I bought the game today and am awaiting delivery, however i am an exceptionally impatient person so with RPGs i tend to look at what characters i can be and, in effect, plan them before i start!

I have been looking at the disciplines and i would really like to use Thaumaturgy, Dementation and Dominate, i dont know how many i can concentrate on, however even 1 of those three look like fun to use! I would also quite like to be the 'intelligent' vampire class who can talk/think their way out of situations without having to resort to a masacre.

My main question is which clan should i be in to incorporate the 'intelligent' aspect and any of the disciplines i have listed? And which stats should i concentrate on?

Also, i see there are unofficial patches and i was wondering if it was worth installing the latest of these and the latest official one? Also, has anyone fixed the gun damage, as i read that they are majorly underpowered making them virtually useless unless you have a very high weapon (or is it firearm) skill? (I thought, maybe, this would be in the unofficial patch)

Sorry if some of these questions seem stupid, but as i said i have only ever seen screens, videos and read reviews of the game!

Thanks
