Do Ekons need invitation to enter a home?

So I've got to just about after the Askalon club initiation, so far, it was my understanding that weaknesses of vampires are misunderstood and I thought our Johnny really was just asking for permission to enter because he is in the end a proper fellow with a reputation to uphold, but his line when entering Emily's house "No invitation needed to enter here? Can't mean anything good" or something else along those lines makes me question that.

So, do Ekons have the need to get an invitation before entering a home, and if so, what other typical weird bits of vampire weaknesses do they have? Will I cripple them for a solid while if I throw a bag of rice on the floor?

Stuck in the mission "The Great Hunt"

Hello, dear Vampyr community! I have this issue that I think is unique. There was no issue until this mission, but now when I get to enter Lady Ashbury's mansion I get "teleported" or I don't know back to Pembrook Hospital with all the progress (The dialogue with the voice in Jonathan's head, Skal and Hunter fights, collected items) lost, and now I'm repeating and collecting everything until I get to the mansion and I want to enter, then it starts over again (teleport to the hospital with everything lost) So if there's any fix for this I would really appreciate it!

I gotta say I did not like killing the decent civilians. Kinda sucked.

I've already messed up two hints for two characters because I accidentally chose the wrong answers in the dialogue

Is that bad? Do these two missing hints have any impact on the game world, apart from the missing XP? How can I make sure that I don’t choose incorrect answers in future dialogues and avoid missing any hints? I really don't know how for example I missed the hint with that guy who has a burned face in the hospital. I just told him reconstruction surgery can do a lot, because I wanted to cheer him up and give him hope. But he just got upset. How was I supposed to know he would get upset??

Is this game better on normal difficulty or on hard difficulty?

I don't plan on killing(embracing) many NPCs, only the ones who deserve it. I started the game on normal and played for 5-6 hours but it felt way too easy. Now I restarted the game on hard mode. Will I regret my decision? I don't like easy games but I don't want it to be like dark souls, because I don't think the combat is polished enough to be fun on dark souls difficulty. Should I continue on normal mode, or will the game stay too easy? Hard mode is good right now but I don't know if it will get too difficult later in the game. I don't want to retry fights 10 times. Please help me to make a decision.

Is this game more difficult when you kill NPCs or when you don't kill NPCs??

I watched 3 reviews on youtube and all of them said the game will be more difficult when you kill NPCs/consume their blood. But everyone else on the internet says, the game is a lot more challenging when you DON'T kill NPCs because you won't get the exp boost. So what is the right answer now?? I'm confused.

Your story?

Played this game for the first time recently and really loved it. Curious to know where people took their playthroughs. Initially I wanted to do a more good aligned vigilante type play through trying to kill only those deserving, the real evil npcs like Seymour. I failed to get Sean Hampton’s hints though and ended up killing him as I felt he couldn’t be trusted. This was the one good npc I killed and I really felt some guilt over it. Fast forward and near the very end of my playthrough I end up embracing Edwina Cox which was unknowingly one too many npcs embraced in that area and it turned the district hostile. Then I knew killing Sean was definitely a mistake. Even though it wasn’t what I was going for I continued my playthrough and ended up getting the bad but not worst ending. Since then I’ve started a new playthrough to ‘fix’ my ‘mistakes’ and set Jonathan on the story I initially planned for him, although I can’t help finding myself liking that first version of the story more and more. Jonathan felt like a desperate man who in the end managed to save the city but at heavy cost. I don’t mind the bad ending honestly, as many others have pointed out on this sub the romance can feel very forced so I myself wasn’t destroyed over Lady Ashbury dying. There’s also something about Jonathan as a tragic protagonist that works better to me, especially when you consider another World War is just around the corner.

Giselle and Lottie Paxton Eavesdrop

When is this eavesdrop lost? I’m seeing conflicting stuff with some saying it’s lost once you decide Sean’s fate and other things saying as long as you turn him you don’t lose it until the end of chapter 3. Anybody know which it is because I’m just after turning Sean but I haven’t gone further than that and would like to know if I’ve missed out on it due to her currently being stuck staring at a corpse; or if she’ll move from their and allow me to eavesdrop before I finish the chapter.

Not even once question

If a district becomes hostile through lack of healing them. Does it void the trophy? I cannot get a straight answer on this anywhere else and would like to know if I messed up. Thank you

Question about one of the endings

In the best ending, where Jonathan and Elisabeth move to New York, does anybody think they would have ended up raising natural-born vampire babies after curing her? We know from the lore that vampires can have children, so I suppose they could, and Elisabeth has proven to have motherly instincts and a desire for a family, but I wante to know your opinion.

Am I the only one, constantly lost in this game?

I don't know if I'm just a little bit dumb and have poor navigation skills but I can't figure out how to get to places.. A door would be locked, so I must take another way there. There are boats everywhere, the game is dark because obviously we are a vampire and can't see very well. I've been playing this game on and off for years now, and it's mostly me, looking at a map and taking one step at a time..(Like a tourist in Athens trying to find acropolis)

Anyway, even though I like the vibe of the game and the story (also how is Jonathan Reid this hot???), I think I'll uninstall it

(Plz don't roast me, I'm just a girl:)) )

Just wanted to express myself Take care!

I made a custom playbook for MOTW based on Geoffrey - THE BLOOD HUNTER

Play a vampire hunter focused blind on the scent of a blood trail. Choose between belonging to an Order or hunting solo. Will their fanatism to old values be their glory or an ironic downfall?

MOVES

Bloodhound: Once you have your track (nemesis) set on nothing can dissuade.

BLOOD

Your understanding of life is tainted by the nature of blood: Lifeforce, illness bearer, the smell of violence, the way it burns your body or ice your veins, the way it stick and stains. The taste of it.

Choose a Bloodline Path

The Hypocrite Oath: When you reached the Leader place you swore the oath in the most ironical way you could possible imagine: You had to drink a sip of blood that the Guards claimed to be straight from their founder. Impossible. It tasted fresh. It tasted like a promise you wanted to keep. It made you feel alive like never before. Sweet and warm. They gave you a flask with it. Only use when the situation is dire.

You can’t wait for it to get dire.

I am an One Man Army: Alone you got in, alone you will get out. Cunning and ruthlessness are your most powerful weapons. Go for the jugular: your attacks tactics rely in precision and quickness: There is no one to watch your back out there, so be fast and decisive.

Also includes: Special Consumables Weapons and a new Management Dynamic for either path choice.

Warning: Contains brutal and explicit descriptions of violent acts, gore and disturbing content involving blood. Player discretion is advised.

Artistic Influences:

This playbook was modeled after Geoffrey Mccullum of the videogame Vampyr, it is advised a quick dip into the game story for at least a solid grasp of the brutality and goreness that this setting is meant to be played at.

Does Johnathan uses his mind control powers when he confronts a citizen with a clue?

I noticed whenever you confront a citizen with a clue you obtained, there's a sound effect similar to when you charm a citizen to embrace them.

He also takes a very severe tone sometimes, like his vampire nature is taking over a bit.

Do you think he uses his charming powers to loosen the tongue of the citizen?

Bugs fixed yet?

I played this game during Covid and absolutely loved it! Unfortunately, due to the games many bugs and technical issues, I stopped playing. I'd love to restart the game, just don't wanna put all that effort in again if it's not worth it.

Got a custom made necklace

Pretty easy to do, actually, if you have a professional painter to ask for it. Components of this can bought online for a cheap price.

Mary

This twist feels absolutely terrible, and the boss fight after is even worse. Not even difficult to dodge the attacks, but they just fired the level into the stratosphere for no reason beyond forcing me to go and do side content to gain levels... I've only done 3 hours or so of main story with over 12h clocked, and I'm still getting slammed by a level wall like this? Not to mention forcing me to make this concoction for improved stamina, since Mary's attack pattern eventually becomes so sped up that I can't regenerate stamina anymore? I must say, this has kinda destroyed my appreciation for this game. Playing hours of side content only to be slapped in the face with a boss that's really just not fun to fight. Sure I could go kill a bunch of civilians to power up, but this feels ridiculously gamified in a setting that's so far been pretty grounded and steadily sprinkling in interesting world building and characters... this feels like a kick in the teeth by the devs tbh

Accidentally removed a pillar

So I’ve done what seems to be the classic new player blunder of making Dorothy Crane go missing by choosing the charm option.

How bad will Whitechapel be now? If I constantly give them medicine and heal the sick will I be able to boost it back up to stable condition? I hope I haven’t majorly fucked up my playthrough.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

Vampyr 2 idea

So I finally did a embrace everyone playthrough and uncovered Carina Billow's torturer.

Jacob Blackwood. I also apparently saw him in a portrait with Elisabeth, so a ex-husband?

And William said some not kind things about the main in his memoirs.

So it got me thinking that this is a very easy way to do a sequel. Jacob has the blood of hate, while Jonathan and Elisabeth are working for a cure. So much potential.

Usher Talltree

Can anyone answer this? Is Usher Talltree an elder vampire? Because when you read his notebook it says the guard of priwen will hunt all identified vampires his name will be on list but he refuses to submit to this threat. Even his dialogue when he calls Jonathan young ekon. All of the elder vampires say this Lady Asbury Lord Redgrave and Old Bridgette calls him that. And finally I wonder what would happen if Edgar Swansea tries to come the primate of St. Paul stole? What is that position so highly coveted? Mydrrin says if you embrace Usher that it’s potentially a terrible thing if you open the door for Edgar to become the new primate.

What is Myrddin exactly? And if he is just blood how does he turn people?

I didn’t understand most of what he was saying with his weird quotes so like can he have a physical form and why is Jonathan so hostile to him/it I mean I can understand but at the same time telling it to F off and leave you alone and then trying to find out who your maker is kinda weird like why not be more nice to him
