Like sire, like childe. I should have killed you that night. How could someone as low as you injure me? You think you've taken everything away, but I still have my VTMB Thread

regaining humanity via dancing is pretty cool, too bad base game does fuck all with whole thing except you going full Gangrel

Go ahead,
try to Dominate me again.

This line convinced me that LaCroix did not set fire to the park, it was the last straw

>>3802947
possibly jack but, what do you mean last straw?

I like LaCroix more than Jack, who looks like he smells like shit and deflects whenever you call him out on his hypocrisy.

>>3802947
LaCroix accusing you of betraying him when you two are alone in the suicide bomber fight really makes you think.

what do you think the sheriff ended up doing with the remainder of his unlife when you do the lacroix route and open up the coffin with him?

Ventrue are cool. Disciplines for gaining power and wealth and the ability to tank the haters who can't stop seething.

>>3803622
Depends on if he was legitimately loyal to LaCroix or was bloodbound/dominated. If the former, I imagine he'd start killing Anarch shits until he got ashed or backup arrived. If the latter, my bet would be on him leaving. Who actually wants to stay in LA?

>>3803632
Ventrue are my personal favorites. Though I'd argue most of the first seven clans are fairly well designed in which disciplines they possess.

>>3803632
Hell yeah. Max stamina + Max fortitude + Max Presence while wielding the McLusky is the only proper way to play Ventrue.

I least she isn't going to judge me for Cartaginese Larping

I need to finish my Tremere playthrough
Is thaumaturgy good enough on its own for the final bosses or do I need to invest in guns?

Its so funny going to Vesuvius and seeing the strippers do the same dance animations from the nightclubs. They are just on stage next to a pole flailing their arms around. I mean the dance animations were already bad, but seeing VV autistically flail around is cherry on top.

>>3809044
Thaumaturgy is good and can be all you use if you know what you're doing. I still think it's fun to use it while shooting though, unless you're using the patch with casting animations.

>>3803632
It'd be cool if there was anything to do with wealth in this game. You can really only spend it on ammo, and ironically, there's not enough dollars in the game to fund a guns only playthrough. I checked.
I will say though, some of the most fun I've had in the game was dominating thugs and slowly walking towards them like some pansy anime villain then sucking em dry. What's cool is cool

>>3810335
There's special anti-synergy for cash and Ventrue too, which is funny. Since most of the times outside of ammo purchases where you need to spend money can be bypassed or reduced by persuasion, dominate, or presence. All of which Ventrue have.

i really loved Bloodlines but is there a Masquerade game that lets me play as a sinister, morbidly obese vampire like Pearl from Blade or Balthazar from Buffy

>>3810459
Gonna need to play the tabletop for that one. Fat freak could work as a Nosferatu, maybe as a Gangrel animal trait, or you could just be morbidly obese when you got the embrace.

>>3810466
Nosferatu would actually make a lot of sense (and Cryptophilia compulsion is actually pretty accurate for the existing fat vampire characters in pop culture). i've played 5e and pathfinder and may not have the energy to learn a new TTRPG but maybe i'll check out

>>3810447
>special anti-synergy
Yea, it's very discouraging. Same goes for Toreador, where you have to go out of your way to level both seduction and persuasion, and as I remember, you never really use the former outside of clubs, though I haven't had a female run so what do I know.
Having to choose between dominate or a speech check is a huge drag, I agree.

>>3810335
>there's not enough dollars in the game to fund a guns only playthrough. I checked.
There is if you do side quests and only buy a few guns from vendors. At least according to Jack during the tutorial the game doesn't really want you going guns only though.

i distinctly remember being in chinatown having no money at all. the fortune teller guy was bugged.
