I like how the doomsday guy downtown in Santa Monica will spout out a Godspeed You! Black Emperor reference occasionally.

I got a big laugh out of the person at the blood bank going "I feel asleep!" when you Dominate them.

So I just made it to Hollywood and I'm pretty sure my game is borked. I can't complete a bunch of quests (I never gave the Beach house pendant to Theresa despite getting and completing more quests from her, I can't find Lily anywhere, I can't find the werewolf sample in the blood bank, etc). Is there a way to fix this or should I just start over with a clean install?

Is there a way to fix this or should I just start over with a clean install? Now if you want to complete the other quests keep reading. Ignore the beach house pendant since from what you have said I'm assuming you've gave it to Jeannette. With Lily quest, make sure you do the quest in the order that it wants you to do it. (Once getting the quest, hit up the Santa Monica diner to get the car keys and the bail bond. Use the bail bond at Kilpatrick's Bail Bonds to find the car, open up the trunk and collect the diary then head straight into the Medical Clinic to free her.) The werewolf blood is on the top level of the Medical Clinic. There's many ways to approach that quest so have fun figuring out your way of completing that quest.

I still have the pendant in my inventory, and the Ghost Haunts at Midnight and Spiritual Release quests are still incomplete. I've tried every way of using the bail bond or presenting it to Kilpatrik, but nothing works. I guess I'll look for the sample upstairs, at least. edit: just checked the Krimeputer and found what I was looking for, but the deal with the pendant is still bugging me.

I inevitably have one or two quests that doesn't clear out of the journal correctly when playing the game. I wouldn't worry about it. In particular I always forget to talk to the one nosferatu before doing a certain part of the game.

Romeo Charlie posted:I find that section bearable when you're using the Colt Peacemaker in there. It knocks back the small creatures so they never get a chance to maul you. The little guys aren't any big thing once you realize they can't damage you on their initial leap when you're crouching because the hitboxes in this game are strange sometimes. Note that this doesn't make the sewers any less terrible.

The part where you have to turn off the fan and swim up the pipe with only a few seconds to do it otherwise you get pushed back to the beginning is the worst.

There's a goddam endless swarm of these critters and I've already spent my entire fortune on ammo. If nothing else, this quest line is pretty tense simply because of how badly it drains you of all your resources. There better be a good payoff after this!

This is honestly one of those parts where using console commands for god mode or just noclipping is recommended.

I didn't think you could get to Hollywood without having dealt with the pendant thing, as Tung won't talk to you and let you do the warehouse stuff (which summons the taxi so you can leave the first hub).

I think he did it but the clean-up script or whatever didn't trigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually got the XP/reward for it, but who knows.

Nothing mind blowing, it's honestly just a terribly designed part of the game. In a game that had previously been full of life with multiple solutions to every quest here's a combat heavy slog through a winding maze of a sewer.  I really have to wonder who gave this the green light at troika HQ.

That's a bummer. After the first time through the sewers I just noclipped my way through it every time. Don't worry about it, there's no shame in it.

If you're fighting your way through the sewers, you're doing it wrong. You can literally just run through the whole thing.

It's no secret that some parts are terrible and probably a remnant of the game starting out as an FPS, so god-moding or noclipping through some poo poo is warranted and totally expected.

My first time through I've spent like 10 seconds running around in noclip mode, trying to figure out how to open the entrance to the Nosferatu lair (in retrospect, there's a chance that I could noclip to the entrance with a bit of persistence, but it didn't work when I first tried it so I thought opening the door would end the level automatically) until I finally ventured back into the sewers to find the keycard.

I must admit, I've never cheated my way through the sewer level. I just know the level intimately so I breeze through it when I play it now.

On my recent, first-time playthrough, my experience in one of the later levels went something like this: "That was a really nasty boss fight. On to the next level... hmm, walk around this corner and THE HELL?" *Reboot from last save.* "So, they drop a boss and then put another out as just "dude around a corner," huh? Well, screw this! Time to abuse the stealth mechanics!" Sure enough, you can sneak right past the vast majority of the sewer encounters, including ones standing right in the middle of a passage. Granted, I was playing with the unofficial patch but not the plus portion of it, so the stealth nerf might complicate matters. My only complaint was how much longer it takes to get through all those empty passages while sneaking.

I still go through the sewers slow and legit, Wesp has a history of moving items around randomly and I never want *this run* to be one where I miss a stat book or fetish or w/e. It really is too long compared to every other quest though, if the rest of the game was like that I'd maybe be ok but it's not so it sticks out as a sore thumb. The final quest is long and boring too, but at least it mixes it up a bit with locations and boss fights I guess instead of lame puzzles.

Yeah, really, after a certain point if you've beaten the game once and gotten one of the non-lovely endings you might as well just stop because you've seen all there is worth seeing and it's a big ol' slog until that point.

The sewers were hella annoying, but as a Tremere I just gave myself a quickbind for unlimited bloodpacks to fuel the most hilariously over-the-top murderfest with constant use of Blood Boil to get through it. If this were a later-generation game the sewers would have been literally running red by the end of it all, and I would've looked indistinguishable from my Blood Shield form

It's been awhile, but if memory serves, the katana is really good against the little head things, since the angle it attacks at it basically covers an arc in front of you and melee hits block forward movement. Just swing as they jump at you- shouldn't take more than a couple of tries to get the timing.

Looks like an early game from the current gen, though, if not earlier... janky animations and washed out textures, so... a lot like this game!
