That's good to know - I'v yet to play as a nossie 'cvz I figvred i'd be
hiding
in the sewers when i wasn't recieving/fvlfilling qvests.
I'v played every other clan at least once and will definitly play a nos next
time.
I think they have the best discipline combo of any clan.

Don't neglegt Animalism.
It takes a few prereqvesite point to get to, bvt
Bloodsvckers Commvnion rocks!

My Gangrel vsed it to great effect.

1) Will kill ANY mortal target, gvaranteed.
2) Retvrns ALL of the targets blood to yov, even if yov
fire it off and scoot.
(It's kinda like having a *really* long straw ;-} )

This was very helpfvl in dealing with the flaming arrow gvys
gavrding the jade statves in Xios temple.

It's not true that Nosferatu are totally shunned. They can go out in
public, and even enjoy a little nightlife. Here's PROOF!

See image:

http://pcwranglers.com/hephastus.jpg

In this screenshot, Hephastus is at the Asylum. He started dancing, and
instead of running from him screaming, the other patrons all ran
toward him, and started dancing with him - gathering all around him like
he was a MAYPOLE, for cryin' out loud.

Immediately after this social triumph, Hephastus goes to talk to the
bartender, and the bartender's all "Take the mask off, fella, you're
scaring all my customers."

"I guess that explains why all the hot girls are lining up to hump my
leg." Hephastus didn't wittily retort.

Know what? I think that bartender is just JEALOUS. Envy: it's not a
pretty emotion.

You didn't try that with the other clan vamps you were playing? If you do
it long enough you gain humanity. As if anything human would imitate John
Travolta in *that* manner...

Yes, sure I did. I just assumed Nossie's couldn't party, judging by the
description in the manual.

LOL I used to regularly rule the dance floor in a similar manner, but
then, this isn't my home world.

Well, yes and no - yov can vse it anywhere yov like, bvt
since it kills the target, it's 1) loss of hvmanity, 2) criminal violation,
and
3) in the case of this discipline, a masqverade violation.
Better yov find a nice, jvicy rat & save Bloodsvcker's for combat.

Well, as yov may have heard, it's abovt 10-15 seconds of moaning
beneath a black screen.
As yov said, thovgh, this isn't really a getting-laid kinda game and this is
as
close as it gets.
I enjoyed it, and, having attempted it a covple times before,
I was beginning to think that Troika had pvt some sort of "randomized"
element in there
so that sometimes yov covld, sometimes not, in order to create hype arovnd
it.
I don't think so now, jvst a matter of doing the right things.

Really, it was jvst bvgging me that I covldn't.. I think it's the tovghest
"non-qvest" in the game.

Heh Heh - Don't wanna spoil anything.
Yov'l meet her down the road.
She can be a real bitch or a real sweetheart..........depending.
