character creation

Just one question: Does anybody ever use these silly questions to get their clan chosen for them?

-

Very rarely, I occasionally do just to play something to my mood but most times I go off the clan description for that anyway..

I have tried the questions a few times. It usually ends up giving me something I didn't feel like playing, such as Nosferatu, or Gangrel.

Nearly always, then I change the clan it gives me to any I wanted, because otherwise I woyld play Malkavian 6 plays out of 10 Sometimes it gives me Gangrel, Nosferatu, Tremere and that is OK, but once I landed with Toreador! Could you imagine it !? *shudders and whimpering*

Sometimes i do, but what it never ends up in the character i really want D:

You, Feral, being one of the pretty suckers
Nope, I can't see that. Well celerity and presence do make for a deadly fighter. And if you develope Intimidation to a level of art, there you are. But in that case, better play a Brujah; it will give you potence as well for close combat.

HAHA!!! This is a great question! And NOT to my surprise the answers you received are what I figured.

I'm like the rest of you, I would answer the questions, then it would give me a clan I didn't want to play so I'd end up changing it. I understand what Troika was trying to do and it's a fun idea if you're new to the game. But for the rest of us who have played this stupid game so many times, the questions are meaningless now.

(Not to hijack the thread) but I ended up removing the questions for TFN and instead made a menu that allows you to read an indepth history about the new clans introduced in The Final Nights. I figured I could make alot better use of the space than those questions could, so low and behold for people who like to know the backgrounds about the new clans, they can read a 2 page report on them. Of course the short description is still there during character creation, but it's more for those who like the lore behind it. In my opinion, these bios REALLY help you understand how to better roleplay your character.

Maybe you could do something like that, or find a completely new use for the questions?

A completely new use for the questions was my idea behind the whole topic.
I want to try if I can make some setup choices using this part of the character creation.
Something like aktivating the DJs or not, using vanilla or the CE music choices if this is possible. I'm not sure what is or is not possible.
I'll see what I can find out, and keep you updated.
