Also it may be a cliche by this point, but playing a second time as a malkavian really owns OWNS.

Iunno, I think it's pretty funny that being malkavian means you figure out the story in like, the first 30 minutes but no one listens to you because you sound like an insane persone because you are. Sorta like having a Recruit then Veteran playthrough of Alpha Protocol.

play it, although you probably should not buy it from Steam because both Activision and Valve tag-teamed Troika Studios in its trusting virgin mouth and rear end and destroyed the company, so giving them both money seems kind of like you're enabling their past bullshit. Also you should totally get an unofficial patch for it because the game is nigh unplayable because it was rushed out the rear end thanks to Valve/Activision.

But anyway it's a very fun experience and it feels like Deus Ex but with cool vampires voiced by that one dude who voiced Bender in Futurama, the dad from Dexter's Lab, and that one girl from Avatar the Last Airbender and I wanna talk about it with other imps.

Troika was lovely and I have no sympathy for them, in fact Im kind of glad they got annihilated by better companies. Gamers always win.

Bloodlines is a good game, and everyone should play it at least once (with unofficial patch).

I also liked character animations when you are in a dialogue with someone. They really felt alive and having ..uh, emotions. Not many other games have that. VA was superb.

I actually played Malkavian the first time and it was loving cool as poo poo. I didn't understand what I was saying half the time, just said what sounded cool. When Jeanette's plot twist was revealed I thought back to poo poo I'd said earlier that she'd been impressed with and realized the character knew about this poo poo before I did. Very cool. Didn't complete the game though, remember fighting some kung fu vampire, the hotel and poo poo. Should start a new game asap

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
I was the one person on earth that actually made my character about guns, so as the game threw more shootouts and fancier guns my way the game got better instead of worse

get owned talking dweebs, the one dude straight up tells you "learn to fight, you can't talk your way out of everything" early on so SMH at people that didn't listen and hit a brick wall

They still charge $20 for a game that's a decade old now Lol

Hell they still charge that for the original Call of Duty and it's even older I think. And Family Guy and that Daryl Dixon Walking Dead game are like 50 bucks each.

But anyway, Bloodlines still owns and I still like to play through half of it every now and then.

I THINK if you noclip to the graveyard and talk to that Nosferatu dude you can bypass the sewer level altogether. I stumbled into him by accident before the sewer, but didn't keep going because I thought it would mess up the game.

Requiem: "remember all the cool poo poo about masquerade? Well we took everything out b/c one or two tardos complained about MUH PLAYER AGENCY"

How dare you tell ME I can't murder Caine! Who cares if being a gangster underling is literally the concept of the entire game.

People also bitch about promethean because it's a game "about something" too.

Promethean is loving cool, as a game and as a supplement to whatever other WoD you are running. Thing is you need a GM that is loving good at storytelling and players who are next level poo poo, but most people are just plain poo poo. If you don't see the potential then read the incredibly good The Golem and the Jinni.

uhhhhh on the topic of WoD video games then did anyone play Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption? I actually played that quite a bit way back in the day and was very disappointed at what a whiny bastard the main dude was. oh nooooo i'm not a crusader oval office anymore I'm a rad vampire waaah. other aspects of the game were pretty good though, as I recall it.

No yeah I agree. Having a good storyteller's pretty important to all wod games though. They're best when they're about the "boring" stuff instead of combat.

Requiem is... Alright. It'd have been the poo poo if it wasn't surpassed in every way by bloodlines, and the only reason people play it nowadays is that "it's the other vtm game." I've never been able to bring myself to finish the midevil section because it draaaaaaaaags

I remember Redemption pretty well, it had crazy dynamic shadows and poo poo for the time. Made my kickass nVidia card gasp for air. I thought the gameplay was pretty basic dungeon hack and slash with vampire powers, with a lot of stupid stuff like casting vampire disciplines off scrolls and bottles of blood being stored everywhere in chests. Cool areas though, I remember the Tremere chantry and the Cappadocian place being really cool. The story was loving hilarious, it was all about this super embarrassing teenage crush over a nun that Christof just couldn't get over because he got vamped. The voice acting and everything made it so bad.

The soundtrack is goddamn amazing. Bloodlines has some good tracks but seriously.
