Miscellaneous meanderings and myriad mumblings

Very briefly played Vampire the Masquerade : Redemption last night (cheap ebay purchase) - the Xplosiv 1.1 patched release works fine in Vista x64, incidentally.

After the intro shows a crusader being injured and cared for in a church, you are thrust into the action to slay two monsters attacking a nun, barely being able to drag yourself out of bed and sinking to the floor after defeating them.

The next morning, the nun casually mentions that the silver mine is infested with monsters and you have two conversation choices :

1) I'll go tomorrow and slay them all!
2) I'd love to, but perhaps in a month or two when I'm better.

As an amazing player, you are probably expected to chose 1). I chose the more realistic 2). The nun told me 'month or two? more like a year!'.

*ert* *ert* *railroad alert*

Enter the deacon or similar. 'The church is not safe. Tomorrow you will go into the silver mines and fight the monsters therein' (and undoubtedly get bitten by a vampire providing the whole point of the game).

Gee, thanks, railroad man..
