I was just wondering if u can use the console to skip the Calling Dr. Grout, Patron...Ancient Arts, The Epic...Sarcophagus without having to trigger any quests. Haha do not ask why :P

Probably not without killing the savegame your trying to use it on, thats most of the game, which means lots of codes to be entered due to having multiplue states on each quest, at least imo.

Very likely true, Acleacius, but there is a shortest possible path through the game, as well. Some quests are totally optional. For example, in Santa Monica, all the quests for the Bail Bondsman are strictly optional, as is the one for the Kuei-Jin. In some cases, skipping an optional quest means nothing, in others it means that you will have to miss something interesting later on, or that dispositions of other NPCs might be different later on. Maybe it will just mean that you missed out on some cash, or some XP, or some semi-intangible reward (like a humanity bonus).

Yes thats correct, though as far as I can tell muh_toxicity named all Main Quest which are not skippable, well not without alot of trouble as I listed above. :)

You if your bored of the quest or something you can always spice it up by adding addition Disciplines to play around with if you have never used Celerty, Obfuscate or Thurmtology they are fun. :)

First add -console to end of your desktop shortcut so it looks like this
Vampire - Bloodlines\vampire.exe" -console
Then when the Main Menu comes up type in
sv_cheats 1
Then hit the ` key to close the window and load your game normally.
Then hit the ` key and type with # being how much xp you want to add
giftxp #
You will need 10 xp per discipline you add, so once you go to your character sheet you will have a new discipline, you will need to add another 10xp to get first level and so on.
You can have up to 5 disciplines and you shortcut window [default k] will still work, if you add 6 discipline shortcuts will stop working.

Oh I almost forgot, once you have your xp, type
vstats buy celerity
or whatever you wish, you should see a list of available choices.

One way to skip ahead without doing quests would be to raise the variable G.Story_State...

I've also been looking for a cheat to skip Calling Mr. Grout, but that's the only mission I want to skip. I know there is at least one cheat to completely skip quests, but it's for the Ocean House mission.
