Out now! "Vampire: The Masquerade — Night Road": Spoilers Inside Thread

hmmm? what ‘nice’ and what clan are you talking about?

I mean thinking about Julians plan, has anyone actually tried it? Like spoilers for the ending of course but I mean if there is a way to make it work has anyone reached that ending?

I did try it and the ending doesn’t show if it worked or not. Julian will just send you to another errand to assist him in his 2100 program. I think the potential sequel would tackle that.

Oh, well that kinda sucks. I don’t think the sequel follows the courier, but I could be wrong. Either way that’s kind of a letdown.

Atleast it leaves more room for a sequel to happen. Besides, the game is 650k words in total. What more can you ask for.

Stealth combat and streetwise for my good skills but bad at technology leadership and charisma

Gangrel is my favorite clan for Night Road.

My Courier is quite skilled at being persuasive and could probably moonlight as a detective on the side of being a courier. If words fail, then she’s got the experience from her time serving in Afghanistan to help her in a fight. As a Gangrel, she’s mastered the Protean Discipline. Plus, she isn’t half bad at finding her way around technology or trying to survive in the wilderness.

I prefer Banu Hadim for the personal relationship it gives you with Julian.
Otherwise, it doesn’t feel like his interest in you specifically makes a whole lot of sense. He goes out of his way for you a lot of the time, which would be odd if you were just a “former partner.”

On the other hand, being Gangrel is one of the only reasons the Prince would be so tolerant of you directly going against his plans all the time. And it’s justifiable that Julian would have an interest in you specifically to screw with Lettow. So either of those two works best.

LOL, when I said skills, I actually meant disciplines. Though, to answer my own question, I’d probably want, intelligence, because I am smart as me, and stealth? I prefer stabbing people as opposed to punching in really hard to face.
Also, Clan? probably, Juliens, Just because you get to basically fade from site, well Fade from peoples notice, which is essentially the same thing, and go really really really fast.
Also, I like the whole lawgiver thing. That’s cool.

It more complicated than that. Essentially he wants to manipulate modern media to create an impression of vampires among the average person. A positive stereotype essentially.

The blood magic is meant to act on a subconscious level, taking that impression, and bringing it to the fore whenever someone thinks about history. They would read a book about world war 2 and draw similarities between important popular figures of history and vampires.

there conclusions would cast the vampires positively, and more importantly, essential. By associating vampires with stability and prosperity and magically making people find examples of that thru out history, he turns people into a willing shield for vampires.

Unfortunately it is a Perfect Storm scenario. Like all of sim’s plans, it’s built around his egotistical belief that he can get everything right. there is plenty that can go wrong. As good as he is at covering his losses, he’s mediocre at preventing them.

Clan Ventrue and Social Skills with one high intellect skill and at least one combat skill.

I am the King of Kings, baby!

My only problem with Ventrue, is the fact that you can only have one type of prey, so in theory if someone knows that, they can just send a lot of people who aren’t your prey after you, and eventually wear you down, then use a mallet and pound a 6 foot long sharpen piece of wood into the centre of your chest.

Just started playing the game and I am very excited bc I am a huge fan of World of Darkness.

I have a question though, is there a reason we can’t play as Mlkavian, or will it be included later? They are kinda my favorite Clan to play, so I wonder (and hope maybe it will come as a DLC?)

Probably not is my guess. Simply because a Malkavian Courier would require an entire rewrite of the book given how Malkavians perceive and would narrate the world.
