Caltrops - Vampire: The Masquerade:: Bloodlines





	[quote name="Sapper Gopher"][quote name="Bill Dungsroman"]So, I just started the game. Advice? Like, shit, start at the beginning with what character class is optimum for the best gaming experience (it doesn't matter if it's hard, RPG's are the only games I don't suck at). I was thinking Toreador or Ventrue because I'M A FAGGOT. Gun skills? Stealth? Black leather and lace? [/quote] The supposedly effete Toreadeor get Celerity, which at max level gives you bullet time, complete with sonic boomlets rippling through the air. Like the gun skills(ranged), it has to be maxed out for you to appreciate it, though. You'll have plenty of points to max them out before the combat heavy latter half of the game though, where you can just mow down the hordes that are thrown at you in slow motion with automatics and the desert eagle(or "McClucsky" as it called). Starting out though you'll have the crappy .38, which is no way comparable to what you can dish out with unarmed or melee. But it's ok if you neglect close range crap, because the early part of the game has enough oppurtunities for avoiding combat such that any social or sneaking skills will not go to waste. Speaking of stealth, don't bother getting sneaking higher than 2, which is more than enough to creep around a map, stealth killing every henchmen one by one. The other two Toreador disciplines aren't worth points either, cause all you need is Celerity. One(presence) stuns hostiles but doesn't seem potent enough, and the other(auspex)just gives you Vampire infared and x-ray vision. It's also hard to justify putting points into hacking when all the passwords can be found on gamefaqs. Also on gamefaqs: the second general FAQ has good character creation advice. Another good piece of advice you'll hear more than once: Don't open it.[/quote]
