Is there anything worthwhile happening in the Giovanni mansion first floor besides the meeting and the way down to the crypts? There's a bunch of rooms, some hidden passageways and a pool, but there seems to be nothing in any of them. Are they just there for sneaky characters?

From my understanding, supposedly they had planned for the Giovanni to show up earlier in the plot originally and had planned around you going back to the mansion for optional missions, but they ended up scrapping it while it was still in planning.

If CQM was still in production, they could add some stuff in with it, I guess, but yeah... pipe dreams. :allears:

Playing CQM. I got a quest from Mitnick involving a library card. I checked the room in the Empire Arms where it is in vanilla but in the place it should be there's a pull toy instead. Is this a bug or part of CQM?

DUMB AS SHIT
I bought this game for my boyfriend for his birthday and I just installed the Clan Quest Mod for him, mainly to fix an error the prevented the game from running at all. Just a heads up the instructions for installing the mod in the opening post are wrong. It says to install it to the /vampire sub folder but that doesn't seem to be true anymore. I tried it and it didn't work and I had to re-install the game to install the mod in the main game folder for it to work.

I just reinstalled this for another run-through and installed the CQM and some associated mods. Included were music mods. All seemed well until I got to the Santa Monica safehouse and Deb of Night was replaced with lovely dance music. :catstare:

Yeah, thanks for reminding me... I had figured out a way to use all that stuff while restoring the Deb stuff, I'll add that in when I fix the OP this weekend.

Just reinstalled this and decided to try and see what this whole modding thing was about, and I think I messed up.

Tried to download the 1.2 patch, but it said it couldn't verify my version of the game and to make sure it had installed correctly, so I tried to just start up the base game to see if I had. Got the 15 MB memory error and google gave me a guide to fix that which had me download the unofficial patch. After I downloaded that the game worked, so I installed the clan quest mod, but I'm not sure it installed correctly. Any way to tell? Did not installing the 1.2 patch gently caress me?

Depending on your version/installation source it might already HAVE the 1.2 patch.

I want to replay this game. I've replayed it with several mods a few times. I want to replay the game as a few classes I've never played before and I want to know what is the general definitive collection of mods to play this game on.
I only ask because the last time I played the scene was still very much alive. It was for quite some time.


Also the best class is malk. Hands down, used one on my first playthrough and funnily enough understood everything said. Deep down I identify with this version of vampire the most... yes if I could I'd be a vampire, how is it not loving awesome.

There's Wesp's latest fan patch that fixes almost all of the bugs and restores a bunch of cut content, the Clan Quest mod which adds quests for each clan (and a few universal quests), the Final Nights mod which replaces all of the original clans with new clans like the Setites and the Baali and rebalances the gameplay, and the Antitribu mod, which is still a work-in-progress but looks like it's shaping up to work the same as the Final Nights mod.

Thanks so much. The first two can be used together right?

As for the second two.. I really don't want to change up the core game that much. The current number of clans and their dispositions is the perfect balance. Not to mention the general atmosphere of the game is what draws me the most. The combat is somewhat meh but the roleplaying in this game is what makes it special. The game does a good job of making you feel like that now your character is a vampire, they're apart of a completely new society that has been working in sync with human society for so long they're parallel, almost dependent to each other. Except one is almost completely unaware of the other.

No, use either just the UP or just the CQM. The CQM is built upon the UP, albeit an outdated version but honestly there haven't been any significant updates to the patch for a while now.

I typically use whatever the latest version of the UP is, although I have used the CQM before. Try both, the game certainly has the replay value.

My last few playthroughs have been CQM, and I haven't noticed any glitches really, as it seems UP hasn't really needed to fix bugs lately, and is more focused on "moved Larry 5 feet down the alley".

The biggest additions Wesp's patch offers over CQM are a restored library level and a restored area for a late game dungeon. If you're not interested in those, stick with CQM.

is the library level any good? It has to have some seriously sparse content since it was scrapped

Eh. It looks nice, but it's fairly short and you only get 1 or 2 XP out of it if I'm remembering right. There's a pretty annoying boss at the end if you're into that kind of thing!

In no loving way shape or form save aesthetics.

What's the restored dungeon bit? I don't remember it on my recent two playthroughs.

The restored dungeon is an atrium for the Hallowbrook Hotel when you're supposed to gently caress up the Sabbat. It becomes the beginning of the level. It's about as fun as the rest of the level, which is to say not at all.

I don't even remember it actually. It blended in with the rest of it as one big ol' lovely blur.

At the very least, the bad guys in the original Sabbath lair reacted when you were shooting them to pieces.

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
If you go back and play Half-Life 2, there's a scene toward the end, after everything's gone completely to hell and the Combine are fighting the rebels in the street, where you have to go shut down an alien cannon that's being used by the Combine to shell the rebels. I'm about 90% sure that the Thaumaturge in the Hotel was an excuse to reuse that set of scripts or whatever.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Dark Knight

So I'm replaying after a super long time. I've installed and def saw a note in character creation that said I was running version 9.x. I just got to downtown and so far I've noticed no new/extra content outside of histories. I didn't see anything new in Santa Monica. When does the restored content come into play?

Also when NPCs are walking around in the distance they have super janky animations. Is that normal?

Witty phrases on random basis
From Plus patch there's the not-katana from Knox's little job, library at Downtown was just completed over at the LP, couple extra blood powers and at some point supposedly fourth discipline for you to learn. Sabbat base at lategame also has new intro area and their ending may be available in Wesp's patch. Those are the major ones I can remember so far.

Janky animations I'd chalk to Source beta.
