Trojan Kaiju posted:Looking over the responses to that tweet suggests that Mitsoda is down for a new Vampire game, though I'm basing this off a tweet lumping him with someone else, who responds for him. So it could just be a string of people talking out their rear end. Mitsoda left inXile to move and start his own studio but I don't think he's actually doin much. I assume all the guys between Obsidian, inXile, and him are still amicable though.

I've never thrown money at a kickstarter before and always thought of them as terrible gambles but goddamn I would throw obscene amounts of cash at whatever paradox comes up with no questions asked

Also, uh, Paradox's CEO retweeted Obsidian's tweet, so I'm starting to think that they might actually be discussing something, at the very least.

Mitsoda joined Obsidian after Troika went bankrupt. IIRC, he worked on NWN2, an early version of Alpha Protocol, and the cancelled Alien RPG. Afterwards, he founded his own indie studio, DoubleBear Productions, and released the zombie/survival RPG Dead State. Not sure what he's doing nowadays, aside from writing parts of Planescape: Torment 2.

Depends on your bloodline and supporting stats. Toreador are good with guns, brawling for Brujah as I recall. Celerity is so powerful you can do what you like though. I murdered everything as a melee Toreador using celerity in one of my first playthroughs.

I murdered everything as a melee Toreador using celerity in one of my first playthroughs. Yeah, it really doesn't matter. Auspex and Potence both boost guns or melee, respectively, but you don't need either to do well, and honestly both of those disciplines are sort of underwhelming once you get to high level. They're better in the early game when your weapon skills suck rear end, but become less and less necessary as you progress.

Haven't played this game in years, recently picked it back up in the Steam Sale. Trying to get the thing to run. Let's start with system specs and then we'll work up to what's been installed and what I've done up to this point, along with what is currently working: Win 7 64-bit Intel i3, 3.3 GHz, 4 cores 6144 Megs Ram 9173 Mb Page File Nvidia GeForce GT 520 I've got the base game from Steam (so the 1.2 Patch has already been installed). I have the Clan Quest Mod, which includes Wesp's unofficial patch + arsenal. Also used the respatcher to set to 1280x720 for my monitor. Steam is set to run as admin, Vampire.exe is running in compatability mode for XP-Service Pack 3, visual themes and desktop composition are disabled, running as administrator. Steam is set to run the -game CQM command, so that the Clan Quest Mod will actually work and I don't have to use the shortcut the CQM installer threw on my desktop (because I couldn't get it to "find" Steam). The game starts. It plays the opening videos, no black screen with sound. Main menu loads, I can use the options to make changes. Pressing New Game will attempt to load the character creation screen, at which point the game crashes. Here is the important bit of the crash log: Crash Log posted:* * * Vampire Crash Data Log, Generated From Exe Built On: Oct 6 2004 * * * Engine.dll seems to be the culprit, trying to load a location that does not exist, but I am no programmer. The stickied steam thread was no help, most people were stuck before they could reach the part I'm stuck on. Help me Vampire thread. You're my only hope. *UPDATE* Deleted everything, redownloaded. I hadn't tried running the base game prior to installing the CQM, and lo and behold I'm still getting the same loving error, so at least we know it's a problem with the game in general.

GuyUpNorth posted:This used to have problem with Steam's autoupdates. Tried disabling that first in case of conflicts? Nope, figured it out, and boy is it loving stupid. The dll's steam gives you? Garbage. Complete loving garbage. You gotta replace those dll's with the ones from the unofficial patch. Which brings me to issue two, which is where I hosed up. Yep, it was my fault. The instructions for where to dump the files from the CQM state to put it in the Vampire sub-directory. The main folder for the game is Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines and within that folder is, you may have guessed it, a folder named vampire. Installing to that folder results in not-very-much-at-all as none of the files are in the right place, and if you didn't actually pay any attention to the file structure beforehand, you won't even realize you hosed up. Considering that I found a number of posts online where people had the same issue (which "magically" fixed itself on a reinstall, go figure), I don't feel so bad about my cock-up. The game runs, it's in widescreen, CQM is working properly, and Jack is just as great a character as I remember.

OctaviusBeaver posted:What works best with celerity: guns, melee or brawl? You'll want melee up first so that you don't have problems feeding mid-battle. After that you can choose either but I usually get melee and then later on guns too (best gun is magnum imo). If I was going to pick one it would be melee. I use the fireaxe until I get the brush hook. In the days when I cared I used to scum up a torch early on by provoking hunters by breaking the masquerade but it's hard to get the torch ones to show up so now I just bumble along until I get a fire axe. The sword swings faster but its attack pattern isn't as good. I don't usually dink around with raising anything combat related until celerity is at 4 or so if I start with it because celerity is so much stronger than anything else. Sometimes I'll put some brawl in for battle feeding earlier. raton fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Nov 1, 2015 |

Ok, where did that rear end in a top hat Wesp move the nameplate to? It's supposed to be in Kamikaze Zen someplace. I'm guessing he's moved it to a different spot with each of the 97 versions of his patch, and rotated it counterclockwise several times as well. I don't use his plus patch, but I know that little bastard still sneaks in changes anyway.

Oh, so it's been replaced by a money clip - read: the money clip that I'm pretty sure was there originally. Good god, Wesp. I read something about being able to pick up some of the nameplates (which I guess are on the desks?), so maybe that's it?

Dark_Swordmaster posted:Wait, what nameplate? Money clip? What? I've not known about these things in my X playthroughs, what is it? Mitnick's Schrecknet jobs, in this case the Chinatown one at Kamikaze Zen. You're supposed to make it look like a robbery, which involves breaking into the vault. Depending on what kind of version of the unofficial patch you have, it's either a nameplate that's supposed to have some important tech in it, or just a money clip. I believe it's money in the vanilla game as well. EDIT: This thing. quote:Use either computer to run the 'net security' application (password: nirvana) and enable the last Schrecknet hub for two points of Experience. Log into the 'vault' application as well (Larry's last name spelled backwards, password: nippelhcs) and open it up from here. The room across the hallway from this room is the vault you just opened, which contains a $500 money clip lying on the floor.

Ah, weird. What's the nameplate do for you? I haven't done that part of the quest in four or so runs because it never did much for me and that late in the game the reward couldn't do a whole lot for me. Or so I thought, that was based off vanilla and version 5 or so? Way early.

I started CQM. Did they seriously give Jack a dialogue before he says anything, specifically to call the player out if they cheated stats? Or does the Camarilla mod do that? I really don't feel like using whichever mod got that insular.

Pretty sure the maker of a mod wouldn't have gotten in touch with John DiMaggio and had him record a new line of dialogue specifically just to call you out for cheating. But yeah, that's been in the game since it was released.

Just finish the conversation, then cheat. IIRC, the game doesn't allow you to continue if you cheat beforehand, or it resets your stats down to normal, so you might as well wait a few seconds.

I guess I'm just surprised that it came from the developers? It felt like enough of a lack of confidence that I assumed it had to come from the mod whose faction rebalances I was negating.
