If I recall correctly, you have to drag the wooden bar. Similar to how you can drag around chairs and other objects.

I'm currently using the "true" 4.04AT patch and didn't have any problem like this.

I hope that's what it is, because it adds a brilliant bit of depth to the game. The guards aren't just obstacles for you to overcome, they're real people that have to make decisions based on what they know.

The ending sucks!

Death by stupid dialogue options. All blacked out because of spoilers:


I went for the independent ending. I want nothing to do with the stupid politics of LA, I just want to kill the people who are trying to get me killed, and stop the people who want to destroy or unbalance the city. So ...

LaCroix Must Die!

I'm nearly at the top of the Venture Tower, and I noticed something weird: (spoilers blacked out)


I'm on some roof, and the Chiropteran Behemoth is flying about. But I'm not alone on the roof. There are vampires (Gangrel in warform, I suspect), who also attack me, but also guards, and while I'm ...

Thanks, Jhereg. I ended up killing him in a slightly different way: (spoilers also blacked out)


I didn't think to run through the building, although I get the impression that each doorway slows him down a bit, so it's good advice. It's just that the building was a maze to me, and I didn't have ...

Griffith Park (spoilers)

I'd already read rumours about an undefeatable werewolf somewhere, and (spoilers!) that he could be killed by crushing him under some door somewhere . So this is where he is. And the guy is fast! Well, acutally, not nearly as fast as I'd expect a werewolf to be, but too fast to shake him. I can't ...

They're assasins. One is relativelyless evil though.
I knew the spoiler part, but I've never seen any significant difference between their ethical outlooks. They're both afraid the other will kill them (and they're probably right), and they both accuse each other of the most horrible stuff. I have ...

I always play Tremere, merely because they're putatively the hardest to play (although all have their weaknesses).
Tremere hardest to play? Are you serious? Tremere has IMHO the most flexible Discipline in the game, although it might take a while to master all the different powers that Thaumaturgy ...

2) Some of the bosses are very large, so if melee or brawl is not cutting it, get in close with the Spazz on full auto, retreat, reload, repeat. Even with a ranged skill of 4 you might be okay.
Or the flamethrower! Okay, it's very late in the game, and it's not exactly subtle (even compared to a ...

I've never found it easy to sneak, maybe because I always see the worst bits (Like Hallowbrook) and don't see the possibilitiy for sneaking, even at level 10. NOTE: The highest I've ever had sneaking on was about 4 ...

Sneaking is level-dependent, as is everything else, but it doesn't depend entirely on level. Position. Lighting, Approach. None of these things enhance the sneaking feat, but they are all important when sneaking. I've gone down the long hall in the Hallowbrook where there are four heavily armed ...

2) Never put any points in Firearms or computer. With a research of 3 (1 Intelligence + 2 scholarship) you can buy 2 firearms manuals and 2 computer manual from Trip at the very beginning to boost both of these to two.
Also, at the start of the game, guns aren't very good, and you're usually best ...

Generally in Chinatown i can persuade Lu & Ji to kiss and make up and get the extra XP points before killing the evil one (cannot remember which) and taking my 80% cut of their money too.
Is there only one evil one? My impression was that they're both equally evil.

Celerity would not help against the current realistically, since it's basically vampire speed. The water would not move any faster and still be an obstacle that you'd need to break, being more resistant than air. It will help to beat the time when you're moving through air before reaching the water ...
