Let's Play: Vampire: Bloodlines

[Amake]

I've tried this game a number of times, each time weighing the character creation options carefully and considering how the playing experience might be affected by previous experiences, and each time ending up with a female Malkavian. So I might as well throw my vote in with the landslide victory side.

[Seil]

Male Toreador.

[Krylo]

I'm disappointed in you guys.

We already know how DFM plays a female malkavian.

We see it every single day.

[Jagos]

Any better ideas Krylo?

I'm going with a Female Leroy Jenki--- er... Brujah or the Female Malkalvian.

1st choice is Malkal though.

[Odjn]

Goddammit, why is it people always ignore the badass warrior for the loony worthless guy?

[Solid Snake]

I'd rather be Female Tremere, to be honest. Or Brujah. Or any of the races other then Malkalvian.
I understand Malkalvian's going to win, which I personally view as unfortunate. As fun as the Malkalvians sound it seems to me to be more a great Let's Play option for a second playthrough, so that those of us who've never played the game before can get an idea of the major events of a "generic" playthrough as opposed to seeing a secondary offshoot first. I'd compare it to why I wouldn't want my first Fallout experience to be with a really ridiculously dumb character with low INT stats -- it changes the game experience to the point where you're really not even playing Fallout anymore and experiencing the traditional game as you should.

::shrug:: I'll still be interested in the topic regardless, though.

There is always Kratos, Lara Croft, Ryu Hayabusa, Kane, and Tidus Wakka.

How many times do you get to see someone that's so out there that they make no sense whatsoever? :p

This is exactly correct. A big appeal of the Malkavian playthrough isn't just that it's different, but that it's almost a giant "Behind the scenes" look at what was going on in the game world that you wouldn't appreciate if it was your first playthrough.

I mean, I'm not going to ban people from voting Malkavian or anything but I will regard all those posters with contempt. >:[

(And if you change your vote to something non-malk then I WILL do a second let's play as a Malkavian. Or have someone else do it if this one really sucks horribly)

[Solid Snake]

You could always just eliminate Malkavian as an option offhand as the LP creator, and only count non-Malk votes, but after having created the topic and after including Malks as an option, that might seem like a bit of a douche move. I'd support you wholeheartedly, though. =P

Gonna switch my vote to the, uh, last one. Ventrue. Right. A female, for sure.

Because causing an aneurysm with a sentence is but one of the many weapons a Ventrue has at their disposal.
