I'll bet someone money that this will NEVER be a daily deal. Activation is clueless about this game people, only if valve was in charge of that stuff would you see one.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Into the main Vampire folder in steam apps for the patch then? I want to make sure I do this right.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

VV is such a goddamn tease.

 

[cj_iwakura]

VV is such a goddamn tease.

She's a Toreador.

 

[Snuggles]

That is correct.

You should be able to find the file for the resolution fix in the Extras folder.

 

[Wallach]

She's a Toreador.

I warned you about those Toreadors bro!!! I told you dog!

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

She's a Toreador.

And a stripper, so there's that.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That is correct.

Thanks, done and done!

 

[Mortrialus]

I played this game for the first time about a month ago. It is worth every one of your pennies.

 

[bengraven]

The only game with better faces in existance is LA Noire.

And that's because they cheated.

I fucking WENT there. Come at me!

 

[PaddyOCanager]

I think I'm going to go Toreador for my first runthrough, is that a good choice?

 

[Synless]

What kind of character should I be?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

What kind of character should I be?

Brujah, Ventrue, and Toreador provide the most basic experience. Good way to start.

Some people say you should save Malkavian for your second time, but I think it's fine if you start out with it as well.

Nosferatu is a drastically different experience however, and I'd say you should stay away from it on your first playthrough.

 

[hamchan]

Hell yeah finally.

Rule 1: Wait for Daily Deals still applies though.

Don't lose your heads just because the whale is sighted folks. Have patience and steady your shot for the right moment.

 

[viewtifulsub]

What kind of character should I be?

What type of character are you looking to pursue? social/firearms/melee/stealth/etc?

Please tell me that this game is better than the shitfest that was Arcanum?

Coming from a huge Bloodlines fan, I also think Arcanum sucks.

Y'all crazy. Arcanum was awesome, and what Fallout 3 should've been.

The reason Malkavian and Nosferatu are great for second or later playthroughs is they're so strikingly different from the other vampire clans that it makes for one hell of a contrast.

But yeah, stay away from Nosferatu for your first time specifically due to the way they play (which is extremely interesting, it should be noted). Malkavian is pretty cool for a first playthrough but you may not get to see just what's so different about that clan.

 

[Ceebs]

Wait...My retail version of this goes for how much on Ebay?

Malks also provide pretty heavy spoilers before things happen -- if you're smart enough to pick up on what your character is saying.

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

So yeah I try to start up the game and I get an error that says: "available memory less than 15MB!!! -1"

EDIT - Fixed it by changing compatibility XP.

Buy more memory.













Patch.

 

[Yaska]

Went for Malkavian myself, did the question thingie. I really understand why malkavians are refferred as lunatics

 

[Zeliard]

Indeed, I'm about to start a fresh new playthrough myself. Except I don't know who to pick between Malkavian and Nosferatu. I've play both before, but I don't really want to pick another class.

 

[Guts Of Thor]

I am tempted to buy this but since I am so in the dark in terms of pc gaming can someone tell me if my system can run this?

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6700 @ 2.66GHz
2.7 GHz Performance Rated at: 6.21 GHz
Windows Vista
GeForce 8500 GT

Canyourunit tells me I can run it but I just want to make sure.

Here are my specs, will I have a problem running this on Vista?

 

[Otrebor Nightmarecoat]

Will wait until July 10, the end of the steam sales, for the possible daily. No rush buying it now.

 

[Synless]

I installed the patch from the OP. My system says there is an error everytime. The error claims I have insufficient memory under 15MB's. Any thoughts? I am running WIN7 64bit.

You want to download and install the unofficial patch...it's up to 7.5 now. I posted a link to it earlier today on another thread.

 

[Mutagenic]

This game dips down to like 49fps outdoors at the beach, crazy! It doesn't seem to be optimized well.

I did that, I think the problem is where I installed it to. I will find out in a minute.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Does this run on Windows 7 64 bit?

Sorry if this has been answered before.


edit: unofficial patch, got ya.

 

[lastplayed]

What kind of character should I be?

Female Tremere and bust some moves.

 

[scorpscarx]

Female Tremere and bust some moves.

Lol that's awesome... I'm getting this game for sure now

 

[Trojita]

Last time this was on sale was like Halloween 2 years ago.

 

[Kagari]

Yes. Runs amazingly, actually.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Damn you all, will this run on a shitty PC?

 

[mug]

Damn you all, will this run on a shitty PC?

How shitty?

 

[FredFish]

Damn you all, will this run on a shitty PC?

When the game came out my rig specs were:
Windows 2K Pro
Athlon XP
1 GB Ram
6600GT

I ran the game smoothly at 1600X1200 (no AA, 16X AF) by turning off shadows. Unless you have something with Intel integrated graphics and a Celeron you should be fine

 

[teiresias]

When installing the unofficial patch, should we be installing basic or plus? Any issues just installing the plus version?

 

[FredFish]

IIRC the basic install fixes the release bugs only while the plus patch modifies the game (item placement, combat mechanics some other stuff).

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

Played the game for 80 minutes so far. Its great. Really feels "Deus Exy" like some say. Though one thing I found weird is how sounds that are suppose to be heard from the left speaker are heard from the right and vice-versa. Weird glitch, but other than that the game seems bug-free...so far.

Y'all crazy. Arcanum was awesome, and what Fallout 3 should've been.

On paper Arcanum is by far and wide the deepest role playing game ever made.

Unfortunately the developers never heard of game design, pacing, or bug testing with it.

 

[tearsofash]

Bought it, now I just need a monitor to play it on. =\

 

[The Technomancer]

Godamn this thread is making it hard to wait to the end of the sale...I may bite halfway through.

 

[Amagon]

Still waiting for it to hit the daily deals.
BELIEVE

 

[graywolf323]

please tell me it's on sale the entire time, I can't afford it until next week when I get paid again >_<

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

I'm a first timer and picked the Gargian or whatever clan (the loner one). Hope that was a decent decision.

I'm half asleep and thought that this was a real poster for a game at first glance.

I was like "HOLY SHIT VAMPIRE WHALES? THIS MUST BE THE GAME OF THE CENTURY!"

 

[FredFish]

Heh. I've played everything except Gangrel...
When I reinstalled because of the last LTTP thread I was going to finally try them out but at character creation I just couldn't pick anything but my beloved Malk female

 

[Otrebor Nightmarecoat]

Its on sale until July 10

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Gangrel is fine, good melee class. My favorite to start out with is still Ventrue/Toreador, love talking my way through missions.

Melee is quite OPed in the vanilla game, but the unofficial patches seemed to have remedied that somewhat.

 

[Van Buren]

Y'all crazy. Arcanum was awesome, and what Fallout 3 should've been.

Agreed, Arcanum is still criminally under-appreciated despite being the best and most ambitious game Troika created (once the unofficial patches have been installed). A spiritual successor to Fallout if there was ever one.

 

[TheVampire]

This game was so fucking good.

I really liked the stuff like having your own laptop with email, hotel room, the newspapers, tv reports, hacking computer systems, the powers etc...


I do have a few mods for this game saved on my hdd somewhere, better skins and stuff I can reupload since most of the fansites which hosted them are dead now if anyone wants.
Also things like better signs and proper fangs and stuff.

 

[water_wendi]

i was really disappointed with Arcanum. Everything about it was a gigantic letdown.
