KOTOR: Bastila. Sure, she's a stuck-up Jedi princess but it was fun breaking the ice and LOVE the accent.

KOTOR II: Brianna. Warmer personality and lovely voice. But Mira is a runner-up for looks.

While I enjoy making short work of foes with the flamethrower, my top two firearms are the Anaconda and Jaegerspas .

Aside from the power, I like being able to shift gears from single fire to fan action or from pump action to auto fire. The revolver was also more appealing to me aesthetically than ...

:D I already got "that Highlander feeling" when I noticed the katana wielded by the "Asian dude" in Santa Monica.

I was big on the series, and I highly recommend the anime film Highlander: Vengeance. I'd say it's the best film since the original.

Neither Cloud nor Square holds a monopoly on big @$$ swords. The swords are both big but they're hardly identical.

Personally, my favorite "big @$$ sword-carrying guy" is Guts from the Berserk manga and anime. Fear the Dragonslayer!! :eek:

Personally, I'd rather a patch/mod stayed as close to the original game as possible. That is, no new quests or adjustments to the existing quests and their rewards.

My exceptions would be:

(1) Restoring lines of audio that are broken...like an NPC that doesn't access the Noss/Malk response in the ...

I think a sequel to VTMB is next to impossible.

It's not that Troika folded: the material would be different even if another maker went to work since White Wolf had an intellectual overhaul and Vampire: The Masquerade became Vampire: The Requiem . I was never into P&P but I understand that some of ...

I think Celerity can be considered the best because time-stalling works wonders whether you're a range or close-up fighter. With another disciple like Auspex or Potence, it really turns the tables in your favor.

Thaumaturgy is one of the tops because of its "timeless" Shield protection; ranged ...

Nice philosophies.

For my part, the insular Tremere clan is exemplified in an insular Kindred. Don't be so free to share your contrary thoughts or knowledge with anyone and, with a group so tight-knit as the Tremere, especially with your own bloodline. Even though Strauss conducted himself ...

There's another trick to saving points similar to buying four books on Firearms and Computers (bah) from Trip... and it leaves me with a guilty feeling. :D

Just sell the 1-2 and 3-4 level books you collect on sneaking, dodging, finance, brawling, and melee without using them, and then buy them ...

Take pride in your ability to save that Noss... because that's pretty much all you can get from it. :o Nothing occurs later on in the game to reflect your accomplishment. Only thing is you'll be meeting that Noss model again when you reach the Warren, though it's a different character.

Being a thrifty Kindred (SPOILERS)

One of VTMB's strong points is its social aspect. The voice actors are great and there are numerous options with conversations.

However, by the time of the Giovanni mission, I realized that spending tens of points on Persuasion or Seduction only resulted in a handful of points in return. It just ...

Yeah, playing as a Noss is fun. I just wish it wasn't as an S&M freak.

As far as the missions go, you get an extra mission from Bertram later on, and the Hollywood case where a woman recognizes you from your prior life doesn't occur.

The appearance isn't a really serious problem, though ...

You're free to kill away in the Traffik mission. Just don't get spotted or have that "!" mark on your stealth meter.

As a Tremere, I used the ladders but also Trance and Suicide to kill my way down to the exchange. I wasn't spotted and I got the bonus.

I think the Tremere are extremely balanced rather than overpowered. They can be as capable conversationalists as the Ventrue or Toreadors, and Thaumaturgy ensures that they don't fall behind in closed or distanced fighting. If anything made them overpowered, I'd sooner consider the Dominate ...
