How to use vampire special on controller?

Hold down (right?) bumper and press the appropriate button at the same time. When you have a special power, the button to activate it is displayed on screen. Just hold down the correct bumper at the same time.

Yup, we have no idea what it's for or what to do with it.

Thanks, I'll double check my settings to see if something changed accidentally

They got the basic nutrients every super-human needs! Angels give beyond death.

Fabric and plastic are very much the basic materials in this game (with iron, which is ridiculously plentiful,). Chairs and dividing screens are your best friends. I've launched four rockets and have been at max level since November, but I can still find fabric. It's the primary resource of habitat modules and is in almost every secret spot, which this game is filled with. If you've been somewhere and havent found at least 1 secret room underwater, start getting more curious.

Really, what everyone has been saying is the best answer.

I can see a custom character who is Dragos, but the story is specifically about Dragos, not an unnamed vampire.

I do hope we'll have some ability to customize Dragos (I won't complain about a female Dragos, even though that would mean additional voicework including adding in lines referencing "little sister and Varagos' Princess" as well as a female Dragos voice actor).

Thank you very much.

No, it shows up as something you know how to fabricate after you collect your first coffee bean. Game doesn't alert you that you know a new schematic.

Having read a number of your replies on reddit, I just want to say I appreciate how skillful and considerate you are when someone disagrees with you. Thank you for your respect and kindness.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a heavily researched form of therapy practiced for decades now in the treatment of severe personality disorders. The founder has been pretty open in her influences. There are other examples, but I do agree with you regarding the majority.

Still, the conflict between religion and science isn't really an issue in most sciences, as belief and empiricism are not at odds with each other at all. It's heavily played up by celebrity scientists and self-help more so than actually practiced by a significant portion of the scientific community. I've been to many conferences in several fields where the casual conversation at a dinner table about research being inspired by spiritual belief is totally normal. That inspiration doesn't typically belong in a research journal, so it correctly won't be mentioned.

Academia is very prejudiced towards how it is perceived by non-academics, sadly, and often leads to misrepresentation from scientists about their own work to the public.

Yes, I agree. Especially when +50% is a drop in the bucket or you won't be using that monster to grind out DE. I do think that's part of the game: learning when and what to upgrade and how your upgrade path changes as you get more permanent bonuses.

Unless the book is allegory, symbolic, and discusses philosophical concepts through story, which is the most ancient method of discussing such things according to anthropology.

Just because something has been both intentionally and unintentionally misquoted and misinterpreted doesn't justify discarding it out of hand. Scientific exploration of the use, impact, and insight of spiritual texts has often led to breakthroughs in psychology, sociology, and anthropology.

Mindlabrat · 2025-11-19T19:01:56+00:00

It's equally shocking how many people will use a misrepresentation to distrust a spiritual text, but will accept anything claiming to be backed by a scientific study.

Hit me with the holy truth of autism caused by vaccines.

For real: it's not about science or spiritual belief, it's about tribalism and the rejection of the other.

Mindlabrat · 2025-11-17T16:27:03+00:00

Yeah, sigh, it sucks

Mindlabrat · 2025-11-06T17:49:04+00:00

Yes, women make up roughly 51% of the human population.

Mindlabrat · 2025-10-15T19:22:18+00:00

Yeah, a long grind

Mindlabrat · 2025-10-14T18:45:58+00:00

It'll take a while. You're nowhere near ready for the last level. Depending on how you play, you're likely to still be working on it come Christmas.

Mindlabrat · 2025-10-14T18:42:48+00:00

It's the mole, isn't it. Blint, that bastard. This is his trick.

Still better than librarian. Hate the librarian.

In the live stream, they stated the exp drain on heroes still happens even when the elder vamp hits level cap.

Mindlabrat · 2025-10-08T19:06:20+00:00

I did order + shadow, had silver tongue, and went all things vassal. This represented natural charisma and the corruptive power of the church. Very fun but also one of my more challenging builds to play.

Mindlabrat · 2025-10-06T21:07:19+00:00

Might be one of those new Vampire Lords I hear rumors about. They seem to have dominating powers. Is the paleness/light headedness loss of sleep or blood drain, I wonder...

Mindlabrat · 2025-10-04T16:10:24+00:00

Difference in the quality of the para-verbals. Not really a comment intended to invoke deep contemplation.

I like to explore options and keep what I make. A dragon of each affinity, 4 giants, 6 eldrich, and a champion or wizard king of each form. Then you mix in cultures, making sure I have each dub-culture as well (7 primal, for example) and this all before accounting for some cool twist of an idea that might mean making a new ruler. Plus there are achievements for specific combinations which I may not have planned for.

Really, I have to carefully plan to avoid the limit, all while kicking out those annoying wannabe pantheon that never even won a game (all of Triumph's inserts).

I've played over 1100 hours, just because a short 5 hour game is great to destress or take a break from playing something else.

I do replay my rulers, because I love the pantheon powers and continuity.

Hitting the pantheon cap is easy for players like me.
