@livia said in Vampire 5E Games?:
@thenomain The TV talking to you was kind of neat, but arguing with a stop sign was pretty blah.
NO, YOU STOP!
(I would never say that V:tM-B is great writing, but sometimes it's okay to be twelve years old again.)

@Lithium: Yeah, but the Malkavian Madness Network is an absolute deus ex machina. I go for Ravnos because she never indicated any form of insanity or quirkiness, just getting overwhelmed with The Sight.
Mind you, I just used "overwhelmed" as explaining the PC Malk's behavior. Both Jeanette and Grout's madnesses were extensions of their lives, which is a lot of what made them great. PC Malk had no life before embrace, so anything I can use to justify their behavior is going to be subjective. Because of this I think any behavior portrayed by the writers were going to either be not-Malkavian or Fishmalk.
I'm glad the writers err'd on the side of Perkygoth. I thought the PC Malk was great for the game because all the rest of the characters were pretty much the same.
Except perhaps the PC Nosferatu. I heard that described as "Hard Mode" and have never seen a play-through with it.
