Skelter is actually based as hell though. Dude's a Vietnam vet who hates Damsel since she reminds him of all the protesters back home. Keep in mind that the vast majority of people who were involved in 'Nam were volunteers, not draftees, almost certainly including Skelter.
i like that he shit his pants once his true name is called, everyone goes on defensive when a malk shows up, from jack to even damsel.
got a malkav for a first playthrough :sighduck:

Never done a Malk. Most of my runs have been the absolutely bonkers Toreador Celerity/Auspex builds where you're like Agent Smith on crack.
 
The LaCroix ending has to be hilarious from LaCroix's perspective. Here's this dude you've been constantly trying to get killed on suicide missions. It didn't work. You've finally gotten sick of subtlety and decided to lure him into death by Werewolf. It didn't work. You sick a bloodhunt on him. It didn't work. Then he turns up at your office, you're probably shitting yourself wondering if Cain himself is protecting this little bastard. And he just goes "Wow man, some crazy shit has been going down; someone's framing me for Nine's murder. Don't know who it could be though."

LaCroix must be pissing himself laughing. "I was just lying out of instinct before, I didn't think he'd actually buy it."
 
Malk is like Nosferatu where you get a whole other level of flavor. The aforementioned Skelter, you can also call Velvet her real name of Susan and she straight won't interact with you for a time until you progress the story some. Also with Ming when you somehow know about the Yama Kings.

It's a godly 2nd run because you can catch the meaning behind the nicknames malks gives, but you need a straightforward first run for it. In my case it was celerity Toreador.

Me too.
Celerity is just a excellent starting discipline.
But i got bored pretty fast with the weapons.
Steyr Aug is the best one, yet had shit ammo capacity IMO.
That's why i'm rerunning with Ventrue: Fortitude is my jam, but only Melee with the occasional gun shoot.

I played it first without knowing anything about WoD, so decided to ignore all the vamp powers shit, and had a basic garlic-n-cross vampire (male Toreador first, then female Tremere after my laptop shat itself) sneaking around, slitting throats, feedkilling, and shooting stuff when shit got serious. Completely doable.

The new one being premade protag, 1st person melee + sorcery, with no weapons, or inventory for that matter... Fuck this shit.
 
Everybody says you about not opening the sarcophagus and you did it anyways.
Siding with LaCroix (after he put a blood hunt on you), Ming Xiao (after she explicity says about Kindred being lowborn) or Sabat (after all the shit Andrei blames on you, but only possible with the Unofficial Patch), seems stupid. But there is. As a option.
Shit i can't stand with modern games.
 
Fucking a WoD vampire is, uh, not something I'd ever wish to do.

It's basically fucking like fucking a corpse, cold and lifeless (unless they bother trying to simulate blood flow and body heat).
There's a reason sex (or the most horrendous facsimile thereof) costs a blood point. And why the only vampire willing to actually get dirty is a Malkavian's sex-crazed split personality that was created by a child as a means of coping with getting regularly raped by her/their father.

Seriously, its probably an honest-to-God completely unfixable mental compulsion with her as a result of the childhood sexual trauma considering Therese outright accuses her other half of constantly fucking mortals.

Funny thing is if you side with the Sabbat Andrei actually keeps his word and doesn't screw you over. You've absolutely burned every bridge that doesn't lead to hanging out with the Sabbat but there's no subtlety to that choice.
