I just finished a game as tremere and now im playing gangrelis it normal if I can't see different levels of protean in my discipline mouse wheel? all im seeing is "protean" despite having level 2 feral claws, not seeing any feral claw optionI just activate "protean" and it automatically gives me level 1 heat vision and level 2 claws, is that how it is for protean? I can't select specific levels like tremere's thaumaturgy?pls advise, im playing with the unofficial patch (Plus patch included)
>>729439052That's how it works, it just gets upgraded with each level.I know it sucks because the heat vision looks terrible.
>>729439649alright thanks at least, it'll be fun to be an up close brawling monster, though I will miss the god like tremere power of walking into a crowd of enemies and insta suiciding the entire room, spamming auspex was nice toofuck im actually not rlly looking to this gangrel run now
>>729439841I find it quite satisfying when you get protean warform and you can run through the levels causing a massacre. Simple tastes on my part probably. Just keep spamming fortitude and blood buff so you're always charged up and feed on enemies when you run out. Half the time even if the room is still full of enemies shooting at you, you can half replenish your blood and health by feeding mid firefight as the enemies miss you half the time.
>>729440267yeah good point, I just raided that beach house for mercurio and shit felt completely different from tremere, no stealth no trance needed, just ran in and raped, felt greatI wonder if max fortitude is gonna let me tank that werewolf, im assuming its unbeatable but that mission was scary as fuck being lanklet blood caster, maybe I'll just be strolling the park casually this time while the wolf does me like that raidenVarmstrong meme
>>729439052Try pressing K, see if you can activate level 1 and 2 seperately
>>729439052gangrel is cool cuz u can either go full into the warform or you can do a bit of casting wit hthe vampire bats and wolf or a bit of both
>>729439052>be outside>sv_friction 0>reach next interior/quest location>sv_friction 4I got places to be and bitches to suck
>>729439841whys jeannette featured so heavily on the cover and marketing of bloodlines as the sexy vampire girl, when VV in hollywood exists, shes literally hotter than jeannette in every way
>>729441007You can kill werewolf with observatory doors.
>>729441432VV feels like an afterthought - iirc she's completely missable, her quest is kinda boring, and she doesn't actually have much dialogue anyway
>>729439841Nothing is really monstrous in VtMb asides that one Tzigger fleshcrafting his entire mansion.
>>729441007>im assuming its unbeatableyou can kill it with gangrel frenzy if all your combat skills are maxed i think
>>729441007>werewolfis bloodlines the only piece of vampire media to actually hold werewolves to a degree of respect? Its the only vampire story that actually shows what werewolves have over vampires i.e being infinitely stronger in every physical way and impervious to all vampire sorcery or weapons, and all vampires avoid the shit out of them out of sheer fearmeanwhile in twilight theyre just oversized dogs compared to the vampires being just as physically strong + magical, and in the underworld series theyre basically orks, moderately strong and angry brutes, getting sliced up daily by vampires iirc
>>729442640the civilians cowering in the corners at the sabbats HQ with their eyes gouged out was pretty freaky stuffand luring an innocent to vandal to get turned into a bloodbag
>>729442934Arguably Pisha as well
>>729442934>and luring an innocent to vandal to get turned into a bloodbagJust send that faggot surgeon. Or just dominate vandal instead.
>>729442640>ghost's husband who chopped his entire family limb by limb and burned the hotel down>DMP who kidnap bums and addicts off the street for snuff films
>>729443059>Just send that faggot surgeon.Outed. You can only do that with plus patch installed.
>>729443028I killed that bitch after she gave me all her trinketsIts what she deserved after making me run back and forth through that whole fucking building just to finish her retarded quests, use your cannibal teeth to eat a hole in the ceiling so i dont have to keep crawling and jumping, both ways
>>729442807>infinitely stronger in every physical way and impervious to all vampire sorcery or weapons, and all vampires avoid the shit out of them out of sheer fearNot really. The Tzimisce actively hunt and exterminate them for sport. Vukodlak (from VtMR) even earned his name for being exceptionally good at it. Granted, the dragons are horrifying even by Vampiric standards and cause other clans to shit themselves, but they arent exception either, more powerful elders and methuselahs can also eat the Garou for breakfast.
>>729439052I would but I never finish the game if I don't play as Malkavianearly stealth sections get on my nerves
>>729443273Erm, don't know how to say this anon, but there's literally a vent in the front room on the left where the computer is that leads directly down into her room. She gives you a key after you meet her the first time....
>>729442807Werewolves in World of Darkness are walking tanks. Werwolf have minimum 3 forms, human, wolf(or other animal there is entire game about them) and war form.Also where Vampires need masquerade to not be detected and hunted by humans, werewolves have supernatular copium so human who just witnessed 3 meters tall garou warform tearing someone to shreds will gaslight himself into believing it was just wildlife attack and not by supernatural monster.Of course vampire can win against wolf either by group effort or strong elder can solo it but wolves are tanks and elder ones are no joke.There are also mages, mages are OP.
>>729443362The only real stealth section is the elizabeth dane but you can just go loud on that and the only penalty is not getting a bonus if I remember rightly. The museum is the other one, but I don't think there's any penalty to getting spotted there.
>>729443373youre kidding
>>729443536lolllllll
>>729442934>>729443062I was talking about vampires, not mortals doing retarded shit.If anything, it only proves that the immortality and magic tricks are the only real difference between Cainites and Sethites so there's no inherent moral distinction between them.
>>729443459>>729443294Bloodlines only player hereThis is all just making me really sad that we never got any more good first person rpg around world of darkness, especially after the last one shat the bed so hard
>>729443718>not mortals doing retarded shitits the sabbat ripping out normies eyeballs, they aren't doing it to themselves, probably has something to do with the fucked up initiation rites they got, or the satanic rituals they practice
>>729443741World of Darkness is a cursed franchise, you just have to accept it.
angry lethal sex with damselthats all I came here to say
>>729441330i spent over half the game not knowing you needed to press "n" to see the next page of emails, wondering why im not getting any quests or new messages so far in
>>729443903must also specify bloodlines 1 damsel, of course
>>729443846>probably has something to do with the fucked up initiation rites they got,DMP Mentioned already>or the satanic rituals they practiceHilariously enough, Vampires (save for a few oddballs, like the Baali, or Tal'Mahe'Ra cultists) hate infernalists with passion and are actively wiping them out both among mortals and supernaturals. Yes, this includes the Sabbat.
>>729439052Sometimes I rewatch the hospital cutscene where you rescue lily, and I self insert as the doctor she pins down and sucks dryI get hard
>>729443846>probably has something to do with the fucked up initiation rites they got, or the satanic rituals they practiceNah it's just sabbat being edgy and eyless blooddool won't try anything funny like running away because it's scared and eyless. Wall decorations are just decorations.Also Sabbat have no satanic rituals that's Baali who are hated by everyone.Sabbat is straight forward edgelord, 'ate camarilla, 'ate elders 'ate antediluvians, luv me pack simple as. Only common ritual Sabbat have is drinking pcak's mixed blood to build up pack loyality.There are also shovelheads who are created in mass embrace, hit in head with a shovel, buried, and once they unbury themselves are then shoved into frontlines at cannon fodder.
>>729439052It would be funny if someone made a version of that with Bloodlines 2.
>>729441330Once I discovered the console so many PC games became lame as fuck. I can't deny myself noclip in vtmb, I save so much god damn time.
>game punishes you for not playing the only 2 clans that have celeritythis fucking quest was demented as tremere, im not ashamed to say I abused sv_frictionnot looking forward to it as gangrel
>>729444375he is literally me
>>729443741>>729443890I guess it would be more popular and mainstream (thus profitable), if most of the games didnt took themselves too seriously and the authors didnt have their heads too high up in their ass, being freaky and writing some retarded goyslop like poor Russian faggots being exterminated by evil Vampire overlords.
>>729444375>farm or furrythere's a difference?
>west has kindred>east has kuejinare there any vampires in africa? idk jack about bloodline's world but the thought just popped into my head
>>729445054Laibon, but they're just black versions of the 13 original clans.
>>729444715Just buy him a hooker it's same reward without doing stupid zombie quest.
>>729445054The sheriff is literally from africa
>8/10 humanity >random frenzy whilst sneaking giovanni mansion >immediately reload saveFUCK YOU GAME
>>729445054There was entire book about african kindred.Sheriff is African vampire.
>>729445250nah its 1 less XP for the hooker quest compared to guard duty
Do vampires have tubes inside their teeth they just suck blood through like straws? Is it ever detailed how these vamps drink blood?
>>729445506Just turn to an ancient and mysterious Cainite ability to enhance your power: Cheat codes
>>729444375I feel like 2004 predates furry shit being well known lol
>>729445602It's a supernatural feat that isnt detailed. They can drain entire vessel in a minute or two which shouldnt be normally possible.Some of the more advanced Tzimisce dont even use fangs at all and drain the vessel with their hands like Dio Brando thanks to Vicissitude.
>>729445506After trying for multiple times as torreador I decided that 1XP isn't worth it.
>>729444715I played gangrel most recently and actually didn't find it too bad - still took me about three attempts, but you can see some of the zombies aggro to you which you can ignore, some spawn and go straight for the gates. When it gets down to the last minute, basically just clear the zombies actively attacking the gates and ignore any still walking towards it, then run back to the other. When going from the top gate to the lower, hug the top of the embankment to the left and jump across towards the hut to cut out the corner. Also, if you run diagonally holding W and a strafing key, you run faster. I may be wrong but it feels like of you aim at the head with a melee weapon you often instakill them as well, but it might just be a hidden dice roll idk
>>729445716cool shit, a mod to unlock the ability to change feed attempts appearances into choke grabs would be nice
>>729445506>>729445623>>729445880Just get on the fence and go to the rightmost side of the cemetery and wait there until the time passes.seriously.
>>729445686Furry has been a thing for decades.
>>729445602Teeth are there to make holes in victim, then vampire simply drinks blood normal way. They even can drink blood from glass or mug.Feeding is messy process so vampires manipulate fashion so dark is always popular, because black can hide bloodstains. Vampires dress in white as statement that they are super skilled at feeding because you can easly spot bloodstain on white.There was major flaw during character creation in tt where your teeth don't work and I think there was minor bloodline that had teeth that didn't work so these vampires had to use knife or other sharp object to puncture the skin and get blood out.
>>729444851Farm = real animals. Furry = fictional anthropomorphic animals.
>>729445880how did you fail multiple times with the most easy mode discipline in the game
>>729446438because hes a t*r**d*r. Of course the representative of clan of faggots would fail do anything right
>>729445054The Laibon Legacies>Akunanse - nomads and storytellers, parent clan: Gangrel>Followers of Set - kinda the same as regular Followers of Set>Guruhi - leaders and aristocrats, parent clan: Nosferatu>Ishtarri - hedonists and social butterflies, parent clan: Toreador>Kinyonyi - mercenaries, nomads and travelers, parent clan: Ravnos>Nagloper - feral monsters, feared and hated, parent clan: Tzimisce>Osebo - warriors and enforcers, parent clan: Brujah>Shango - Guruhi's right hands, sorcerers, judges and assassins, parent clan: Assamites>Xi Dundu - Guruhi's main rivals, parent clan: LasombraAnd some minor ones>Malkavians - the same as regular, but more loathed>Mla Watu - necromancers that want to be left alone, parent clan: Cappadocians>Nkulu Zao - soul-eaters, for real this time, parent clan: Salubri>Ventrue - the same as regular, but viewed as outsiders, rarely in powerThey are regular vampires, they have a myth about Cagn, that's very similar to Cain. The book about them is called Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom.There was also a plan to do something similar with South America and their Drowned Legacies, but there's very little about them. Most people in-lore see them as just bloodlines of existing stuff, yet few see them as a separate phenomenon similar to Kuei-jin.
>>729444178this faggot wants to get sucked to death by teen girls
>>729446631>Guruhi - leaders and aristocrats, parent clan: Nosferatu>Ventrue - the same as regular, but viewed as outsiders, rarely in powerso theyre bizarro kindreds
>>729441432Far more iconic design.
>>729446438Last 30 seconds there is too many zombies, after quickly protecting one gate other gets broken before I can even get to it. My record was something like 12 or 8 seconds remaining and decided that this quest sucks and I can do it with dialogue option instead..
>>729444715I was playing gun malk and did fine.
>>729446657you don't?
>>729443903between bl1 damsel and heather this game gave me a rager for redheads since 2009
Reminder: This entire thread is just Malkav schizoposting with different identities.
>>729439052Is it because of nostalgia or today's game writing aren't as good as before?
>>729447298Who in their right mind would do such a thing?
>>729447647As someone who played bloodlines for first time 5 years ago, it's not nostalgia, today's writting is just bad.
>>729447717>in their right mindHeh...

>>729443362the stealth is the most broken part of this game its insanely easy bordering on bugged, you can stealth crouch directly pass a dude staring right at you at just 3 lvl stealth
>>729448564Night isnt over yet, fledgling.There's still more ahead
>>729443362Stealth is optional
>>729439052Only 3 playthroughs are actually worth it. Ventrue for a normal run, Malk for the "OMG HE'S REFERENCING UPCOMING EVENTS THAT HE CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW ABOUT!!111" mindfuck and Nossy for legit fucking masochists.
>open console>type "money 3"
>>729439052game is a decent 7/10 btwnothing special
>>729449212>Nossy for legit fucking masochists>when you can turn invisible and stealth entire levels outside bossessonly thing nosses can't do is seduction but you don't need to anyway, so you get more points on combat oriented skillsAlso would argue that Tremere or Torreador are better for normal run since no domination dialogue.
>>729449212Toreador for the Matrix gunfu
>>729449212>not counting the "pose whilst whole groups of lesser beings collapse in your presence" tremere runthis post stinks of togaydor falseflagging
Played as a BrujahI stopped using melee right around the time you assault the tower because meleeing every encounter would leave me at like 10% health and I couldn't be assed waiting for it to auto regen

Why is it that every time I'm about to go to bed, a Bloodlines thread appears? Does my CIA handler recognize that I am a master of Bloodlines and can answer any and all questions related to it and intentionally try to sabotage my sleep schedule with bedtime procrastination?
https://files.catbox.moe/4c85tw.mp4
>>729451195>Why is it that every time I'm about to go to bed, a Bloodlines thread appears?My dementated kindred friend, vtm threads are always present on /v/.
>>729451195WE GOT A MALKAVIAN HERE BOYS
>>729451195>answer any questionam OP, after finishing tremere and updating plus+ patch to play gangrel I noticed during the opening that it was my previous tremere character model as one of the stage handlers holding my gangrel sire down for beheading, is that an actual feature? past character showing up like that? he was even wearing the specific heavy purple jacket I wore at endgame, and not the default button shirt the typical tremere character starts with.
>>729451541Probably not, there's just code in the game itself to swap models around for some parts so there are no clones of your character.
I'm playing Bloodlines 2 and its not that bad honestly
>>729451284>>729451195little off topic but Ive recently noticed how massive Damsel's calves are, I guess all brujah models have the increased musculature be it male or female
>>729451541The game uses the PC models for certain cinematic scenes. It's not taking your previous character and using it for the intro, it's just that the Gangrel intro will use Tremere as one of the characters incapacitating you. It's like how, after returning from the Elizabeth Dane, all of the primogen in LaCroix's penthouse are Strauss and Ventrue models... unless you're playing Ventrue, in which case they're Toreador models.You'll also face different enemies when making a break from your apartment to the taxi cab.
>>729450272Did you have points in your defense stats?If you were using the plus patch it actually makes some gun enemies do a lot more damage too.
>>729451740No plus patch, and I believe I was maxed on the relevant combat stats but I can't possibly rememberDoesn't soaking mostly come from the armor anyway?
>>729451689its not a bad gameits a bad bloodlines game, everyone knows this
>>729451714They do squats to beat up Ventrue
>>729451845Armor can add +4 bash soak (blunt weapons and bullets) and +2 to lethal soak (edged weapons). Stamina adds up to +5 bash soak, and you can find a trinket that adds +1 to all soak.Defense increases your chances of not getting hit at all, which means the damage becomes 0. Soak only reduces damage once you're hit. Unarmed affects your ability to feed in combat. Feeding in combat is vital for combat characters to survive long-term and recoup lost health and blood from using disciplines.
>>729439841>>729442640>>729442934Best thing about VTMB is how you see the world from its seedier side, you are dealing with bail jumpers, perverts, serial killers, prostitutes, dealers, scammers etc; it truly is a World of Darkness.
>>729452092THIS CITY OF ANGELS REALLY IS FULLA SINNUHS, BAHSS
>>729452092Everyone being fucked up in one way or another really sells the setting. Everyone's just looking for a way out.
>>729452031An honorable purpose
>>729445054No because Toto blessed the rains down in africa
>>729452092The atmosphere works just as well as it did back then. I played the game for the first time this year and every moment in it really felt amazing. I just spent 3 minutes trying to come up with a word to summarize it but fuck it, everyone ITT knows what I meanEven just walking the Santa Monica streets gives you that feeling
After experiencing being ruled over both a Ventrue and a Tzimisce, out of these two options, the best one is to walk into the sunlight and die.
>>729452395Yeah. "Fucked."
>>729452416Who gives a fuck? Just don't fight for or against the Prince and instead spend your immortality playing vidya
>>729452654>t. nosferatu
>$12 DLC to have a handful of cosmetic things in your haven or whatever in bloodlines 2Really is a paradox game
>>729452775Nigga they tried to sell some clans on release day that were already done, and had to backpedal it because normal people outside of their usual customer base wouldn't stand for that shitImagine releasing a game so shit that day 1 DLC would have been the least bad thing about it kek
>>729452654Hard to enjoy vidya when the Ancillae and Elders bark commands at you all the time
>>729452654>you have to expose yourself to feed somehow>still have hunters, vamp blood addicts, tyrants and assholes in general looking for lone vamps to fuck withThat's the thing with wod, just trying to be left alone is a quest in itself.
