As a gun slinger that was not an option to me. Guess I could have used Auspex more when shooting but I didn't realize how important it was to the firearms skill. I thought it was only useful for spotting people through walls.

Yeah, I think my biggest problem was being too shy about using disciplines. Probably because of playing Ventrue first. Picky eaters could constantly run into low fuel problems. It’s pretty easy with other clans to “top off the tank”.

One issue I always had with disciplines is how many you end up having. Cycling through them all in the heat of battle and finding the right one while constantly fighting was horrendous

Yeah that could get a bit dicey. I typically just use one to open combat (like VoD or any of the “crowd control” ones) and then select whatever is going to make my attacks more effective.

Least favourite hub for me is Hollywood, hands down. Such a depressing place. I think this may be the reason I say Chinatown is my fave because coming to that from Hollywood really amplifies the niceness of Chinatown. Although Vesuvius is a nice place, I will admit... ...

Least fave sub area Ming Xiao's temple. It's just tedious.

I like Ming Xiao’s temple. I do not like the Ming Xiao fight though. *That* is tedious. Lol

I also agree about Hollywood. It is the weakest hub. I kinda feel like they got Santa Monica and Downtown done, but Hollywood was the starting point if where they had to start rushing the game.

Flamethrower. Takes out half of her health but you need to be fully stocked up on fuel.


I think Khajiit has a good point here. From that hub onward the game is way less talk-centric and more just about fighting. It's a clear distinction for sure. Then again, movies are often like this too; all talk in the beginning and then all fighting when things need to be sorted out.

One of my favorite sub-areas: The monestary. Great setting and atmosphere and the music is perfectly aligned with the cathedral music from Deus Ex

The mission with the Society of Leopold?

Yup


I programmed all computers to set off the bombs on humans but I think I always killed them myself. Wasted opportunity.


The training area at the end of the cave with the goofy cardboard cutout monsters was so funny

I enjoy that mission. Brigitte had a lot of fun making fountains there.

Making fountains?

Yeah! People’s necks in the game make such wonderful fountains when you use your knife a certain way!

Oh


I think I just VoD:d them or drained them. Never even had a knife in my inventory. You could also shoot many explosive crates and kill them that way. I think I even got tired of killing them on my third Malk playthrough so I just Obfuscated past most of them

One good thing about missions is that they are different ways of approaching them!

That statement is pure manic pixie dream girl energy. Very appropriate to Brigitte.

Exactly! Brigitte always saw herself as something of an artist. Flesh is her canvas, and she uses her knife to paint in strokes of sanguine.

Ah, here she is working on a piece now!

I'm reminded of the slashing of paintings that Jeanette ask you to do. With the following surprise when you destroyed the last one...

Yeah that was quite unpleasant.

And Therése wasn't too happy bout it, she wasn't
