It does not matter, most of us here are probably patching the Steam distributed exe. It works flawlessly and even has a self extractor.

Thanks! I know what I'm doing when I get home.
So anyone who knew about this ? http://www.planetvampire.com/forum/index.php?topic=6417.0

Interesting, but very ambitious. I'd rather someone just focus on a Sabbat campaign.

Same thing I was thinking. It looks like " after and before".

i know this was posted a long time ago but the fight with Zapathasura is mentioned on the TV news. Its that freak storm in Egypt segment that plays.. i forget which day its on. Since the storm is up it means that it takes place after the Kuei-Jin summoned the storm but before the Technocracy blasted the place with Spirit infused atomic weapons.

I got a question, does this have a controller support mod?

whats so good about this game? I remember buying and playing it when direct2drive was around. I was really enjoying it but then it deleted my save file. never went back to it
Ah I love Bloodlines. Remember to go with the latest unofficial patch everyone! The one in the OP isn't up to date.
I'm afraid it's before and after. That texture mod is pretty bad if you ask me.

Reposting from another thread.
Edit: I know exactly where it is and found the code to unlock the locker but can't unlock the door to get to the locker. Am I just going to have to come back with better security skill?

Beat the game. Even with the unofficial patch it's still buggy and unpolished. Combat and exploration isn't very good either, but still... the game has charm and some pretty good dialogs.

I ended up finding the code to the freezer on my own but never found the one for the werewolf blood, turns out they were unrelated anyways. I just unlocked the door via hacking.
I playet the game like 4 times, every time only with the 1.2 offcial patch and every time the game still reminds me why it's my favorite game of all time

I'd disagree with that, and buy it for a dollar.

I say that mostly because of dungeons. Usually there's nothing to find in them, and exploration is not rewarded with new items. Though actual dungeon design could be worse, I guess, but it isn't that good either.
That said, I'd love to play more RPGs with a modern setting. That's one of the reasons I like SMT.

Goddamn at the Ocean View Hotel. Flawlessly executed and atmospheric as fuck. My Gangrel's claws couldn't help her resolve that situation.
Edit: Saw a LP of a guy who had an option for "history" during character creation. Mod?

Easy to say in 2014. Felt groundbreaking back in 2004.

Sort of, it's restored (and most likely, fixed) cut content.
You can actually restore the option via console in the vanilla game using the command: vchar_edit_histories 1

Oh, I see. Seems like an odd thing to cut. How to I bring up the console in this game?

There were concerns about not having enough time to test all of the histories adequately, and there being a risk of progression halting bugs with them.
you need to add the following to your command line arguments on your shortcut, and then you can get to the console with ~

Gangrel are awesome at combat in my experience. Did you invest in brawling? Buffed yourself with Blood Buff or Protean? I killed them all hand-to-hand without any trouble.

I think some stuff looks better.
Like the new roads.
I think Tremere is the best and easiest clan because of all those awesome blood magic spells. Like that one which lifts an enemy up into the air and they scream and burst into a cloud of blood and guts. I'm not sure about guns I never used them back when I first played the game when it originally came out. Maybe the unofficial patches have made them better by now.

So about how far into the game do you start finding new outfits? I've done a few quests in Downtown so far.

Around that point. You should see them at merchants.

I got yelled at by LaCroix for killing a police officer on the
but for the life of me I don't recall killing anyone. I got spotted and booked it out of there but I didn't attack anyone. I fiddled with the ship controls a bit - blew the horn and turned on the engines, but I don't know what effect that had. I dropped the crate near the
too but it didn't land on anyone. I don't care all that much, but if I knew I wouldn't get any credit for not killing anyone I would have forgone stealth and just murdered them.

I can't conceive of any way that the zombie quest in Hollywood is possible. I've tried defending one gate exclusively and lasted with 30 seconds left on the timer before the opposite gate fell. When that failed I tried running back and forth between both gates but that failed even quicker. Using Protean I can kill them all in one or two hits but I don't know what I'm supposed to do about both gates. Am I missing something?
Really glad for this thread.... some great mods on display here. Nearly done with the game, went with a Toreador female for my first playthrough, but will try a Malkavian when I'm done.
Also, I must say, don't like that texture overhaul. I wouldn't say it improves any of the textures, it just changes them into something which compromises the original art style of the game. The original LA is meant to be dirty and decrepit, while the mod makes it look much cleaner and sterile, and for me, it just doesn't feel right...

Do you have the basic unofficial patch installed?
The way I understand, it increases the hit points for the gates, so I finished the quest by spending a minute at the upper gate, then I went for a minute at the lower gate, and kept switching until the timer ran out. With my Toreador focused on ranged weapons, did it on my second go!
Still, if you have major problems finishing it, there's a way to skip it entirely,
by refusing to guard the gates, and getting Romero a prostitute instead.

Tremere made it easy. Thaum'd them all to death.
Deified Data

Yeah, I have the patch. Switching gates doesn't seem to work. For some reason the best time I ever got was when I defended one gate exclusively, so they must spwn in greater numbers wherever you are. Switching between them appears to summon them in great numbers at both gates. Anyway, tried it a few more times and it's just not happening.
I can't convince the prostitute to see him either

Or if you're a female character
you can sleep with him yourself.
I remember being able to do it fairly easily with the shotgun.
Ah, right, didn't notice you were playing as Gangrel... I suppose social skills aren't the strong suit of your build!
Still, you may want to try the quest out when you level up further... though I'll definitely agree it's one of the more frustrating quests in the game, which depends a lot on your luck, even after the unofficial patch.
Yeah, I've never pulled it off, either. Pre-Wesp Tremeres can probably pull it off with Blood Salvo, but the Plus edition switches the multi-target blood attack for something that drains (and kills) a single target instead. No complaints due to how absurdly good it is (doesn't break stealth, kills every non-boss enemy in one hit, returns more blood than it spends, etc), but for this particular occasion...
The alternative approach is more amusing, anyways.

I assume this is only a seduction option? My character's female and wasn't presented with it.
Yeah, I guess I'll try again later. If I can one-shot these guys instead of two-shotting them it might make a difference.
Yep, you'd need some points in your seduction skill to make it work.

I remember a conversation with LaCroix where he wants you to do something, and you have to because the plot compels you but if you are defiant and say no he uses some kind of spell on you mid conversation and the only response you can choose from is yes. I thought that was neat.
