Hah! I'm glad yr listening so I don't have do. Fun stuff.
BTW, thanks for the Bloodlines rec. Loving it! About 4/5s of the way through as a Toreador and just started another game as a Malk. The dialog and story options are great! Next thing you know I'm gonna want to dig my old Love Sucks shirt out of mothballs.
I will cheerfully describe Bloodlines as my favorite game ever- I love the FPS/RPG blend, and it absolutely perfectly captures the source material. Glad you're liking it. :D
Okay, so if I've been running my Toreador as a persuade/melee character and plan on running the Malk as a stealth one, which clan should I go with on a third go-through? Tremere?
Also, I wish I could get the bonus content to work. Do you know if wesp's patch works with the Steam version of the game? I'd almost be up for paying for it twice.
Hm, maybe I'll go with Nosferatu then. As much as I liked all of the human interaction, I pretty much never had to worry about Masquerade violations, and that might be a fun challenge.
I'll keep an eye open for a sale on the Steam version, then. Not sure I want to drop $20 for a third go through, but maybe another $10...
While we're talking broken but lovable games, did you ever play this? Well worth the purchase if only for the spot-on rendering of the escape-from-Dunwich-hotel sequence (the only well-paced bit of plotting ever done by HPL).
Nosferatu are fucking ridiculous with melee because high-level obfuscate gives you bonuses for hitting people while obfuscated and that combines with Potence in amazing ways- like, 200 damage hits.
I was deeply disappointed with Dark Corners of the Earth; I thought it was very poorly designed.
Dang. Alright, I'll go with Noseferatu next time. Would've been cool if they'd included Samedi if only so I could rock the same Swans T I own.
I'd been looking forward to Dark Corners for years when it was released, so I couldn't help but be disappointed in some ways. The mechanics were sloppy, but I liked the idea of splinting particular body parts (hadn't played Deus Ex at that point - sue me), and I was very happy with the atmosphere.
Oh yeah, one more cool thing about V:Bloodlines - it set me on a total Collide kick, and I realised that I only had hard copies of a couple of their CDs. $100 later, I have the remainder of their discography (as well as the two Secret Project maxis) en route. :P
...Also, is it ever worth running a character with totally jacked up ranged combat stats? Guns seem far too inaccurate to ever justify the XP expenditure.
