I still think the weirdest bad at video games support request I've seen is the kid who posted on the Bloodlines forum asking for advice on how to play the haunted house level without having a panic attack.

I remember Redemption pretty well, it had crazy dynamic shadows and poo poo for the time. Made my kickass nVidia card gasp for air. I thought the gameplay was pretty basic dungeon hack and slash with vampire powers, with a lot of stupid stuff like casting vampire disciplines off scrolls and bottles of blood being stored everywhere in chests. Cool areas though, I remember the Tremere chantry and the Cappadocian place being really cool. The story was loving hilarious, it was all about this super embarrassing teenage crush over a nun that Christof just couldn't get over because he got vamped. The voice acting and everything made it so bad.

The soundtrack is goddamn amazing. Bloodlines has some good tracks but seriously.

That haunted house gets people every time, man. The devs knew, too, and put in a console man that does nothing but let you skip the quest.

I could never beat the werewolf and gave up. I made a talky guy and if he even hit me once I would die.

i accidentally figured out a spot next to the gondola wait where he'd never actually attack me so i juist stood there and read a book for 2 minutes

My Brujah should totes be able to kill that werewolf.

That reminds me of the worst bug I ever encountered in the game: Elevators and the like just wouldn't move. Usually I could fix this with noclip, but it took this crazy kind of timing in order to get through the werewolf level. My character would freeze in place as soon as I hit the button for the cablecar to take me back, but the car wouldn't actually move. I had to noclip at exactly the right time so I could fly through the air into the invisible level-transition.

the worst bug i ever encountered was the furniture in your special ghoul apartment flipping out and rotating, levitating in the air, etc. so the entire room became unnavigable without noclip

The most INTERESTING bug I encountered was one of the ones that replaces an object with another object. All the doorknobs in my apartment were replaced with fish from the fishtank.

Which didn't move, so it was like some Malkavian broke in and replaced all my doorknobs with blocks of ice full of frozen goldfish

It's strange how there are all these reports about all the crazy bugs in this game. I played this a lot right after release, and the worst I ever got was ploishing through the street in Downtown and falling into the nothingness below gamer existence.

How dare you tell ME I can't murder Caine! Who cares if being a gangster underling is literally the concept of the entire game.

People also bitch about promethean because it's a game "about something" too.

Also Tremere aren't vamps anymore, they're Mage characters. Kind of misses the whole point of having a magelike archetype in non-Mage campaigns.

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
Tremere were originally mages in Ars Magica anyway.

the best part about this is that thin bloods don't cause gehenna, it's the mass slaughter of vampires (thin blooded or otherwise) that wakes the antediluvians

so the thin-bloods are a sign of gehenna, but only because the elders freak out and murder them

also I'm pretty sure everyone who talks about werewolves ever in the game is like "dude don't even loving try to fight one you will get DESTROYED". I think proper anti-werewolf protocol is "run away while shooting fear-pee into the sky to mask your escape"

what I liked about bloodlines' story is kinda the duality between how insignificant you were and how much you could affect things if you managed to figure out what was happening at the time. I also like how you went from "barely stronger than a human" to "bitch-slapping commandos". the endgame does kinda suck but I like how it lets you see just how strong/ridiculous you've gotten

EDIT: dammit now I kinda want to replay it thanks a lot dicks

I wonder how things would've went down if you had to fight a mage in this. Can't mages do poo poo like teleport active grenades into you or summon lightning to strike you or some poo poo? I can't imagine anything but an elder kicking the poo poo out of one, but then again your vamp does kill a 7th gen Tzimisce and a 7th gen Nagloper, so who knows?

In 1st edition oMage, vampires counted as ordinary matter, so basic Matter spells could turn even a Methuselah into a chair without any way for the vamp to defend against it.

Basically, for oWoD, it goes
Mages

Mummies/Demons

Werewolves


Vamps/Kuei-Jin
Wraiths/Changelings
Hunters
Mortals

IIRC, that is. For nWoD, it's not quite as simple, but wraiths/Kuei-Jin are gone and changelings move up to be with werewolves.
