Well that explains it. It says 18369M. Do you think this could be rectified?
And by current version weâre talking about the draft version including St Louis of course.

This perhaps is more of question in regards to the parish in St Charles. During the time where the MC is confronting the priest, there is the opinion to go see mass. I have never been able to choose that opinion. Is there certain stats you need?
Also, I really enjoy the fact that the MC can be religious and the topic of their religion is continuous throughout most of the game. I was wondering if there would be a situation in St Louis where this would come up.
Perhaps one other thing is the topic of romance in St Louis. In the first and second game, you have Silas and Clotho (depending on if you go to New Orleans). I know you can have an affair with the bearded lady at the circus but I was wondering if there would be another possible romance. Also is there a possibility that if the MC was a suitor or West in the very beginning would there be some internal conflict when it comes to dealing with him (if they love him or even out of loyalty)?
For your first question i think you need to either have high will power and not care about religion i think. I have to check again.
Yes, your Superstition must not be too high.
Thereâs an extended scene at the beginning of St. Louis about religion. Itâs right after you choose what to do about the Exodusters.
No, Annie Jones is the primary affair of this volume. I mean, there is some tinkering that Iâm doing with an extended flirtation with Eliot, but thatâs a little different.
But you did give me an interesting idea about something else to do with West.
Have you considered expounding upon the hints of flirtation/general relations with Sabine? Sheâs quite the enigma and only seems to like a character if theyâre progeny of West and an Indian.
The hand-holding at the fair, for instance could do with some elaboration of a kind. Frankly Hiram comes across like heâs got a shoe up his backside, Sabine is much more interesting.
This a bit more of a general question but how does the spending of the money work in the first part of the series? Depending on you beginning background, you can start the game with about $3000 in savings. There are two opportunities that I can think of (investing in the guy you meet at the beginning party and/or paying Hèrbertâs debts/paying him to teach MC French if they donât know it). It seems that even if I have the funds to spend on these opportunities, they are grayed out if you started with a lower savings.
*selectable_if (wealth > 5000) #Yes, $250.
*set wealth -4000
*set marigny_investment 4000
*selectable_if (wealth > 30000) #"Yes. How much will you need?"
*set wealth -20000
*set speaks_french true
*set learned_french true

*set hebert_debt_cancelled true
Here are some snippets of the code from Choice of the Vampire. The game wonât allow you to spend all of your savings and be broke, so you have to have more in savings then you are actually spending.
Itâs more than that. The money on the stats screen is in 2010 dollars, but the money in-game is whatever year it is in-game.
Yes, I have. Still undecided on that account.
Well it would be an interesting dynamic, especially for the characters who are either Westâs progeny or are otherwise ostracised from the Society or particularly non-vampiric in behaviour (like Hiram - in nursing the sick in Memphis and so forth).
That aside a couple of small points. Just before the Governor soirĂŠe in New Orleans the character when told to be quiet by Padre Carlos is something like âbut of course sirâ. For the other domini this isnât a probably but as heâs a Priest itâs not quite appropriate to call a Priest sir. Father/Padre is the proper form of address, even more so in the Catholic New Orleans. Another thing would be at the Mary Shelley party where the afterlife is discussed. Here a Priest character expressing dismay over the passing of Clotho will get a response about his wife. The vows of celibacy being what they are, it might be better to create a different response.
Also, in St Louis the dialogue scenes are largely without reference to the characterâs status as a Priest. From the first Vampire meeting in St Louis onward itâs Mr this and Herr that. No mention of Father at all apart from in the option to leave Holy Orders in order to not fall susceptible to âmortal bureaucracyâ.
Have you considered adding an option in the character development stage for an Indian character to be able to learn to read if they are of sufficient intelligence? I get that the background would give the character much less access to written material but it stands to reason that as the character is alive at a time where they could be converted to Christianity in that development stage or learn to use a gun and so forth that a so-inclined character chose to learn to read which would fit well with the option to learn about the Americans that comes from seeing oneâs Father in a drunken state.
Anyone who isnât literate, who has Intelligence > 1 and Willpower > 1 can become literate during chargen.

Chargen?
Character generation.
I really think that in between first and second game should be a small interlude when all characters who donât speak English and donât know to read learning and is canon.
Maybe a small scene for characters uploaded when our character is taught or just plain living in an English language zone being a vampire, making the character understand instinctively the letters.
The second game is really complicated to see it through the eyes of characters animalistic and illiterate. A small scene showing how we gradually learning could be a rich scene that engages player.
Is there a way to join the LPE in St. Louis?
When you say âjoin the LPE,â do you mean the planning/organizing committee?
