In which we complete Leysha's mission! But probably not the way we were supposed to 😅

You could have sent two doses of Trajax down there ^^;
That guy was Quentin King, who you could have destroyed had you convinced Berel to let you help him (he basically was to stupid/unwilling to open the door and leave himself iirc). Hilda locked him up because Emem got hurt and he branded her for Emems actions. The current prince probably approves of Quentin being removed.
[It does as well explain how Wyatt got the blood of him that could be found in Galebs story]
Quentin King was a suspicious item and all the coolers with Trajax and you didn't look around the lab thing?
You failed the conversation with Leyshas otherself, I think, because you didn't care for Halsey (to her) and then basically told her to eff-off, which she did ending the conversation at 2 out of 4 or 5 challenges.
Plus the room with the swansong play thing held one more puzzle (of turning statues).
Then there was the option to talk to the random goons or press the "release pressure" button again, as you already increased the pressure.
The girl blew herself up where the elevator was, maybe they were chased and she cut off the rout to the team to cut them out.
In general, yes, there should be guides ahead to tell one to increase the fitting abilities/attributes, which the game likes you to guess.
I don't understand the concept of basically a visual novel, where one has to guess which attributes needs to be raised to actually get all the options (and XP). It isn't like different character builds can succeed at different things/paths.
Sadly, so far, there is no way to look the builds up without spoiling oneself.
Oh and for dialoge options, the ones with willpower/ability requirements aren't always the right ones.

Yeah see I am really not a fan of these dialogue prompts which may or may not come out the way you think they will. At least with VTMB you knew what you were actually going to say and had a fair idea whether it would piss someone off based on context.

[@JenniferFuss]

@@SplatterInker It would already help if the game emphasizes in a tutorial that not all of the expensive versions actually work for conflicts.

[@mercycunningham2813]

What you guys are missing is the fact that according to legend swans sing a beautieful but sad last song before they die. You are playing Bostons Swansong. The chance that everything goes well... meh let's say possible but very unlikely. It's the world of darkness not happy glitter fairy land. Give Strahd my regards btw. It has been a while.

Question for Cassandra, what was/is her favorite decade and why?

[@SplatterInker]

Yass more VtM!
Have to say though there's parts of this game which have been... less than engrosing
And the mechanics have been frustrating. There's- work it out for yourself - and then there's- good luck working it out!! There's been a lot of the latter here!

Cool ty

Bloodlines wasn´t the best game, but at least it knew what people wanted to do. Beat up shit, kill people, do cool quests. Yes, add some dialogue and stealth as well.
Do anyone really watch this and think "Yeah - running around in search for Trajax and Pneumatic tubes, thats exactly my definition of a good game. I like being a strong, cool vampire running around between pipes and laundromats reading QR codes". Some missions have been super boring and most of the quests are hard to understand if not even find. And why do you have to guess which abilities that will be used? Yes, that was in Bloodlines too but not this significant. Honestly, I feel for Maven and Paw having to play this. Its not that it isn´t interesting things at all, but the general route the programmers went make me baffled. A hardcore puzzle game with none of the humor from say The Curse of Monkey Island. Sigh...
Edit: Ok, the Leysha confrontation I liked, but its wierd and they should have made this more important to the general arc. This Juliette is clearly an important piece here. I don´t remember much about her though (it was a file about a patient of Richard right?). Are they trying to say that Halsey is real and that her name is Juliette? Even so, I don´t see why her self is trying to ask her what Leishas real name is. Why does it matter? She was (supposedly) bitten by Halsey and had another name before she decided to call herself Leisha. Why is this important?
Have no idea what Hilda is talking about, but it seems like it is a vampire rival that she has imprisoned somehow?

I’ve been showing my aunt a movie almost every Monday for the past 2 years or so but she absolutely refuses to watch any Vampire or Godzilla movies!
