I'll update the first post No need to quote

Do remember that some of these benefits only work on male or female characters. It would be nice to make the difference between them to see if one gender has an advantage over the other, also not to misinform new members.

Yami, when you update, please set a big spoiler warning into the title.

Intim: Vandal not only continues to sell you blood, he gives you a free sample; get Venus' quests without having to confess any sins to her.
Persuade: Vandal will continue to sell you blood if your Humanity is low enough; get $50 from the diner owner; find out the name of Hatters collaborator; get Flynn to tell you about DMP.
Seduce: feed on prostitutes for free; get VV to let you call her "VV" from the get-go; get Hatter's screenplay.

If you know which of these have gender restrictions please tell me.
Since I'm currently testing intimidation with a male gangrel, I can confirm that these work for male characters.

I can verify that all the Intimidate items noted to work with male characters also work with female characters. I'm currently running with a low Humanity/high Intimidate Brujah female (in the game, not IRL).

I'm not sure if Persuade is necessary to get the "easy way" quest path, but you get Persuade dialogue options when talking to the crooked cop on the Dane.

Edit: Intim or Persuade: Get Trip to sell you weapons. And I am not 100% sure of this (again for both Feats), get Larry to agree to give you discount after you complete the Traffik quest.

- Get Venus' quests without having to confess any sins to her.

Does this work for both male and female. I haven't proceeded that further, yet

Wow, the list is getting long I hope it will be of some help to our Devs

It works for female. Are there any differences regarding male and female characters with any of these skills, other than male characters don't generally get Seduction options with male NPCs?

Persuade and Dementation: Convince Tommy Flayton to write a bad review.
Persuade: Non-violent resolution with the Russian mobsters in the Empire Suites parking lot.
Dementation: Convince the Glock-wielding Russian mobster in the Empire Suites parking lot that his compatriots are salmon, inducing him to attack them.
Persuade, Intimidation, Seduction and Dementation: convince Empire hotel clerk to give you Jezebel's key.

Malkav, make my topic sticky

Disgusting.

Dominate: be ridiculed by Thérèse for attempting to Dominate her.
Persuade: how could we forget this: convince Copper to buy a stick of gum, a broken chair dowel and up to 3 packs of blood for $100 (more or less) each.

120$ each bloodpack

120$ each bloodpack

I never used to bother having a high enough Persuade that early in the game (even though it does not have to be very high) to do this quest, but with the email college, now I make sure I can do it.

"get Larry to agree to give you discount after you complete the Traffik quest."

This is persuade only.



You can also dementate/dominate Sabrina, the girl who knew you before you were embraced.

You can also save both Jeanette and Therese without persuade (but you need to be very very careful with all dialogue choices from the beginning through the end).

You can persuade Jack into letting you keep the gun in the tutorial...

Wasn't her name Samantha not Sabrina

Oh right

Sorry, too much Nickelodeon !

I am pretty sure I got an Intimidate option with my current game. I will restore from a point prior to meeting Larry for the first time (assuming I have one) to double-check.

Quote :

And Persuade. I'll find out about Intimidate soon (if someone else does not get there first).

Edit: no save early enough to verify the Larry discount it in action, but line 102 of larry.dlg has the PC asking for a discount with a Persuade of 5, and line 103 has the PC "asking" for a discount with an Intimidate of 5.

It's not. Intimidation will work also.

I didn't notice Oo And I've played intimidation only characters.. crap then !

(Oh, why have you opene dthis topic, we can all go through dialogue files to check this out, right ?)

Claudia, I don't know about you, but digging through .dlg files is not exactly what I call fun.

If I recall right, all the persuasion and discipline options work regarless of gender.

I can confirm it: digging through .DLG files is not fun.

Actually you can set it so if your character is a male or female, only then can they speak the line. So yes you can make that distinction.

Zer0, you're right there. But this discussion is not about what can or can't be done, but about what is in the game now.
And I don't think, any of the existing persuasion or discipline options are limited by gender.
