Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Hints
Nosferatu
1 of 4: Nosferatu are the most challenging clan to play, but only because you can't be seen by mortals at all in Masquerade areas. Nosferatu start with Mental stats and skills as their specialties.
2 of 4: Nosferatu are the clan to pick if you want to be sneaky, as it's sort of a requirement to do so in order to complete the game. You'll have to make heavy use of the sewers to get around, as simple being seen at close range by the Kine will cause a Masquerade Violation, and will bring the police much of the time. Fortunately you get the Obfuscate discipline, so that can allow you to get through hub areas aboveground if you need to and have some blood to spare.
3 of 4: Similarly to Malkavians, you will want to emphasize Stealth feats first and foremost, followed by a combat discipline of your choice. Nosferatu get Potence, making them quite effective in Unarmed or Melee combat if you choose to get that direction. They get Mental stats as their focus to start, though, so they can also be quite good with Firearms if you choose to go that route, though that renders Potence mostly useless. Social disciplines aren't useless to Nosferatu -- once people actually talk to you, you can Persuade, and Intimidate them fine -- just don't expect to Seduce anyone. Also, you can't use the cab to get around. Find the city map in the sewers, and use it in order to travel between areas.
4 of 4: Overall, Nosferatu are actually pretty fun to play, though they are certainly a challenge. You will probably be pulling your hair out if you are not a fan of stealthy tactics. At least the developers were kind enough to put sewer exits near all of the important places in the game.
