I've decide that I'll do a few bonus videos of the alternate endings. They should be up on Friday, so let's table any spoiler discussion related to them specifically until then. Suffice to say the Cammy ending was not what I expected!

Yeah, it's kinda disappointing compared to the other endings. But it's totally in character for Strauss and it's not a bad ending for the main character. Nice astrolite work there though.

He's right, too. It's good to be safe, just on the off chance that there's a blood god from before recorded history in there.

And yeah, that little sideroom in the Ventrue tower is where you come in as a Nosferatu (Chunk will never let you in the front door, declaring LaCroix "Didn't make any appointments with gargoyles". So you always end up going through the sewer entrance and the alternate elevator to see him.) Kind of clever the way they play the Nosferatu route, since a portion of quest people won't even talk to you. So they tend to just give you what you want, like the old woman at the diner during Lily's quest will just faint at the sight of you and drop all the required clues for you to pick up. Also I'm pretty sure it's the only route where Gary doesn't yell about wanting to dip you in acid

The Kuei-jin ending is certainly fitting if you decide to side with them, it's just a bit silly that you could boil the blood of every mook in the room in a heartbeat and then take out Ming Xiao with just a bit more effort, but instead you apparently choose to let them do that to you.

The plus patch added another ending. You can talk your way out of a fight with the sabbat leader and side with him. The graphics are mostly the same as the Kuei Jin ending.

I was a little confused when I saw it - I thought it might have been a bug at the time where Malk dialogue was available for some reason. Added Space posted:The plus patch added another ending.

Probably won't make a video for it since I'd likely have to replay half the game and as you said it's similar to the Kuei-jin ending.

That is the first option I took when I recently beat this as Nosferatu. Saw that down there and was like "What the hell is that...oh. Oh."

I was struggling not to yell "Drink some loving blood!" at the screen during this episode. And the reason not to side with the anarchs is that they're loving idiots and generally aggressive and unpleasant. They're not power-hungry or part of any kind of evil organisation, they're just dickheads. Dickheads who are obviously going to lose.

Now that we've seen the big reveal about what is and isn't inside the Sarcophagus, I can make this observation: It's interesting to note that of all the options you can pick for your endgame, every option that allows you to bypass one set of enemies and a boss fight is one that leads to a You're Screwed ending...

The Anarchs are aggressive towards the main character because you're Lacroix's errand girl/boy and they absolutely hate Lacroix. If you're nice towards them you can tell Damsel you want to join up and she lets you (and is actually slightly more civil towards you, believe it or not).Stroth posted:Post your theories!

The endings for this game really annoy me. There's some stuff that doesn't make much sense. Like, if the sarcophagus is just full of explosives, why does Becket show up looking so scared and tell you to get away from it? And in the Camarilla ending, they know it's already been opened on the ship, so why are they so worried about it? That's also an issue for Lacroix, but it's more plausible that one megalomaniac would convince himself that it apparently being opened before either didn't happen or wasn't important. And the explosives themselves being on a timer makes no sense. How the hell do you arrange that so the sarcophagus gets opened up at the right time? Or even that Lacroix would have it when it exploded? Or was Jack's plan just to blow up anyone and he didn't care who, and the timing was coincidental? And it really annoys me that the Camarilla ending contradicts the Lacroix and Anarch endings by having it not explode. Either Jack put explosives in it or he didn't, you can't have it both ways.

Presumably Jack gave Becket a forceful warning. The timer was rigged to a trigger that was set off by opening the box, allowing anyone opening the box a few seconds to realize how screwed they were. Yeah, opening the box was a bonus, Jack was just happy with how much it stirred poo poo by existing. If you open the box, his ending scene had a weak 'shame about the kid' line.

My guess would be: 1. Jack meets the cab driver (Caine?), is told about the sarcophagus and together they hatch a plan to get rid of Lacroix and have some fun. 2. Jack places the map at the archeologists apartment. 3. The sarcophagus is excavated and begins the journey to LA. 4. The key is stolen, presumably by Jack. 5. Jack sneaks aboard the ship, kills everyone and makes it looks like it was something from inside the sarcophagus 6. Jack rigs the explosives and takes the old corpse with him. 7. The key ends up in Kuei Jin hands, possibly stealthily delivered by Jack. 8. Jack and/or Caine sets up, or helps to set up, the start of the game. 9. Jack or Caine gives Becket a hint to avoid being around the box so he doesn't die. 10. Boom.

Becket having one of the Cabbie's mysterious "I certainly know way more poo poo about Caine than you'd think, don't I?" conversations is a funny way to imagine him getting spooked

Becket was quite chummy with the higher ups (God) during the final days, so having a talk with Caine wouldn't be to far out.
