The first half of the whole game right, the rest pretty much went downhill like Tony Hawks on a ice ramp.But I am really not a Buffy kinda guy so you let your mind decide the fate of your free time.

Yeah...there as a lot of discussion about that over at the Dilapidation boards. I guess they e-mailed some people or something...the taxi driver is not Caine, despite the name of the sound files. They went very in depth explaining why its not, and came up with possibilities of who he is. Apparently, according to the White Wolf canon, there was a guy parading around LA at the time Bloodlines was supposed to be happening who was claiming to be Caine or something. He wasn't really Caine though. He did, however, have lots of dealings with Smilin Jack. The real Caine, apparently, was still in some cave in Turkey.

Why do people need to find an explanation for everything, damn it? Can't he just be an ordinary cab driver? I mean the FILES' NAMES aren't actually part of the game and story, maybe the devs did that just so morons would bother to argue over it.

If he was an ordinary cab driver, then why was he all up in the game's face at the end cutscene with that black aura situation.

And I still want to know how to get the Kueijin ending.

yeah, the aura/smoke thing that made my computer chug at the end made me think "er....ok?"

But they do provide an interesting distraction when people like myself get bored with the actual game.

Suck in the sewers where you have the option of turning pumps on/off and electrical on/off...

don't know what to do.

(warrens 2 or 3)

Turn the electricty off then turn the pumps off. Wait for the pumps to shut down and then turn them back on at the panel closest to the end. Jump down and swim to one of the bilge pumps as fast as possible before the pumps start up again. Celerity is handy here.

Found out. But thanks =)

I got the mission to get back the nosferatu in china-town.. I decided to go back to my haven though, in Downtown, but I can't use the elevator... bug?

=/

Glad to know I'm not the only person who experienced that. If you need to get back to your haven, check downstairs. Theres an air duct you can scale to get around.

Ah! Great, thanks!

...lousy elevator..

Prepare yourself for shitness, Smiley. I have since returned Bloodlines and got my money back.

What place would let your return an opened/played video game?

Wolfman Walt · Post by **Wolfman Walt** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 5:28 pm

It's australia, everythings backwards and upside down there.

How were they supposed to suck the blood of a mummy?

Post by **King of Creation** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 8:37 pm

Its stupid.

All I can think of is that it was a plot from the begining to get the Prince, set up by Jack and the cabbie (who may or may not be a powerful vampire). The "powerful presense" that was sensed in the city was probably the cabbie or something, and it just coincided with the arrival of the AS, so everyone assumed it was the AS.

It seems reasonable to me, some shops here in the UK run a 10 returns policy, you can return your game and either get your money back or exchange it for another game within 10 days of purchase.

Electronics Boutique (videogame store franchise) has a 7 day moneyback/exhange no questions asked policy. Although they ask what was wrong with it all the time. I probibly will buy it again at a future date, but quite frankly I'm not paying full price for such a bug ridden game. I still have it installed though, mainly to get at the sound files still.
