i think sometimes you just have to hack & slash. i don't think gimble would've appreciated the seduction approach. i mean come on, the guy's nuts.
will i ever get to buy heavier weapons in this game? trip only sells me ammo for that gun i picked up during the tutorial.

oh and barb, toreadors aren't that bad, i think it's just that i'm lousy at fight scenes

Most of the firearms aren't that great, except for the Utica Bay shotgun & a few others. I found the shotgun and most of the others.

I forgot to snswer your question about the long load times, but there's nothing I can do. Everybody has the same problem. I have a fast computer, but it seemed like it took forever to load a scene! Very irritating.

I'm still working on the final monster in Redemption. Hopefully I'll get him sometime today!

Barb

too bad, it seems i spend more time staring at the loading screen than i do playing.

i'm kind of stuck, i can't get the werewolf blood because the computer that has the passcodes doesn't give them to me, although i hacked in and everything. and i can't kill the asian vampire because he's just too fast with that sword of his.
i also found some pills in the prescription room, what're they for?

Hello, I find as a Torry I definitely fight better with bare fist then any of the guns I have. Once I got to Fat Larry I bought a ton of stuff. The best for me is the axe and armor. I can just about defeat anyone with that technique. Although if it wasn't for the vitae I got twice now in the game I would have never made it. I just killed that armored giant creep at Kings Way Mansion. Now I am in the tunnels and a little nervouse becuase I don't have extra blood and no vitae. The Torry was supposed to be good at persuation like Barb said, but my girl isn't. She isn't good with lockpicking either. Although as you go through the game you get ep to add point to whatever you want. Barb, I couldn't do the crack house quest. After all that time I spent trying to kill Jezebel there was no flyer on her bed to give to the guy to let me into the crack house. Don't know why that was. Anyway, this game seems so complex and with so many character with different attributes and diciplines. Is Redemption like this also. I sure hope so.
Pat

Barb, how do you tell the main quests from the side quests? Also I found out what the tab key does. You can block blows and also depending on the firearm your using you can do fire instead of bullets. This is a peice about the tab key that comes up during scene changes.
Pat

I don't remember exactly what I did to get the werewolf blood. I know you have to get into the computer to open the locker that has the werewolf blood (it's in a different room).

That Asian vampire is tough. I just ran around & dodged him & hit him when I could.

The pills you found can be sold. I don't think you can use any of the pills in the game.

Have you gone to the Ocean House yet? That's my favorite part of the game- very creepy.

Barb

Hello again, I am wondering if anyone has been able to sell stuff to any of the dealers. I have rings, watches and other stuff and would like to get some money. I really have a money problem. The people that said would give me money has not done so. Yes, I have checked my mailbox and I am broke. Any help? Thanks so far for everyones help.
Pat

hi pat,
i haven't been able to sell stuff either. trip's shop doesn't buy anything off me. i blackmailed malcolm for 75$, but i haven't seen any cash off him yet either...
how do you get to the other places, like downtown?

ok, i figured out how to sell stuff at trip's pawnshop. made enough to buy that cool knife too. if i only i had that before i got to the asian vampire...

when you ask to buy something, your inventory will open up on the left side of the screen and his will open on the right. choose what you wish to sell, and the sell button will be where the equip (or can't equip) used to be. i sold some stuff i really doubt i'll need, like those rings and that watch. should i sell the car radio i found or might i need that?

Yes, sell the car stereos, that's all they're for.

You can't get to downtown LA until you've done the necessary quests - find the astrolite and find Bertram. After bringing the astrolite to Mercurio, he tells you about the warehouse & that you need to talk to Bertram Tung. Bertram is in hiding because of a feud with Therese at the Asylum, so the next step is to go to the Asylum & talk to Therese. She tells you to go to the Ocean House & get rid of the ghost. (You may have already done all this.)After you complete the warehouse, you can go to downtown LA.

Did you get the asian vampire, Lucca?

Where are you now, Pat?

Barb

got the asian vsmpire barb apparently i regenerate, he doesn't , that made it easy...

how do fulfill the "spiritual release " quest? if i return the pendant to therese will that be enough or is there something else i must do?

Yes, give the pendant to Therese. Don't give it to her sister, Jeanette. Jeanette will give you another quest to slash the paintings in the Gallery Noir.

As long as your blood supply is full, your body will heal itself. That comes in handy when you're in a place where you can run around & avoid a monster!

Barb

oh no, i already gave it to her sister.
should i reload?

i'm trying to find out about the beach boy's girlfriend, but i can't get a conversation about her in the diner. i also don't get the quest in my logbook. what am i missing?

did you start bloodlines yet?

I'm not sure what happens if you give it to Jeanette. I think I'd do it over. I don't think the poor spirit is put to rest unless you give it to Therese.

Did E tell you about Thin Blood and Lilly? If so, you should be able to go to the diner & talk to Doris about a pale girl who came to the diner. Then she should offer to give you Lily's keys & a bail bond.

I finished Redemption this morning & started Bloodlines. I'm going to try a female Toreador.

Every time I finish Redemption, I get tears in my eyes. I think it has the all-time BEST ending of any game!

Barb

so his name's E? how'd you tell?
i did talk to him, the guy with no shirt, and he told me to find out about thin bloods and lily, but i didn't get a quest in my log about it.
i also get nothing from the lady in the diner (except a 50$ bribe )
i must've missed something, but what?

it's not a main quest anyway, so i'll just skip it.

I think he tells you his bame is E. I don't know why you can't get the quest, unless you didn't pick the right conversation with him. Yeah, it's it's certainly not important, you only get 3 XP for it.

I just started the game. Hope I can get into it again.

Barb

Thanks Lucca for the tip for selling. I am so broke. Barb, I am in the sewers just after kings way mansion.

Yeah Barb, I am glad your going to replay as a Toreador. Maybe Lucca and I can help you out. You seem to be the master of the board right now. Thanks!

By the way, Lucca did you try the dance floor. It really is not worth it because you loose game time.

Pat

Hi Pat, money is a problem in this game. I think I had enough to get everything I need, but I was usually broke! Did you say your Torrie frenzied when she got on the dance floor? I had my Gangrel dance quite a lot & didn't have a problem.

I just got the astrolite & the morphine for Mercurio. I think I even got Heather ghouled! Now to see if she shows up where she's supposed to! I'm heading next to talk to Therese. Lucca, did you go back & give the pendant to Therese?

Don't you just love Jack? He's so funny. I also thought Beckett was kind of sexy! And Rodriguez, too!

I just thought of another weapon that was really powerful - the sledgehammer. I got it from Fat Larry. I couldn't handle the gargoyle with my normal weapons, but with the sledgehammer, he went down pretty quick.

Barb

yea i replayed. had to kill the blood guardian again, but he wasn't too tough. i want to replay and see what'll happen if i pick jeanette's personality. i'm i'll replay this game with a Malkavian next.
i'm in the warehouse now, sneaking up on thugs and slitting their throats this is too much fun.

A Malkavian! They're all insane! When I started this time, I answered the questions & came up with a Nosferatu! Of course, I didn't take it.

Have you done the Museum, Pat? I couldn't do it without killing some of the guards. Lacroix yelled at me, but it didn't seem to affect anything, & I still got my new haven.

Lucca, I couldn't do the quest for E, either. I got him to talk about Lily, but Doris at the diner won't talk about her.

Have fun in the warehouse! I thought that place was really hard!

Barb

yea, i from what i'm finding, malkavians seem to be pretty interesting, to say the least. if i hadn't let the game decide for me i would've probably chosen a malkavian. i probably wouldn't have gone with a nosferatu though, either.

can i do the "attention whore" quest without killing patty? as a toreador all humanity losses are doubled and i don't want to risk that.
i am now busy killing all the plague carriers. got jezebel so far and i'm looking for the rest.

how's it going pat, i'm guessing you're way ahead of me.

I think when you get to Patty, she'll attack you, so you don't lose any humanity.

Just checking in to see what's going on. Look like everyone is on track.

Barb,I'm not sure if my character frenzied or not when I got on the dance floor. I lost all control and I couldn't get her off the dance floor for a long time. Like 20 min. I just assumed she frenzied because of the lost control thing.

Lucca, did you put your Tory on the dance floor yet? Just curious.

I took a break from the sewers. I still have to go back. For me the most powerful weapon is the Axe along with the red suite. I tried gun fire again and got no where at all.

Pat

I got my Torrie to dance. I didn't have any problem getting her to get off the dance floor. She's a good dancer!

I'm doing the Ocean House now. That place is so creepy!

Barb
