A few random questions.

Hey, i'm probably a new face around here so i'll try to make this short. I really enjoyed CE and think it's a brilliant mod, but I do have a few questions/bugs that I came by in 1.4, hope someone can help me:

1)When you get Slashterpiece from Jeanette and are told about the charity box and where the money is going, i got a humanity loss ; Is this suppose to happen?

2)After Traffik , the option to persuade Larry for the extra point in finance never came up, but i did get one point in haggle that i couldn't account for.

3)The dominate response during Necromantic, when you need to get rid of the guy that managed to escape the hospital, never came up as well. I presume this is intended?

4)Same with the persuade option when talking to Boris about Venus ( i had persuade at 5 or 6 at the time if i remember right).

5) The library card that Heather gives you is the same one for Haxxor quest right?(i didn't get that far on my current playthrough)

6)And finally the new quest, that starts with "Bertram needs you" (that's the name I hope): what's the exact time frame permitted?Failed it since I didn't delete the reports in time, plus I didn't even notice I had the first part of the quest to start with. (got the picture then sent the email).

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Yep. You have to remember; your taking charity money. So whoever needed that money, isn't going to get it if you take it.

I can't answer the others, unfortunately.

Welcome to the forum Quies.

If your Humanity is high, accepting the quest without telling her you won't steal charity money costs 1 Humanity, in addition to the one lost during the actual theft. It's as though you're considering it. Did you respond with the lines "I'm not stealing charity money" and "I'm not stealing charity money but I'll do the rest"? Those are the lines that keep you from losing Humanity.

Persuasion has to be 5 when you take the Traffik quest to get the finance boost. I've never had any problems with that.

You need 3 dots in Dominate to make him forget. Makes sense, since 'Forgetful Mind' is a 3-dot power in the PnP game.

This one I had Persuasion 5, and I had no problems, either using persuasion to get past the guard outside, or talking to Boris. Don't know what to tell you here.

In this mod (at least as of CE 1.4), the library card is a boost to your Research feat, not a quest item.

I usually wait until after the Elizabeth Dane quest, since I'm going to Santa Monica for that one anyway, but I always finish it before I go to Grout's mansion. Not sure what the hard deadline is.

Anyway, hope that answered most of your questions.

For Bertram needs you, here is the dependency.

"dependency" "G.Cathayan_Sent == 0 and G.Story_State >= 30"

Once you go past Story_State 30, it automatically fails the quest, however there is a glitch. It shouldn't fail the quest if you didn't even start it, and this bug has carried over to TFN. Once I fix it, I'll send it over to Malkav to put in CE, unless he fixes it first then vice versa. Either way it will get fixed.

Your best bet is to do this quest at the same time you go after the Cathayan, pick up the quick XP. Also in TFN this quest runs even further, it's the quest that introduces you to Akeem, the book dealer in Downtown.

Ok here is my second post. I was looking at how the Bertram needs you quest is setup. I made it so that you can't receive the failure email unless you've access the Cathayan's computer at some point in the game. Also I set it so you won't get Knox's note to check your computer unless you've access the Cathayan's computer at some point as well.

I haven't tested this yet but nothing should fail and no notes should show up unless you've started the quest now. I'll let Malkav know of my fix for this.

Edit: Nevermind on fixing Knox's note, it wasn't broken, just the failure email.

Hmmm interesting, come to think of it, I did have 3 points in dominate when talking to the guy, but only upgraded to my 3rd point during the quest, not before it. Same with the other persuasion checks. Well thanks again for the answers, much appreciated

When I went back to my saved games, I didn't add that third dot in Dominate until just before I found him in his closet. I got both the Persuasion and Dominate lines when we spoke. Sometimes there's more than one requirement. Is your Humanity high? Maybe if it's low, you don't care enough about saving him to bother erasing his memory. Just guessing.

Zer0Morph? Is there some other requirement before you get the Dominate line? Humanity, or Persuasion perhaps?

Yeah it was pretty high, I think I only lacked a point from max.

Hi Quietus,

welcome to the forum

For dominate, you have to be Ventrue to get the higher dialogue options. Tremere only get dominate 1 in dialogue. This is the usual setup from Wesps patch, and I didn't change anything about it.

The Bertram needs you quest must be completed before you set out for the museum.

For Larry, you have to ask him for a discount (or a big piece of the cake if you are Malkavian) when you accept the quest. You need persuasion 5. This also isn't CE specific. The "discount" is a +1 bonus in haggle.

The haxxor quest and the poster quest have been changed. You'll have to send different items.

In the slashterpiece quest you lose humanity if you agree to take the money, no matter if you actually take it or not. If you tell Jeanette you won't steal the money, but take it, you'll lose humanity then. It was set up like this for CE 1.2. I'm not sure if I changed that for 1.4, but I don't think so.

I didn't make any changes on the Boris dialogue. Usually I dementate him to shoot it out with Dima and then silently kill the surviver. I know you can persuade him to give the club to Venus, but I'm not sure about the requirements.

Hope I got all your questions covered.
