Seems to me this happened on the first game I ever played as a Toreador and I did finish the game with the help of the Slayer, and a lot of labor. I just run out of money and low on point so It make it impossible to procure the goods I need and with little points for the things I do don't help me strengthen or upgrade any skills. I think the same is happening again.

Hawka, I think I do have the museum quest. I have lots of quests still; I'll have to check and get back to you.

Oh, sorry for an extra message, but how do I get an avatar? Hawka I am in the museum now and I have made it downstairs and just got the perscription bottle off the desk and picked the lock to go downstairs.

Babyblair, go to My Place at the top of the forums. Then click on My Profile and at the bottom of the page, you can pick one from the stock avatars if you want.

I finished with the top floor of the museum and am by the steps downstairs trying to get past the camera. I guess I am not really paying attention to what it is doing. When I played as a Malk, I went the other way on the green line and used Obsfucate to hide from the guard, then followed them down the hall. Guess I have to start shooting again.

Hi BabyBlair,

I downloaded a few patches. I think a 2.4 also. File Front has the patches if I remember correctly. Just search for the game and you'll find them.

You two are ahead of me though. I've gotten credit for all I've done so far though.

I think my game is OK, it's my mind that is not. LOL. I did get credit after the Grout mission but only after I reported back to the Prince.

Hawka, this is how I handled the museum and it seemed to be key. I didn't used weapons only combat and I got through it and didn't get any grief from from the prince. When I was in the computer room to disable the cameras 1 and 2 I could only disarm one at a time. A guard shot at me and I croutched down in a corner and he finally went away and I took no damage. The guard left and disabled the other camera. Oh I did beat up and fed on a few though. Life after that was good.

Maybe that was the problem, I didn't hide long enough, patience with me is not a virtue.

Has anyone seen Barb? I am surprised she hasn't be on board. I hope she is doing OK. Although she has played this game more than I have. LOL.

I'm still here, Pat. I've been engrossed in Call of Cthulhu and then Bioshock. I've played Bloodlines so many times & love it, but I need something new sometimes.

As for the museum, I've NEVER been able to do it without killing anyone. I know the prince tells you NOT to get caught, but it doesn't seem to make any difference if you do.

I think the next time I play, I'm going as a Gangrel. That's my favorite, & the Animalism spells are awesome!

Barb

Good to hear from you Barb. As I said though I killed, but not with any weapons and the Prince didn't scold me. So I think that it the key to that quest. I'd love to find a new game after this, but not sure if I need to update computer. Don't know what's out there. The last game I bought, can't remember what it was, I couldn't play. It was a $60 game. You probably remember. Take care!

Did you get Gothic 3? I know you played the first two. I had to upgrade my computer to play it.

We're leaving for Alabama tomorrow for a week. It'll be nice to get out of the snow for a while! I think I'll be ready to play Bloodlines again when I finish Bioshock. I'd also like to play Redemption again with everybody. That's still my favorite game.

Barb

Hope you have a great trip Barb!

Thanks, Nickie. I may be able to check the board while I'm down there.

Barb, the game was Oblivion. I never got Gothic 3. Guess who else might be joining in soon. The Slayer. I've emailed her lately and she is going to try it out on he laptop. Be nice to have her back.

I'm back. It would be great to see Lucca on the board again. I hope she can get on.

Pat, I didn't remember that you got Oblivion. You say you couldn't play it? It's really a good game.

Hey Barb, you are right I do have Gothic 3. Can't remember if it worked or not. Geez, maybe I played it and can't remember. That would be pretty bad huh? Oblivion did not work on my machine. Lack of something, can't remember what. Then I got busy with other things. Lucca is thinking of playing as a Gangrel.

I am now at the most frustrating part of the game. I cam dealing with opening the door in Ming's temple the one with the water wheel. I thought I wrote specific notes on that darn door, but I can't find them. Wish me luck.

I hated that door with a purple passion, I can't even remember what I did to finally get it to open. It is a sliding sort of movement, I think, hateful thing.

Heavens, yes. That was the worst thing to get to work. I think about the third time through the game I had it figured out. Somehow I have a feeling if I tried again I would be back at square one. Hateful thing, indeed...

The trick there is to save your game in front of the door. Then load the game & it will work! I read that somewhere & I don't know WHY it works, but it does!

I did remember about saving and I did that and it didn't work. It did work though after I shut my entire computer down, and rebooted and started the game back up. Go figure!

Hey, did you guys give up? I just had about 15 rounds with Ming. I HATE HER! I get so close, but not close enough. MING MUST DIE BEFORE I GO TO BED. I have 5 packs of blood and keep using different strategies. I will win this battle. Game on everyone!

Been there and done that, babyblair! Hang in there!

MING IS DEAD! SOON THE PRINCE WILL BE TOO. I do love this game because it is such a challenge. I can't think of any other game that can compete/compare with this one. What happened to the faces we could make?
