How good is sneak? Is it as good as obfuscate if you invest into it?

Which family member did you help earn favor?

Attached: giovani.png (666x447, 690K)

Obfuscate is brokenly good. Sneak is mediocre even at high levels in my experience, but if you have nothing else to put points into, go for it.

In the Plus version it used to be almost as good as Obfuscate (can't hide close to decent light source and right in front of someone) at 5+5.

Only 60% to affect regular supernaturals (rank and file Kindred, for example) so not very.

Clan Quest Mod or Cammy Edition? I've done Final Nights back when it first came out and didn't like the changes unless it's been tweaked a lot since then.

My save with CQM had weird bugs I've never seen in the game before that kept making me use the console or reload (like a prostitute burning to death like a vampire on quickload and me losing humanity for no reason that then carried over to EVERY save I had)

That's impossible. It's literally a required main quest that you can't miss.

They don't enjoy it physically, as in it doesn't give you physical pleasure, but they can psychologically.

you only got to first base

>>vampires don't enjoy sex
Why are you waifufags incapable of understanding what you read? THEY DON'T ENJOY SEX AS MUCH AS FEEDING. EVERYTHING PALES IN COMPARISON TO FEEDING. THEY ARE FUCKING ADDICTS SO NOTHING ELSE IS GOOD ENOUGH ANYMORE.

This, I don't know how you guys got that idea that vampires don't enjoy sex, they still do it (mostly the Brujah and Toreador) but it's not as fun as feeding, it's also heavily tied to your humanity so a neonate with 9 points in humanity will enjoy it and do it more compared to an elder with 3 points in humanity

I figured it out on my own. Am I smart?

I like the music.

Why did they do the RTX comparisons like that? Side-by-side pictures would've been more useful.

I have a feeling the only thing it will retain from the first game is the jank ass combat. Seems like the good writing and voice acting have gone out the window.

Really? even after seeing the gamescom gameplay?

Combat looks worse in 2

What clan would you dudes recommend for a new player?

Attached: 1551016876532.png (300x250, 51K)

anything but nosferatu/malkavian

Read their descriptions and pick for yourself. Or do the in-game quiz. They're all fine for a new player so it just depends on what you want to play as.

Ignore anyone saying don't play Malk or Nos first.

How were the facial animations in this game so good? They're literally the best I've seen in any game, even today.

Attached: 1554488199256.jpg (522x630, 80K)

Is there any footage yet?

Loads of people have played them first and were happy with them. Stop repeating this shit. I played Malk first and it was great, even better than doing it on another playthrough, so I'm glad I didn't listen to this advice.

Actually talented people, it's that easy.

youtube.com/watch?v=y1G1Lddqaj4

how many subtitles can have a game have

I don't think so. Apparently it was at E3 but only given a closed viewing to a small group.

First, IGNORE THIS FUCKING FAGGOT: PLAY WHICHEVER YOU WANT.

Second, PLAY WHICHEVER YOU WANT. Seriously, just play whichever you want.

Just make sure you pick 1 combat type (Unarmed, Melee, or Firearms) and stick with it. Trying to divide your experience points between different combat types is a huge mistake because you don't get all that many experience points to begin with.

Honestly, Cara Ellison seems fine. She really gets the lore and doesn't seem like she wants to rape WoD with SJW stuff.

I did the quiz for my first run.

>Seems like the good writing and voice acting have gone out the window.
We've seen one preview of a janky combat quest. I don't know why people are trying to write off the entire game's script based on that alone.

One of the problems with animating games today is the obsession with hyper-realistic graphics as opposed to more stylized visuals and character design.

Facial animations are a lot more fun if you allow yourself to take a few steps away from photorealism. But everyone wants to look like a live-action movie these days regardless of whether they have the time and budget for it.

Attached: vtmb_animation.webm (1920x1080, 2.86M)

it's the Source engine which still holds up for facial animations today

A lot of it is clearly that they just hired a talented animator who understood how to convey emotion. Regardless of the engine used, those animations don't make themselves. Someone needed to craft that shit and they did an incredible job.

Yeah, I think one of the VtMB devs said they purposely exaggerate expressions because it's just more enjoyable. But with more modern games just doing face scanning and mocap, you won't get that.

anyone played the antitribu route in clan quest mod and is it worth a go

I'm curious about Coteries of New York, but I find it odd how mum they are about even saying what genre of game it is this close to release.

I assume it's a branching VN of sorts based on what little info there is.

What name did you use for your character?

Rob Leyak

1st playthrough as Ventrue male was Giovanni (which made infiltrating Giovanni manor very confusing). I sucked La Croix's dick and got a suite for it, then opened the sarcophagus for myself.
2nd playthrough as Malkavian female was Titania. I took the wild out of wildcard by cosying up to the Anarchs for 4/5ths of the game, then working with Strauss at the end anyways.
Currently playing through as a male Nosferatu called Munchkin (because I used the character select glitch to give me maximum stats in everything, I just want to see the Nossy-specific stuff). Probably gonna work with the evil chinks this time.

One detail I'll kind of miss is just how pale a lot of the vamps in the first game were.

It makes sense that most would look normal to simply blend into society better, but I liked how grey and statuesque characters like Lacroix and Velvet stood out against their environments.

How do malkavians play out combat wise?

That's one of the earlier metaplot characters. One of the first Anarchs. Patricia's history goes back to a peasant rebellion in England where she took up the name of her deceased lover Wat Tyler. The fact most of the other first Anarchs become the dark Sabbat depresses her greatly.

The Giovanni get the stereotype of incest.
And it's true. To an extent. They know the dangers it brings and have several other families brought into the fold. So not all of them are Italian.

My favorite of these "minor families" is the Pisanob. who manage Mexico for the Giovanni. Their leader is an ancient Aztec who was embraced during the early days of colonization.
Other families include the Scottish bankers/cannibals the Dunsirn, the Della Passaglia who managed the old Asian trade routes and most recently the Milliners based in Boston who were behind JFK's assassination and the general misfortune of the Kennedy family over a grudge.

Through these families the Giovanni are the only vampire "clan" worthy of being called a Clan. A connected family of families.

It's a shame the Primogen council got barely one scene in Bloodlines because they are an interesting factor of Camarilla politics. Their influence can vary from city to city. Some princes are subservient to their council, others fill them with yes-men, other cities still have no prince only the council.
The actual composition of the Primogen whether it be a representative from each clan or the eldest vampires or whatever also varies.

Attached: primogen council.png (820x553, 709K)

Disgusting.

Montano was the first childe of the Lasombra Antediluvian, hailing from a long-forgotten West African tribe. He's also the first Lasombra Antitribu. That is to say he is the first Lasombra to have joined the Camarilla and go against the rest of the clan. He did so as soon as the Sababt and Camarilla were formed never forgiving the other Lasombra for turning against their Antediluvian founder. He is one of the oldest active vampires.

Honestly would it matter? Could literally wake up and repeirce herself whenever. Tzimisce do worse for funsies.

I never got to see the primogen council, even though I beat the game ;~;

Modius is the prince of Gary, Indiana. A city just outside of Chicago and one of the most depressing cities in America.
Despite being prince of such an inconsequential place he puts on incredibly vain airs (fitting a toreador) coming up with schemes to revitalize the city and bring back its long-since fled Vampire population. Hampering his efforts is Juggler, an Anarch engaged in a centuries long, petty and pointless "war" against Modius.

Modius, Juggler and the city of Gary all featured in the very first Vampire: The Masquerade adventure ever written. Forged in Steel.

Carolina Valez has a strange political history in the Sabbat. A Lasombra embraced as part of the first of many failed attempts to take over Los Angeles she ended up gaining much attention as a successful secret agent among Anarchs. But after a failed siege her entire pack relocated to the Sabbat stronghold of Montreal. When Montreal's Archbishop was found guilty of Infernalism (devil-worship) Valez was unexpectedly appointed Archbishop of the city by Canada's Sabbat Cardinal Strathcona. Her position was temporary until a new Archbishop was agreed upon whereby she was defeated in an honor duel as Sabbat custom
Valez has a secret though.
She maintains watch over her mortal grand-daughter Josefina secretly keeping her safe and comfortable. If any other Sabbat knew this she'd be immediately seen as having mortal weakness and likely executed.

They appear in a cutscene upon returning from the Elizabeth Dane I think. It's only for about 5 seconds as you walk in to lacroix's office. Except for Gary Golden and Maximillian Strauss they use generic models.

Tell me how to get into the tabletop

Not 5e though

Either revised edition corebook or 20th anniversary corebook.
Read clanbooks of those clans you take a liking to.

i'm afraid you're mistaken

this is a marketing thread for bloodlines 2 to which your images have no relevance (:

Attached: 1562943896683.jpg (1536x2048, 403K)

get v20 and read it, then invite your friends to play

whats wrong with 5e? I don't play the tabletop at all, is it like what VTMB 2 is shaping up to be?

vtmb2 is based on 5e, so yes. they were developed at the same time

just who excatly is making the game, did they not play the first game or did they completely miss the point

hardsuit labs
see

Personally the biggest flaw for me is that it is way too restrictive.
Revised edition had all 13 clans. V5 had only the Camarilla 7 + thin bloods. The Sabbat are reduced to being barely a faction. The Independant Clans are all gone or joined the Camarilla/Anarchs. Elders are no longer active. Another inquisition means all vampires need to be in cosntant hiding mode. All the new technology which marks this age should be exciting to mesh with Vampire but instead technology in 5th is all against Vampire (Camarilla doesnt allow cell phones because of the Inquisition)
It takes away instead of adding.

This is 5e:

I don't see any "alchemy" in the thin-bloods for this game user. I don't think you've got this right.

Didn't they remove also dementation from malkavians and make tremere just have blood magic? I heard thaumaturgy had bunch of stuff like dream magic and shit

ok retard

you're wrong though

cringe

good rebuttal, you're really fitting in now (:

yes and removed a bunch of other unique disciplines (Giovanni necromancy and Lasombra Obtenebration are the same thing now for some fucking reason)

The only thing they added was Thin-blood Alchemy. Which, no fucking joke, has explicit rules on a ritual for changing gender.
No more unique disciplines but a ritual for changing gender. That's V5 in a nutshell

Are Malks still a clan or a Ventrue bloodline?

Still a clan but Dementation is one ability under the Dominate discipline.

Who edited Rudi boy over there?

rudi is real and in the game. did you not know this?

Rudi is real. he's an actual character written in V5 but he's not in Bloodlines 2.

>rudi is real and in the game.

I didn't know VtMB2 is a tabletop campaign.

you didn't know it's based on the tabletop campaign that rudi is in? idk what to tell you bro

>he's not in Bloodlines 2
proof? as good a chance as any that he is, nigger

I started playing this and I'm in love. Nosferatu seemed so worthless and unappealing when I was creating my character, but now I can't wait to play as one on my second run.

Rudi is based in Berlin, Germany. The game takes place in Seattle.
It's unlikely any metaplot characters other then maybe Beckett show up.
Bloodlines 1 took place in L.A. which already had a book full of VTM characters but the writers made their own for the city.

rudi is based in copenhagen denmark you stupid faggot get it right

and there's absolutely no argument against the likelihood of him appearing given his prominence in the source material. lol

We already knew this day 0, that they’ll never be able to recreate the magic that Troika did.

1 loresheet is not prominence. Might as well say Carmelita Neillson will also appear because she has a lore-sheet and a couple mentions. Though you wont because it doesnt rile people up.

You can’t do shit about the development of the game. Even if you seethe so hard you blow a nerve it’s not going to change. There’s still about less than a year’s worth of dev time, so what we saw may change but this is what you’re getting.

Because Suicide and even Mass Suicide aren't guaranteed to kill even basic supernaturals and just plain fail with zero effect against "special" supernaturals. Boil affects more enemy types and at least damages those it doesn't outright chunk.

No idea. If you invest in Thaumaturgy you normally don't care because you can tank and chunk anything south of bosses. Logic says it should alert NPCs because it's an explosion normally.

For Jalan might also be Karsh. The Camarilla Warlord who is also noted to be one of the greatest vampire fighters in the world. His physical stats are literally listed as simply "Karsh swings his sword and enemies fall". Outside of that he has the exact same stats as Jalan Aajav. Even more suspicious is the fact his listed biography is historically suspicious.
Is Karsh playing the ultimate game against himself? Out of insanity or boredom or a grand scheme to gain power? Are they both the result of a Gangrel Methusaleh using the immensely unique Dual Form discipline?

I meta-gamed a little because I've heard constant warnings about putting every point you have in social areas. So I kept unused points saved up before certain fights and spent points mid-combat until it seemed like I was actually doing decent damage.

They kinda pissed on this in v5 but whatever. Hopefully they try again later.

They look like a netflix adaptation danganronpa

Gratiano de Veronese is the most influential Lasombra in the Sabbat. He was the one to orchestrate and carry out the legendary diablerie of their Antediluvian founder. The youngest of the original Lasombra's childer and perhaps the most ambitious. Yet despite having changed Vamprie hsitory, changed his clan forever and practically founding the Sabbat, Gratiano never assumed the position of Regent and led the sect. In modern times he is content to have the comparatively minor position of Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro. Perhaps his account of the diablerie of Lasombra is not all truth.

Other vampires. Vision of Death and Suicide usually just do some damage.

After the Giovanni the Lasombra have always been competing with the Ventrue as my 2nd favorite clan. They are very alike. Perhaps to the point of originality . But I think the differences can be gleaned even simply by looking at their disciplines. Both have dominate. But while the Ventrue have Fortitude the Lasombra have Potence. The Ventrue are more cautious and take measures to prevent disaster. The Lasombra are more willing to get their hands dirty and bash faces in. The Ventrue have presence, they dont want to only control but inspire awe and reverence, they draw power from their subjects. The Lasombra have their unique Obtenebration, mastery over shadows and the unplumbed depths of the Abyss. They draw power from something entirely dark and inhuman.

ugh don't remind me. They had fucking Homeland Security take him out. Stupidest shit. V5 is a travesty and its likely tainted Bloodlines 2

What's the most fun playthrough and why is it Ventrue?

>Dominate lets you bring the kine in line
>Good social for the people you can't dominate/don't want to
>Fortitude makes you ridiculously durable, helping with the late game combat slog
>Presence on top of that makes you invincible
>Clan weakness only keeps you from feeding on shitty hobos and prostitutes any competent kindred would avoid anyway

Truly the patrician choice.

I think they used her as inspiration for Victoria in the Clan Quest Mod

>was a Ventruechad in vtmb
>going to be a Ventruechad in vtmb2
Piss off faggy toreadors and eat shit you brujahcunts, your betters are here.

I sucked on too many hobos during my run to make ventrue viable.

>>Clan weakness only keeps you from feeding on shitty hobos and prostitutes any competent kindred would avoid anyway
In tabletop it is much more restrictive so you're essentially on easy mode.

>not purely feeding off nightclub whores and your ghoul or from bloodpacks

The sequel seems like a game I'll get years after release when it's on sale for cheap and all DLC is shoved out

I didn't want to over-exert Heather.

I'll probably do the same with the FF7 remake. Why can't I get excited for anything anymore

>and all DLC is shoved out
Just wait for $insert_precious_metal_or_crystal edition.

Does heather turn into a hunchback or some shit if I ghoul her as a sewerchad? I don’t wanna start a playthrough just to find out because I’m probably going to play the game nonstop again

she gets gross boils on her face

Wait you can ghoul her as a nosferatu?
I went into the hospital but she freaked out and I reloaded thinking it wouldnt work out

I think you can ghoul her but she freaks out after no matter what you say, but eventually she'll meet you downtown anyway

that picture is fucking hilarious

The best thing about the sequel will be the ability to finally customize your appearance.

To what extent? The default option seemed kind of bland - I understand he's a Thin-blood, but sheesh.

this looks like a fashion student's project
this looks like an indie brand's RTW
this looks like a mainstream brand's RTW

I'm sure the NPCs wont be that repetitive

Wait I thought you just sneak in and kill everyone

I chose my names based on the clan
Ventrue - Vic
Tremere - Trevor
Gangrel - Grace
etc

I always hide from the wolf around the house and the cart station until the time runs out so I can quickly board it, I didn't know untill my third playthrough and only did because of YouTube algorithm

so he cloned himself?

The first vampire was seducing you to feed on you. The others are just romantics I guess.

DALE

hey that stupid dance is the same as it is in vtmb

Play Bloodlines if you haven't. Introduces the whole world really well. Get v20, read most of it (you don't need to memorize every skill, etc), then if you like any particular clan a lot, you can get their clan book or a XCity By Night for a more detailed setting. But everyrhing you need is in the core book.

God I want to feel up your manly breasts moving ever closer for a kiss, while moving my hands up and down your chest till I get to your hips, I get on my knees and push you to the couch behind you. I slowly unbuckle your belt, in zip your jeans kissing your trousers then when I lose control I toss it all away to reveal your massive cock. I want to it to choke me, I froth my mouth, why my tongue salvages I begin to engulf the head of your penis, you force my head down the whole thing veins beating like a heart along the walls of my Pharynx... I keep moving, but I can't breathe... It all seems to fade to Bla..ac...k... wake up, we're here. why are you shaking? are you ok? wake up. stand up... there you go. You were dreaming. What's your name

It seems to have it's own continuity actually. The Tremere Pyramid is still there, which was retconned in v5.

How do you just "hide around the house"? Doesn't he just chase you over there?

Did that on my first playthrough too.

Wish there was more patching/modding around that shithouse ending. I just noclip past it all now.

So what generation would a kindred have to be to reliably kill werewolves on their own?

I always somehow just find away to lose him, the game is consistently janky especially the werewolfs ai

Malkavian

Fun fact in the tutorial if you use a trainer or console commands to max your stats Smiling Jack calls you out on your bullshit

What does he say?

>Cara Ellison seems fine
Did you not read the picture that was posted?

>that annoying switch between 3rd person and 1st person for no reason
>no facial animation for your character when he drinks blood
>that facial animation in general
Why is this allowed?

But I am the chosen one?

That's something added by the Unofficial Patch
I think he just says it's cute that you're trying so hard. He normally says it sometimes if you try attacking him.

Any must have mods for a first playthrough?

if you don't open it, you ruin it for yourself the first time

The only mods worth a damn besides the Unofficil patch are Clan Quest Mod and Final Nights, which are both very "controversial" so to speak on whether they're good or not.

????

Unofficial Patch is literally REQUIRED to make it run. Otherwise FUCK NO. Play it as unmodded as possible. Maybe install the Plus Patch for subsequent playthroughs if you want.

Now I've watched more of the footage. Oh boy
>that fucking combat
Jesus. Why It's so fucking bad? Annoying camera switches again, terrible animations, enemies barely react to being hit with a metal pipe to the face. What is this shit?

AND I

True patch

Yeah I still prefer that one over the Unofficial Patch. Unofficial Patch still makes some unnecessary changes I don't like, although it's pretty much 99% vanilla anyway and a lot better than it was a couple years ago.

You might think "oh, it's just the shitty games journalist that can't play the game", but then you get to that one scene where he dumps a full magazine into a dude's face at point blank and none of the shots register. It's clear that the game just flat out doesn't work.

What's with that XBOX HUGE shotgun he picks up? his hands are also gigantic. I mean it's ok to have terrible combat as it is tradition with vtmb but the first one had a lot of detail in everything else that this one lacks.

No, shinier glasses so shekelberg can sell more vidcards don't create atmosphere or immersion.
