6/24/2023 0 Comments Vampire combat flowchart![]() Seduction is somewhat useful to female characters but you don't really need to bump it up to more than 4 unless you're specifically exploring what it is like to be a seductress. Of the three, Persuasion is the most useful one and eventually you will have good use of it at level 8. If your 'Feat' is not high enough, the option does not appear as options during the conversation. Intimidation options are green and Seduction options are pink. Conversational 'Feats' are also straight checks: If your Persuasion is high enough, blue dialogue options appear in conversation. When you lockpick or hack, the game will tell you what level the lock or computer requires to open. Same with computers: You need to equal a minimum 'Feat' level for every computer in the game. Your lockpicking 'Feat' stat does not improve your chance to open a lock, it straight up decides whether or not a lock can be opened. That being said, it is worth mentioning that while there are invisible die rolls during combat (random damage), other things outside of combat are NOT random. You are not looking for rich synergies to help you overcome tough odds, the game is slowly introducing tougher enemies but nothing so intense that you will be fighting using all your wits and getting the most out of your character build. The character building system only slightly improves the core gameplay. I know I'm oversimplifying things by saying this, but the core gameplay is very simple. They add some flavour but they are all very situational, you don't need to invest early. I'm not a fan of the clan specific "Disciplines". Guns are quite terrible until the last act of the game, but by the time you reach Chinatown it is a good idea to start investing in them. Melee weapons are quite decent early in the game and can last until the end. Also, avoid investing XP on things that are only modestly helpful, like Investigation and Sneaking, it makes very little difference. For a first playthrough I advise against investing heavily into any one thing so that you can try on lots of different things and not be wasting XP for minimal improvements. I'm not being facetious, the game is really quite easy. Whatever you want, there is no optimal first playthrough.
