Argh. Everybody talking about "voices" I finally dug out a set of headphones and played with. Now I'll have to play the whole game over as a malk just to appreciate it. Oh, and just got my pimp gear and dr. seuss hat. Gotta love it. Also didn't start watching tv nearly early enough. I've missed out on half of his weirdness!

[QUOTE=Hello_kitty]
When you ask Beckett what is in the sarcophagus
malk -"What's in the box?"
Beckett -"Why don't you put your ear against it, I'll shake it and you tell me what you think is inside"
[/QUOTE]

you can get this one as well with the other clans.
it's just that your reaction as a malkavian is a tad different :)

Do any other clans get any special stuff ?
The problem is that the people with the most ridiculous ideas are always the people who are most certain of them.

I chose the Malk girl because she was the one who looked the most like me. The hair, the face, I even wear schoolgirl-type clothes (but I am NOT a vampire! :p ).

Whenever I get those assasinatior's quests (go kill this dude) I put on that biker outfit, grab my Katana and sneak up on the bad guys sucking their blood or performing a silent kill. Hee hee! It's a bit like Kill Bill, don't you think?

Hey, is the butt part torn on the Heavy Clothing? I love it how it says "XXXploit me" on the back!

Yeah, the lady Malk gets a good breeze in the heavy leather. Slighty more than in her cowgirl outfit. I finally switched her to a him (console is my friend) because I couldn't take it any more. And the dude Malk in no armor looks a lot like Tyler Durden. That's my kinda eyecandy.

I wish I could...

ARGH...I really wish my computer smarts were...well, smart. Or smarter at least. I have read a couple entries on this post about changing your character's gender/race. HOW CAN I DO THAT???? I like my character and all, and I still haven't finished the game yet (this is my fourth time through, fingers crossed I'll finish this one!), but I am getting tired of my boring Ventrue's clothes and stuff. Is there anyway I can change her? Reading this post has made me nostalgic for my female Malk (my first ever game). PLEASE PLEASE tell me if I can change my character to something else. I will love you! Promise! Just remember to dumb it down for me, because I just don't get it. I won't mind if you talk to me like a two year old. Thank you. :D

NEVERMIND!!! I love you all anyway, and I now love this game WAY more then I did before! I have managed to find out how to change my boring, high and mighty ventrue to a fun loving, although psychotic malkavian!! Yippee! I forgot after four retries how much fun they are! And that vstat buy thingy is awesome too. My malk now has dominate, demention, and obfuscate (auspex too, but I'm gonna sell that one)...can anyone tell me how to talk to the stop sign? And when can I have a chat with the newscaster? :p Love ya'll!

Have to agree, played my first time as a Toreador relying on Celerity a lot. I wondered how I was gonna manage without it but the lines my Malk comes out with (yes I know they are scripted :p ) make me laugh out loud. When I persuaded the blood bank dude by laughing and made Chunk collapse in failure I was hooked. ;)

Gonna talk to my TV when I get back.

outfit for lady.

I think the heavy leather is hot. By the way what other clan could wear anything that has "xxx pilot me" on the back of it ???

The absolute best reason.

Due to the fact Cain himself worshiped the Moon and the Malkavian Clan is named in the Book of NOD a White Wolf publication says that " the Moon Clan [Malkavian]...Kinda funny that he Cain was more like a farmer and Able his brother was a hunter and sorshiped the Sun...Just a tidbit of info to all of you..

I don't know if anybody else mentioned this, I only figured it out myself having started a second game.

On the floor in front of the side door of the hospital, there is a blood pack that is seemingly painted on the floor. It drove me nuts trying to pick it up. When I played a game with Tremere, it wasn't there!

Some of those sayings are also in Tremere conversations because I came across a few of them myself. Playing a Malkavian is my next course of action, I gotta see the rest of this stuff hehe.

Most clans have a few dialogues that are specific to them (or specific to just a couple clans). The Tremere probably offer the third most unique game play experience (after Malkavian and Nosferatu), but they aren't even in the ball park of the first two clans. You'll love the Malkavian, its a totally different way to play the game.

When first time meeting Gary.

"Well I've got a Nines, a jack, and a prince and your about to deal me a queen."

"Your the new voice in my head? what happened to the old voice? I was just getting used to that one. Hello new voice."

"My mom told me never to talk to figments of my imagination."

When I play as a Malk, I can only hear voices when I'm obfuscating. How loud does the game need to be to hear all these other things???

I've heard weird noises now and then that I never heard as a Tremere, like walking down a street and hearing people talking but when I look around, there is nobody on the street, its just me... But loud volume and weird voices aside, just reading the response options is way to funny. Mentioned before I believe but convincing Samantha your her long lost pet turtle named Shelly is sooo funny.
Sam: "Wow oh my god Shelly is that you? Why look at how big you have grown. I'm sorry I flushed you down the toilet, I thought you were dead."

You: "I was in a deep sleep but don't worry about it."

Sam: "Well can I call you sometime? Maybe we can get together."

You: "I'll call you around christmas, we'll hook up for sure."

Sam: "Can I get a hug before I go?"

You: "Sorry... but what the other turtles think."

Sam: "Well ok but it was nice seeing you again, bye!"

I love playing the game as a Malk, but I'm a little irritated at the clothing choices for a male Malk (I haven't seen the female Malk "outfits"). I mean, I'm a crazy vampire, but I don't have to dress like a buffoon.

I'm in Chinatown and haven't been able to talk to any of the TVs or the stop signs. I must have missed something somewhere.
