I remember this one...

I thought it was poorly planned out, and badly voice acted.

but hey....a free sword and machine gun made me happy that I did it. And that's what really matters....

right?

maybe? :shepicide:

sooooooooo

You're playing ranged and you don't have the anaconda? :stare:

Or do you just not have enough money? :ohdear:

Either way, glad to see that:

A: This lp ain't dead...er...undead?...er...screw it.

B: Somebody else agrees with me that this is the point that ranged starts over taking melee.

Wesp....all comes down to Wesp.

Don't remember which patch it was, but being able to save him was added a while back.

Not that it does much, but considering the other "fanfiction" sections added that might be a blessing in disguise.

Curious as to why you bought the katana.

Isn't the broadsword that you got from that oh so awesome (now with 20% less sarcasm) library level almost (if not equal) as good as the katana?

Granted, it's a katana, but that would have saved you some dough, you know?

IIRC, Ming-Xiao is also one of the conversations where a Malk can freak someone the gently caress out by knowing things they really aren't supposed to know.

And that is by far one of the best reasons to play a Malk in this game (which is quite an achievement considering Malks are already awesome).

Wiping that condescending look off her face, if only for a moment, was amazing.

Also, love the china town music.

This is the ONE location where all the girls aren't bisexual. Any attempt to woo the ladies (as a lady) will be shut down and have negative consequences, purple text be damned.

Of course this was done for obvious reasons (being that the Giovanni REALLY look down on that kind of stuff).

I wish there was more of that, honestly. Or at least make the # of male-to-male seduction opportunities the same # as the female-to-female opportunities. As it is, running around in female bisexual land is ... weird.

Eh....I'm not particularly a fan of "everybody is bi" in general. It cheapens characters in my opinion. This applies to the whole "all females are bi - except ones that belong to the creepy Italian family" thing too.

Tiggum posted:

"Everyone is bisexual" is pretty dumb, but it's somewhat reasonable as a way to make sure all the content is available regardless of the player character's sex, but it's unusually common for it to only apply one way, women are bisexual, men are straight, and that's obviously done mostly to appeal to teenage boys rather than for the sake of making the player character's sex irrelevant.

I disagree. I dislike Entitlement/Pandering in games. Like I said it (in my opinion) cheapens characters, and I approach games with the intent to see strong characters and story. And I don't find it even remotely reasonable.

Regardless, you're entitled to your opinion and I respect that. I just don't feel the same way period.

Fellow Neonates, we are Ventrue. It is our obligation to uphold the Masquerade, and the best chance goes with those that have the best resources. I speak of the Camarilla of course.

However....

The Prince has failed us all. He has proven to be a traitor and has brought shame to our Clan name. As such, I propose that we go to the one person of power in the Camarilla that we know, and while we may not fully trust, has given us no reason not to yet. Indeed, he has given us much in the ways of magic and information. Resources worth more than gold.

I say we go to D - Strauss

Essentially because Nines, while well meaning, is ultimately using you (just like everybody else, except the two mentioned by Rosa).

Nines really is the prince of the Anarchs (despite how he would HATE that comparison). He plays the political game just as much as all of the other players.

It really is that simple.

team overhead smash posted:

Nines might get involved in Kindred politics, but there's a big difference in approach between him and the other and he doesn't use you.

He's open about his intentions and gets people to follow him out of choice rather than through threats or trickery. He leads the anarchs because the anarchs look to him to lead, not because he's old enough that it's his turn or because he was given an eight foot tall completely obedient Sheriff to kill anyone that disobeys him.

That's one way to look at it I guess.

I disagree, but whatever :)

WESP allows us to save Heather from the Sabbat by joining Andrei beforehand? McD, please let us see this branch, unless that's the only way to join. It'll be gold either way. But I've been getting the impression you can join after the hotel assault too. Are there one or two chances to join the Sabbat?

Actually, WESP allows you to save Heather period. If you don't join the Sabbat, you can just tell her to remain indoors and not leave at some point. You don't get the body armor, but you do get to keep your ghoul.

While :spergin: on ghouls, do they inherit any traits from their domitor? Knox mentions something about rash, Malkavian Heather goes somewhat crazy and Romero is seemingly good shot (as presumably Isaac's ghoul). Is that aspect of VtM proper, and how intense is it?

Malk Heather is actually rather adorable in a crazy wacko sort of way.

They never had the Sarcophagus if I recall correctly, they had the professor. And a really, really big bomb is not that useful for getting information out of an human, especially if said human doesn't know the info you want.

Lacroix would totally try prying open the sarcophagus by force, the dumb princeling isn't exactly subtle, but only if he was desperate. At the moment, he still believes he can resolve the stalemate in his favour and recover the key.

Good to see this lp back in action.

I can't help but feel that this mod would be a hell of a lot more tolerable (despite it's other, many, many warts) if they toned the difficulty down just a notch. Some of the stuff actually looks ok, if poorly thought out.
