    Where it says Target replace the text in there with this:

    (You'll need to put in the relevant drive letter if it's different).

    Once in the game press ` (top left button on our keyboards).
    Be careful with the console, since it will freeze up your game at random. Going to the menu (esc) before bringing it up seems to bypass this particular problem.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"

    As for the glitches and bugs themselves, Troika said many times over that the game was "finished" for a few months and they were simply waiting for HL2 to be put out. I've never seen a Troika game not be a terrible mess upon release. Temple of Elemental Evil and Arcanum are both infested.

    Society of Leopold sometimes has a crash, makes it impossible to finish without using console.

    And I'd heard publishers had been bastards about making them release?

    Yeah, I heard that it sometimes crashes there. The only talked-about crash I had was at the very end of the game, before the final cutscene. I couldn't replicate it though.

    Troika couldn't release the game before HL2 because of their deal with Valve. That was the only publishing-related issue. Now that it's out, Activision's said the game is not on their list of "high" priorities, so I wouldn't look for a patch anytime soon... There's a fan-made patch, though, which solves a number of issues.

    You can play an Angel-esque vampire protecting the good and trying to retain your humanity
    Nice review Cheese, I've started downloading the game due to the above, can't wait

    How deep is character creation? Can you choose clothes? Like say a long black flowing coat?

    You can't choose clothes. They're determined by your clan/sex.
    Later in the game, though, you get different clothing choices. One of which is Light Leather, which I remember being long.

    Pretty much as Mad Cat says.

    Character creation is pretty open with a wide range of skills to choose from. Not sure if you could build a character that looks like Angel but you could defiently build someone with the same sort of skills.

    I prefer to play a pre-wimpified Spike type character who just goes around killing everyone, being mean and looking cool.

    That does sound tempting Is there any form of reputation in it? can you become the ultimate bad?

    What do these vampire hunters look like? Are they short and from Yorkshire with sexy voices?
