"Vampire: The Masquerade — Parliament of Knives"—Spy for your sire to save an undead Prince!

In the first chapter? There are some snooping options that require the player to be Nosferatu, but there are some that don’t. Being Nosferatu allows you to use the Obfuscate discipline that makes you disappear, so that’s best for snooping, yes.

OK here’s another question on that issue what is the percentage to be friends with the anarchs to get a look at it

I do have to say so far this one is as close to the table top as you can get

I have to say and of all the achievements I’ve done so far my favorites were with key those were fun

Welcome to the forums. Please try not to make multiple posts right after each other, though - make them all in one post or edit the original.

Is it possible to avoid the Archon paying you a visit and Dominating you when you’re on the Anarch path?

Amazing game, loved it as much as Night Road.

I’m having trouble starting the Qui romance on subsequent playthroughs though. So far I’ve only managed to trigger the “flirty” dialogue after the raid once, on a playthrough where I went too deep with the anarchs and missed the final part of the romance. Since then I’ve replayed 6-7 times up to the raid point and the flirty dialogue won’t trigger. I’ve tried multiple approaches with Ward and who to speak to in chapter 2 but I cannot trigger the romance again. Bug or am I missing something?

EDIT: Just to clarify, I am otherwise following the guides people have posted above but still not getting anywhere with him :frowning:

As a big fan of WoD and also of Choice of Games I just want to say I really like how each of these Choice of Games titles pushes the boundaries of what is possible in normal WoD games in their own way, it is really quite a breath of fresh air and reminds us players that in the end we make the stories and as long as we have fun as a group it is all cool.

Night Road: A player character who can level up/power up like a JRPG character to the point of being able to learn multiple powerful abilities and really lay the smack down on vampires much older through direct physical combat in a very “cut scene/QTE” fashion.
Also Julian’s plan pushes the boundaries on what is possible through manipulation of public perception and brainwashing

Out for blood: Monroe can somehow become human again if her sire is killed because she is a thinblood.

Parliament of Knives: Corliss, Lucca, the player character and Grace can actually be Nosferatu and the story still somehow makes sense through some mental gymnastics.

Also Vivian somehow is an Asian looking woman despite her description or the story never mentioning why this is (almost like they put the wrong picture there).

And of course, Qui is the only Nosferatu to have apparently escaped the clan curse

Sorry to ask,but do we have an achievement guide?I have some achievements sitll locked and I tried but can’t get them.stupid me :sob:
It took dozens of hours to try different choices so Im a little tired now,I need to read some other stories so I can focus back to this story later.
And…thats why I need a guide,it will be helped.I really like this story and want collect all achievements.:pray: :pray:

Very nice game. I got the ending where

the MC becomes a lackey - I mean, seneschal - for Viviane, and is besieged by Anarchs.
Too bad, I was at the edge of greatness (giving all the power to Corliss and getting some nice revelations), it was this close.

But the callousness of the final celebration, contrasted with Robert Ward ending up in trouble earlier because he went for the non-lethal knockdown on the guard, made me root for Ward. Who, in any case, could not take power in the city. And may be erased by the Archon’s machinations regardless.

I don’t know if that is indicative of the difficulty, but my MC was bad at finding out anything on the missing Prince, while good at keeping up appearances with both Camarilla and Anarchs, to the point that Ward & Sevinc busted him out of being interrogated by Lucca.

Btw in general I don’t care about romance options in stories, but Lucca could make sense

P.s. everybody can choose the path they like, but the portrait of Eden Corliss is perfect for a Ventrue IMO, and the story is centered on politics after all.

The artwork in this game doesn’t really match up with the description written. Vivian was just one example. Jordan and Sevenic are also poorly drawn. Whoever assigned the artwork dropped the ball.

I created and wrote the characters. I also wrote the descriptions given to and brought to life by the artist. I can assure you that she did NOT, in fact, ‘drop the ball.’

They are exactly as I wanted them. Vivian is as-described in the text. Her mode of dress and her hair are exactly what I asked the artist for.

I rarely describe the race of my characters in the text. I did the same thing in my Werewolves series. I tend to enjoy letting the reader imagine their favourite character to be whatever race they wish. Vivian’s race was never stated in the text.

If either of you defaulted Vivian’s race to white in your own heads, that’s not the fault of the artist. You’re free to imagine her looking however you wish, but claiming that she’s somehow the wrong race is not terribly becoming.

Characters will always look differently in readers’ heads than in cover art or the like. That’s a concern as old as book covers themselves. But the artist wasn’t tasked to bring your versions to life. She was tasked to bring MY versions to life. And she did a phenomenal job.

Say @GreekWinter regarding the mc clan from which their blood who is the methuselah ?

I thought I was the only one who cared about that type of thing. Ever since DAV20 established how the Ventrue who descend from different Methuselahs differ from each other in subtle but significant ways, I’ve always liked to imagine which Methuselah’s blood rests in my character’s veins.

Who did you imagine Mithras, Alexander, Nefer-Miri-Isis, Vedartha, Antonius, Eirik, Arthemis, Tinia, Medon ?

Arundel strikes me as being of Mithras’ line given his birthplace and willingness to dirty his own hands. The only strike against it being how he saw Valerius as a mentor but it’s not like Methuselahs are interested in controlling every single vampire descended from them.

Corliss’ suggestion to move to Canada upon Mithras’ return leads me to believe that she is of the line of Tinia.

As for the MC, well, I just headcanon my guy as being a descendant of Mithras since he is my favorite. He can even form a cult.
Not that Mithras probably even knows he exists since there’s likely at least 6 generations of separation between the two.

anyone from Mithras line has a somewhat godlike complex,Tinia is an explorer and a knowledge seeker anyone descended from her bloodline cannot stand being stagnant, Arundel is from Tinia while Corliss is from either Mithras,Eirik, or Medon due to her arrogance being all over the place

Hm, mayhap Arundel is of Alexander’s lineage. The Ventrue of his line can be graceful in speech craft, but under sufficient pressure, they are prone to outbursts of emotion. Such behavior is… common and very unbecoming of a Ventrue, as Arundel shows in a rather embarrassing tantrum over his beloved Anarch lover.

Then again, perhaps Arundel is of Artemis Orthia’s line, for her scions seek to destroy and conquer via force of arms and men, seizing glory and thrones without waiting.

It would be meet to be a childe of Isis’ line, for her brood are acutely perceptive and independent. It is simply rather unfortunate that so many… Antitribu are of her line. A silent blemish upon the Clan, that.

Ah, the knowledge seekers of Tinia’s line. It is crucial if the Clan is to avoid complete stagnation.

Of course, Arundel is probably not of Arakur’s line, thankfully. Considering how Arakur’s childe, Tiamat/Lantla, is, well, the thought is rather nightmarish. Yes, his line tends to have great personal power, but the reputation for cruelty, monstrosity, infernalism, and the amaranth is not exactly unearned. After all, the greatest number of Ventrue adherents of the Via Bestiae were drawn from his brood.

Alexander while he has excellent statescraft and diplomatic skills, however he is vey quick to lose his temper over childish things which is no wonder his childe geoffrey and salliana evicted him from france, Arthemis has excellent martial and tactical skills sadly she is simply to impatient which is why she got killed by couple frenzied rabbles (brujah). Isis prefer getting things done by herself rather than sending mooks to do the dirty job, she is simply too indepedent meaning she lacks teamwork. Arakur is ventrue 2nd blackmark, that turning into outside power (infernalism) gets you killed. So Arundel must be from either Vedartha or Antonius line.
