Musopticon? Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I found the infamous sewers very atmospheric. And about the Cradle, I think it's debatable whether it's scarier than Oceanside. Much of Cradle's scariness comes from the fact that you're a lithe burglar against an undead sentient building, and the aural scene really makes the atmoshphere(Eric Brosius FTFW). In Oceanside it's the complete opposite. It relies on visual creepiness and in-your-face stuff that really can't hurt, not to mention the player's character is a vampire. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
CoM_Solaufein Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Those things were pretty creepy that's for sure. I'm about to sit down and play for a bit, but I'm still a ways away from them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Those things were freaky. If they were in a horror movie it would make me sick.

Musopticon? Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 It even had proper rats! kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

alanschu Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Well, I just investigated the Elizabeth Dane. Lacroix wants me to check out the mansion now, which I believe is my first encounter with "those" things. Maybe not.....I can't really remember to be honest. I thought I had to go to Hollywood first for that. I'm a Malkavian Female, and it was fun "seducing" the dude for the Astrolite. And their responses are totally off the wall. I was able to get the warehouse without being detected (thank you obsfuscate), as well as the dane (again, thanks obfuscate). I was being a jerk to Lacroix at one point, and it was funny when he used Domination on me. Though I haven't received the skyline apartment....maybe because I was too big of a jerk?
Atreides Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 It even had proper rats! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That you could suck on! Spreading beauty with my katana.
Gorth Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 ....maybe because I was too big of a jerk? Yes. One slip of the tongue and you are stuck in Santa Monica Not like being a nosferatu. Nice real sewers as your home home “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
alanschu Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Meh. I guess I'll chill at my Santa Monica pad! It was more homey anyways.
Atreides Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 No wonder the Nosferatu are rejected by society. They look and smell like poo. Spreading beauty with my katana.
alanschu Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Still have to do a Nosferatu playthrough. I'll flip a coin to see if I do that or Brujah on my next time through.

Too bad you were insulting to Lacroix, now you won't get that nice Skyline apartment.
Child of Flame Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Actually if he goes through the Museum without killing anyone he should still get it. He just doesn't get it directly after the Dane.
SteveThaiBinh Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Actually if he goes through the Museum without killing anyone he should still get it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You know, I've never managed to do that. It was the sensor beams going up and down that always got me. LaCroix never seemed too bothered about it, though. There's nothing to stop you breaking into your Skyline apartment (floor 4, wasn't it?). Heather and your emails won't go there, but otherwise you can walk around and pretend it was yours.

Surreptishus Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 if you noclip to the tremere apt without actually getting it, heather turns up and all emails are present there.

Fear keypads and magnetic seals!
SteveThaiBinh Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I didn't realise your hatch was locked until you were given the apartment. Still, no problem. You can just wait for one of your neighbours to die and pretend his apartment is yours. I mean, does anyone in this building make it to the end of the game?

alanschu Posted January 14, 2006 Author Posted January 14, 2006 I think most of them are dead already! The horror documentary guy still lives, but I suspect not for long :D
Volourn Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) Bloodlines is cool; but you guys all seems to be wussies. I love the Headrunners. They wer ecute, and the horror move side quest is one of the best side quests I've seen in a game. Good stuff.

SteveThaiBinh Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Version 2.0 of the unofficial patch is out. GameBanShee has a list of the things it fixes and a link for download. Some people said that the last unofficial patch was buggy just after release, though. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Slowtrain Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 You know, I've never managed to do that. It was the sensor beams going up and down that always got me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> punch the box then crouch. Its not even slightly hard. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
