Ahhhh, nice. I subscribe to Humble Monthly so I get a cool 50 cents off and a Steam key.
I tried once and it didn't work. So I never bothered.
I'll try again with some patches or whatever.
Some day.

Just bought the GOG version, heard that comes with all the good mods or do I need anything else.
What all mods are compatible with GOG? Just spent several hours trying to get Antitribu and a model replacement, both failing disastrously and am very tired of trial and error.
I'd really like to play a not overtly racist brujah or any strength focused character

You can grab the lockpick at Tripp's pawnshop for $90, the price might vary. For those who haven't played the game the pawnshop shares the same building as your crappy apartment at the start.
Weird question, but should I name my character something normal or something vampire-ish? Like, I don't want to be called Steve and every other Vampire is named Lucius Bloodrain. Conversely, I don't want to be called Xander Darkbringer talking to vampires named Liam and Emma.
Lol
Lol
The character names in the game are pretty normal. If my memory serves me right. Off the top of my had you have what Nines, Jack, Sebastian, Therese, Jeanette, Gary, Heather. There might be a few exceptions here and there.
I started up a game I long since dropped for another game despite enjoying it. I will definitely try to get to this after I catch up on recent releases. I don't mind starting over though. I didn't get very far.
Right on. Consider giving it a shot if you see it on a low price you like. As old and busted as the game is in many ways, I feel it's just as modern and even ahead of its time in others. I'd call it a gaming's ultimate patchwork. In a sense it's a masterpiece. In another it's an extremely mixed bag. Overall I've never played anything else quite like it in terms of consistent atmosphere, although its older cousin Deus Ex is probably the closest.
I've played the game before so I was really tempted to go with Malkavian, but it's also been so long since I originally played it that I don't remember much so now I'm stuck figuring out what clan to go with.
There's no wrong choice. You can also always take the quiz.
This mod has some cringey shit lol
This is a very taxing experience so far, both modded and unmodded and everything in-between.
I have no idea how i somehow cheated with stats, but apparently I did while I was trying to make the ui work lol. Anyway this modder is an ass either way:

Oh god, don't temp me. I got so many games to play this weekend specifically - I rented DMC V - but this is hard to resist.
As an aside, I have a friend who is super into horror games and for the longest time I recommended he play the seaside hotel level from VtM:B. I even gifted him the game on steam and gave him a savestate of right at the start of the level. This was back around 2014 when I first suggested it to him and only just this year did he finally get around to playing the darn level.

Replaying it with the latest Clan Quest version mod, which is my favourite add-on thus far. I'm playing a Tremere who specializes in firearms. It's a lot of fun. I will never get tired of "switching off" enemies with Trance so I can run past undetected. Very useful for neutralizing enemies in combat or ensuring I don't get surprised by an unexpected patrol around the corner. Can't wait until I can make enemies vomit to death. :)
Normally my favoured build is a Toreador with a focus on melee weapons, but I'm really liking Tremere. Really looking forward to what kind of powers they'll get to play with in Bloodlines 2.

What the hell, LaCroix for some reason gave me the apartment despite me pledging allegiance to the Anarchs, being a bit of an asshole to him in the conversation leading to the boat quest and being seen in the boat. I was already dredging thinking how I would need to keep going back to Santa Monica to check for emails, it's actually the first time ever that I got an Haven outside of the first one. I'm playing on Unofficial Patch Plus, so that might explain why he gave the apartment, not sure.
I always got it.
And then in one playthrough I kissed his ass he didn't give it to me.
Sure seems like a bug that not even the unofficial mod fixes lol
Playing as a Ventrue for the first time. I played as a Malkavian on my first go, but never finished.
It's kind of nice just going around and seducing people and then draining blood, but it does suck that I cant feed on everyone or rats.
I just finished getting the bomb back for Mercutio, and now I'm going to be looking around and doing some stuff before I get too far into the main quest.

I believe it requires doing some side quests before doing the boat main quest, which I may not have done.
Dusk Golem already pointed this thread to me, but thanks for the heads-up nonetheless. :)
That's pretty much exactly where I finished up tonight too. I wish I played this game earlier, I'm really feeling it.
I liked playing through a save I made right at the beach house a few times to see if I could get what I needed a different way... and was able to.
I'm actually a little bit further at

everytime this is posted I'm so tempted but since I own the steam version and am deathly afraid of random internet exe's I always give up. I'd love for the steam version to get the unofficial patch applied but that's clearly a pipedream.
I'm going to try this. Is there anything I need to know going in, like any way to completely fuck up my playthrough?
I have it installed with the patch at least.

Just going to say that if you are interested in playing Malkavian you should just go for it. I did Malkavian my first time through and it was a genuinely amazing experience. Your character is insane and doesn't really know what's going on and neither do you, though eventually you get used to it and can begin to figure out how to 'understand' the insanity in the dialogue choices.
People say it spoils the game but I didn't really feel that was the case at all. The plot still surprised me even with the cool foreshadowing and future sight stuff.
Play whatever clan you want and you will love the game. Don't force yourself to play a way you don't feel is interesting. The beauty of this game is how adaptable it is to player choice and desire.
Plus, since the game is so different on each playthrough doing a limited run through with Malkavian or Nosferatu means on replays you can play a more standard clan and basically get to play a completely different game.

Played a couple hours today. Mainly to get my legs under me. Playing as a Ventrue, pretty sure way back when I played as a Brujah. I love the brand of humor in this.
Aw, damn, Did you die on me? Lmao.
The character models are obviously very dated, but the environment's still kinda got a nice spooky charm to it.
And Commander Shepard's got nothing on this:

Just download it from ModDB, no reason to be afraid, it's literally the same EXE that GOG is patched with. I just reinstalled it without issue.
I played as a Malkavian on my first playthrough and it was fantastic.
:thinking:
FWIW.
Looks amazing for a game that's almost 15 years old. Mod looks somewhat oversaturated, but I think it fits the game.
I'd say you miss a lot of the game, especially some really creepy foreshadowing, if you don't play as a Malkavian. But I can see how it can be overwhelming for people unfamiliar with the tabletop game.
Just reinstalled it. I got around halfway through the game in the past, but fell off of it for unknown reasons. I'm looking forward to it. (Finally, something that makes sense to play on my new MBP.)
