Janmanden Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 And having 1GB of RAM or more really helps a lot too. (Signatures: disabled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Tremere my dear. They are much more civilized plus they have those neat blood spells. Bloodlines is a demanding game when it comes to hardware. My ATI 9200 on my other computer ran slow graphic wise, while this computer ATI 9500 runs better and quicker. Oh and make sure you have the patch installed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is something to be said about making people blow up I figure I'll go all out and get a ATI 9800... I figure that'll do the trick ... I may still need more RAM though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janmanden Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I experienced a quite noticeable difference going from 512 to 1024MB...faster load, faster transistion and generally less stutter too. (Signatures: disabled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrielle Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Both computers I mentioned have 512MB. I thinking the slow graphics and load time for me had to do with the graphic card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Bloodlines is very good if you have a computer that can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janmanden Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 In my opinion, Bloodlines totally redeemed Troika to the claim of being the creators of fallout...before that I was really annoyed by that sentence, when looking at games like Arcanum and ToEE.

Gabrielle Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) Bloodlines is very good if you have a computer that can handle it. That said plus there is a lot of replay value since the character clans are well developed. Edited November 24, 2005 by Gabrielle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabrielle Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I'm a vampire snob and tend to stick with the classier clans; Ventrue, Toreador and Tremere. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janmanden Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I'm not a snob, I just take them one at a time and haven't got around to that one yet...but it's a rather slow proces that takes time to dodge the feeling of being fed up.

Atreides Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hay guys, I'm playing through on my first time with a Toreador male. I'm still early in Santa Monica - what stats/feats should I pick that are useful later on? I currently have high beauty/charisma and a little skills in lockpick and hacking. Also I hate how the way I can be running along and out of the blue the game freezes. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) What skills you want all depend on your playstyle. All are useful in their own way. Well, maybe not subterfuge and appearance, but the others are. I might get by without more ram then I think I'm currently at 512 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't advice it. I've heard from multiple sources that performance really improves with 1GB. It's still enjoyable on a sub par computer, my first playthrough was on a laptop with a dated graphics card and 512mb ram and I liked it. But there were horrendous loading times and a lot of graphics lag. On my current setup the game ran much better but since this is a different computer it's hard for me to say what caused the biggest improvement.

Atreides Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Thanks - I was seriously thinking of bumping up appearance and spending like 8 points on my 3rd rank in it. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhruin Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) The very end is pretty combat heavy - just make sure you either have some reasonable combat or stealth skills to get through it by that stage. On 1Gb RAM, don't even hesitate. Given the prices here, I assume you can grab another 512Mb in the US for <$50, which makes it the best value upgrade you can get. It will make a big difference to Bloodlines. Edited November 24, 2005 by Dhruin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hmmm... I guess I will get some more ram then... I was going to get some eventually anyway... but more later than sooner Guess I'll make it sooner now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserk Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I always liked to play a Ventrue, classy, smooth and if words aren't enough open up a can of whopass on whomever didn't listen to your friendly "advice". The last armor for the Ventrue is pretty sweet too, a coat like the one Neo uses in the Matrix, except red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
