Bloodlines
The mental instability of the Malkavians manifests itself in various ways...
Due to their curse (or gift) they are feared and mistrusted by fellow clans. As a member of the Malkavians you speak in riddles and it is often a challenge to even understand yourself as you converse with Kine and Kindred. Being oblivious to etiquette Malkavian responses are frequently hilarious and just talking crazy to people is half the fun of playing this clan.
A positive side-effect is that your mixed up mind will often pick up on hidden truths and motivations, which catches people off-guard and can be very useful...
Disciplines
- Auspex - allows you to see the aura of anyone nearby and heightens certain abilities (Wits and Perception).

Trivia
- At several points in the game the television in your apartment addresses you directly - e.g. "Police are still looking for the suspect, but they're pretty sure it was you." - and at one point you get into a discussion with it.
- You can get into an argument with a STOP-sign in Downtown LA.
- From time to time the player will hear voices whispering advice.
If you're only going to play Bloodlines once, play it as a Malkavian.
