Tremere?

Post by AGustofWind »

Well, I choose to play as a Tremere this time. Aside from their blood magic, it doesn't seem much different than the other clans, except that you can't raise any physical attribute above four.

I'm just wondering, aside from Strauss, what other characters recognize/comment on your being a Tremere/how is it really different than playing as the other clans aside from what I already have said? Appreciate the info in advance.

The other character that comments on you being a Tremere is
Andrei when you first meet him. I prefer to play as a Tremere
because I like the haven you are given more than the other
havens. Aside from blood magic, the unique haven is the only big
difference I see.

There are other characters who comment on your clan in minor ways. I believe the first is in fact Bertram, who goes in a tirade against Mages if you reveal you saw through his manipulation to have you fight the Kueijin.

Its not an immensely different experience from any other clan. Youre a bit weaker physically, but the Dominate/Thaumaturgy combo can get you through anything. Thaumaturgy is the strongest boss-killing discipline as well I believe. Nothing deal as much damage in a short time as a spammed blood strike. On an Eldritch Prodigy with the focus, Ive timed Ming Xiao's death at 3.3 seconds. ;)

Try playing a Tremere disciplines-only. No guns and no melee makes for an entirely different game. Everything really starts to revolve around managing your bloodsupplies.

You can tell the gargoyle you're Tremere, but I haven't tried it...I didn't think the outcome of that would be good ;) I'm sure he has some comments to make on that lol.
I hate it when my food name-drops.

You're right, it doesn't matter if you're extra nice to him, if you dare to mention you're a Tremere he'll attack you.

He must be pretty stupid if he's the only dark childe in whole L.A. who can't tell a Tremere from a Nosferatu by just looking.
And so I left...

Ming Xiao in 3.3 seconds?! That sounds incredible, why don't you upload a video of that in YouTube?

Most Ming Xiao's YouTube videos are mediocre or plain lame. I remember I used to go one-on-one with the Flamethrower and then the Tal'Mahe'Ra blade against Ming Xiao and it was a pain in the ass. Then I opted for the Flamethrower and Steyr Aug and it was very easy, but killing her in 3.3 seconds sounds just too good to be true, lol.

Hope you decide to make a video of that, C U!
