The song played in the club is Chiasm - Isolated in case anyone is curios. It fits quite well with the club.

You could turn off the music before going into clubs I guess. A bit annoying but it would avoid the problem. Too bad because some of the music is just awesome (even if you ignored their poster in the apartment :argh: ).

I've played through this game several times but I've never bothered with guns (besides one of the last ones because holy poo poo does it do good damage). Fists just do so much more damage at the beginning and you need unarmed to be able to feed in combat anyway. Later on you get some nice melee weapons to wreck poo poo with too. Of course I really like the celerity power.

You can abuse the combat zone thing to solve a later side quest without taking humanity loss by meta gaming a bit. :v:

I think you can feed on any human you're fighting, but you need to have enough unarmed combat.

What the heck kind of static did you replace the Asylum music with? :stare:

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was an exception for certain named characters. Or it might just be very difficult. :shrug:
The only exception I can think of is a boss fight much later. Other than that every fight against a human I'm very certain I've fed on the opponent in some playthrough.

Yeah, you'll lose out on the payment if you advance the bounty hunt quest line at all after you learn that Muddy has left for Downtown, you're only paid to find out that. The game isn't very clear on it

Fat Larry is amazing too.

Oh, and a tip for when dealing with Patty the babbling ghoul sidequest: visit the hospital basement first for an alternative solution.

She's funny when she's angry and yelling threats against other npcs.

Ah, sorry. My advice was about the hospital basement in Downtown. Forgot to specify I meant the abandoned hospital. :doh: Of course I've no idea how changed that is now, I'm used to Fat Larry hanging behind the truck outside the parking garage.

Confession is the most awesome looking bar in the game yes. Music is ok, I guess.

Poil
Mar 17, 2007

You can metagame and kill the scared guy in the abandoned hospital before you head down since it's a combat zone. Not as interesting but it saves time. :v:

I like Pisha, she's really pragmatic about the whole cannibalism thing. Also the stuff she hints at that you can trade with her are bloody amazing.

rojogames posted:

Cool, we'll start to look into it in the episode I'm about to post. You can also send Patty to Vandal (might be a Plus Patch thing), though since we're already in his good graces via Dominate that option might be closed to us now.
I didn't know that, but that just feels wrong. Much better to just have her killed. Being tied to a chair and drained of blood with that creep lurking around, killing is the merciful option.

She seemed OK to me. I can see why she'd be a problem for vampires, talking openly about them and stuff, but compared with literally any one of the anarchs, she's much less annoying.

You're okay with Patty but not with Damsel? I'm sorry but your opinion is just wrong. :v:

Check the bus stops if you want maps of the area.

Vampires would flee from a flamethrower then? Just makes the weapon even better, especially indoors. Of course in game they happily charge straight into the flames. But even with a terrible shooting skill it's simply amazing. Against one boss in particular.

Poil
Mar 17, 2007

The flame thrower is the best weapon why wouldn't you pick that. But I think you can buy all three weapons later on regardless. At least I've always been able to.

Well it burns through ammo like crazy and it's wasted on most enemies as they are easy enough to slash apart. :v:

Grout is... not very nice. Given his ramblings (and expressed love of insane asylums) it's not hard to guess why the guards are so hosed up with their berserk attacking, manic laughter and just standing around crying. :gonk:

Can you get Malkavian autists? I'm thinking that would be a breeze to roleplay. :v:

I'm pretty sure Mercurio is a gun store who sells more and more guns depending on how far you've progressed through the game. And towards the end he sells the three special weapons: the flamethrower, sniper and combat shotgun. But who knows what the weird patch did.

Maybe it's only if you talk to her before going to Lacroix just after coming back? Or it's later, but that doesn't make much sense.

Also she might have been a vampire.

The green line is the side quest line. The red line is the main quest line. You can easily tell by the sign as soon as you enter the basement. The main quest would never not be the one that's staff only. :v:

You can kill anyone you want in a combat zone with no humanity loss. It's kinda broken as in some cases there are clearly innocent npc's you're murdering. :v:

Ah, of course. How silly of me not to know that. It does make a smashing fashion accessory though. :v:

In preparation for the next video, which I assume is going to involve a trip up the Asp Hole, here are the two songs that play in it. Apologies for the poo poo quality of the first but it is the official video on the record company's channel:

Tiamat - Cain (the relevance to the game is not subtle in the slightest)
Lacuna Coil - Swamped (this is also the song that plays at the credits, and the album cover is a poster up the wall near the bed in the Santa Monica safehouse, close to the the door if memory serves)

The devs have good taste in music.

You've successfully pimped for Romero, your mother would be proud.

Considering you've spent time at the graveyard getting zombie splatter everywhere, took a quick dip in the sewer and hung around in an internet cafe you must smell really terrible at this point. :barf:

Yes, ask the owner about the dancing hunter. Then he sees you walk downstairs and ten minutes later someone finds her murdered. Brilliant. The cops can investigate and call out for your arrest in the time it takes to eat half a donut.

That werewolf is really unsettling for some reason. :gonk:

I've tried to use guns several times but I always end up just slicing things up instead. Partially because the starter guns are so poo poo and by the time you get good ones I'm committed to melee and then there's the whole satisfaction of being able to feed on any human in combat. :v:

I've never finished that quest through the sewers, because running around fighting in sewers just isn't as appealing as simply sacrificing some random guy. Of course it helps that the guy's kind of a douche.

Isaac has some dialog after you get Ash out, I think. It's just not mentioned in the quest log. So no reward. Probably. :drac:

You can get an extra dollar or two if you wait until you get more ranks in finance before selling I think. But it's not like in, say, Gothic 2 where you save all trash and sell it to one specific npc in chapter 2 who then dies in chapter 4 and you can loot everything you sold him and sell it to someone else for twice the profit. :v:

It's pretty neat that you can exit the sewers to go shopping or drinking but I've always just powered through the whole thing in one go. That vault shortcut is definitely a mod thing.

The best part of the whole sewer level is when you're done and discover where the exit is. :v:

Gorgeous Gary Golden is even better when you're Malkavian, but you really do not want that for your first playthrough boss.
