Storyline questions *SPOILERS*

Post by Jandau »

The man who wrote the story sure earned his money. Few recent games have such a satisfying ending. Most loose ends were tied, but I still have a few questions:

1. What happened on Elizabeth Dane? If Meseracht was just a corpse, then who slaughtered the crew? Jack?

2. What's the deal with the cab driver?

3. Why does Ming Xiao spill all the beans on her master plan (confessing that she framed Nines). It would make sense if there was an option to avoid killing her, but whichever plot line I choose (Camarilla, Anarchs or independent) the first thing I have to do is kill the Chinese.

Who is to say that the corpse sitting back Jack at the end was in there?? Maybe it was all subtile plot by nines, jack, or even caine to get rid of one annoying wanabe prince. Maybe there was an elder in there, or just maybe it was all contrived to pike the prince's interest just so the contriver could get a ton of high explosive up there. After all when it was opened the timer was down to 9 seconds and you know it had to be up there for a while since you end up getting for him and then have 3 more more major missions to finish.

Spoilers:




I believe Jack sneaked on the Dane, killed the crew and planted the bomb.

As for your Ming Xiao question, u CAN side with her at the end.

It could have been rigged so the timer starts when the sarcophagus is opened.
As for your Ming Xiao question, u CAN side with her at the end.

When Ming appears after the Hallowbrook Hotel mission, tell her that u believe her etc.
Then, the option to side with her will appear later on in the cab dialogue.

Not really sure if u need to say that u believe her as mentioned above.. but since u couldn't find the option, I believe u must.

One more thing: I was playing as a Tremere and on a table in the Chantry I found a book about thraumaturgical creatures. Can I create a gargoyle or is it just there for decoration?
