I finished the Giovanni Mansion, got the sarcophagus, and now I am standing in LaCroix's penthouse. LaCroix and the Sherriff are there, and Beckett is standing there with the sarcophagus. I can't talk to Beckett, and if I talk to LaCroix, he does the exact same dialogue about the Blood Hunt and the Sarcophagus being stolen as before and then it kicks me out of his penthouse and I can't continue the main quest because it won't do the next part without that dialogue.
Fucking game.
Now I have to go back to an earlier save before I beat the two brother guys and hope this time things will be different.
i had to go to the house of hunters. there's a room on the top floor with like five hunters in it. single cast of mass suicide killed all of them before they knew what happened.
in all honesty though, does anyone have any tips for killing tzimice as a firearms-specialty character? I would kinda like to finish off my tremere game (although brujah is fun), but I just get mauled by the handrunners every time
There is a table in the corner of the room. Jump onto it. The handrunners won't be able to get you there, and if you don't kill them more will not spawn. Then you can just spend your time shooting at Andrei when he manifests close enough to you.
Just remember that the runners are still there. :P
I kind of want to start a malk , but the lack of physical disciplines/thaumaturgy kind of puts me off.
They get Dementation, which is effectively a "magic" discipline, obfuscate which borders on the overpowered, and Auspex which is a very, very good physical discipline at level 5. All the clans are good in their own way.
Yeah you mentioned auspex was really good, but thats just for firearms though right? I should check a guide or something, last time i played i kept buying skills two minutes before i found books containing them. Or the nines thing.
3 free points of wits is pretty rocking no matter what, especially if you already have wits 5 and dodge 5, because an overall defense score of 13 means nothing other than bosses can hit you.
Cool right, so for combat, melee and a dash of firearms? Shit no, i need brawl for sucking blood too right? Do you need stealth with obsfucate or does that supercede it?
scholarship is the best skill in the game
you can buy one point of brawl, get one free from nines and then read a book (empire hotel) on it twice (sell it to fat larry and then buy it back, he'll order in other copies) for brawl 4
buy two points of melee, get two points from a book in the skyline apartments and one free from nines BEFORE you go to grout's mansion for melee 5
and you're pretty much set. going all firearms is pretty much a challenge route

You can do it for even cheaper if you're willing to wait a while. Buy the first point of melee with XP or your starting points. Get a free point from Nines. Double read the melee book. In Chinatown, you'll find the melee 5 book in the Fu Syndicate building. It takes research level 9 to use. Granted, it will only save you 3 XP, but still.
I've never really seen the melee 5 book as worth it. When you say you save 3 xp, are you including the cost of getting to research level 9? Research 6 gets you pretty much all the good shit, it's diminishing returns from there on.

You know, you might have something there. Scholarship 4 + Charisma 4 is necessary for the Giovanni hopefuls quest, but I can't recall Scholarship 5 being necessary for anything other than that book.
Well the feats work as a combination of the two, so persuade 8 can be charisma 4+scholarship 4 or scholarship 5 + charisma 3. The research feat is scholarship + intelligence, and intelligence blows so you'll want 1 point in that at most and scholarship 5. Scholarship is the best skill in the game, both of the feats it affects are awesome
oh and from an xp efficiency point of view the giovanni quest is pointless. it's also bugged to hell.

That opens up a lot of opportunities, but it all hinges on Nines being able to teach you Melee 5. You're positive he'll do that?

Welp...
I guess it was an inevitability that I would some day go through 1.2 Bloodlines checking every trigger and necessary skill level, basically creating my own walkthrough. OCD hooooo!
i have spent forever researching various ways to make it actually run, to actually do something besides get 10 seconds into the introductory cutscene and then stutter like a malkavian
nothing works. it is a bunch of baloney
but now i guess i can go back and read all the spoilers in this thread
and i am looking around and there's a "companion mod" which i figured added party members, basically, ala Fallout 3, which is cool
then i look into it more and the only companions you can have with it are the hot female characters in the game and you basically enslave them to you
i mean the people behind it obviously put a lot of work into it, they altered dialogue and stuff and added a new artifact that you make some of the vampires drink from to work for you
including a rather disturbing scene where you essentially rape Damsel in a back alley and then enslave her
that is incredibly fucked up and disturbing
i was hoping i could acquire party members in a way that wasn't horrifyingly undertoned with sexual slavery
oh, looking into it further, not all the companions you get with that mod are chicks you acquire by making them drink of your weirdo tzimisce artifact
there's also people you can pick up by ghouling them and stuff
looked down the list of companions you can have, and of those only Yukie can join you willingly and knowingly without being dominated or tricked, and only after you do her quest
that is incredibly lame
although the guy has instructions on how to add your own companions and dialogue to the game so maybe i can play with that and make this whole thing less rapetoned

MOTHER FUCKER
FUCKING GAME BROKEN DUE TO BUG:
Fucking game.

That is just not true. Level 4 is pretty good, with the running everywhere, and level 5 is amazing, you never have to uncloak except for plot reasons.
On the fight with

I WENT BACK TO AN EARLIER SAVE
DID THE FIGHT WITH THE BROTHERS AGAIN
SAME FUCKING PROBLEM
I AM SO GOD DAMN LIVID RIGHT NOW
PS4:MrZoompants
it is a bug other people have experienced, and there's no solution to it yet besides "start all the way over"
Sometimes I just say things that annoy tube.
