Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines, but I can’t kill anything

[@WanderingRagabond]

Having the power of invisibility and STILL often ending up running under a hail of bullets is indeed a very Malkavian way to live.

[@krisisgaming]

It fits the play for my playstyle so we’ll haha

[@yahya_elistinsary]

kind of makes sense, the malkavian is crazy and when they turn invisible its just them thinking they are invisible

[@outlandishowl]

Honestly I feel like the real challenge here is playing patchless bloodlines Also if you didn't know, you can complete the Elizabeth Dane quest in a matter of just a minute or two. If you hack the computer (or google the passw I mean use malkavian intuition to guess the password) and check the cameras, the game will consider the quest complete and you don't have to step foot near the shipping container section.

[@krisisgaming]

I’ll have to use it this next time, there’s still a lot to this game I need to learn haha

[@klimychbarin]

Can also get the reports and password from the crooked guard in the very beginning with high enough persuasion or intimidate

[@gobreen4391]

My absolute favourite part is the stupid dance you do in the nightclubs everytime I see the game it's all I can think about along with the music

[@krisisgaming]

The dancing is amazing, especially when the muck cuts out and your character just keeps on going haha

[@Scowleasy]

It also gives you a point of humanity if you do it long enough!

[@krisisgaming]

@@Scowleasy yes!

[@blueberriestea]

Love the music in this game

ISOLATED

[@Darkmage1293]

19:58 - If this was intentional.....I gotta give props to the team, I "love" how the lights from the buildings are perfectly level to be blood red eyes all looking at LaCroix.

[@krisisgaming]

With how much hidden stuff is packed into this game, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did this on purpose gaha

[@yuuzanami]

I'm more surprised you managed to capture footage for this game. Recording it is hell with how much it hates windowed or borderless fullscreen. Still, huge props for this.

[@krisisgaming]

I won’t lie, recording older games has been a pain but I’m glad on how it turned out

[@Gustmazz]

I'm so traumatized that when he said "HEY! YOU!" at the beginning I automatically thought "YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE"

[@krisisgaming]

haha oh noooo, the elder scrolls cant get you here

[@Mrmasterranter]

Playing as a Malkavian on a challenge that may send you almost as insane as one. The irony is almost too much

[@krisisgaming]

It fit the bill perfectly haha

[@mairaineplayzgames2205]

Hell yeah! he went with Malkavian!!! 19:32 the vampire hunter didnt kill the Malkavian elder, if you followed a sertain route with the conversation, he will say that he is suprised that the elder is already dead!

[@krisisgaming]

Yeah I know, it’s Ming xiao who kills him, I mention that later on haha

[@rudolphantler6309]

Nobody killed Grout. That is the body of a Toreador named Kent Alan Ryan who was somehow tricked by Grout to get killed either by sunlight, or Bach.

[@fylimar]

I mean, technically, it is Therese too on the cover art ... . And Obfuscate is the best discipline in the game for me.

[@krisisgaming]

Im aware haha, and yes obfuscate is fantastic!

[@Nightdreamr]

Humanity 10 be like

[@deazee2288]

Ah Malkavian, the schizoid vampire run Seriously this was a needed dose of nostalgia It's a shame this game never caught on popularity as it deserved

[@krisisgaming]

I agree. And it’s a shame because, he’s the game may be small, but the amount of stuff to do it pretty dense when you look at it

[@jamiemahoney2446]

No Patches? Release version only? Game ruining bugs? Ouch.

[@Haru-spicy]

for next challenge, can you beat VTMB if you kill every single person you are capable of killing (obviously in elysium you are prevented from drawing a weapon, but besides that)

[@krisisgaming]

Great minds think alike, i was actually planning on doing that for the next attempt, what clan would you pick for it? Gangrel, Nosferatu, or Tremere.

[@Haru-spicy]

@@krisisgaming Gangrel has a lot of bonuses to frenzy stuff, so having a low humanity like you presumably will shouldn't be as much of an issue. On the other hand, Tremere are obviously OP as hell. I wouldn't go nosferatu because you'd die from masquerade violations trying to slaughter everything

[@CERTAIND00M]

But zombies don't count; they're already dead.

[@krisisgaming]

I hear you, but they needed putting down so they count haha

[@ServantofBaal]

But by that logic, so are vampires

5:52 actually, to the end of that fence there is a loose board so you can sneak in and not be seen, even with 1 in sneaking. tutorialish section btw.

[@krisisgaming]

ill remember this for the next run

[@chrisdiokno5600]

Oooh. been a long time since I've seen a VtMB challenge run

[@krisisgaming]

I agree , let’s bring it back haha

[@ulkem]

As a note, I think of unofficial patch as the base game. Since Activision forced Troika to release a buggy mess and eventually studio failed. They even helped the patchers complete the game. Some unfinished assets were able to be recovered as well.

[@krisisgaming]

That’s what a few people have said to me, if I do another video, the patch will be installed, I’d love to see all the changes the latches make to the game

[@mad_dog_of_youtube]

For years I was under the rock and didnt knew this existed😂

[@krisisgaming]

It’s a pretty solid game

[@klimychbarin]

One of the best rpgs ever. Combat is subpar but atmosphere and writing transcend the mortal realm

[@krisisgaming]

@@klimychbarin 100% agree

[@rudolphantler6309]

If you wanna play something rare and unique try playing Female Gangrel "Beastmistress" (history) Stealth-Mage with Animalism, and rarely supplemented by Firearms! Also Unofficial Patch Plus latest version, max 4k graphics, and make use of Intimidation skills! Preferably not Anarch allegiance. And take great care to always have a lot of blood in your veins just as a minigame.

[@nealc.6927]

No, because you have to, at the very least, kill the Werewolf. And Bishop Vic, Brother Kanker & Jezebel Locke. Also, Andrei the Tziimisce, Grünfeld Bach the Vampire Hunter and Ming Xiao the Kuei-Jin.

[@krisisgaming]

Some of those kills I was able to skip, but yes you’re correct, there’s quite a few mandatory kills

[@ServantofBaal]

The werewolf is actually not only optional, but it's kind of a hidden challenge to kill it rather than just run away and survive

[@Religion0]

Reminding me once again that i should play this game.

[@krisisgaming]

You should!

[@arifhossain9751]

You know... Back in 2020 they were supposed to release the Sequel to this janky masterpiece, Bloodlines 2. It was gonna be a proper RPG immersive Sim. Then the studio was unceremoniously butchered and they are gonna release the game soon as a Tell-Tale-like walking simulator. The gaming industry is f*cked.

[@krisisgaming]

i keep hearing rumors about it finally getting close to some kind of release, but you're right, every time it sounds like its doing well, it gets passed off again.

[@outlandishowl]

@@krisisgaming Supposedly being released this year, though I'm not holding my breath on that. REALLY wish they would have kept the original thinblood concept rather than playing as an Elder because I thought that sounded super cool

[@mayhudson]

My wunderkind returns!

[@mikehawk8984]

Absolutely adore this game, and it's vibe and soundtrack live rent free in the back of my mind at all times lol. Although I wouldn't wish playing this patchless on my worst enemy 😂 If you're willing to go through this without killing I'd reccommend trying to do the same for the first two Thief games. Fantastic games that become even more so when played on the higher difficulties that don't allow any killing and extra objectives ✌️

[@krisisgaming]

Ill check out thief, my only time playing anything in the franchise was the reboot a few years ago, i wanna delve into other games besides fallout so ill add it to the list :)

[@mikehawk8984]

@@krisisgaming oof that reboot was rough 🤣😅 You can buy the best versions on GOG for dirt cheap, and I'm pretty sure they already come with the patches included that make them stable on modern machines. Hope you end up playing them, and if ya do I'll be there to see it go down 👌

[@davidofford6971]

When you're on the Elizabeth Dane, you can just look at the sarcophagus on a computer screen rather than having to get past all those guys. That should make it much easier to minimize the killing... unless that's a patch thing...

[@krisisgaming]

Im not sure, but Ive had a few people recommend that strat, so ill try using it next time if i need to be stealthy

Good attempt. And man, I forgot how bad this game looks without unofficial patch.

[@krisisgaming]

Yeah haha for the next run , i would definitely run the patch,

[@diamondhamster4320]

Well, in the TTRPG of WoD you can if the party and DM are on agreeable terms.

Lol you sold the pda from the group selling weapons to the bandits. You need it to give to freedom . You also need all the tools for both people upgrade .

[@DaedalusRaistlin]

Are you using lowered graphics settings, or am I misremembering just how bad this game looked? Perhaps it's bad stretching, that character creation UI looked so fuzzy. I once tried porting the entire game to a newer HL2 engine to fix input lag bugs and other stuff, but despite a few attempts never got very far. I did decompile all the maps and convert all the textures to get to play around with them though. The entity system was largely broken, but it was amazing how intense the Ocean View was even with half the scripting not working. This challenge brings back so many memories. This really is one game that would be improved so much by a remaster, but I doubt that will ever happen.

[@krisisgaming]

No this is just what it looks like without the patch, and a remake would be amazing, especially with bloodlines 2 stuck in development hell

[@DaedalusRaistlin]

@@krisisgaming Did you encounter input issues playing this run? I remember the controls locking up periodically when the game first released. All keyboard input and mouse movement would be stuck for several seconds, mightily frustrating!

Gee, what's up with the textures? Were you trying to make it look extra-retro or something? :P

Masquerade Bloodlines the buggy masterpiece even with fan patches and restored features, Kinda wish it was more polish and in a stable state. Done by Nightdive, or Bluepoint, or a company that does good improvements hd ports.

[@infiniteraide1642]

The boss that dives into the pool of blood and everything else after that. (I chose the "go against everyone" route meaning I had to struggle against Ming Xiao, the gargoyle and LaCroix's bodyguard.)

[@BlackWingGenesis]

Why would you not use the unofficial vanilla patch? Also why do the graphics seem to be on low settings?

[@krisisgaming]

i did change the graphics, but i think the patch helps alot, the reason i didnt play with the patch was that it changes some of the events in the game

[@jondm733]

I consider the latest UP plus canon, the vanilla version is not worth it to spend time with all the bugs and minimal options
