    A Malkavian PC figures out who their cabbie is late in the game and goes into a fit of screaming terror. Caine politely waits for them to finish.

      Yeah, that’s explained in the article.

      I actually love the lore of Malkavians. Coming across as totally insane, but it’s because they have this unnatural insight into things they don’t understand.

        My first Vampire character was a Malkavian inspired by Harry DuBois from Disco Elysium. He once horriffied entire Elysium, Prince included, by just picking up a cigarette and a lighter and taking a smoke to calm down

      I loved playing as a Malkavian. My late best friend said that it might not be best to play as a Malkavian for one’s first run at the game because of all the weird shit, and I replied “oh, now that’s sealed it for me, I’ve got to pick Malkavian”.

      I like how a perceptive player of a Malkavian can pick up so many hints and clues. Like how >!your character refers to Therese and Jeanette as “daughters of Janus”, or how the thinblood Malkavian near the start of the game says “don’t open it”!<
