Stripper Assassin

There is a problem with this quest. I'm playing as a female Gangrel now, but I've played as a female Tremere before. The last guy in the Sin Bin Peep show won't leave. I shut down the peep show, robbed the change machine blind, and even popped him in the kidneys to get him to leave the booth and then stood in the door to prevent him from getting back into it.

Even after all that, he's perfectly content to stand in the hallway staring at a blank wall for, at the time of this writing, 53 minutes IN REAL TIME!

Then I kill the jerk, and there is a dancer in the change room that won't leave. So I kill the Hunter, and I have to kill her, too. Count 'em, two Humanity penalties, and a Masquerade Violation. But there is no other way to complete that quest as a female vampire.

In the Mafia mansion, I run into similar problems. The three experience points that are supposed to be there aren't, for a female. The best a female can do is get through without killing any humans and suffering either a humanity loss or a Masquerade Violation.

But that is an ongoing theme through this game. It seems that this Troika bunch hasn't evolved past their sixth birthday, because they're preoccupied with breasts that are bigger than their head, and making sure everything works out for males only.

I AM A MALE. This game has a lot of potential, but it would have been a big help if the designers had employed anybody past the age of 14 and male when TESTING IT! This is a testament to the very worst things in infantile game design.

But you know something? I'm going to keep playing it, because I'm going to find a way that every kind of female Kindred can win, no matter how long it takes. I'm going to make a point out of taking down all of the male 'sugar daddies'. Then I'm going to write about it. In nauseating detail.

I don't know anything about the mafia mansion since I haven't been there yet, but my male Tremere locked the fat bloke at the sin bin too. I had beat up the change machine and when the man went over to it, he got stuck, he couldn't get away from it. Sometimes he gets stuck just staring into the wall, I dealt this with Trance from the Dominate discipline and bumped into him, this woke him up and he continued his duties (spending money to see the broads)

** SPOILER (I guess) **

I killed the stripper hunter with my fists and then I fed on the other stripper, but didn't kill her. This made me complete the quest silently and VV was happy.

I would be a good tactic to save your game before you go down the stairs at the sin bin 'cause there is an fair chance of the game screwing up in one of the aforementioned ways

The mansion you can get the 3 points as female.
Not sure if it's only linked to persuasion (9) in this case or that you need a decent seduction (7+) as well

I had no problems with my Malk chick on the peep show part of the game. Took me 10 min prolly.

Are you asking for help or just whining about the game? It sounds like other people have gotten through those parts fine and your breakdown was unwarranted.

There is a strange solution to the problem with Chastity. If you manage to hit her through the wall (I used my fist, and Auspex is a great help), she will open the door and come after you. Then finish her off. I did this the first time I've played the game, because I didn't know how to get rid of the second guy...

I had some trouble with this quest, but not too much.

The first couple of times downstairs, I couldn't even tell which stripper was Chastity. I would have remembered if one of them was toting a sword. I hacked the computer in the downstairs office, where there was some way to control the window panels. I also ripped off the cash machine. But I couldn't get the customers to leave.

On a second visit, I still couldn't get rid of the other customer. I hung around a bit, and even tried talking to the guy upstairs, but nothing worked.

Third visit, that same customer was still there. I peeped thru that window and saw the dancer with the sword for the first time ever. She let out a shriek (dunno why, I'm playing a Gangrel with an appearance of 2) and runs off the stage. I ran over to the dressing room and fought her there, fire ax against sword. She hurt me but I killed her, and I managed to stay out of view of both the other dancer and the customer. Mission accomplished.

A question comes to mind: Where does she hide that big ol' sword of hers?
