Probably something of interest is that Calisto will be crashing at MC and Sharon's place for at least a night, meaning that she may be with MC throughout the next couple of nights, especially if she wishes to see the cave that has MC scared.
If you remember from the second episode Calisto said to MC we can finish what we started and that was the sex. And probably now she definitely interested in the cave

If you remember, you'd be aware that the Dude has an erection only when he bites humans and drains their bloods and with a lot of effort. Therefore... sex, you said? :confused: what sex!?! :unsure: these vampires are more interested in collecting stamps and train sets.

Aren't sleepovers a little dangerous for vampires that don't bring any thralls to protect them? I didn't notice her bringing anybody besides Cindy with her.
Carmen probably wasn't the muscle of her hunter group, but at day she'd only have to deal with Andrew and I'm not sure he's much into protecting Calisto, considering how she treated Sharon.

Don't think thralls will help here when it comes to Calisto. Who's going to tell her to leave, MC? No way he has the power to deny her. Sharon is in a much worse boat since Calisto doesn't give a damn about her and would probably drain Sharon just for fun.

I definitely hope so. She's powerful enough as well, so maybe she can resist whatever the force there is. Given the power it clearly has had over both nosses, though, it's equally likely she herself is scared of it and doesn't want anything to do with it.

And if the skalds don't know what the dreams (visions) could be, hopefully Calisto will either already know or will know how to find out. She's been around since the dawn of time (figuratively), so you'd think she'd at least be able to properly investigate, even if she doesn't know offhand.

No, I mean during the day vampires are out cold and helpless in this game.
But, according to one of the blood dolls that was shocked by Laurie drinking from the MC, it seems like Calisto and her retinue don't have any thralls for protection during the day. Maybe they've got another solution.
I just hope it's something that makes the silly bed time routine less relevant. Watching them bathing, going to sleep and waking up again once or twice every update is getting kinda stale.

Hiereiai is the plural, much like the royal We. There are more than just the one priestess (Calisto), however I will go back and double check on that intent.

The fear and the "thing" in the cave is something beyond Calisto's ability to handle. It is as legendary to her as she is to simps like Sharon.

Laurie speculation. If she is going to be saved from doom, it will be by Sharon. That likely means by embracing her. Whether it costs Sharon her life or not remains to be seen. *meaning does Sharon choose to save Laurie instead of saving herself.

Carmen is almost definitely going to become a Vampire under the MC if you have been good to her. She will likely not be alive if she does not become a vampire or a thrall soon.

Calisto has fed the MC her blood once. She may well intend to complete the blood bond while she is here this time. That may be more important than the sex she may or may not have with him. (Blood Dolls can tank him up if needed, Carmen and Laurie if needed as well). Personally, I do not care if there is sex in this chapter with her or not.

The guys have not posted a road map for the rest of the chapter. What is almost certain is that Calisto is away from the Temple and now is a chance for an enemy to strike at her. My choice is Virgil/Arca as I have said many times. Certainly some pieces are in play to make that happen.

Calisto is in charge of everything around her... that she knows of... but not necessarily by direct blood bond.

We shall see how it goes.

With the Princeps' knowledge of Astrid being held(could mean direct action), Virgil activity, Eloise in town, Malia likely in town, Marcius having interests in town, Marcus having two crazy Nos in town-and likely coming to see what is up, Fabian, Cindy, Calisto, Sharon, and the MC in town, dark and scary in the cave, Vision Girl in our head, our latest weird vision, large hand tools, , it is going to potentially be a real blood bath soon.

Tarantino style..... with rubber gloves and boots and a rain coat not included.

Good stuff!
Peace

Knowing Calisto, even during the day, she's safe, even without thralls to protect her. If she's based on the Tremere clan, then let's just say it's just as stupid to try and attack her during the day when she's asleep as it would be attacking her while she's awake, because Tremere have weird rituals that keep them safe even during sleep.

Actually, could you imagine the twist, if Calisto promises to tell the MC all about his lineage, but then she doesn't make it to the next night, because she gets staked in her corpse state by the hunters Sharon carelessly kept under her roof? Now instead of answers the MC has some powerful cousins coming for him.

This game is the ultimate blue balls sim man. The story is really good so far dont get me wrong, but all the girls are just gourgous and can't do a damn thing with them.
mc has fucked carmen once and other woman once but again mc needs to be blooded upto nostrils to have erection (unless mommy "dearest" knows other way).

as for mommy's protection when she sleeps: i'm pretty sure she has counterspells which prevent harm from humans at least.

Cindy will kick anyones ass that tries anything funny with Calisto. People think she is a thrall and Cindy is absolutely not one
She is probably older then Fabian and he is pretty old

So true, she can probably do a lot more harm to anyone who tries anything against Calisto, and it's honestly smart Calisto uses someone who looks innocent because no one would actually expect her to be a threat.

I'm playing with the mod installed, and I was just wondering if it's causes glitches in my game, or if it's just typos in the original script.

For example, I didn't get claws, got shanked by the Hunters, but then had them and used them against the ugly naked vampire in the asylum. Or MC testing out his invisibility powers while meditating despite never unlocking those either.

Or, I met Malia and got Laurie's job back while learning she's a Vamp, and then later when reporting to the Archon, MC is shocked to see her and "realizes again" that she must be a Vampire.

Asking Laurie for permission to drink from her, she says go ahead, and then the text says "Without waiting for permission, you bite and blah blah".

Don't mean to cause a stink, because it's far from bothering me, but I do just want to make sure that that's the way it is, and not issues I've created by installing the mod.

Cindy is so devoted to Calisto, I would assume she's been with Calisto for forever and isn't just a mindless follower. True, she apologizes and is very humble to Calisto, but I'm pretty sure there's a very good reason for it. Not knowing anything about the backstory of those characters really, I can imagine, just off the top of my head:
Perhaps Calisto met Cindy during the Middle Ages and saw a group of assholes ready to rape her or some such crap that was more common and unpunished back then. Calisto slew all of them and Cindy has looked at her like a mother/protector ever since, even finally getting her wish and being embraced to defend better the role model she loves.
And, of course, there could be many other backstories that equally well explain their relationship and support the idea that Cindy is no mere thrall (which I agree is almost certainly true).

Despite the issues with this site I managed to download EP 1 and EP2 (I'd deleted them to save space). I've played EP1, EP2, and the current release of EP3, pretty much without pause. This exercise has given me additional insight into and questions about some of the story.

Did Calisto leave the MC to die?

Yes. Fabian remarks that Calisto will be (surprised or angry - I forget) by the MC's survival. Calisto herself tells the MC she's surprised he survived. So any notion that she gave a single shit about the MC when she turned him is not supported by the story.

However, given that he did survive, his unusually rapid growth in power and the diversity of his powers, she now seems interested in him, or perhaps his progress. Clearly, she knows what powers he's going to inherit and apparently she's willing to teach him powers as well. Perhaps it's a leg up on powers he might inherit anyway, or those powers will be in addition to his heritage. Her interest may be simply for her entertainment (remember their initial conversation about how bored she was when he met her), or perhaps she has some plan for an unexpected resource.

Why does the MC "sleep" so late?

Fabian is obviously much older than the MC, yet he wakes much earlier. He comments that the MC "sleeps too late for one so young". The narrative is designed to suggest that, because the MC was turned by Calisto, he has the power of an "older" perhaps much "older" vampire than a vampire so newly made.

----------

In an earlier comment I pointed out that the pace of this story has picked up. Reading/playing all three episodes back to back, I now think that, except for the lack of progress with regard to sexual interaction, the pace was more consistent. However, a great deal of the pace was on story fragments that haven't advanced the central growth of the MC. This results in a sense of stagnation, because those of us who don't live and breathe VtM, are more focused on the MC's progress.

I suggest that the writers get a little less cryptic about the back story and focus more on the narrative that you've placed directly in the MC's path. That's just my suggestion. I fully support the developers advancing this VN as they see fit.

This exercise has caused me to revise my opinion of EP2 and EP3, they are better than I remembered. That said I'll stick with my assessment that EP1 is a masterpiece.
