I am planning to go through bloodlines again as a nosferatu and i was wondering if you have to have a high level of persuasion to complete the necromantic quest for Pisha or if there is some other way of doing it (maybe with intimidation or something)

I ask this because i don't really want to spend too many points on persuasion because its not exactly the skill nosferatu should focus on.

(If there's no other way than please inform me of the level of persuasion you need for this)

As far as I know, and I may be mistaken, Persuasion and Domination are the only two methods of getting the guy to back to the basement of the hospital. That said, the persuasion feat requirement is very low. With only 2 points into scholarship, my Nosferatu was able to complete this quest.

Diy

My Brujah character didn't have enough social skills, so he just smacked in Milligan's skull. Then you go report to Pisha to get her other quests.

One teensieweenie problem though: by killing Milligan you commit a Criminal Offense, so as soon as you come out of the appartment building, cops will use you for target practice. But hide in the sewers and they'll give up quickly enough.

Just for the record: one of my former colleagues was called Simon Milligan. I nearly P'd my pants when first I saw on the mailbox S. Milligan ("no, it's not gonna be Simon, is it?) and then discovered on the computer in the basement the full name (Oh my god, it is!).

Don't worry - I have played as a Nosf and had no problems with this quest.
I don't even remember how exactly I completed it, but I am pretty sure that I didn't use ANY social skills at all.
I just scared the sh*t out of this guy with that wonderful face of mine.

So i can just kill the guy and complete the quest all the same?

Yep

But:
- you lose humanity
- you commit a criminal violation (persecution by police)
- you still have to report to Pisha for the other quests
- you rob Pisha of a tasty snack.

You will get the Masquerade redemption though.

I guess i'm cool with al that.

Muchos gracias for the replies!

Or you can go for the cheap kill.

The hospital is a combat zone, so just kill Milligan when you first meet him. No problem. No loss of humanity or criminal violations. Not nice, maybe, but very effective.

And a big time-saver to boot. That's why I like getting several brains on the same problem. You always come up with some lively innovations. Thanks for the idea. I'm sure I can extend it to any conceivable Nth degree.

If your that worried about Pisha's empty tummy then just send her 'Patty', sure you lose humanity but you gain a nice Masquerade bonus and XP from Skelter :laugh:
