>be big powerful vampire>have to obey some dumb masquerade and hide your power around your foodExplain this bros
>>724699937yeah youre playing vampire the masquerade, retardgo play vampire the sabbat if you want to be a lawless nigger
>>724699937>t. 3 night old shovelhead
>>724699975The sabbat is right about everything the camarilla is gay and retarded
>>724700047YWNBAE(you will never be an elder)
>>724700072just do some diablerie lol
>>724699937I would abduct and have passionate sex with 16 year old top models if I was a vampire
>>724700118You can go younger
>>724700149sure and I would, but I'm hesistant to say that here, 16 is legal
>>724700118>vampire>have sexuhh...
>>724699937>be big powerful jew>have to obey some dumb talmud and hide your power around your food
>>724699937It's fucking crazy that Jeanette is a 6th gen vampire.
>>724699937A human with true faith can make anything supernatural their bitch.>>724700229good old methusalehs and their lust for young pussy
>>724700209do vampires not have sex?
>>724700331they can but its fake sex
>>724699937Retards like you are why the 2nd inquisition is ashing us
>>724700726A real vampire would never let some dumb mortals be able to kill them
>>724700826>Arch Mage casually hanging in their personal pocket universe>Technocrats slightly adjusting their orbital weapons >Cain repeatedly slapping himself because the retards are doing it again
Anyone else play the Ck3 Prince of Darkness mod?Last I played, it was fun as fuck.Becoming a 3rd gen by diablerizing one was so disappointing though. It was malus rather than a benefit. Becoming a psuedo-ante through tons of diablier and making my own clan as a caitiff was great.
>>724699937It's because even though the vampires are powerful they have very obvious weaknesses that can easily be exploited if the humans are organized. They can all just wait until it's day, track down all of the vampires and kill them when they are most vulnerable. On top of that there are simply far more humans than vampires
>>724701608Realistically a lot of people would rather join them and become a vampire rather than try to hunt them down though
>fuck the masquerade, I'm not afraid to show humans who's really on to->>724701063it's amazing and basically ruined vanilla ck3 for me. I successfully did the tremere hunt when I played as the unnamed and managed to avoid the three soul takeover attempts thanks to being able to execute prisoners for more piety which was funny. was your personality hijacked, and that's why you think it wasn't good?
>>724702014Nope. I have diablerized Lasombra and Tzimisce. All it really does is max out their signature discipline. It's achievable with a low enough gen character
>>724699937because even if the vampires could win a world war against the muggles and turn them all into glorified cattle (they couldn't, they're too few and disunited), what's the point?the masquerade already affords all the blood and power games vampires could want.
>>724700209they can get erect (control over blood and all), but they can't come.
>>724702219oh right, disappointed by how it's not actually a huge power spike. that's fair, but at the same time I don't see how they could possibly make us actually as strong as the antediluvians. they operate a scale so far beyond any other vampire that it'd basically be an "I win" button if they properly represented it
>>724700331They can but most don't bother because it's nowhere as good as feeding.>>724700370Wrong.>>724702439Mostly right, spending blood points makes their organs work but all fluids are blood.
If vampires just went around killing humans willy nilly, world governments would eventually band their militaries together and effortlessly exterminate all vampires on earth. It's in vampirekind's best interests to stay secret. Like wizards in Harry Potter
Vampires ain't shit against the power of the Lord and His lambs.And I'm not kidding, a kid with a torch could fuck up a vampire due to the archangel Michael's curse. A vampire will literally lose their mind to the smallest flame, which is why vampires who smoke are considered to be individuals with extremely strong will. Imagine all of humanity torching their havens when they are in torpor during daytime, vampires unable to feed due to the awareness of mortals and the innate paranoia of the cainite who knows their own kin is also after them and their power. This is basically how vampires got BTFO during the first inquisition, VTM: Redemption does a good job in portraying how vampires were open super smug overlords to mortals in Eastern Europe until they pulled out the fucking torches. It's modern day now, armies have drones and napalm while information technology moves faster than the mind of a 100+ year old vampire can adapt to it.
>>724703535Angels only brought warnings (and offers to repent, obviously), they didn't curse Caine. God had.
>>724701063>>724702014I had fun
>>724704085also, lol
>>724703252world governments would get in on it and become vampires themselves who wouldnt want to be immortal?
>>724703670No, they literally did curse him with unnatural fear and susceptibility to flame and sunlight. God gave him everything else, at least according to the book of Nod which isn't supposed to be used as gospel, so at the end of the night it doesn't really matter.
>>724704085>>724704126and i got myself vamp bitches toolol
for me its the Daybreakers explanationif you make too many vampires or break cover, humans discover how to cure vampirism, and then your food hunts you
>>724703006So a vampire could cum blood? Another vampire would love that
>>724704575that leads to blood bondingwhich is not a position you want to be ineven if it's someone you lovethree times, and you're theirs foreverand if they die, good fucking luck moving on, you literal love blood junkie fuck
>>724704645just be unboundable
>>724704772>just win the genetic lottery, bro
Is there a full retard guide on modding VtMB somewhere out there?To fix the bugs and restore missing content and stuff, I remember hearing someone it needs some modding before being playable decades ago.Or should I just go vanilla?I wouldn't know where to look for that.
>>724704243Huh. Uriel's part got me thinking that all of them were just messengers. After all, when were loyalists not mere extensions of God?
>>724699937>have chicken farm with chickens vastly inferior to me>have to follow rules>can't just walk around ripping their heads off and drinking their bloodYeah someone explain this come on bro
>>724700209>hasn't played the gameUhhhh...
>>724704645Do they actually eject vitae or is it blood the liquid? Not clear from the way it's written.
>>724704836The last official patch, v1.2, is playable but save often and in different slots as usual. The current "Unofficial Patch" mod allegedly does not change much arbitrarily in its "basic" variety. Allegedly.
>>724699937>vampires get outed as being 100% confirmed real>governments start systematically killing vampires because theyre literally monsters who kill and eat people>any government that doesn't do this is immediately voted out/coup'd by the "kill vampires party"Now what, wise gut
>>724699937Should I play VTMB2 or Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2?
i find it weird how, in the literal world of darkness, lucifer is actually a good guy
>>724704892they literally tell you that vampires cant have real sex and just simulate it
>>724704961so official as in vanilla?i can just buy the game and boot it up and start playing i don't need to do any modding or restoring or fixing?
>>724700229Without her games getting 6th generation console port…
>>724704980>vampires get outed as being 100% confirmed real>every single politician wouldnt want to immediately become a vampire themselvesyeah sure
>>724701063Yeah, I like it a lot. There is a new update and I want to start in Japan, but I don't know whether to be the Brujah-Caitiff, the eastern Tremere, or go for the reliable Salubri and be a Watcher since there are so many Kuei-Jin.
>>724705027Yeah well my male character stimulated that bitch's simulation so well that she made me a vampire.
>>724700047the Sabbat follows the Masquerade too, to a degree, retard. You are literally dumber than a shovelhead
>>724705037>so official as in vanilla?That's original release, which is v1.0 if I remember right, good luck finding that. Even GOG sells the game with UP already installed unless something changed.>i can just buy the game and boot it up and start playing i don't need to do any modding or restoring or fixing?Probably, not sure about muh modern OSes. The last official patch didn't fix everything which is why you should save often. UP fixed the remaining significant problems but adds random bullshit no one asked for.
>>724702014How did you play as the Unnamed? I thought they were one of the disappeared without a trace characters that you can't interact with?
>>724703252>Like wizards in Harry PotterThe wizards would body the normies in a total war scenario, Rowling is just retarded.
>>724705164wait i'm confusedso... which version do i get then?
>>724705338Pirate it and get the Unofficial Patch. Go Basic for a pure experience or Plus for some extras that are sometimes good, sometime unnecessary, and sometimes just bad. The biggest plus of the Plus patch is you can choose your history.
>>724705338Whatever is the most convenient for you.>>724705575He won't. Too much effort.
>>724704848It's obscure on purpose to match the vague linguistics of the bible, which makes it good writing imo
>>724705294>nooks hogwartsheh, nothing personnel dumbledoew
>>724699937>Explain this brosBecause as powerful as you are the sun hurts
>>724705632It is simple and quick though. Only takes a few minutes to find a clean copy, download, extract, execute, download the patch, and then patch it.
>>724705729I just have trouble believing that Michael and Raphael of this setting actually did something on their own considering that the last time angels had ideas it didn't go well. But it's is written very unambiguously. Curious, perhaps this opens up some possibilities if those two parts do not come from God.
>>724705960>It is simple and quick though.Was/were. Pirating is like human sacrifice to the average user now.
Deepest lore and biggest brain is knowing the Tremere did nothing wrong because Saulot is the Baali antediluvian
>literally proves that vampires are capable of love
>>724699937Because vampires would be annihilated in a week or two if their existence got revealed. Did that explain it retard?>>724705294With what? The only thing they have over muggles is deception and being able to manipulate their actions with magic, which regular humans would be able to counter eventually because they have much higher IQ than the average wizard
>>724705974A lot of the setting's lore is meant to have conflicting information. Most of it is written from a specific perspective so there is bias in nearly everything. I think the only thing you can say for sure is Caine killed his brother and God punished him for it, everything after has many different versions of the same story told from different perspectives and points in time.
>>724699937>food supply becomes aware of you>dawn breaks>you and your vampire friends all get Shiki'd by a lynch mob
>>724706148It wasn't Saulot, it was his expelled evil essence formed into a new body by Tzimesce and Cappadocious.
Reading up on what happened to the awakening antes and the Ravnos one had the most Rasputian death and, considering his power, he probably didn't even fucking die.
>>724706261Three-eyed hands typed this post
>>724706272Since he is Ravnos I would believe it was just an illusion.
>>724706209>A lot of the setting's lore is meant to have conflicting information.I liked that about pre-Gehenna. The uncertainty made for more interesting stories in the novels and setting and allowed people running the game a lot of leeway in how they wanted to handle things.
Anyone here actually follow nWoD? I checked out and never actually bothered to see if any of it is any good at all
>>724699937Shotguns and grenades hurt a lot, and there's a lot of people with a lot of shotguns and bombs in the Human Universe, known as our universe. Shotguns and bombs are so good that vampires love to use them against each other. The only weird thing is that the anti-vampire fanatics are just a cult. Like sure, there'd be cults, but surely the vast majority of vampire hunters should be working for other vampires, that's where the money is. Anti vamp cults should be a bunch of broke hillbillies in the woods who just lynch the occasional thinblood, not the Order of Leopold that's worth tens of millions with no clear funding.
>>724703670Why did god curse Caine with "sex is boring, sucking blood will now make you super orgasm"?
>>724706326Exactly. He can make illusions real. They probably just "killed" an illusion of him. Antedeluvians are barely removed from Caine after all. Caine, who is practically one of the primordial beings of the entire setting.
>>724705202she's the top of the landless list. you'll probably want to play the bookmark that has demons, although you could just choose to become a demon yourself in the regular bookmark to get the same power, although I think you won't be able to do one of your decisions in the regular bookmarkmy advice is b-line for the baali guy in iraq since having counties that match your faith makes everything a bit less cbt
>>724706261>Cappadociouswhat a fucking jobber, holy shitdidn't even take over the guy who succ'd himfucking tremere managed to do that to a completely different vampire while saulot and tzimisce fought over who got to be him
>>724699937>have to obey some dumb masquerade and hide your power around your food
>>724706445Yeah but it was also like three kindred of the east who were super stupid powerful (but certainly not named antediluvian) and a whole plassle of tehcnocracy mages who sun nuked him. So it also possible he actually did die.
>>724700047true, but flagrantly breaching the masquerade will result in every vampire haven getting drone striked. we're not in the middle ages anymore, humanity has vast information networks and incredible firepower at their disposal
>>724705575You can enable histories in vanilla with the console. vchar_edit_histories 1 before you start a new game and that's it.I'm not sure enabling them is that good an idea since they're incredibly unbalanced though. Mostly. The ones that shuffle your starting stats are pretty fair at least.
>>724706163I ship her with my futa oc
>>724706206>With what?Guerilla war on fent. At will teleportation anywhere, invisiblity, transformation, anyone can be a mind-controlled sleeper agent, any information is compromised because of mind reading and mind control, all infrastructure is sabotaged, all food storage and production burned to the ground, etc. If I remember correctly even capable wizards and their organized and trained police/military had a massive problem with the mind control infiltrators, someone with no magic would have no hope of resisting that shit.For just one example if it was a total war for survival scenario, a death squad of a couple dozen wizards could probably start going down the list of the most populated cities in the world from the top and destroy 100 per day. By using just two spells that were shown to already be castable by wizards who haven't even graduated from Hogwarts yet (appartation and fiendfire)
>>724706876Even in the middle ages, humans were fucking dangerous. Even much earlier, during the Bronze Ages. It wasn't some elite antediluvian mage-like hitsquad that sacked the shit out of Carthage, it was a bunch of regular ass Romans. I mean a Ventrue told them to, but not politician has ever been human so that's a given and it's not humans have generally needed much encouragement to murder anyone they don't like. Humans have just gotten more dangerous since then while vampires have just been getting diluted.
>AAAIIIIEEEE! I'M SO SORRY, MORTALS! I DIDN'T MEAN IT WHEN I SAID THAT WE NEEDN'T TO BE AFRAID OF ALL OF YOU!
>>724707247The average wizard doesn't even know how to teleport, and of those the ones that use it often are a minority. It's super dangerous and you can easily split your body in half, and the range of teleportation is not that large. Yes like I said their manipulation magic would wreak havoc but there would be traitors in the magical world more than willing to help the muggles (like squibs, non magical wizards) and the high IQ muggles would find countermeasures.I don't think wizards would use fiend fire since it could easily destroy the world, they're like super nukes, but who knows it's not really explained how it works, just Rowling wishy washy magic.I don't think a side would ever have total victory, wizards would never disappear, since it's some kind of mutation that can appear in anyone, even if they were somehow exterminated they would come back, also works the other way, wizards can have muggle kids
>>724708001>I don't think a side would ever have total victory, wizards would never disappear, since it's some kind of mutation that can appear in anyoneWas just about to say, I don't get how some "pure"bloods can yap how muggles stole their magic, when people with 0 magical ancestors can just be born with it. Sure, if an actual conflict between magic and non magic users happened the magic side would get torn apart, but actual full genocide would be impossible .
>>724708001I think just society would never have worked out the way it did for Rowling's world to exist in the first place. Extermination attempts by either side would be stamped out quick because this isn't vampirism, there's no inherent need to harm humanity or limit to the amount of blessings (ghoul arrangements) they can grant, and it'd just be the wizard equivalent of a spree killer that wizards themselves would put down. And obviously any human uprising would be a joke.The opposite would happen aeons before a place like Hogwarts could even exist, in that wizards would want to be in charge as a worshipped race of demigods, because being in charge is really cool and they are just a race of demigods. The world would just revolve around wizards and their whims like a modern day Olympic Pantheon and mere mortals would dedicate their lives to attempting to win the wizards' favour.A masquerade situation would never happen. Wizards can make your dick bigger if they feel like it, that's the end of the situation right there, there would be a shrine in every household.
>>724699937Vampires are nothing but leeches on the "cosmic food chain" and if they make their presence known to their human host, they'd immediately get wiped out
I have nothing interesting to say, I just wanted to post Malkpimpian.
>>724699975Even the Sabaat follows "a masquerade" because they're not entirely retarded, they just don't believe in "integration". It's basically bank Jews vs book Jews (the fact that they're called the "Sabbath/Chabad" might tip you off)
>>724700047I guess you're the one guy who missed the part of the game where it explained vampires almost got wiped out in the middle ages, and how humans would be able to finish the job with modern weapons like napalm, tracers, flamethrowers, and even nuclear weapons.
>>724700047>Why should we be afraid of our food that can one shot us?
>>724700102what could go wrong!
>>724709109there's also jack in the very beginning of vtmb telling you to not be a fuckhead
>>724709205Clearly he was too subtle for OP to get it.
>>724700047the camarilla is actually based and i would gladly join it. i'm sick of the slander
>>724708001>The average wizard doesn't even know how to teleport, and of those the ones that use it often are a minority. It's super dangerous and you can easily split your body in half, and the range of teleportation is not that large.If older teenagers or young adults (thb I can't remember how old 7th year or whatever Hogwarts students are) can learn it, I think it can be extrapolated that you can definitely train an adult essentially military commando to use it competently.>high IQ muggles would find countermeasuresI think the fuckery enabled by magic shown in the books exceeds the capacity to reasonably find countermeasures. Someone ruthless enough could enact absolutely heinous levels of destruction with just mind control spam, even assuming key personel are protected or reliably being tested against it, because there's always someone else lower on the pole that can be turned into a mind controlled terrorist with access to people or infrastructure.>I don't think wizards would use fiend fire since it could easily destroy the world, they're like super nukesI can't remember everything that was said about it, but even if they would avoid using it there's probably less nuclear solutions for mass destruction and sabotage. Even ratman blew up a street full of normies like it was nothing.>I don't think a side would ever have total victoryTrue, especially since it would likely be a pyrrhic victory at best ending with the world in post-apocalyptic ruins.
>>724709205>>724709241Everyone in the Last Round basically says the same thing: The Masquerade isn't needed not because it's useless, but because it's just basic fucking common sense and vampires have the capacity to self-police when a retard tries to act out ("blood hunts", according to the fucking cammies).
>>724709414hi damsel
>>724708964Malkthotpian
>>724709243Literally all their rules are rules everyone already fucking follows and enforces, they just want to be in charge by louding repeating the rules and have everyone be subject to their gay internal politics. Anarchs already have Barons and even the Sabbat have the Bishops, everything is enforced as-is.You'd be chewed up and spat out at sunrise because some fuckhead middle manager Ventrue is mad that your middle manager Ventrue gave a better business card at the elder meeting and is wreaking havoc on his assigned region out of spite.
>>724709510
>>724709518here's the thing thoughthe anarchs do the same shit with preaching "independence"it's not even fucking new because that's exactly what brought the sabbat into existencethey're all lying, soulless, blood-sucking monsters
>>724706272This just has me thinking, what do changing breed/werewolves etc have ? The average Garou is a super roided methed out PVRE Vril and rage fuelled monster who's wonds close the second they're opened, but there's no "story ending" level "elder" for them is there (other than the "apocalypse/the wyrm whatever" but I mean an an actual "one of them" world ender)I suppose then that's just due to the "story beat" of Vampire being about "blah blah blah society or something, greedy elders or boomers or some shit and capitalism, and hierarchy or something"
>>724699937Vampires enter a type of magical sleep during the dayThey cannot win a fight against an organized group of people.
>>724701063If you dont want to worry about stress get rift, the 3rd or 4th perk replaces level 3 stress breaks with an event that does basically nothing, so you can stress max with functionally 0 downsides or repercussions.
>Camarilla>Anarchs>SabbatUHHHH NO THANKSI'M A LONE WOLF BABY<<<GANGREL GANG>>> RIDES ALONE BECAUSE RIDING WITH OTHER DUDES IS FUCKING GAY AND I AIN'T NO FAGGOT
>>724709518You speak like someone denied entry to a boardroom and now pretending the street corner is a seat of power. Keep shouting about freedom. The grown-ups will handle the Masquerade.
>>724703535BBC reigns supreme.
>>724709727There's still very little upside to diablerizing a third gen than maxxing their signature discipline. If I can achieve the same power by just waiting, I don't need to move beyond the 4th gen. And I take far less risk by opting out of the various dangerous event chains.>>724709662nonethey fucked themselves ages ago and are doomed to live in a world created by their own failure
>>724706163this is what bloodlines 2 should have looked like instead we got this shit
>>724709736lol furry
>>724699937Small problem with that line of thought. There are more humans than vampires, and they aren't catatonic during the day. If humans at large find out vampires exist, that's largely the end of vamps. I say largely, because no amount of normal humans will kill an antidiluvian. But if ALL humanity finds out vampires, and the larger supernatural reality exist, you'll get mass awakenings and imbueings. Which means wizards and hunters powered by God EVERYWHERE.
>>724706163goddamn is this bitch smuggling some midgets in her corset or what??
>>724710039>because no amount of normal humans will kill an antidiluvianNah, we'd win
>>724710028she is so ugly
>>724710039>waits until an ante is asleep>kill themit literally is that easy
>>724710103I wouldn't say ugly but she is not sexy at all and kinda annoying
>>724710135I agree with you but a lot of older vampires can willpower through torpor if they want to and have methods of being aware in it. I think it's an auspex power, actually. Really fucking useful.
>>724710194ante's can't gain blood points from kineif kine kill off their progeny then the ante will have to try and embrace more to get something to feed onif they don't they'll burn through said auspex ability and torporso again>waits until an ante is asleep>kill themit literally is that easy
>>724710316that's nulore trash
noooooo! vampires would win!
>>724709662They have powerful spirits in other planes of existence, and of course the triat, but yeah they're less human face to face power more incarnation of nature and the laws of the universe power.

>>724710591you joke but true faith makes a human an instant win button against the supernatural
>>724700118>>724700149>>724700190and, caine willing, you will be hunted down and killed by some noble kindred for being an impulsive degenerate
>>724710636and do you have true faith?
>>724709895>they fucked themselves ages ago and are doomed to live in a world created by their own failurePretty much, they're like a supernatural lolcow in their own way. Self-righteous but ultimately every single issue they are facing is of their own creation. They created their own, personal hell and in a cosmic irony must live in it and be constantly reminded of their failures.
>>724699937The game doesn’t give a good explanation to the overall lore why, but basically in tWoD later editions the Masquerade is gone and the Catholic Church brings back Inquisition to almost a 40K level and they’re basically if /pol/ thought every Vampire was jewish and they got both state and religious authority to remove mosquito. The original Inquistion was for the same reason in lore and almost wiped out all vampires, it’s why the Masquerade is enforced so heavily.
>>724710413And I should say, their laws of the universe are being usurped, destroyed, and replaced by humanity, and nature is basically dead.
>>724710636Was about to say, I sometimes forget how "faith" is an actual in lore thing that can and WILL make Vampires run for the hills even in a 1v1 scenario.
>>724710650woooh boyhave you ever heard of Antinous?I know Hadrian wasn't a fag in real life but he is in VTM because it's a largely liberal franchise.
i will never forgive them for ruining schreknet
>>724710735It will make vampires want to kill themselves and die.>>724710676YesBecause god is real.I am realSo you will bow before me for I will it
>>724710636I mean, sure, but is true faith useful against guns and bullets? Surely a vampire could just send a horde of ghouls with guns to beat a true faith nigga? Or hell just hire/dominate a bunch of mortal goons to do the job for him.
>>724710783>ruiningNobody is going to remember the sequel in like a month, that shit bombed. This isn't a lame sequel that did so well that people are going to ignore that it's lame and spout off everything it did as a positive.
>>724710783what the fuck did you think was going to happen?the nosferatu were a walking masquerade breach years before then anyway
>>724710870no fun allowed
>>724710783Me either. I can forgive maybe of the basic layers being compromised, but surely the nossies are tech literate to implement access layers and trusted permissions.
>>724710102It took the full power of the technocracy to stop Ravanna during the week of nightmares, and even then they might still exist. Antediluvians are barely vampires and are easily some of the most powerful entities in the WoD. I mean the Tzimisci ante was allegedly destroyed, but it's powers over viscisitude are so powerful it is beyond death. You can't stake what doesn't have a heart. Good luck winning against the eldritch horror dragon monster under New York as a basic bitch human.
>>724710828the light of heaven will purge the corrupted of their filth
>>724710828That's a bit of an oversight in the lore, that humans will happily work for bastards for money and the idea of a vampire footsoldier is inherently dumb when you can just pay someone to do it for you.And ghouls would be horrific to face, because you're not just threatening their paycheck, you're basically threatening their key to a three hundred year lifespan, they're going to be unreasonable with that on the line and spend every waking moment training to be the best at it because that's a hell of a lifeline. A ghoul would happily bomb a school if they suspected anything threatening their bloodbank was in it.
>>724711021Never said it would be easyBut we'd win , just that simple really.

what is the most cucked vampire clan
>>724711339If I figured out something like True Faith existed, it would immediately shoot to 10. I will it so it must be.
>>724711467Salubri were vampirically cucked by the Tremere. The Cappadocians also exist, but they don't need consent like the Salubri do to feed.
>>724711339>Faith is 10>You project an aura of holiness that vaporizes all vampires on contact
stop talking about true faith it makes me nervous
>>724711768Realize your folly and I will cleanse you of your sin. Brotherhood is not lessened when one brother is foolish. You can still be forgiven.
>>724711467Salubri, Cappadocians, Ravnos. Well it depends, are we building tall or wide in our cuckbuild. Those three are empirically the most cucked but it was like a single instance of major cucking, but if we're building wide then IMO it's the Brujah as they've gotten consistently cucked out of literally everything they've ever tried to do. Carthage, the Knights, their clan is just deadbeats these days, just abysmal jobbing bozos relative to the sheer amount of material they have to The Big 3 Cuckclans.It's the difference between a non-stop orgy of speedrunners running a train on your wife in one weekend vs your wife casually bringing home a different guy every Saturday for years straight, what's the murder-suicide Any% on those build setups and is it viable for Gehenna.
>>724711857This anon has it. Can't believe I forgot how cucked the Brujah were.

>>724712417>tfw toreador attack animation
>>724712484Weren't they also mostly indian....
>>724712168Pretty bad. They got pounded so hard into nonexistence that they had retcon in there being secret pajeet Ravnos to keep the clan alive, who then proceeded to get immediately bitch-slapped by the Chinese and immediately explode accidentally awakening their elder. So now there's like half a dozen pajeet Ravnos just walking around waiting to die. Pretty bad.

>>724715110Is AI a Virtual Adept plot to fuck with the Technocracy?
Your food can quite literally nuke you.The few scenarios where masquerade has been openly broken ended with all of Bangladesh nuked by techno wizards with at least 2M dead, and a whole clan of vampires fully dead all the way to their antideluvian (big daddy vampire) in the "best" case scenario.And the worst one is a full blown apocalypse where even the vampires are fucked.So yeah, your best chances to live to not get nuked its keep up the masquerade for as long as possible, don't be a power hungry dick, and find a way to get some blood without no one minding or noticing.>B-but i want to be super gigachad vampire that fucks and kills everything on my path-Don't.You fucking retarded edgelord, humanity already found a way to create a miniature sun already, and thats already without the cabal of fucking wizards retconning magic into actual science.No matter how powerful your little bloody thirsty snowflake is, break the masquerade and you either get outnumbered and outgunned 1000 to 1, or become a cornflake in your big Daddy V morning blood cereal along with all of your undead extended family because eating anything else its not as filling anymore because its a fat old fuck.So be nice, and LARP as a human being, you pale ass edgelord with glorified hematophilia.

>>724714958>the power of pure cash can make a vampire want to dieThis is the most often repeated bit of bullshit technically in the entire setting. It is theoretically maybe possible, yes, but the reality is even after a lifetime of extremely devout education and religious service most believers never even come close to true faith. Random rich guys simply wont have the core belief structures to truly genuinely believe in money that much. And that's not even mentioning the implied requirement of surviving some level of supernatural contact, or at least surviving supernatural tier situations, to develop the power.
>>724715365it was a natural reaction to le humans are the real monster trope that was everywhere and hit the climax with the Avatar movie where humanity is portrayed as bad while fighting against going extinct, you are the reaction of the reaction

why an elder thousands of years old is giving the finger like a zoomer
>>724715314You've gotta be fucking kidding me
>>724715618>thousands of yearsthe nomad is around 400 years old and was around in the 1920, they know what the finger is
>>724715310enjoy your freedom while the hunters reload
>>724715618she's only six hundred, she still got it chud
>>724715618The middle finger has been a rude gesture for thousands of years.https://sententiaeantiquae.com/2021/01/19/giving-the-finger-in-ancient-greek-2/
People thinking that breaking the masquerade would lead to extermination of vampires are retarded (as are the wod writers)What would actually happen is that vampires would just turn military and political leadership, the 1% and then ghoul their loyal servants. You end up having a vampire aristocracy that tules over the mortals with economization of blood and corporate whitewashing of vampirism.Nothing much would change, except people would clamor to become a vampire too
>>724715314>>724715734Imagine getting taken down by a fucking cat.
>>724715618it's a pretty old gesture>In Aristophanes's comedy The Clouds (423 BC),[14] when the character Socrates is quizzing his student on poetic meters, Strepsiades declares that he knows quite well what a dactyl is, and gives the finger.
>>724715618>like a zoomerMiddle finger making it back in style these days?
>>724715903>>724715948The more things change, the more they stay the same, huh?
>>724715314>>724715734>>724715924It's overVampires are extinctThese fuckers have genocided hundreds of bird species and are going to add vampires to their hit list.
>>724715757hunters ain't shit>terminal decree: kill yourself>shrugging off drone strike with marble skinmortals are not an issue for any clan with fortitude
>>724699937In the game, vampires were hunted to near extinction by medieval peasants. The reason they blend in is because they fear humans.
>>724715916Vampires are not the only supernaturals around, you think werewolves would be ok with that?All out war means vampires are fucked, they are ambush predators, not warriors.

>>724716243There's a reason new vampires need tardwrangling , they think it's an anime and they're the chosen one.
>>724716175wod has a lot of that, you need to curate the setting
>>724715618I think an elder would absolutely flip you off, just not with the immensely faggy extended thumb variation.
if i was a vampire i would be afraid of garlic. i ain't risking it
>>724716260>and another strike and another strike and another strike and another strike and another strike and another strike and another strike
>>724716328has anything been more detrimental to video games and media in general as animeit's truly the yellow man's curse
>>724716243Humans are smart but very weak.Vampires are smart AND very strong with supernatural powers with few real weaknesses.Not being able to go out during the day is legit one of their only true debuffs.So yeah I think vampires could easily take over if they wanted to.
>>724716243lots of other magic powers and they can easily 'recruit' new members
So how exactly would a hunter take down leeches of more troublesome bloodlines?Lasombra can turn into shadows as well as turn shadows into solid objects they can manipulate at will.Tzimisce can alter their flesh to be particularly resilient, such as having a thick-ass carapace under their skin, or move their organs around in their bodies at will.Some tremere and particularly old vampires even wield straight-up D&D style magic spells.Guns and explosives really wouldn't be enough in those scenarios.

>>724716416The ghoul recuitment strategy has diminishing returns, you need a constant source of vampire blood supply to keep ghouls effective, so you need regular humans to suck from, if you are in all out war, it's not going to be as easy

>>724716837We are talking about all out war, somehow you think vampires owuld be a perfectly united block and everyone else would just let them do whatever.One single Master of forces and corresponce will nuke every vampire court in the country and you have no meaningful counter to this.
>>724716586And that's before humanity even starts getting creative.
>>724716796it also helps you politically, the wokes will be on your side. you are just a poor minority that is being oppressed In UK if someone doesn't allow you to suck her blood, you can call the cops on her for racism
Because this isn't the middle ages anymore. Humans have automatic guns that can cause the final death. Humans have UV floodlights. Human can get out during the day and night, unlike vamps who can only get out during the night.Before you had to go and cut the vampire's head off, now you can just shoot it with a hollow point or a high caliber bullet and do the equivalent of chopping the head off.

>>724716927eldar and slaanesh moment
>>724717058those masters are so rare that their number is less than a dozen, paradox would also fuck them if they did thatwhat would actually happen is that the mages simply make a deal with vampiresyou are under the impression that fall of the masquerade would be a violent war, instead of an identity politics movement.Think of vampires as trannies. Their rise to power would work exactly the same, infiltrating big orgs (which they already did), then softening the blow of vampirism (vampirism is misunderstood!). Except unlike trannies, most people would not actually hate them and yearn to be among them, because eternal life is just too good of a boon, it flattens all other ideologies in the long run.
>>724717151vampires have floating automatic guns, checkmate
>>724717151UV lights don't do anything against vampires. the curse has to do with the sun as magical object, not with the physics of it.
>>724701063Just finished a Brittania playthrough as Meerlinda right before the Asia update. Could never do the "Setting Sun" decision though because that fucker Mithras led me on a looney tunes chase around Europe and his Methusalah strength makes him near impossible to assassinate or abduct
>>724717389>you are under the impression that fall of the masquerade would be a violent warBecause it will, the average person couldn't care less about politics when literal blood suckers revealed to be real
>>724717380Do vampires not have hands or something?What is stopping them from using bullets, bombs, etc themselves?And they can blend in pretty fucking good so they might already be in control of our nuclear arsenal
>>724717432why did phyre handle guns like this
>>724717531Elder autism.
>>724717380Yes. Because all those things vampires have access too as well, likely moreso than any rabid hunter since they already infiltrated all the world governments.Social Ostracisation? Oh you mean like how trannies were ostracized before 2010 and now look where we are? Economic tariffs? Bitch, every megacorp is ruled by a Ventrue behind the curtainAnd again, UV light doesnt do shit.
>>724717519they don't have the factories to produce them
which clan is the most /lit/ty?
>>724717531China Room realized being able to pick up weapons means they need an inventory system and animations for said weapons and they ain't got time for that.
>>724710636woudln't simply meeting a vamp or demon or any other creature of legend immediately get you on at least like 0.5 true faithlike you can allways tell yourself it's some sick prank or something but the more you see these things the more that will become cope and you'll believe in their existence on a subconscious levelbelief in religion comes easier than belief in magic and monsters, so once you know the latter are real true faith should just be automatic
>>724717610wannabe wizards
>>724717610Toreador
>>724717598Again, vampires have already infiltrated our society. They have access to everything we do ontop of being super strong/smart/fast/etc.
>>724717432Wouldn't it make more sense for a vampire to just pick the gun up and use their supernatural strength to shoot it with zero recoil?
just saved a guys daughter in chinatownhow much left of this game is there, bros?
>>724717519>What is stopping them from using bullets, bombs, etc themselves?Not having access to human military technology and resources?>And they can blend in pretty fucking good so they might already be in control of our nuclear arsenalNah the Jews and Chinese already control those
>>724717573>they already infiltrated all the world governmentsAt that point no reason to fear muggles or for masquerade desu and just go daybreakers
>>724717495You underestimate bread & games, chudGuarantee you that if vampires were revealed rn iRL most people would side with them if its spun as a misunderstood condition (which is easy to do)There's no way a toreador slut putting on puppy eyes wouldn't be able to convince the world to exist alongside one another.
>>724717685that would require additional first person gun animations from the devs and that costs money
>>724717632that is not what true faith is
>>724717450TCR's slop brought a wave of aggressively ignorant retards seems like.
>>724717389Vampires need too much blood to exist in large numbers, they require an exponentially large amount of blood slaves and there are deeply entrenched anti-vampire organizations that would fight against them, the entire catholic church, most government agencies, most mages belong to traditions that abhor vampires for one reason or another.Paradox would instantly become less of a problem because of the breakdown of consensus following a masquerade breach, if vampires exist, they can spontaneously combust.And Mages excel in shady stuff and indirect conflict, it's their whole existence.
>>724717598*embraces some weapons industry executives* done
>>724717756Fortunately America has really strong gun laws that prevent vampires from getting their hands on AR15s and magnums.
>>724717450>>724717853UV weapon would be stupid anyway, you can't generate as much energy as the sun so it would be like the mildest effects of sunlight, not instant death, a flamethrower now that's a different story.
>>724717842then true faith is gay and lame
VAMPIRES DO NOT EXISTVAMPIRES HAVE NEVER EXISTEDSTOP TALKING ABOUT VAMPIRES

>>724717879Listen magefag, no one likes your kind because you godmode and overestimate your own splats powerlevel by two orders of magnitude just because of memes and poor STs letting you get away with everything under the guise of "lol magic"No one likes you, and you are wrong.
>>724718005Wrong, True Faith is gigachad but it's not simply "knowing" that God/some bullshit is real, it's that you have absolute faith in its tenets and abilities, like the one schizoid that thought the financial system was so deeply in charge of the world he could ward of vamps with his credit card
I wonder with advent of just how big and hard to manage the internet has become, if cammy vamps would have website Princes. Like a Prince of 4chan and Prince of reddit

>>724718072It's like 99.9% fan stuff. KOTE was never popular and was one of the first game lines to be dropped from official support. Still I basically trust POD devs to come up with interesting characters more than offical sources anyway.

>>724718551>not canon at allSorry vampy, can't hear you over your seething over losing to peasants with sharp sticks and torches
Anyone ever actually watch the TV show from the 90s? How is it?
who likes this shit? what is the target audience
>>724718364you're only like 10% of the way through the game
>>724717646Tremere?>>724717647I suppose so, but afaik, a lot of bookish people are not neccessarily sociable.
>>724718154>>724718504v5 true faith explicitly only applies to "Mortals"
>>724718621BIPOC people of color and the gays.
I HATE V5
>>724718565Games in the ps2/ps3 era used to be able to do proper transparency. Games like FF13 come to mind.But yeah modern engines suck at hair. Even stand based systems like in RE4R need TAA to clean them up.
>>724718645Toreador aren't nessecary sociable, the lonely brooding artist is absolutely a toreador archetype.
>>724699937>be big powerfulVampires get ripped apart by most other supernatural entities (and even non-supernatural like the SI/hunters/technocracy) in the WoD. They are only so powerful because of the Masquerade and their ability to blend in and take control of society
>>724718693it's about time for a new edition anyways. nuke v5
>>724718621I don't hate the idea of it, but I think they could've made them edgier
>>724718621Changeling has always been the fruity faggot game.Werewolf is for horse girls and kids obsessed with wolves.Vampire is for emos and edgelords.Wraith is for goths.Mage is for turbo nerds.I like wraith.
>>724718603kino
>>724718154Yes. It's hard because it require high humanity score, but you can have it and there was named character on Camarilla most wanted list who was such fanatical christian, that he had 9 dots in true faith and 9 humanity while being fucking gargoyle. Most hunters can't even dream about being such believers.
humanity first niggers are such faggots, they ruin every setting wheres there nonhumans just because of their insecuritiesNo, human niggers, you wouldn't win against vampires that have overtaken all your media, governments and military. You can't even win against the jews who did do all that already and dont have superpowers, immortality and being sexy af.
>>724718603It was okay. Some neat stuff in some episodes. Kind of generic drama soap opera stuff in others. Some of the vampire stuff was neat, but then you had some other weird things like them being out in daylight freely at times due to scheduling issues during filming. I'd say it's worth watching if you really like VtMB but don't expect your mind to be blown.
>>724717918>AR15s and magnums can best nukes and bioweaponsOh sorry, I didn't realise I was talking to a Downes Syndrome sufferer
>>724717610forget toreadors, nosferatu is the answer
>>724718504>Well yes but he thought so hard he could pay the vampires off that it actually worked. That's kind of based levels of delusion. It'd be like paying off a bear while you're in the woodsIt's him
>>724718621being fae is fun
>>724718654This is why we hate V5, anyway you can grab true faith on Vamps in 20th edition and I'm pretty sure you can do it on most other splats except Mages
>>724718603i couldn't find it anywhere last time i looked
>>724718603Vamps are fine with sunlight / 10Clans are basically Italian gangster families / 10.
>>724718621tumblr
>>724718807You're going to nuke your own cities to maybe kill a couple dozen vampires? Real smart move lol
>>724718739I haven't played in a long time, but what is the angle with the Toreador that aren't sociable, what is their unique way of say, dealing with the enemy?
>>724718795Ferox, look at this dude
>>724718749Everyone is paper in WoD, it's all a matter of ambushing and good conditions. Otherwise a werewolf just roflstomps through everything else
>>724718871GAY GUY ALERT
>>724718904>Vamps are fine with sunlight / 10were they? I watched a few episodes and I remember they can go outside with motorcycle helmets and fully clothed. Are you talking about that?
>>724718780What about Hunter, Demon, and Mummy?
Vampire literature's purpose is literally as a female sexual fantasy.If you spend hours of your life learn vampire lore, you are the definition of a beta simp
>>724718795why doesn't he just cure himself
>>724718998Vampires aren't affected by physical sunlight, they're spiritually affected by being in the light of the sun. They'd be fucking cooked alive just for existing somewhere with light never mind most of them being unable to even be awake during the day
>>724701063Yes. This mod soothes my autism of planning out grand schemes across hundreds of years like nothing else
>>724718795>had 9 dots in true faith and 9 humanity while being fucking gargoyle>Dudes faith so strong even Jesus would accept him into heaven despite his condition ,but he himself would refuse because he knows what he is and is against the teachings and faith
>>724719032Hunter is for punks.I don't know about demon or mummy, I've never played them or even known anyone who played them.
durr why doesn't the government just nuke the vampires
>>724718949Something something Tremere are their own worst enemy something somethiong
>>724699937Because you are not the biggest powerful vampire.
>>724719123I mean if a house or a coffin can stop light from burning them, why not motorcycle helmets?Maybe they can make holes in their coffins for their legs, arms and head and walk around in them
>>724719123In that case wouldn't a full moon kill them? Or even a half one? Since it just reflects the suns rays?
why does tremere keep fucking up? tremeresissies explain yourselves?
>>724719156Should I try it out? Though I don't have CK3 so I guess I'll just pirate it or something
>>724718998nah they just went out into the sun normally sometimes, it's a common complaint about the show. due to scheduling issues or something. but i remember them being vulnerable to it in other episodes so it wasn't consistent about it either. i think one character tried to explain they tolerate it if they've recently fed.
>>724719261They are Mages at heart.
>>724719156>Destroyer of the InquisitionHow'd you get that?
>>724700047The Sabbat hasn't been right about anything since second one.
>>724718929You're going to just shoot anyone you don't like and hope society doesn't react?You're going to simply not have vampire genetics that are easily targeted with a fatal form of Covid? Or just mustard gas?You're going to become "immune" to having your bank accounts cancelled and your name being on every blacklist on earth, using CIA and FBI and the most current military grade AI to track your every move?
>>724719253it's magic nigga. sun bad moon good okay
>>724718621me
>>724699937>be big powerful vampirePrime mages can punch you so hard, you're head comes off.
>>724718830I sort of understand where you're coming from, having a grand library and just never leaving the crypt seems /lit/ty, but in the game Nos are meant to be sleuthy spies and tech geniuses, it doesn't seem like a clear fit to me.
>>724719261Tremere himself was a dumbass. He couldn't figure out immortality himself through normal wizardly means, so he settled on becoming a parasite instead, sacrificing much of his magic potential to do so.His bloodline is just as fucked as he was, especially now that he's dead for good.
>>724719357why
>>724719245No because they're spiritually protected by not being in the gaze of the sun, clothing doesn't count but shelter does for some reason. They're cursed by God himself not some physical disease>>724719253No because the moon isn't the sun, it's god specifically cursing them to get burnt under natural sunlight (not moonlight, despite it being the same thing). Again it's a spiritual thing, not physically sunlight itself
>>724699937>Explain this brosBecause there are a lot of other factions in the world of darkness that can curb-stomp the vampires if they ever wanted to. Not to mention breaking the masquerade means humanity as a whole will fight back against the vampires, and they outnumber them by a large enough margin that super powers won't be enough to make up the difference. Especially when you have exploitable weaknesses to things like sunlight.
>>724710650>noble kindredlmao finding Cain would be easier.
>>724719261>Wizards>No sense of right or wrongSums up everything you read about the Tremere, and possibly even Mage as a setting/Ars Magica
>>724719156fucking based
>>724719363oh you want a clan recommendation for vtmb? i think you might like the tremere
>>724719412So if I reflect the suns rays with something reflective it wont work?
>>724719273It's great, but id recommend playing the base game a bit before getting into the mod. CK3 vanilla isn't too complicated so you should get the basics down pretty quick.>>724719303You do the reveal yourself to the vatican activity which breaks the masquerade, then you have to survive 30 years of an empowered inquisition attacking the vampire world and once that's done, and after you've wiped out the last landed hunters, you can take a decision which permently ends the masquerade and gives you that title and a nice trait.
>>724700047All sects are almost the same with minor diferences. Cammy is only wrong about denial of Antediluvians, they even know they exist because of week of nightmares but still deny it, while sabbat pretends to care about them but act as teenage edgelords and fuckhead instead and if Antediluvian showed himself there would be nothing they can do about it. They got outplayed by sleeping Tzimisce and Lasombra decided that he don't care about material world and became one with shadows.All sects are the same have strict hierarchy, cammy have princes, anarchs have barons and other leaders while sabbat have bishops, all have masquerade, while sabbat pretend to not care about it sabbat controlled cities are crime ridden hellholes so any crazy shit that pack do can be blamed on gang voilence and drugs. Sabbat even have entire ghoul family focused on media coverup, so they just uphold the masquerade while pretending not to care about it.Also cammy is smarter in war, because while both are ruled with iron fist by elders cammy have more of them and is more influencial, where sabbat send meatwave of shovelheads cammy just use ghouls and armed police/pmc framing open conflict between undead as gang war.
>>724700229No way Jeanette is that powerful. She's a clown that can barely hold her small and irrelevant turf.
>>724719261The Us*rper curse
>>724719389>dead for goodWelcome to V5 retcons Where the main Tremmy himself decided to body hop so that Saulot wouldn't soulvore him Still a big case of mage hubris
>>724719461Iirc there are a few vamps with true faith scores. Though finding Caine was easy too, all Becket had to do was enter the cave Sarlot sealed.
>>724719410because I'm an /x/-tier schizo that likes Fae stuff and I think it has a lot of fun baddies like ghasts and bogeys
>>724719523It's basically fanfiction in a book written much later by someone who wasn't involved with the game at all. Any time the books try to use anything from VtMB it's just bad.
>>724719261blood stealing niggas
>>724719504Good question. Ultimately it's up to the person running the game whether or not that works but I'd probably say it depends how far away the sun is, if it's during the daytime then yes but if you choose to reflect sunlight from orbit and then reflect that into a vamp I don't think it'll work
>>724700229this is fanfic. troika clearly didn't mean for her to be so powerful. there's no way therese would be living in a shitty night club and hustling if she had power.
>>724706163Anon... you are a simp...
>pic related slaps your GF's ass and she gigglesI mean how do we even compete? If vampires went public, we all would be dead after a generation due to simply no girl preferring us over these chads
>>724699937Being really powerful doesnt mean anything when the unwashed masses outnumber you by a significant degree.
>>724718603Fun. Took some pretty big liberties with the setting in a few aspects but otherwise hard to complain. Shame about the lead actor.
>>724719572>Any time the books try to use anything from VtMB it's just badI still think it's funny how that one author wrote Caine as a qt short twink
hey toreadors watch this *opens a curtain revealing a beautiful sunrise*
>>724719709I always assumed she was 8-9th gen like the protagonist as she's relatively new but still more than small fish. It doesn't help that Santa Monica as we see it is the size of a street with 4 vamps, the actual domain itself should have maybe 40-50 if we go by population size, 90 in 2024 according to the recommended 1 vamp per 10k mortals
>>724719778>these chads>only thing hard in that pic is his own nipples
>>724719245>>724719253NTA but it's all spiritual bullshit not physics, they don't have allergy to sunlight or uv light, they are cursed.This is why moon don't work but orbital mirror can kill 3rd gen vampire.Best vamp can do is to try to tank it woth fortitude for couple seconds, possess someone with domination if powerfull enough to not to sleep during day, or be kiasyd and use their weird ritual that turn them into humans for 24h.
>>724719709the Voerman sisters are a much bigger deal in current WoDThey're getting a new loredump in a couple months when the Succubus Club book releases
>i am sure to win because I am a vampi-ACK
>>724719492I played VTMB about 10 years ago as a Tremere and it was fun, but I was trying to imagine what it would be like for an overly verbose and drunken /lit/ty person who recently got embraced, to wind up lost in the world, and risking breaking the masquerade by imagining them power drunk and using their vampiric ability to pool blood into women's breasts and making them bigger, using the money 3 cheat and not masturbating as much as you would think I think maybe there would be a better clan for this.
>>724719918nigga was hit so hard his face turned inside out
>>724719860yeah. jeanette could keep powers like that a secret and live small but not therese, no way. she's definitely around gen 8
>>724719918Hardened skinHardened muscleHardened bloodHardened boneDepends on how old they are.
>>724720023>hardened sk-ACK
>>724719932you have some issues. maybe malk fits you better.
>>724714560He might honestly just be a mage/marauder
>>724720023>cool story
>>724719389>His bloodline is just as fucked as he was, especially now that he's dead for good.>>724719534>Welcome to V5 retconsThere was no recton, Tremere was aliveish with some body jumping fuckery, I won't even try to remember who was possessing what body, but iirc Sauloth freed himself and Tremere was alive in diferent body, it was written up straight in Gehenna book.
>>724720023Ok, so why didn't this save them from the peasants with torches and sticks?
>>724718603SUNRISE MOTHERFUCKER
>>724699975Or just Play Vampire Dark Ages.>Turn it into a fantasy RPG "earth" world variant instead with these factions with no hiding their power levels.>Suddenly it becomes kino.
>>724719778Does he even lift?
>>724716210I think it's a reference to a stephen king movie Sleepwalkers
>>724720189Because pesants were armed with torches and sticks, modern day people don't have acess to such lethal weapons, instead all they get are some cucked firearms.
was andrei trying to bait the camarilla into killing deb?
>>724720301Those weapons barely do any damage to vampires though? Swords and battle axes would be more harmful.
>>724720098I don't think I'm a clairvoyant though, or that insightful, maybe strange in relation to the world, I'm ok at masking.
>>724720189Back then, the clans favored numbers, where they would just mass embrace a bunch of retards expecting them to die as fodder. So when they were nearly wiped out, that was just the 90% of them that were weak as fuck, many not even understanding what they were.
>>724719905paradox is trying to diablerize vtmb
>>724720253When you are a 6'4 nordic chad, you don't need to try that hard
>>724720371No he's just a troll
>>724720405....so why are they so afraid of being "revealed" , it's almost like they're afraid they would get a repeat of the torches and sticks if that happened.
>>724720502
>>724720253face>height>shoulder width>reasonable BMI>musculature
>>724720569That face along with the dialogue is something else lol
>>724720569wtf andrei
>>724719523Generation isn't that important. Starting from 7th it has greater potential but that potential needs to be realised.
>>724720569Based.
>>724720569Dude so bored with eternal life he goes round clogging toilets with his shit
>>724720583> Big cock > face > height > should width > reasonable BMI > abs > big muscles.There we go, that's the formula.
>>724720385Torches deal aggravated damage due to fire and can cause rotshreck. Sticks are unplesant to be beaten with, can be put in vampire's heart freezing him, and even worse stick can be inserted into vamp's asshole. Imagine you are staked through heart and then molested with stick, they don't even need to bring torches or bladed weapons for decapitation, you would walk in the sun yourself.Thankfully such weapons are not in use today because we have flashlights and power tools, that can't do any real damage to vampire.
>>724699937Can you assholes stop talking about the fucking game for five fucking seconds? It's not our fault the retards that based a game around us have a habit of sewer diving
andrei is the most based character in the game
>>724699937>go helplessly catatonic as soon as the sun rises>anyone you piss off can follow you until you collapse and just drag you into the sun, or could otherwise destroy the building you're in.Wow I wonder why secrecy would be important to these creatures. I hope they clarify this in Bloodlines 3.
>>724699937Sequel mogs
>>724720690starting from sixth, which is amazing in santa monica. therese would definitely make use of her potential.
>>724720797you can't go big cock first realistically, even bulges from men are frowned upon, there is no way you could pull it off, you'd spend decades researching how to telepathically put an image of your big cock into their heads before a better face or bigger shoulders would work.
>>724719905ugh
>>7247210167th can raise traits to 6.
>>724720371As far as we know he didn't send any of his creatures of sabbat pack to kill her.Him breaching masquerade was just fucking around with what clearly is cammarilla asset, you can see how she act when anything real about vampires is brough up like Andrei calling or conspiracy guy figuring out what is happening for real, she either hangs up and is presumably making calls off screen and is ridiculing caller for being weirdo.
SHE CRIESCHILDREN OFTEN DO
>>724721175WHEN THEY'RE COLDAND HUNGRY TOOi listened to music from the succubus club for halloween yesterday, was still enjoyablewww.youtube.com/watch?v=vympzV240mM
>>724720238A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
>>724721147i like to think that deb isn't a vampire or a ghoul, but she is dangerously close to realizing the truth about vampires and she is terrified. andrei enjoys scaring her and playing with the masquerade. he doesn't want deb killed per se, but he is trying to piss the camarilla off. if they had to make deb disappear he would be delighted. that nigga loves being evil and has way too much free time
>>724720569The best(?) part about this is Andrei really did have his abominations crawling through streaming shit and piss day and night to find the Nosferatu, what a horrible fate.
love that andrei thrives as an unholy evil monster
>>724721496A fun concept, but after listening to enough obscure stations and public access channels, you just sorta get used to weird-ass freakshit people. Picture your average unhinged shitpost but spoken verbally.That one goth chick from that Raw Time show got popular recently after, like, 30 years or whatever, that's a good example.
>>724720837
>>724721021No its not, just dress in black pants or whatever that hide your big bulge.
>>724721021you just have big cock energy or not and women can sense it
>>724721940wouldn't that be the exact opposite of putting your big cock forward, at what use would it be then
VtMB handled vampires perfectly. The setting sucks and the game made it good.In the ''real'' ''lore'' vampires control everything and they are basically gods, but they are still the weakest of all supernatural creatures. It's cringe and it's stupid.In the game the vampires are basically LARPers. Their power is laughably low. They roleplay as these big tough predators but the height of power for them is to just have a big building. Santa Monica has like 10 vampires, that's their big empire and it's not just the limitations of the engine, it's flat out stated in the game.In the game the vampires really can't even be that powerful. All the vampires are eternally cucked by the fact that vampires can't go out in the sun so these vampires will never be anyone of real importance.The top vampires in the game are>guy who arrived in the city and claims to be the leader of all the 50 vampires in the area, this claim holds any power only because he has a really big and strong bodyguard>woman who sits in a club>nosferatu who sit in the sewers and hack computers all day>hollywood producer who just funds movie projects and spends his time looking for rare videos>bunch of wannabe rebels sitting in a bar not doing anything except talking shit, only doing anything when their lives are directly threatened, if meeting up once and killing 1 werewolf even counts as doing somethingThese vampires are pathetic and their lives are worse than they would be if they were alive. The only guy of any real relevance is the actor vampire and the seconds he turns into a vampire it's just a problem for everyone and his life is ruined, he can't act anymore because he can't go out in the sun.Out of all the vampires the only real one is Jack. He just blows up a guy he doesn't like. The rest are just really pathetic and sad. They are total nobodies and only can maintain the masquerade because there are not that many of them and they just hide in the dark LARPing as these big powerful creatures
>>724722006whilst I don't disagree totally, this is dangerously close to the logic of, "to have sex you need to have had sex."
>>724717632No, because that's being presented with reality under the veil - basically the chance to be imbued (and if you're a pussy about it you're forever branded a bystander). That said there's 100s of thousands of people that know about Vampires etc, so I guess just "knowing" isn't enough for imbuing, and it's backwards to the causality you would normally assume - you saw them because you will in the future choose to be either imbued and dedicate your life to it or become a "bystander"Also slightly off topic, but isn't Bloodborne basically unofficially a "Hunter" game ?
>>724718901torrents or internet archive bro
>>724722017No it just means what "women find attractive" in "socially appropriate context" when you are naked in front of her and you got a big cock, that's it.
>>724722085desu I thought a weak point of the game was not having enough night-time normies.
>>724710679Wow, literally me
>>724722148the point of arranging what parts of the body should be in what order is that they are of use before you are in the same room having sex, in that sense having a big cock would be near the bottom of the list, which is my point
>>724714643Didn't he just go to the Abyss (from maybe Orpheus or Demon who knows - I know they purposely make it so the abyss Lasombra in is technically distinct from anything to do with those or even the "abyss" in Mage/Werewolf/Wraith)But what's the "intended" cosmogony
>>724722274Perhaps in the middle then.
rat blood is tastes completely fine. don't see what the big issue is.
>>724722165That was just a practical limitation of systems at the time. I mean LA is a huge city with a lot of people and plenty of night life, but that would have blown up early 00's PC's if they tried to do that. I mean I remember being blown away by the mardi gras level in hitman blood money because holy shit... there were so many people, its still kind of impressive today.
>>724722438>you will drink ze rats
make a new thread i wanna continue shitposting about vampires since it's halloween and all
do bugs have blood?
>>724722438Bon Appetit!
you will live in ze sewers
>>724722438bloody nosferatu
>>724722389I don't intend to be a contentious bore, but most people who think having a nine incher or whatever barely get past the "uhhhh I would send a dick pic" which is like playing with fire, maybe would be doable in the infancy of the internet, but not so much now, and having 'big dick energy' isn't even really about having a large penis as it is about being a big shot.
>>724722348In DtF Abyss you can sort of sense others "nearby" and sort of perceive what they are "saying" but it's very lonely and sensory deprived. And Fallen are continuously dragged to there unless they have managed to get a body one way or another. So technically there is no problem with Lasombra using it for shortcuts.
>>724722507both Blood Money and Bloodlines are in the top 10 of most soulful games ever for me, just absolutely oozed style.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Itam7_w7x5A
>>724722753why didnt she just get a heart transplant?
the ladies call me "OH GAWD~"
>>724722507The blood money level was absolutely insane. I don't think I've even seen anything like it since. The closest I can think of is fucking WoW when there are too many players in one area and it lags even on high end computers. Blood Money ran smooth with thousands of people on the screen. The way they did it is pure magic.
>>724722606Yes, but its not like mammalian blood. They have an open circulatory system (they have a simple heart that slurps up blood from the lower cavity and then squirts it out over the top). And the reason bugs look green when you squish them, is because their blood uses copper, and not iron to move oxygen. When copper is exposed to oxygen it turns green, when iron is exposed to oxygen it turns red.
>>724722606have you really never seen bug blood before?? do you not have mosquitoes
>>724723197very funny
>>724723182Could vampires drink it?

>>724723330I mean I think it was more about life force than getting actual nutrition from the blood. Renfield talks about it in the dracula books when he starts eating bugs >N-no I didn't!
>>724717617It still cracks me that they are trying to sell it as>uhh she is an elder so she doesn't care about our human waysCan't wait for paradox to fire half their publishing team
