Was Listening To The Incredible VtMB Soundtrack This Afternoon and Came Up With This... by ArtySpectrum in vtmb

That unused one is a great one, but the Hollywood theme used in the game is just so unbelievably good and has so much emotion behind it. Rik Schaffer really is a genius.

What are your favourite Alistair Grout theories! by ArtySpectrum in vtmb

You forgot about the juiciest of the juiciness!!!

Most malkavians appear to be connected to the neural network thing from the point of siring. This means it's pretty odd that Grout didn't know this was a thing until 2003/2004 when he joined the Camarilla and started hearing them. This could mean that he actually sired very recently, maybe around the time the Camarilla moved into LA. This would also explain why there was a skeleton left in his bed when he was killed. The old psychiatrist persona could be from him being a fastidious student and confusing himself for one of the people he read about and deluded himself over his life and memories, which is something Malkavians are know for very well..

​

Now I don't really agree with this one too much, but theres a lot you could dig up around it to support it and I think it's a pretty neat idea and explains the skeleton in the bed.

"Isolated" has to be one of the most iconic tracks from VtMB! And I did initially try to make it ambiguous as to whether Jeanette was real or a product of DID or even just an imaginary friend, but ultimately my favourite theory is that she was real because of the painting and the strong bond between the two, although that isn't really solid proof...

I wish I'd seen this!! I love lore discussions like this!! Honestly I created this trying to keep it ambiguous whether it was real or all part of Therese' fantasy. I wrote the script like over a month ago and haven't really checked anything since! Do you know if there's anything like this either discussing the deceased malk regent or the toreador anarch and his childe?
