll be damned if they aren't the same character... don't know it for sure, don't spoil it for me, but I will eat my hat if they're not... Also, I wish I had rolled Nosferatu if only because my character runs like a girl and wears satin shirts. Androgynous male power!

Turn off Environmental Effects in your sound options. This is a known bug with that build of Source, and it happens to everyone. Turning off the EAX makes the audio sound fine so there's no echo.

This weird clipping poo poo is making me stop the game in Hollywood. Half the time when I collide with a random NPC I get repelled back like two magnets at the same pole, the other half I clip right inside the person. I don't get why this started happening  Oh well maybe I'll dust it off again in a year.

What kind of Masquerade respecting vampire just runs into people randomly, sheesh. I put this game on hiatus to play Dragon Age 2 and I am glad I have a competently written game to go back to once I'm done with this other trainwreck. I'm definitely looking forward to the Malk playthrough after this thread, and I'm glad I read this thread first since the little personality quiz at the beginning of the game told me to roll Malk for my first play.

All this time I've suffered from that bug and the answer is so simple? /  I have some questions: 1) Does the warehouse bomb count special vampire time or what's up? 2) Why is there a picture of a clown, titled "DAD", on several walls at Mr. Gimble's Prosthetics?

Actually, those same posters show up a lot later on in the game, when you're in Hollywood, doing favors for Isaac. Specifically when you're going through the snuff film studios in search of the second half of the tape. Those posters seem to show up when the wall art in the area requires you to recognize a seriously hosed up individual resides there. There's more than just "DAD CLOWN" posters - pictures of cadavers, notes to call Larry, anatomy shots of various parts of the human body, and god only knows what else. I think I saw the same posters/pictures at least one other time in the game, though I can't remember where else.

Finally wrestled the game into working condition and am enjoying it. Just finished the first beach house mission. I was told this game has all this deep dialogue, but my 1-intelligence brawler Brujah seems to just hit people in the head with a pipe. It's a living. But I have 2 points in intimidate, when am I going to start seeing dividends on those? Are there any missions to look foward to being a hulking, intimidating bruiser for in terms of megafun?

You're going to want to put more points into that. Even at the beginning, 2 is a bit low to see much of anything. Remember, it's better to specialize early on than try to be a jack of all trades, especially on your first playthrough when you might not be maximizing your XP.

I thought it would be like Mass Effect, where like every other conversation had at least one of the variant dialogues. In that case, I will focus on my true calling, the wanton clubbing of dudes.
