#2 melee item behind 'Ra Blade?
Wondering which one to go with between the Broadsword and the Katana. The Katana has a smidge higher damage potential, but the Broadsword has a good chunk more Lethality... One would think that more of what's getting put out being Lethal would work better against vampires, but I don't know how the game's math is going to take that into account.

You know, I couldn't find the Tal'mahe'Ra Blade in my first playthrough. I was told it's in the Hotel, but I never found it which made me sad.

I found it no problem. I'm just wondering which one to use now until I get it again on this playthrough...

Andrei, the sabbat leader is supposed to drop Tal'mahe'ra blade after you kill him for the final time underneath Hallowbrook hotel (the place that has those puddles of blood and assorted tzimisce decoration).

I never figured out what lethality means, but in the end I have also not noticed much difference between the high-end weapons.

This is not exactly true. In the original game and the basic UP the Ra blade is on the top floor of the Hallowbrook interior in an empty room. I thought this was stupid because why would the other Sabbat not use it? So I moved it into Andrei's lair in the plus version of the patch, where it was near the place where he appears. Now with the restored Hallowbrook Atrium map though, I will relocate it in the next patch version down there as a reward for curiosity! And if you choose the Sabbat ending, Andrei will give you the Ra blade himself.

Sabbat ending?! Cool! But it's not in the current version, is it? I'm playing as a malkavian right now and I was consequently looking for the changes which came since I last played UP (and for akward dialogue options and reactions). Thanks, wesp, for all that work!

@Topic: I use the broadsword, sometimes the katana (just for the nice asian jingle which plays when you backstab). I think it is not that much of a difference; pick the one you like more. Luckily, Bloodlines isn't a game where you have to hunt for every minor improvement you can get. I have to admit though, that a powergame-walkthrough can be fun, too.

The Sabbat ending is in there, but you have to have a very low humanity to access it since the Sabbat don't care about clinging to their humanity.

The katana beats the broad sword because it makes the cool little jingle when you stealth kill someone!

Sabbat ending was cool to have, I just wish we could have had Andrei have an actual conversation. I almost think it would be best to have his dialog in text... Or have some new guy do his dialog completely from scratch.

Whoah, whoah, Whoah!
What is the 'Ra Blade?
I never saw that before. Does this thing come with the UP patch?

In Patch 9.2 the Blade has been removed from the Atrium, where was it moved to?

There is two tipes of damage lethal can only be defended against with armor and trinkets and bashing taht can be defended with stamina. Humans don't really have any hability to defended from bashing except armor. For example the sledgehammer is very efective against them, but against a vampire that shrugs of part of bashing damage you bring weapons with higher lethality.
