just finished this for the first time as a gangrel, perhaps a class too combat heavy, specially on the last areas that ended up being a bit of chore, but it was nice overall, it still felt as unfinished as people say it is, and I felt too railroaded into working for Lacroix until the choices at the end

I want to do a malkavian or nosferatu run just to see how much they actually change the game

Seconded. I never understood people who complained that class was too hard to play. You get a free/super effective (and God damn hilarious) mental dominate ability right at the start, giving you all the more skill points to put in combat/stealth.

After playing through a few times I suggest looking into restored content mods as it really improves the game's lifespan, like they do with STALKER or KOTOR2.

Nah, the game was my first and only foray into Vampire the Masquerade and I understood the setting well enough. You're neophyte vampire anyhow, so they explain shit to you in-character. Though, a lot of it isn't directly spoken, more on the level of things you pick up from context.

Which only makes the rise in power all the more satisfying.

I played this in 2012, never had the chance to play it before then and my God, I felt the same amazement I did with so many other good, older games. Finishing VTMB just left me with a feeling I thought dead to me; the bittersweet feel of a good game finally ending and wishing it didn't. I never recapture the same feeling I did the first time, but it is always so damned good even with its flaws. It's a blast from the late-90's/early-2000's past. If you look past it's flaws and bugs, it is magical.

Nosferatu is fun, doing that run now. Most humans won't talk to you so it changes a lot of conversations, sometimes makes things easier though. It's fun as a hacking lockpicking ultimate stealth class. Malkavian has entirely new dialogue written for every choice, and often different responses from that dialogue, also a good stealth class.

Probably Caine, who isn't the Cab Driver by the way. That's just a Malkavian who thinks he's Caine. Canon-wise this game occurs before the Time of Judgement setting, during which Gehenna occurs and the antediluvians come back and conquer earth.

Bulletpoints:

>God brings judgement on all vampires through Wormwood, destroying them utterly - except perhaps for a few Chosen who might survive

>the traditional vampire creation myth of Caine turns out to be only part of the story, and it is neither Caine nor God who comes to pass judgement on the Kindred.

>Possibly an ancient vampire's awakening breaches the Masquerade, and the fight against its evil occurs against a backdrop of mortal chaos

>or possibly Gehenna begins with the end of the Masquerade, and the ensuing war between Kindred and Kine awakens the Antediluvians who seek to ascend to godhood

Nobody aside from wesp restores cut content. Wesp keeps in touch with some the game devs (like Mitsoda and Schaffer) and recreates most stuff based on their unpublished design docs and leftover files. At this point he exhausted nearly all resources. All other mods are just content never planned for the game and its specific scenario.

Yup. The original Tremere was some human wizard or something that killed off another entire clan and their Antediluvian to steal their vampire-ness for himself. That's why Tremere are wizards. Runs in the family.


4f4b8c No.13620892

>>13620775

Now let me teach you a little bit about white wolf lore.

Tremere (the guy) was a mage from the order of Hermes, a mage in WoD being something short of a living god. Since their immortality potions weren't working he decided to use Life magic to transform himself into a vampire by some magic memery. When you become a vampire your avatar gets destroyed (avatar being kind of like a STAND that you get when you "awake" as a mage, it's the source of your magic), since his avatar got destroyed he was rendered unable to do actual magic and had to settle up with teaching the infinitely weaker version of Life magic known as Thaumaturgy or Blood Magic.

Have in mind that he had literally no reason to do this, rule and lore wise, an arete 5 mage can teleport Caine into the sun without even batting an eye.

Old World of Darkness was pretty goth and goth was slightly leaning left because of not wanting to be associated with 'conformity',

New World of Darkness after White Wolf fold their printing game and revert to only selling their IP became shit because it was SJW (Onyx Path) that bought (rent) their IP. The even try to call out GooberGate in their fluff and calling themselves (the deviants, Beasts) a "misunderstood poor creature born with something special and the body they do not identify with a nd everyone do not understand" (i.e. I have to torment people, but it is my schtick, shitlord).

The Onyx Path was not only pozzed to the max, but hostile to retailers because they are fucking incompetent in business and cannot speak with normal people without sounding like a fag they are and shitting on others without reasons and only sells through PDF to their SJW drones. To the point that my local hobby shop and other hobby shops banned nWoD.

Also Valve are at least as much to blame as Activision, not only did they have an embargo like in picrelated (ignore his bitching about Activision, Cain and co are notorious for poor time management and didn't really understand the time it takes to get things tested and physically shipped out) but they refused to answer any requests for technical support with the Source engine.

If you really can't stand the sewers just use sv_cheats and noclip. Frankly I never got the complaints, it's nice to have a bit of combat and the game repeatedly warns you beforehand that you can't just talk your way out of every problem. Hell it'll even give you free combat skills if you don't have enough.

I like the Warrens. Played it the first time as full melee Gangrel with Prothean and Fortitude up the ass. First time I ran into one of these beauties, I was pumped as fuck, went in Disciplines roaring and had myself a good RIP'N TEAR time. Won the fight, healed myself up using one of my few blood bags(dumb as bricks Gangrel; poor as fuck so only like two or three with me) and then started looking for what to do next.

Dropped down the shaft into the no-return sewers and turn the corner, only to find another one of these beauties staring right at me. Almost shat myself. Had to resort to eating rats for regen, while running around fucking terrified of all the enemies. Had the time of my life.

Next playthrough I realized you can just backpedal with a shotgun and make short work of them. Kind of killed that experience, but oh well.

Well you can actually duck out halfway through i.e. after you've escaped from Andrei's basement but before you enter the actual sewer proper, there's a door that leads back to the main sewers and from there you can go stock up on stuff or take a break and do side content.

If you're desperate for more of the universe or you want a new RPG to play and have done most of the common recommendations then maybe. It's not bad, just largely forgettable. Friendly reminder that we're sitting on 3600+ active ISPs instead of the standard 2800 because of a halfchan rapefugee influx, ignore bait and call faggots out so they'll lurk or leave.

It's a pretty fun little RP game. I don't thinks it's classic or anything but for the kind of people that browse 8ch now it really hits home. It's not the only game like this either.

For me, the game fell apart once you hit Chinatown. Completely loses the feel it had up to that point and all of the endings are utter trash. Felt rushed as fuck.

How so?

Chinatown wasn’t my favourite area either, but if it didn’t fall apart during the Warrens, it sure shouldn’t come apart at Chinatown. It did suffer from a lack of quests though.

Up to that point the game really had a consistent aesthetic and feel. For me the best thing about the game was the sense of atmosphere, at least in the first two acts. It was already starting to fray once you get to Hollywood, but once you hit Chinatown it went from mysterious and intriguing noir to a cheesy b monster movie kind of feel. And all the endings reinforced that feeling, rather than the one you had in the first two acts.

So these VTMB threads are pretty common on /v/. Got me thinking.

I recently got into a V20: Dark Ages game, which focuses on the creation of Clan Tremere. The game happens once a week normally, on Saturdays. The ST is supposedly a history buff and is using that to keep the game going, since its set in the 10th century currently. Do you guys want me to record the transcripts and turn everything that happens into Greentext stories?

Normally that stuff goes on /tg/, but that board is dead. You guys seem to enjoy your oWoD vidya, and its tangentially related to the vidya (history of a playable clan in VTMB, from its inception to Gehenna), so what do you think?

If nobody is interested, I’ll fuck off, no worries.

So before we begin, best to do a quick info dump for reader context.

This game I’m recording the events from starts with house Tremere, not clan Tremere. This is important, because it means that none of them are vampires yet. They are all still all mages at the start of the game. House Tremere was one of many houses in the Order of Hermes, which was like the darker, interdimensional Hogwarts of the oWoD setting. Of the different Mage traditions, they are the ones who practice Hermetic magic (Which is the kind of magic where you can get repeatable results by following magical formula. Eye of Newt + Soil from your birthland, ingested at midnight while upside down and reciting a latin chant = cure your hangover, with the same result no matter who does it, as long as the person doing it is a hermetic mage). Hermetic magic takes willpower, knowledge, and components (material and non-tangible both) to activate.

And like most other types of magic, it’s failing. Magic is getting weaker year after year in the oWoD setting, and that means that the legendary Potions of Immortality that the Order of Hermes uses are getting weaker. At the rate they are depleting, they are estimated to be nonfunctional within a thousand years. For those Hermetic mages who DON’T want to die, this is a big problem. And the mages of House Tremere (the shady fuckwads of the Order of Hermes) are looking for a way to survive the failing of Magic. That brings us to the year of our lord, 973 AD. And the beginning of the greentext story, of Bandit-Chad, the Mage turned Vampire.
