Vampire the Masquerade : Bloodlines

I got recurring CTD last time I played this as a Malkavian... And now I feel another reinstall looming. Grrr! What have you done? So far played Tremere and Malkavian (when it was crashing). I really want to play as a Gangrel too.

I'm just started this again (5th time!) and I'm playing as Ventrue. I have to say this is my best vampire yet and love their magic - "fortitude" gives you up to +5 on all of you're soak feats which is damn useful.
But then again, you can't really beat the Malkavians "obfuscate" at level 3+ which allows you to walk around completely invisible!
 
Ha first time i played this game i quit the scary mansion cos it was 2 in the morning, dark, and i was drunk :eek:

May have to reinstall this now, never QUITE got into it before, but alway sloved the idea. I liked eating peoples necks in the club cos i was young and hormonal.... lol
 
Ergh! I was enjoying this game again until today, I keep getting a crash to desktop when talking to Jeanette in The Asylum nightclub after going to the beach house. I'm using the v1.2 patch (official one as far as I know), any ideas anyone? :confused: Have crash logs if it would help at all.

Edit: I tried installing the unofficial v2.3 patch, didn't help. Still crashing when I talk to Jeanette, so I am going to reinstall entirely.

I've been playing it as well over the last couple of weeks. I've got a Gangrel character and have just gained entry to China Town. Good game, I'm really enjoying it

Try playing in lower graphics settings?
Other than that I've no idea, as I said above I just use the 1.2 patch and havn't had a single crash this time around (and I'm right up to chinatown again now).

It must've just been some corrupted files, probably sound files for speech, because I backed-up my saves then re-installed the game and it's working fine now.

Awesome game. I can't think of any game with a better script, storyline or voice acting. Come to think of it I can't remember enjoying another game more. The npcs in just about every other game are lifeless by comparison. Only the characters in Half Life 2 and Fahrenheit come close.

I've started to play through for the third time, this time with unofficial patch 2.4 (the latest one to date but I've heard rumours of a 2.5).

The later unofficial patches are great for Malkavian characters, as a fair bit of content taken out late in development has been restored, including the Malkavian whispers. Those of you that have played as a Malk before might have noticed a voice in your head when you talked to a character that turns up in the Santa-Monica diner and in a junkyard. As far as I know that used to be the only instance in the game but now there are a further 20 or so. I've heard 3 or 4 and I'm not yet out of Santa Monica. They've got rid of the respawning enemies in later levels too. Playing 2.4 feels like something of a director's cut.

I love playing as a Malk but wouldn't recommend it for a first time player. They come out with some very 'insightful' comments in dialogue that will mean a lot more if you've played the game through as a more conventional character.

Yeah I noticed the whisper for that character in the diner, thought is was cool and a shame it wasn't used more. Really must get that patch as the Malkavians are easily the best. :cool:

Currently playing as a Ventrue and really sucking up to the Camarilla, as allying with the cam is one of the only endings I havnt seen yet.
 
I'm still pretty close to the beginning, just unlocked downtown. I'm playing as a Gangrel with a distaste for weapons and an affinity for beating anyone in sight to a bloody pulp with his fists/claws, he also enjoys long walks on the beach and being a ******* to "the man." :cool:

I quite fancy the idea of starting a second save as a Ventrue or Toreador bootlicker though, want to see how this game is on a character that's more geared toward manipulation and stealth than kicking arse. I'm even tempted to try a Nosferatu, but I cannot imagine it being easy.

Could anyone post pics of what the later armours look like, or link to a gallery or something? Doesn't matter what clan or gender, I've only ever seen the newbie clothing armours and appearance is important to my beginning character choices.

I didn't know the game had different endings. How do you get the different endings then?
 
*SPOLIER ALERT*




















Depends, the best armour can be found from the lady that was in the hospital, that is if u saved her and she becomes urs, however if u take the armour from her then that means its near the end of the game and you havent got rid of her so she dies

Towards the end of the game you will be talking to a mysterious cab driver. The ending you get depends on what you say to him. For instance if you pick the dialogue options which support the camarilla you will have the ending where you ally with them.

Also some dialogue options may not be available at that point, depending on choices you have made throughout the game. So if you spend the game bad-mouthing the camarilla, you may not have the option of joining them at the end.

Yeah would really like to know how many alternate endings there are as I was only aware of the one...

***SPOILERS***






The possible endings are...

1. Join the Camarilla
2. Join the Anarchs
3. Join Prince Lacroix (different ending than joing the cam)
4. Join the Kuei-Jin
5. Ally with nobody

And of course some endings will again be slightly different depending on wether or not you "open the box"! :D
