Bloodlines question

knob · Post by **knob** » Sun Nov 21, 2004 4:14 pm

I just started playing. I made a Malkavian and it seems like it could be fun, but I want to give some of the other clans a try. Nosferatu sounds like it could be a little fun, along all of the others..heh.

I was just wondering, though. If you skip the tutorial, it seems like you miss out on a few items. Are these valuable enough to make it worthwhile to go through the tutorial each time?

i believe completing the tutorial gives you two experience points. i got a crowbar out of it as well. what other items are available upon completion of the tutorial? i seem to have forgotten even though i just played through it last night...

[edit] ah, yes, the lockpick!

The items aren't worth much, probably around $150 or so and that won't make much difference in the long run.

Still, it's pretty useful to have these items early on, mainly for the free lockpick.

Also a baseball bat

The baseball bat is the thing I really want (along with the lockpicks).

Those lockpicks got me in trouble when I paid a visit to the Blood Bank and Clinic. A security guard spotted me.

So, I grabbed him, sucked on him a bit, then beat him senseless.

Where can you get lockpicks if you don't get them in the tutorial? I've never noticed them for sale... does the Pawn shop carry them, and I just didn't see it?

You can pick up the lockpick in the pawn shop

If you already have the lockpicks, they aren't offered for sale at the pawnshop.

A question:

Is there someway to turn the music down independent of the voice acting? I swear just like in real life the music is so loud I can't understand what the NPCs are saying. Most games have two sound controls, one for music, one for everything else, but this game only has one volume control that I can see under "Options". Thanks.

Not that I've found, Grif, and I really wish there was. I'd turn all the music off in the game except the stuff you're supposed to hear like in the clubs.

There might be a configuration setting you can edit files for outside the game, but I haven't really had time to get to it (been busy playing EQ2 and HL2...err, I mean working

). I'm sure there's a way to disable it, but I don't know that it would still leave in music where it belonged.

One thing that helps though, make sure your speaker setup is appropriate for what you're using UNLESS you're using headphones. I found that the sound worked much better at 5.1 than configured for Headphones when I was messing with it (in Windows, not in game).

Well, duh, I did finally realize that at least you can enable subtitles so that helps a bit at least . . .

I know what you mean though, I have exactly the same problem. I wouldn't mind being able to turn the music down a bit as well.
