Quest:Sibling Rivalry

Jeanette

Jeanette's interactions are tracked using the "G.Jeanette_Seduce" variable. A Seduction of 2 is required to get the most out of these conversations.

There are some non-optimal interactions: for example, giving Jeanette the Pendant and complimenting her, or insulting her and then getting back in her good graces. Those options are not covered here.

A final score of 4 is needed before gain access to the Tourette confrontation, so it's possible to pick non-optimal dialog options and still triumph. It's preferred that neutral responses are given, as too many negative responses will drop the G.Jeanette_Seduce score below the threshold. Be wary: each positive interaction only adds one, but there are some negative responses which might even subtract 2 from your score.

• First interaction, on first entering the Asylum
  • Seduction 2: Frightening isn't the word I'd use... exciting is more like it.
  • Malk: I see before me a beauty who shares the madness of my mind.
  • Aren't you the tease? Got a name I can remember you by? (Malks: My heard beats like a thousand primal drums. Give me the gift of your name.
  • That's what I was thinking. What's your name? (Malks: Burn, baby, burn. Give me the pleasure of your label.)
  • Soon can't come soon enough. Goodbye.
  • Total so far: 4

• Second interactions, upon returning from the Ocean House
  • If Jeanette_Seduce is less than 3: Yes, as a matter of fact, I did. I couldn't stop thinking about you. (Malks: All of my selves are intoxicated with you, white mistress.)
  • If Jeanette_Seduce is 3 or more Actually, I was hoping I'd run into you. (Malks: All of my selves are intoxicated with you, white mistress.)
  • Seduction 2: All the time, Jeanette. What do I do in your thoughts? (Malks: You haunt my dark dreams, but what deeds do I do in your own?)
  • Seduction 2: For you, anything. (Malks: For you I would face the flame at noontime.)
  • I'd never intentionally keep you waiting, Jeanette. Goodbye.
  • This conversation: 4. Total so far: 8

Therese

Therese's interactions are tracked using the "G.Therese_Seduce" variable. A Persuasion of 2 is requires to get the most of these interactions.

A final score of 4 is needed before gain access to the Tourette confrontation, so it's possible to pick non-optimal dialog options and still triumph. It's preferred that neutral responses are given, as too many negative responses will drop the G.Therese_Seduce score below the threshold. Be wary: each positive interaction only adds one, but there are some negative responses which might even subtract 2 from your score.

• First interaction, on entering the upstairs of the Asylum
  • I'm just glad she's gone. You are Therese? (Malks: I could stomach her oozings no longer. You are Therese, the dark daughter?)
  • I agree. You seem a lot more together. (Malks: Yes. I like the weight of you much better, my sweet darkness.)
  • I'd much rather talk to the sensible sister. (Malks: I seek a more sensible sustenance.)
  • Gladly. What do I have to do? (Malks: Speak your quest, dark one.)
  • Sure, I'll do it. What do I have to do to get rid of the ghost? (Malks: I will cross into the world of spirits. What needs be done?)
  • I can respect that. And I appreciate it. Goodbye. (Malks: Your words are like the reddest nectar, dark daughter. Farewell.)
  • Total so far: 6

• Second interaction, upon returning from the Gallery Noir:
  • Persuasion 2: You're a rational, professional woman. Certainly there's something I can do. (Malks: Let us talk of equals, dark one. Let business be our sweet nothings.)
  • For Santa Monica's most powerful Kindred, I'd be happy to. (Malks: I side with she of the greatest power. Command me, dark daughter.)
  • If the Baron of Santa Monica wants her sister back, I will get her sister back. (Roses for her when they should be stones, dear baron.)
  • This conversation: 3. Total so far: 9

"Tourette"

The final confrontation with the sisters. Note that, if you don't have the full requirements, your choices are still being tracked: if choices are notably in favor of Jeanette or Therese then that sister will "win" the final struggle over the gun.

Required:

• A Persuasion of 4 or greater.
• A G.Jeanette_Seduce score of 4 or greater.
• A G.Therese_Seduce score of 4 or greater.

Since, at this point, by following the optimal path, you should have scores of 8 for Jeanette and 9 for Therese, it should be easy enough to get your desired result if your Persuasion is high enough.

• The dialog:
  • Persuasion 4, Jeanette_Seduce 4, Therese_Seduce 4: Why are you both fighting? (From where this hateful quarrel?)
  • Persuasion 4, Jeanette_Seduce 4, Therese_Seduce 4: Both of you stop. (Malks: Both sides need to cease this conflict.)
  • Persuasion 4, Jeanette_Seduce 4, Therese_Seduce 4: Stop it right now, both of you. (Malks: Become mute both mouths! Cease this quarrel.)
  • Persuasion 4, Jeanette_Seduce 4, Therese_Seduce 4: If you both want to continue to exist, you're going to have to live with each other. (Malks: You must both learn to live in the same skin.)
  • Persuasion 4, and you must have picked the above four options: Both of you have been working against the other. Together, you'd be a power. (Malks: If you could learn to join hands, think of the strength you command.)
  • Persuasion 4, Jeanette_Seduce 4, Therese_Seduce 4: That's all in the past. Forget about it. (Malks: The past is a worn garment - dispose of it.)
  • Five or more of the above responses: No matter what happened, you two need each each other to move on. (Malks: History's shadow need not fall on you both.)
  • Think of how powerful you could both be if you worked together. (Malks: Work together, and your power will more than double.)
    • It's possible to pick some of the other options -- "Because I don't think you could live without the other," for example -- but those options will fail and circle back. The exact dialog won't be identical, but pick the most similar to the above: how working together they can become more powerful.
  • Pick the following two options (the order doesn't matter, just don't tell them to kill each other):
    • Therese, let Jeanette have more responsibility. (Malks: Dark one, let the light carry more of the burden.)
    • Jeanette, stop sabotaging your sister's plans. (Malks: White mistress, stand not in the way of the dark one's plans.)
  • If you'll call a truce and run this place equally, there's no need to kill each other. (Malks: Run this house as a family, and you both may unlive another day.)
  • You both must have gotten along at one time. (Malks: Was there never a time when you looked each other in the eye?)
  • You don't really want to kill each other, do you? (Malks: You don't really wish to become an only child?)
  • Give me the gun, Therese.

And you've successfully saved both sisters. If you're playing the Plus version of the Unofficial Patch, you've gained a Humanity.
