GhostofAnakin Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I never had problems with crashes. Mine were all performance related (ie. slow as crap and choppy). I guess I'll have to wait until I get a top of the line computer to run a game whose specs say otherwise.

Slowtrain Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Gangrel aren't nearly as powerful as they would appear to be with their combination of fortitude and protean, although if you max them both out and max your unarmed skill they are pretty touch and can take damage. Mostly as you point out their hand to hand attacks are so slow, and if you are going to play Gangrel you are almost locked into unarmed since why bother with a gangrel if you're not going to rip things apart with your claws. Far and away the best unarmed clan is Brujah, followed by Nosferatu, Toreador, Ventrue, Gangrel. SOme disciplines are just a wee bit unbalanced for the game (hello, celerity!).

Spider Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 They're just being faithful to the source material. Celerity is quite unbalanced in PnP as well (epsecially before revised edition was released). I have no idea how it's like in Requiem though (which is not the same as revised).

I have a high end system that is above specs and it's still slow.
Spider Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I actually had pretty good loading times (on this computer). All I can say is that I love my Raptor. Although when on a computer that had problems with loading times, it was Downtown and not Santa Monica that was the biggest problem.
Gabrielle Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Downtown and Santa Monica were major issues with me. And sometimes my computer would do a hard crash as it was loading.
Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Except for some minor graphical bugs, like blood on the alls blinking off and on, I had no problems at all playing this game.

I have that problem on my other computer and I would take the guess it's the video card. The card is a ATI 9200. This computer has an ATI 9500 and it doesn't do it. Might be your card not being able to handle it.

I have a 6600GT video with dual channel 1gig ram and a amd64 3000+; bloodlines played smooth with fairly quick load times. This is with highest eye candy on.

Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I have a X700 Pro 256mb and 1 gig of RAM with a AMD Semphron. Only set blood splatterings were any problem.

Musopticon? Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Nah, not much. You have a gig of ram(well, almost). Should work ok. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

I have a high end system that is above specs and it's still slow. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Load times got to the point I almost gave up playing since it was taking, literally, minutes for each area to load. Then it was so choppy that if there was an enemy there after the area loaded, I'd be pounded with about 4 or 5 shots before I even had control over my character.

WinterSun Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Excellent. What's a good class to start with? master of my domain Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.
Musopticon? Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Easiest is Brujah, but only if you're going for a melee build. I recommend starting as a Ventrue(great speaker, ok melee) and then play as malkavian, cos it's fun as hell. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Judge Hades Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Malkavian is the most fun, though I finished the game with a Toreador. Celerity rules! To bad you can't make a custom vampire. I would love to have combination of Potence, Celerity, and Obsfscate (msp?).
Slowtrain Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 To bad you can't make a custom vampire. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I always wished that as well, but it would ruin the point of having clans in the first place since they are mostly defined by their discplines. Besides, obfuscate, potence, and celerity would be a little ummm unbalanced, don't you think. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

Guest MacLeodCorp Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Bloodlines. Love the game. It has a great story, quests are good, character creation and leveling up is some of the best there is. The sound track and music are grade A excellence. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I opened up the directory to find out that there is a folder called Licensed. They placed all the sound track files in .mp3 format. I am curently playing them over and over.... This game has to have one of the best soundtracks. Not 'the' best, but one of the best. Irony, some of the people who made this game now work for Obsidian Ent. 'M' for Mature..... Hehehe.... Edited January 20, 2006 by MacLeodCorp
alanschu Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Meh, IIRC Domination is pretty powerful too. They were all quite powerful.
