Gabrielle Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Oh, I wasn't talking about physical powers... I hear they get a vamp power that makes people go all explody :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Blood boil. It's cool. They raise up in the air and explode in bloody bits. Coolness.

Gabrielle Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 No limb loss, the blood looks poor but the stealth kill is fun especially the little sound that is played. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That it is. I do stealth kills with it as much as I can, mostly in Grouts Mansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 For some Malkavian entertainment... try Bedlam in the middle of the streets of Hollywood.

Rhomal Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The katana is very quick and powerful.

Rhomal Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 yes the blood magic but that is only when its maxed out. I've also heard its not so great against enemies towards the latter part of the game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Acually that how I took down the sheriff. Blood strike (while I have blood shield) and a couple elder blood packs later... poof... Its very effective.

Slowtrain Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Using the console to get the katana early seems a bit to defeat the purpose of a crpg. Much like making a beeline to get the APA in Fallout2. Pretty weird way of enjoying a game. 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.

With that said, after you have played though it 2 or 3 times normally sometimes you just want to have fun. Hence what I did.

alanschu Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) I think I preferred the Dominance skill over the Dementation skill in combat. But Dementation was great in dialogue. Edited January 23, 2006 by alanschu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surreptishus Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Nope, disciplines dont affect dialogues. Kinda pointless since ther are three different manipulative convo skills already available - Intimidation Persuasion and Seduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 It's probably not using the discipline itself, but Ventrue can use Domination in dialogue, and Malkavians can use Dementation. Kinda pointless since ther are three different manipulative convo skills already available - Intimidation Persuasion and Seduction. Unless you don't have the enough points in them. I find that they tend to be much more reliable too, as just because you see that Intimidation Dialogue option, doesn't mean it is going to work. Plus the Dementation one in particular is very amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 The axe is slow, powerful but slow. I prefer the bush hook. The katana is very quick and powerful. The thing is you dont begin to get these weapons till around a third of teh way through the game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are there even different weapon speeds? I timed the Katana and the Bush Hook and they were identical. Never liked the axe though, so I didn't time that one (it's so... crude) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
