#VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE BLOODLINES SHERIFF FULL#

Whose office are you a few steps away from? The very outmatched Prince LaCroix, who's probably not happy about this. Who has been trying to kill you the entire game? Prince LaCroix. Who punishes Masquerade violations? Prince LaCroix. How, then, does that explain the Sheriff's Chiropteran form on top of Venture Tower? That's clearly a MASSIVE Masquerade violation, well in the view of several hundred people in adjacent buildings at least. The game makes a huge deal out of maintaining the Masquerade, to the point that when you accrue enough violations your game is immediately over.Being hypocrites they are in canon, werewolves will tiptoe around the city in the woods, fighting only small fish too stupid to actually get there, until the threat moves out. Instead there's Cain in the city, of whom even werewolves should be scared shitless (it's an official rule in Vt M that if you come across him and get into fight you flatly lose). Hence, they have more important things to do then mess with a few vampires in a city. So, there are Werewolves, notorious for their hatred of vampires, that are hanging out in Griffith Park? Why haven't they attacked the city before now? Especially when an Antediluvian is about to rise? Answer: The sarcophagus contains only explosives, and the werewolves with their spiritual powers know that.Let's not forget the power of Malkavian insight which often turns out to be correct. Or wasn't, considering that it was actually LaCroix who ordered his assassination, and the client is usually considered the 'original' criminal rather than the hitman, who could've been anyone. The final layer comes when one realizes that even this heightened awareness was a falsehood - the greatest danger to him came from Ming-Xiao, not LaCroix. This leads to yet another layer of fridge brilliance regarding the voices he hears: so far from being random babblings, they are a fine example of paranoia-as-heightened-awareness - truly an ironic affliction for someone who believes himself to see the truth more clearly than anyone else. There's a further layer of fridge brilliance there: what could be the greatest possible madness to afflict a Malkavian, who have incurable insanity as their hat? Being absolutely convinced that he is the Only Sane Man, of course.A less charitable description would be a sociopath who grows increasingly more cold and clinical in his thinking while distancing himself from emotions.

Later mentions of hearing voices are separate to his true insanity, which is his 'infatuation with reason' as he puts it. Why does Grout take so long to develop the madness of his clan? Answer, he doesn't.Or maybe it's because she's a stripper, not a poet. Why are VV's poems so terrible? Because, even though she's a Toreador who appreciates beauty more than other vampires, she's still undead, and most of them have lost the creative spark in the Embrace.The Malkavian even reveals to Rosa the end of the game, but it's possible to side with LaCroix and get blown up by Jack's trap - yes, the Malkavian is too insane to live. Even the chess-motif is similar to the mail you get. Also, the weird 'tuna-joke' the newscaster tells a Malkavian player? It's exactly what is happening, and might yet happen.

but now you're having the exact same problem that the other vampires have with Malkavians Malkavians can have insights into the future, but are too insane to convey that information in a useful way, if they're even aware that what they're seeing in their heads is anything but yet another hallucination. In theory, you could know the outcome very early just by paying careful attention to the dialogue.

The entire Malkavian route is full of Fridge Brilliance, because a good part of the story is hidden away in the twisted conversations before anything happens.

Yes, that, turns out to have been an actual hint. The endings in which you discover what is in the sarcophagus seem to come out of nowhere unless you remember that Jack used to be a pirate.

The Elisabeth Dane, a ship where the Ankharan Sarcophagus was discovered had all its crew slaughtered before the rest of the plot happened.
