It's been some time since the last update, but a lot of work continues to be put towards the development of Clan Quest Mod 4.0 and an initial release is closer now than ever! The targeted release date for the release of the mod is October 31st, staying in the spirit of Halloween, but if work reaches completion before then, an earlier release may be announced sooner. Some updates are already being planned for 4.1, including integration/update with the newest version of the Unofficial Patch. Until then enjoy this next character preview.
Victoria
Clan: Serpents of Light
Quote: The drugs? The drugs are just a means to an end. Anything can provide the addictive energy to make a man surrender his heart to me, but the needle never made it so easy. The Kings themselves, just cannon fodder. The last thing we need are hunters on our doorstep; better the cattle believe they gun each other down in the street.
Background: A drug baroness that keeps her motives as mysterious as the spiritual forces that guide her and her pack. But which will rule her excised heart: fear of the dark fathers or lust for power?

Voice: 100%
Models: 100%
Those of you that have been closely following the mods development may remember that in previous progress reports on the mod, this category of work was stalled out for a a long period of time. Since then, two artists, have stepped forward and done some astonishing work that fulfilled the most critical needs the mod needed. Kudos to Xaltar and Daniel Williams!
Keep your eyes on this page or follow me on Twitter for news on the mod's release. Another big thank to Anchefanamon for her character concept art; and thanks to Brie Zepeda for giving her lovely voice to Victoria. You can also follow the YouTube channel for update, Let's Play videos, and more.
She looks and sounds great. Now I have a second reason to look forward to Halloween. The first is chili.
Sorry, chili? For me it's usually beer and costumes =p
My aunt has a venison chili she only makes once a year on halloween, good stuff.
I must say that the animation timing and voice acting actually surpasses Troika's own work, which is normally hard to do. Yet another well done NPC!
I am incredibly exited for the release of 4.0!
Thank you very much for the kind words!
I Agree!
Thank you! I was the voice actress for Victoria and I really appreciate the kind words! It was a blast to work on.
I love the art and it looks really good in game, you did a very good job!
Damn. Impressive work!
Thanks!
That was... incredible!
The quality of the audio and voice acting is the best I've ever heard from any mod. I've been checking for updates regularly, and I'm glad to see this is going strong!
A small question: will the interactions with Sabbat members from previous clan quests (namely Lorenzo from the Ventrue one) have any impact / changes now that the Sabbat are going to feature much more prominently in this update?
Love the mod, keep up the great work! Can't wait to play it again when the update comes out on Halloween or whenever it's finished.
That's a great question. There's really two Sabbat NPCs you deal with otherwise: Lorenzo from CQM, and the dude that shows up in the library as part of UP+. The UP guy, I feel there's not a lot of context around him, and generally I'm just not that interested in making him part of the new Sabbat story. Lorenzo though is a different matter. I think I've done the best I can of making the story otherwise have some degree of cohesion to it, but I may have dropped the ball with him as he doesn't otherwise show up. Since I lost touch with the VA that did his lines before, I'd have to find someone new to play Lorenzo, if in the future I decide to make him a bigger part of the Sabbat story.
Man this mod just blows me away when it comes to its quality! Well done to everyone working on this - i will toast to you come Halloween!
Thanks!
Burgermeister i am a big fan of you and i love your job, is there anyway you can add some optional player skins in the next update? because i like playng as a malkavian but the male malk skin is Just...ugly and dress way too crazy. I wanted a suave suited long-haired blonde with short beard and heterochromia,(red and blue) so i went on the in the internet and i didn't find anything like it, so dowloaded some "okay" skins and i could not install no matter what, i did searched on various sites on how to do it but it only costed me 2 days of my lifetime. Then i had to use the ventrue skin but now there is a weird clone of me that occasionally appears on cutscenes. BTW you could improve the malkavian experience by adding voices that tells you when someone is lying or to be carefull.(when you have high inspection or something.)
So, one month to go, counting the days. Any last updates?
Just a month... Please tell me that there is only one month left (or even fewer days) for the release of this mod.

This woman is pretty much the single biggest reason I'm thinking of doing a real Sabbat run, not the undercover mission, after experiencing Dance Of The Thrashing Dragon, with Jeanette still on friendly terms with my character, in my current playthrough.
Diablerizing VV's going to be hard on me though ;_;
