Wow - skipped a few of the patches, and it's a real blast to be tearing up undead L.A. again. Thanks for all your work (as usual ;) )! Can't wait to reach the new level.

Possible minor bug: The guard upstairs in the SM clinic will react to seduction and allow you to feed, but after that his "gtfo ...

Hm... are you sure these are related? For me it always worked to get infos about ghouling from either Knox or Mercurio and ask Malcom to treat Heather - always worked after that, independent of the info source or the order of inquiries.

You'll also need to speak to Dr. Malcolm first (the guy with the dreads in the next room), who'll then tell you he can't do anything for her right now. Only then will you be given the choice to blood her up.
If you've done that, too, then.. well, no idea.

Can't confirm it from the files, but in the official versions and at least some earlier versions of Wesp's patch the quest seems to be broken, if you do it right away when you've entered the graveyard for the first time . Broken as in the gates won't break ;) So, yeah, thought it was easy, too, on ...

Depends on the disciplines. Obfuscate - personally I don't usually develop it above lvl3. Auspex is very useful for a gunslinger, as it raises your perception - although I'm not sure whether it can raise perception above 5. Dementation makes for a very nice addition to your arsenal, especially for a ...

Know that one... don't think it's a glitch, though... he can't spot you (stealth works... strange in this game) but hears you&follows your footsteps. Far as I know that kind of thing'll happen with vanilla as well.

Guns aren't only good for killing people, you know... they're also great for demolising cams at range, attacking weak-but-essential structures (Leopold Society, anyone?) or creating a distraction. So, yeah, a silenced gun would indeed be appreciated - or for the crossbow to work properly, since the ...

Well. Wow. Looks like somebody finally cracked the Holy Grail of VTMB modding: Direct map editing.
Don't think there will be many modders around to play with it now, but between this, Wesp5's excellent work and the old multiplayer project, there suddenly seems to be a real possibility to turn this ...

Besides, Nossies and Malks just offer quite.... unique perspectives to the game world. I did my first playthrough as a Malk, and in comparison the other clans seemed horribly boring at first. ;)
Addressing the topic, though: Probably not, and I think this is a very good thing. Brilliant things ...

IIRC the door ist locked anyway (but that could've been a bug on my first playthrough) - anyway, you don't need to obtain the key from a guard: If memory serves, it's lying around on/in a desk somewhere in the basement.

Depends... if you want to be stealthy-sneaky, Toreador have a bit of a problem, yes. If you just don't want to kill anybody: Observe and memorize guard patterns and use Celerity to pass them quickly; a combo of Celerity and Presence will help you escape, should you be detected. Ain't hard that way ...

VTMB Official 1.2 Patch download - Vampire: The Masquerade ? Bloodlines Game - Mod DB
First result on google ;)

Other than that, I'd recommend starting over... you can try continuing the game, but you might encounter some oddities or a certain unfixed critical (there are, however, ways to deal ...

That, or use Wesp5's unofficial patch which already includes patch 1.2. Either way, be sure to start a new game after you've applied the patch.
Unless you have bought the game off Steam, Direct2Drive or a similar service, in which case patch 1.2 should already be applied, which should spare you from ...

Restaurant Review quest does, however, indeed give you a monetary reward. Or should, at least.... and storing multiple items apparently does not work as intended. As such, it seems likely that Grimm indeed is a victim of VTMB's legendary bugginess.
Again, I suggest using a patch, if you aren't ...

There might be your problem... unpatched Bloodlines is buggy as all hell. ;)
Unless you got it off Steam or another download service, I recommend installing at least the official 1.2 patch (query the search engine of your choice for a dl location), or, better yet, get the latest Unofficial Patch ...

Not that I can actually help, but let me ask two questions the answers to which are important for the people who can help:

1) What patch are you using? 1.2 Official? One of the "True VTMB" patches? One of Wesp5's Unofficial Patches? If it's any of the latter options, what version it is?

2) Did you ...

Domination in Conversation only works vor Ventrue, iirc... either for all dialogues or just for a few, not sure. So with a Tremere you still have to rely on being honeytongued, creepy or violent.

Sounds like you started a new game after the crash at Grout's Mansion?
If not: Did you continue a previous game after installing the patch?
If you did: Did you reinstall as well? Might also be worth trying the 7.0 release of the unofficial patch, as this would help to find the source of your ...
