how is that a question

I'm Ventrue

Toreador my dude. Talk smooth, snap necks, go sanic mode when its fightan tiem

I'm not a VtM fan because it all has that 90s schlock look. You know what I mean.

I'd be the clan that didn't suck the dick of an aristocrat.

Tremere is the patrician choice.

the penguins of doom are the best

Gangrel unless you're a pussy

>not loving 90s schlock

Let's face it, it was the last time America was allowed to have fun

based

Ventrue for style, Toreador for breaking the game ... so usually Ventrue

Tremere for blood magic shenanigans

it lasted at least till 06.

My fellow kindred

We are all getting fucked at Gehenna.

are Gangrel all warrior tough guy types?

Well everyone does, so not really a problem.

Think Wolverine

>gangrel

i thought beckett was a werewolf

Not your shitty faggot clan that's for sure

No, he's gangrel. A special kind since their intelligent stat can't get very high

You met a werewolf in the fucking game. A completely different beast

Tzimisce is the best, but realistically I would be embraced by the Nosferatu.

werewolves aren't in the habit of introducing themselves

Can't believe it but I'm stuck in the hospital trying to get the vial of werewolf blood. I can get inside the room the safe is in but there's no way to unlock the safe even with bloodbuff...

No, there are also isolationists, drifters, hippies etc.

what makes you think that? I'd probably be embraced by a Malk myself

Fishmalk.

could you give me some visual examples?

Lasombra

Not necessarily. But they're mostly all outdoorsy, mobile types. You could have a paranoid Gangrel survivalist who lives innawoods and keeps stocking up his shelter, a park ranger with a genuine respect for the environment who just tends to get REAL FUCKING MAD at people who disturb it, a small-town sheriff in a town with very very few repeat criminals, a lumberjack, a gold miner, a trucker who has makes people mysteriously disappear along his route...

could you tell me about the Tuna again

>no Malkavian
Scrubs

what about the females?

imo i think you'd had to build an entire game around a malkavian player to do it right.

do you have to be a cartoon character to get turned into a vampie?

Aren't they suppose to be loners and view things in a hunter/prey way?

No, you can't be Lasombra

BROTHERS!

I thought Nosferatu usually went for very vain people, like that female one in the sewers who wants you to ruin a actresses career or something.

>view things in a hunter/prey way
literally every vampire

they also go for the lowest dregs of society because it would be a step up for them

Fair enough.

It's almost like writing a character starts with taking an archetype and then adding nuance and twists afterwards to make them unique

Just use your imagination, man. A teenage waif on the run who goes from town to town, leaving just before people start to get suspicious from all the weird neck injuries that start to turn up. An aging hippie chick turned violent eco-terrorist who slowly realizes she's more in it for the violence than for the environment. That weird old widow who lives in a cottage in the woods and who people say can speak to wolves.

I wanna see pics, man. Pics are cool.

Malkavian Antitribu, as long as whatever mental illness I get doesn't completely shut me down, spreading it around like herpes is going to be fun.

GREAT GATHER SOON FELLOW GANGREL

You don't hear about regular boring people getting turned into vampires.

Thats how they stay hidden

>Los Angeles gets hit by a plague of histrionic personality disorder
>Nobody notices

Ventrue have it far worse in the book rules, though. They can feed only on specific type of people and don't use the whole high or low class blood.

>mfw only gain nourishment from virgin women in their 40s

I'm dying for a drop of blood

Man, I love playing a vampire with restrictions like that. Last time I played Vampire tabletop, I came out of character creation with a Humanity score of fucking 10. I was a saint

How did you feed?

you were a cuck

my wife's boyfriend served up most of my hot meals

>Jeanette: I can tell you and I are going to get along just like fire hoses.
>Fledgling: Fire hoses?
>Jeanette: When we get turned on, there's bound to be flames.
Muh fucking dick

>make your own cookie cutter vampire: the game the sequel

everyone adoring Bloodlines (inferior) makes me wonder why Redemption goes underappreciated (superior)

as long as you don't actually roll randomly on what your blood type is you're fine because it's ultimately up to the player to choose something that fits the character narrative he's going for. it still should still be a clan WEAKNESS, though. tremere are notoriously without one, even with lower capped physical stats, unless you're running a tremere-centric story where shit like pyramid hierarchy and such matters.

I could only feed on criminals. I wasn't venture, so I got a choice in what my restriction was

They're totally different games. Also, such a shame Redemption's MP scene and modding never really took off. It was NWN1-lite and lack of easy toolset really hurt it.

One is a roleplaying game, the other one is a game about some dude and vampires.
By rule of thumb the first one is superior.

How did you define "criminals"? Anyone who'd broken a law, or just the serious stuff(murder, rape etc)?

Nobody notices me irl. It's like low level obfuscate, nosies would love that.

Yeah, Cleopatras are one Nosferatu stereotype. But they also go for losers, neets and such - the hacker guy certainly wasn't a looker in his mortal life.

The latter. Or anyone who shot at me with automatic firearms. My character was fairly confident anyone who did probably acquired those guns illegally

Malks have obfuscate too, don't they?

Problem with Masquerade's Humanity system is that it's just a morality rating tied into sins. Requiem's take is much more neutral and its own thing.

...

You're right. Maybe I could be an attractive prey to the Malk, if autism counts as a disorder/derangement.

>tfw still mad CCP abandoned that WoD mmo

was the menu song supposed to be based on angel by massive attack?

>you will never become a creature of the night
>you will never hear Papa Cain tell you stories of forgotten times
>you will never use 1 blood point to get an erection just to bone a thrall
>you will never sit infront of a computer until Gehena comes only getting up from it when you need blood or your PC needs an upgrade
Why live?

Yep

What quests did you guys fail?

I completely fucked up a bunch of them.

Malkavian is the only correct choice unless you stop doing that

Same with severe psychosis in San Francisco.

alright
is the album good? also what albums give methe same mood as the menu song

>is the album good?
If you're talking about Mezzanine, then yes it's very good. As for same mood, absolutely nothing except the other tracks of the game score. It's a unique feel no?

Mezzanine? It's excellent. Considered a classic for a reason.

alright, I'll check it out, I wish there were more urban fantasy vidya

If you have a crippling fear of social situations already, good chance you go Malkavian or Nosferatu. You veer towards Nosferatu if you rarely shower and stink to high heavens, you veer towards Malk if you shower way too often.

Most atmospheric theme coming through.

Also, am I the only one who raged at VV? That whole "girl in distress" doesn't fucking fly when you're in the WoD and on top of that it's being told by a fucking Toreador.

I wish there was more contemporary settings in RPGs in general. I can only think of VTMB and Alpha Protocol. Are there any others?

I think that was kinda the point of her character. Susan was acting like that to emotionally manipulate you into doing her dirty work. She's a Toreador, so emotional manipulation is her forte.

fpbp

I'd even be a fishmalk, seeing the future trough fever dreams you can't consciously explain is badass. Not to mention turning invisible and seeing trough walls and shit.

I just unlocked clan Chocula, I think so far they are the best.

Redemption had some ok tracks too.

Shadowrun? Stretching a definition of contemporary a bit here

You guys should watch What we do in the Shadows

>Shadowrun
Not only did you stretch it too far, you ruptured it. Shadowrun is everything BUT contemporary.

Already did and loved it. It's almost like a VtM campaign, if you ignore clans that is.

Secret World. If only they made it a single player game instead of a shitty MMO

and when you finish with that, all of you should watch the Flight of the Conchords sitcom.

everything about that movie was awesome

I see we have a man of taste in this wasteland of insanity.

tonight I'm going to suucck

Any other games come close to VTMBs in terms of a convoluted plot and sociopath characters that have 0 issues with taking advantage of others? Only game I can think of is Alpha Protocol.

>>no Malkavian
literally the first

Are gangriels really retarted?

I like Gangrel
