Started a new game of Bloodlines as a Malkavian, modded to look less ridiculous. Again I'm struck by the implications that the Malk PC's madness is only the hallucinations, the dialogue options seem more like someone trying and failing to get into character as the terror of the night and missing the mark.

And honestly 'over-,enthusiastic LARPer' is not a terrible Malkavian concept.

Going for a Persuasion/Stealth/Melee build, mainly because going for guns would require using a lot of blood on Dementation until decent options become available, and partially because not going guns just let's me dump Auspex in favour of the two actually useful Disciplines Malks get. Now it's just making the knife work until I can do the boss fight which drops the first actual sword of the game.

(I was going to pick up a Tremere playthrough, but I've switched over to an SSD since then and I don't want to do the entire Thaumaturgy/Dominate spam thing.)
