Sometimes, if done right.

I'd just like to point out that Baldur's Gate 2 had level scaling. But it was done right. Since you could undertake certain quests at various levels, the game might throw more or tougher enemies at you. If you went to do Firekrag's quest as soon as you left Irenicus ...

Just finished the game and it seems to me that Obsidian went with the "more is better" philosophy: More upgrades, more weapons, more powers, bigger stats, higher levels, etc. Not a bad idea, but not enough. The game is a munchkin's wet dream, but all the items get a bit annoying and the random drops ...

I'd suggest the first two Thief games. I played the first Splinter Cell and I was a bit dissapointed. The game is just too linear. It's like walking down a really long corridor with wery few options....

[QUOTE=Blu3)Marine(]that works with like ummm... security guards... but try tougher enemy/boss with that tactic, except purge other disciples are almost useless[/QUOTE]

Wrong. Bloodshield is always useful. Trance doesn't work, but Suicide does a healthy amount of damage, and Blood Missile can do a ...

Melee tremere bad? Hardly... True, they don't have the "common" mellee disciplines (potence and fortitude), but they have one of the best close combat disciplines in the game - Purge. Needless to point out, purge only works at close range, and works well, buying you time, leaving the enemy open for ...

Along the wall you should run into a group of homeless bums. To the right of them there should be a bunch of old boards leaning against the wall. The gap is behind those boards.

[QUOTE=Devilvidel]Mmm does anyone else have any hints about how to get past this guy as I am still struggling...I tried the stair idea but it didn't work for me and I still got attacked by the head hunters :(

*feels like such a dunce*[/QUOTE]

Well, it's kinda hard to avoid being attacked by them ...

Actually, I was saddened that there were fewer places where a skill of 9 or 10 would be required....

V:TM doesn't do random number checks. If your skill is high enough to do something, that means you did it, no rolling of the virtual dice and such. Now, say I make a character with Persuasion of 10 ...

Try not to waste too much time on the Runners and focus on the boss himself. He'll keep teleporting around, so keep at him. Celerity will help here. Keep thwacking at him, and don't forget to use your blood packs. If you're a close combat character, don't forget blood buff.

In all my runs through the game I managed to frenzy once and it's hardly a considerable factor in the game. Generally I consider it a bad idea since IMO the bonuses aren't worth losing control over your character. If you wish to try frenzying, keep your humanity as low as possible and get hit with ...

Also, if darkness is a problem, you could use Auspex (if you have it). That'll brighten the surroundings a bit (Protean also helps if you're a Gangrel)

All of the music can be found in one of the game folders. It's in mp3 format, complete with titles and artists. Both thumbs up to Troika for this...

[QUOTE=Lucita]Hmmm....

Dex should also affect your swiftness/agility as far as I know....[/QUOTE]

It would have made sense if dex affected your dodge feat, but that is determined by wits and defense (each feat is affected by 2 stats/skills, for a potential total of 10). Dex is in charge of ...

[QUOTE=rtwitty]Also read the message on the table giving you hints as to order to turn on the lights. When you "look" at the lights there is a symbol that relates to the message.[/QUOTE]

That's the candle puzzle. This is about the lightning room...

I fail to understand what's so tough about this quest. I managed to fail it once and that was because I was only guarding one gate.

Basically, kill about a dozen at one gate, run to the other (ignore zombies along the way), kill another dozen or so (starting with the ones attacking the door), go ...

The dexterity loss only affects your stealth and lockpicking skills, and you can always change outfits before using those skills....

Non-gangrel characters:

During one of the conversations in the Ventrue tower you can get him to ask about you. Then you get several options, and you get a bonus depending on what you choose. I could choose between a Humanity boost (telling him what a nice and moral guy I am) and a Sneak boost ...

[QUOTE=Lugaru]Im sure some one will post a more "glamorous" way to make it but this is the cowards easy way out.[/QUOTE]

Yep, here it is:

Go into the main building and snoop around a bit. You should find an exit leading into a small area surrounded with chainlink fence. Here you'll find a small ...

[QUOTE=GFreeman]is it really necessary to do that tho?

jsut go out and buy the game....no problems then. i just dont get using those kinds of games.[/QUOTE]

Well, computer games aren't exactly cheap. Where I live a brand-new latest game costs around 50-70$. On average, pirated games are priced at ...

[QUOTE=malky]I seem to be able to sneak in and plant the bomb with next to no problem, but when I try to leave through the back I get killed by all the thugs. I sneak my way in to plant the bomb and then when I'm leaving and drop to the floor, the thugs get me. I'm sorta gettin' a tad bit frustrated ...
