      A Malkavian PC figures out who their cabbie is late in the game and goes into a fit of screaming terror. Caine politely waits for them to finish.

        Yeah, that’s explained in the article.

        I actually love the lore of Malkavians. Coming across as totally insane, but it’s because they have this unnatural insight into things they don’t understand.

          My first Vampire character was a Malkavian inspired by Harry DuBois from Disco Elysium. He once horriffied entire Elysium, Prince included, by just picking up a cigarette and a lighter and taking a smoke to calm down

        I loved playing as a Malkavian. My late best friend said that it might not be best to play as a Malkavian for one’s first run at the game because of all the weird shit, and I replied “oh, now that’s sealed it for me, I’ve got to pick Malkavian”.

        I like how a perceptive player of a Malkavian can pick up so many hints and clues. Like how >!spoiler [minor spoiler][your character refers to Therese and Jeanette as “daughters of Janus”, or how the thinblood Malkavian near the start of the game says “don’t open it”]!<

        Edit: formatting

          Can’t do reddit-style spoilers on Lemmy. Spoilers are done with:

          ::: spoiler [visible spoiler message]
          [Hidden text.]
          :::
          

          Which looks like

          [visible spoiler message]

          [Hidden text.]

            Thanks for the heads up. Fortunately it’s only a minor spoiler, and it’s nested quite deep in the overall thread.

            It’s interesting because the spoiler displayed properly on my phone, so I wouldn’t have known if you’d not said. It’s probably unsurprising that my app uses the Reddit style spoiler, given that it’s Sync for Lemmy that I’m using. I’ve been meaning to switch to a different one (preferably one of the FOSS ones), but inertia is a bitch.
