Hello ---
The only way to increase your health is with morphine? Is there no other way to raise your level?
The character you use as an avatar is the gangrel with armor 3? ..
Everything is great. I like the history of this Mod. it is refreshing
I have the same issue. Its a a bug I think. makes the game unplayable for me.
Are you guys planning to make new player model?
Not really as you will play as a vampire in the next episodes anyway...
Oh no, thanks for the spoiler Wesp xD
Ps: Love you guys for a effort which you have put into this game!
Oops, I thought this was obvious already with the way the mod starts...
hey i have a question i dont have the voice acting it is normal or i installed wrong? i have GOG version but i download the unofficial patch and i have clan quest mode, and if its possible that something is broken in my game?
The Prelude has no voice-acting yet and we don't know if we will be able to add some...

If you need some (amateur) voice actors, I'm a youtuber and could lend my german accented voice.
Sorry, but we have German accents ourselves and we can't have that ;).
hey when your gonna make chapter 2:) i really like part 1 and cant wait until part 2:):) great job:)
Thanks, we are already working on part 2, but I don't know when it will be released! Two maps are not finished yet...
I copy vampire fold from backup fold for ver 1.2 then paste on C:\....and install vampire's Prelude done running on windows 10 won't work. what need required minimum than ver 1.2? please tell any add install before Prelude install please thank you.
You need to install a recent version of the Unofficial Patch!

Will Prelude 2 coming soon? I do love Prelude 1 till end will next 2 I cant wait Prelude 2. I understand about almost end Message <attack> we bit confused but I understand should explain us with "use attack with <enter> or <left mouse button>..." will be help to understand because I was confuse till solve it now. when I didn't click enter or left mouse button then freeze refuse running after press <enter> or <left mouse button> not successful then reload and I start press on enter or left mouse button when pop up text message display then solve and running till end. very cool!
I cant heal myself. So the game is unplayable...
is it just me?
In the latest version you can use Faith Heal, in the earlier versions you need to take painkillers to heal yourself.
At the end of the oil rig, the battle with the "vortal?" (sorry spelt wrong, big monster ting with the exploding zombies) I keep getting a freeze crash. The anti-crash DLL was replaced as well as the Ram increase patch is done. The other mods don't crash, and it is happening in the battel each time. So by this process of elimination, it might be a bug. Please advise! (Great mod by the way! I am really looking forward to seeing how it ends!), Obviously, there is still a chance that it is just a bad char save, in which case I will have to just to a replay from start.
Try to kill the boss using the exploding zombies. Using firearms on the oil rig can cause crashes but we have no idea why...
Thanks for the reply, It was firearms I was using on the zombies themselves, (I had already figured that much out!) Not sure how to explode the zombies without using guns and not die, but trying to solve that problem will be fun! (My current theory is experimenting with the various holy powers to see if any of them can explode them from a distance- when I pull the main boss close enough to one of them!) Cheers for the quick answer!
The easiest way is just to run close to them with the boss a little bit behind. They will explode once he get's near them!
instead of part 2, I suggest you work on voice acting. It is not fun if we don't hear them speaking and we will have to read the text. part of their personality will be lost this way.
Sorry, but I don't see how we can do that without fans offering free voice over on their own! We are all living in Germany so our accent is a no no :)!
Hi, Wesp, I understand that you don’t know when the second part will be released, but can you say approximately. like a month or six months..?
Will there be a hub in which it will be possible to move freely between tasks? or will there be only story missions one by one?
The mod is cool, respect for this and for the unofficial patch. vtmb is my favorite game and this is your big merit.
Sorry for the mistakes, I'm from Russia
I hope it will be finished in one month to six months ;)! Also there will be a new hub from which story and maybe side missions will be available. And you'll get a very cool haven :)!
Stuck on funeral scene. Pressing atk button and have nothing =(
Weird. Just wait for the music to end then...
