Fu Syndicate Workaround

Hello to Malkav and all you CE testers and lovers!

somethin i've been wanting to ask Malkav... have you by any chance gotten around to checking out Burgermeister's fu syndicate workaround? If so, would you be opposed to including it in CE assuming you get Burger's permission? My dream version of bloodlines right now is CE1.6 bundled with UP8.0+ and the fu syndicate workaround. (Not that you have any obligation to satisfy me in that regard, obviously!)

Similar question to everyone else here: Have any of you all seen the fu syndicate workaround, and what do you guys/girls think? Would it be a worthy addition in your eyes?

I haven't done it myself, and no savefile for cqm anywhere near Chinatown atm. But I have heard that it is good, and since the Fu Syndicate is rather buggy, I would be interested.
On the technical side, if Burgermeister hasn't kept records of the files involved, getting the quest out of cqm, and transferring it, might prove a problem.

I went through it, and have to say it's good if you don't feel like wasting your time jumping through flaming hoops for the Mandarin.
*Spoiler*, my lovelies.
Having said that, I prefer the 'fighting route'. The alternative saves only time, for me. It is enjoyable whilst you're wondering WHAT it precisely is, wandering around looking for clues. Beyond that, it needs a lot of Persuasion to do, and you never get to enter the Fu Syndicate itself, or meet Barabus. It's basically making a pile of phonecalls.

Long story short, it's too simple for me.

You should tell this to Burgermeister, either on planet-vampire (here : http://planet-vampire.com/forum/index.php?topic=5875.0 ) or on the forum of the mod (here : http://vtmb-clan-quest.forumotion.net/ ; I'll harass him so he checks it more often :p)

i found the detective work around the trash to be highly creative and it definitely took some time to figure it out... also, i found the phone calls to be really funny and well voice acted.


theres actually a few different solutions too i think depending on what you say on the phone and who/what you call
