He cannot be interacted with by the protagonist. In the base game, the Newscaster can only be seen using the TV sets, however, it is possible to access the newsroom through the use of the ‘no-clip’ console command from any haven that has a functioning TV set, this suggests that the news reports are programmed to run in the game engine simultaneously as the player navigates in the haven. It is unclear whether this suggests that the Newscaster is a Malkavian responding to the Madness Network or the communication is a perception due to the Malkavian’s protagonist’s ‘Gift of Insight’, most likely the latter.Īnother argument is that the Newscaster may be a Malkavian due to his tendency to subliminally foreshadow the future, suggesting that he too may have the ‘Gift of Insight’. Though the fledging never gets to meet the Newscaster, he does speak directly to the protagonist if they are playing as Malkavian. The Newscaster is calm and professional at all times as can be expected from a news anchor of his caliber. When viewed using no-clip it can be seen that his legs have not been programmed by the developers, with him taking the form of a floating torso. The Newscaster presents as a human and can be seen in a brown suit jacket with a dark green tie.
The Newscaster cannot be found in the game without the use of no-clip. He frequently comments on events involving the fledgling and his reports are dependent on the fledgling’s actions. As the news anchor for Nightly News Channel 9, the Newscaster reports on the events of the game on the TV sets throughout the havens.
