It´ll be as bad as the last VTM game (swansong) was. It will be like a TCR game. You run around, listen to retarded woketards trying to hamfist their detached worldview into the world of vampires in modern life.

The vampire aspect will be totally sidelined, while focusing on important things like enforcing modern clichees, belittle whites, subverse expectations, empowering ugly femoids, normalizing trans-brainrot and portraying subhumans as people.

It won´t be anywhere close to the good VTM games like redemption or bloodlines.

The tag bloodlines 2 is only there for brand recognition. Some fools will be baited by it sure, most normies will do because their research will come down to: VtmB was a cult classic and not VtmB2 is relasing so it be a cult classic2, which it wont.

It tries to cash in on the nostalgia/memberberries grift.


A more fitting name would be Vampire Swansong 2 but we all know that it wouldn´t generate the same hype/interest around it.

TCR hate gameplay, and whenever they do gameplay (almost always in the form of stealth), it's ass.

They like writing dialogue. Their games often ruin their own decent atmosphere with constant chatty inner dialogue. Its kinda masturbatory writing most of the time, feels like. It's kind of funny, but more sad, that they gutted bloodlines 2 to turn it into what they like, and force you down their story rather than let you make your own. Fucking sucks, wish their studio would close.

If you think for a moment that you could create a better narrative story experience than The Chinese Room can, then you're just as arrogant as a shitty player at the round table constantly questioning the GM's decisions. None of you have any idea where this game is going to take you. You have no idea what twists and turns and emotionally compelling scenes are awaiting. Sit down, shut up, and be humble.

I´m convinced that i could write a better world and better characters than these fartsniffers at TCR. Especially because I don´t have a wobbly spine which bows to the one paying to most to emplement gay modern ideologies into a dark fantasy world.

TCR is like a trans GM not listening to the fans but rather listen to the news and decides to build his fantasy world just like the real one because he´s a unimaginative faggot who got some agendas to push rather than having fun with the group together.

I'm cautiously optimistic.
Most of the things people are complaining about aren't super relevant to me. For example, people are pissed off you play as a set character rather than a specific one. But, how is that even much different than the first game? There was reactivity in certain spots, sure, but you're hardly going around doing major customizations. Your model is set based on your clan, and you always play as the same confused fledgling. There really isn't much customization outside of your clan and the specific routes you pursue to accomplish certain quests. In that regard, the new game sames on par.
I think people are comparing it to some hypothetical Bloodlines that was much more robust on the roleplay opportunities, but that's not really how the game actually was.
>>
>>720737802
watch your words anon, there´s no character creation.
You just assign the gender which NPCs will adress you with and that´s it.

There´s no charactercreation because it´s not a RPG.
You will play as Phyre, the ancient/antedeluvian, who has a fishmalk silverhand to guide you trough the walking passages. From time to time you will also absolve the walking passages as johnny fishmalk but without Phyre.

Phyre probably diablerzied the fishmalk which is why he´s in your head and in time you will relaize that the time your character took his powers, it was because your protag was powerhungry and the meme will come full circle with "we bust me matter ben".

I used to think that i will pirate it to shitpost about it but tbf, the more news and shit i see about it, the less i´m inclined to use my hard drive space for this waste of 1s and 0s.

>>720738173
"Badass" is always relative. An elder is a chump to a methuselah.
They're talking to you like they're bitchmade because, depending on whose dialogue you're talking about, they 1) don't realize what you are (ie, Benny), 2) are an elder in their own right (ie, Lou), 3) you can't hurt them (ie, Fabian Fishhand), or 4) someone else has leverage on them (ie, Willem).
Not everyone talks to you like you're bitchmade, and Lou gets a little less bitchy once she realizes who you are, unless you keep picking dialogue options that piss her off again.
inb4 SHILL SHILL SHILL
>>
>>720738173
I’m guessing you diablerized the Malkavian in your head and he’s fighting for control. Meaning you aren’t actually that elder. (Not just generation but age and control over time is what makes an elder powrrful)

Alternatively it could have something to do with elders getting sucked to the east in V5 and it seems without a lot of them around the young vamps increasingly don’t respect them.

Or, of course, could be lore errors.
>>
>>720738263
nWoD doesn't have Gangrel or Malks. The Gangrel "clan" is a collection of bloodlines like the Dead Wolves or Bruja (no "h"), and the Malkovian (yes, "Malkovian", not "Malkavian") bloodline is a part of the Ventrue clan.

As many others have pointed out in many other threads, it most likely will be a slightly above average Vampire the Dishonored game. It APPEARS as though there aren't a lot of deep RPG elements, I'm assuming the dialogue choices will only result in minor differences while you're getting a mostly linear experience.
I personally will probably enjoy it because Dishonored is one of my favorite games, and I'm a big fan of WoD in general.

What I DON'T ever see in these threads are the self proclaimed VTMB fanboys (who probably don't know shit about the setting outside of the game, and have never played the tabletop) actually talking about what they DO want out of a sequel.
It's as if people were expecting this 20 year old game sequel to have a blood bar on the left, goofy looking prostitutes strutting around the street, and caricatures of stereotypes alongside dogshit combat, dogshit level design, and generally an overall mediocre gameplay experience that is elevated purely by it's immersive aesthetic.

Personally I don't really give a fuck if it isn't a 1:1 to the tabletop similarly to how VTMB was, because if I wanted to play a tabletop, I'd play the tabletop.
>Then why call it VTMB2
We all know why, and if it offends you that seriously then you need to find something else to do with your life.

That being said, it's really unlikely I buy this anyway considering they were originally charging $30 or whatever for fucking Clan DLC. The only way I pick it up is if the game price is like $30 (It wont be) and they drop the DLC prices significantly (they wont)

Yeah, but Silk and Shadows weren't available to buy outside of Premium. Sure, it would be available once the game is out and probably cheaper than $30, but that wasn't announced. They could have given us the price or something, but that's the marketing department fault. Marketing seems very incompetent for this game. The best they can do is to have a shitty campaign on /v/.

Swansong was pretty good. It’s essentially a point and click until the last few stages where a shitty engine can’t really deliver on “action” sequences. But skills and disciplines were scripted for. Alternate routes existed. The story was good (given that they had to work with V5 universe).

I expect, if you use the name of a already existing game, especially with a cult classic, to be somewhere similar to the orignal, best case? All the old shit but enhanced, more of everything.

I do not expect a reduction of it to the common denominator. I do not expect it to be trying to appease to everyone and failing to make it attractive for even me.

the new game is just like VTMB1 except better. it's still a 3D action rpg set in a city at night that focuses on exploration. just because they made the combat good instead of being based on morrowind style dice rolls doesn't mean it's not a valid sequel

Ok, editions are kinda complicated for VtM.

>20th Anniversary Edition - it's where it begins tricky
V20 wasn't supposed to be a full-blown edition, it was more like a love letter to the VtM fans. After V20 got successful, the creators started working on the actual 4th Edition. Then Paradox bought White Wolf, cancelled the game they were working, hired a bunch of deranged Swedes, decided to count V20 as a real edition and created

Just because they made combat better and ditched the morrowind style dice rolls it´s not a VTMB1 you fukken faggot.
They literally ditched everything for better graphics and a reduced combat system.
Where you had different approaches, from dialouge options, over your own skills to equipment choice, it now boils down, which of type of second weapon you want to carry temporarly. Dont worry, the questmarker will be there because modern gaymers cant read shit. Fully voiced in 9 different languages but SFW talk because devs only talk like the fags on the news. It´s sterile in comparison to 1 and you faggot try to tell me why its a good thing.
> it's still a 3D action rpg
not interested in marketing talk, because as soon as you got a skill tree, no matter how static it is, and dialouge, suddenly you´re a RPG?

We'd be better off not getting anything and the franchise staying dead. This is not for fans, this is not for players. This is ONLY for Paradox to make money and nothing else. Don't be an idiot and don't deceive yourself into thinking otherwise. There is no love for the franchise or for Bloodlines in this. Only calculated corporate greed and a decision that the franchise MUST generate a profit at all costs. The whole thing may as well have been made in AI.

Nobody knows how to create engaging scenarios anymore since the video game industry is inundated with nepotism and diversity hires (this isn't a jab specifically at non-whites and non-males, it's pointing out that grognards are predominantly white males and refusing to hire them to meet an arbitrary federal quota can only harm the product and license).

You would be getting a Twilight vampire game.

>>720746626
Okay I'll try...

The werewolf game had a shitty scenario that didn't grab the audience. There's no compulsion to continue with it because it felt generic as all fuck. The only thing interesting was the intro cutscene, which isn't indicative of the rest of the game. Paradox (and most video game companies) genuinely don't understand that "LOOK AT DEM GRAFIX" doesn't make a successful game based on a TTRPG. A successful game needs a solid hook, and the writing teams currently in employment don't have competent members who can create compelling hooks because they were almost all trained in the Bad Robot Mystery Box School of Writing.

Compare the "lethargic" opening of Mass Effect 1 to the slam-bam opening of ME2 to see why ME1 is preferred by grognards over ME2.

Earthblood sure was... something. It couldn't go all in on the furry as fuck hard gay metal aesthetic. It gets into the bizarre WtA cosmology but it's laced with all these current year expectations-subverted tropes where all the chicks are hard eyed killers and the guys are soft nurturing healers. The gameplay is just whatever. It's a wash. But everything else is fighting itself.

Also the ending is bugged to shit. At the last boss fight when I took off the last bit of the health bar, I suddenly shot through the ceiling into the skybox, then fell down to the top of the level, which is semi-modeled. I had to find a place where the environment didn't have any clipping, drop back down to the hallway in front of the boss arena, walk back in, repeat the boss fight, and then it finally played the boss dying cutscene.

I never got this complaint. Assamites are only literal who's to people who have only played Bloodlines.

The autoleveling is pretty much fucked. It's serviceable, you can definitely beat the game with it. Since histories were never balanced autoleveling doesn't take that shit into account. The autoleveler will try to spread dots out so you can deal with most problems as you meet them. You'll almost never get a 5 dot in more than 1 or 2 things since there's not enough XP in the game to complete the program.

From a tabletop standpoint, Gangrel is all about stealth kills and fucking shit up when there's a crowd without caring about conversational dialogue at all. Tremere have Thaumaturgy to carry them while they take all the RP feats to get more immersed in the plot.

They were initially just a group of fanatical jihadists with a vampire tune, just like the Giovanni are just a mafia with a vampire element. The writers probably watched Rambo 3 and the news about the gulf war and got interested in the whole concept.

Do nipples change color after dead? I assume they do like the rest of the body. I also assume they either got paler than they are while alive or turn more blue/purple-ish. Jeanette is unnaturally pale, and wears a heavy dark makeup, mostly on her lips and eyes, to make it contrast even more with her skin. I don't believe she's painting her nipples black.

Part of the Malks MO is somehow getting info they really shouldn't have. They're "Oracles" and a big part of that is their Madness but it also involves simple shit like just noooticing stuff with Auspex and not being noticed when they're sitting in a room where people are talking.

They're stealthy through powers but not discreet and talented at stealth and espionage the way Nossies and Assamites are.
>>
>>720765545
the difference is small because lasombras were meant to be the edgier ventrue "counterparts" but now they are both camarilla-aligned
ventrues use words and their fantastic presence/social connections etc to persuade you. lasombras use tentacle rape.
ventrue have stone flesh. lasombras big muscles
lasombras are all about total domination of the weak while ventrue actually believe in the ways of clemency diplomacy etc even though they also think they are superior.

As opposed to a bunch of Clans having special snowflake powers things were consolidated to be roughly based on what they do, but clan tradition just makes them manifest differently. Which to be fair they already sort of were. Dementation was essentially Dominate but with a Shcizo twist. Both Protean and Viccistude are about changing forms, the Tzimsce just mixed in a bit of demon sorcery to make it kinkier. Serpentis was literally just snake themed Gangrel Protean.

I'd say Nossies, Malks, and Gangrel are iconic in the sense that they were all Cammy clans (putting aside V5's changes), which are the default faction for the setting. Nossies are also iconic in their own right for being the monsterous sort of Vampire inspired directly by their namesake and Malks...well, Malks are iconic in the TT for all the wrong reasons. It's funny that the Fishmalk, which would be absolutely insufferable at the table, became one of the most beloved aspects of the game adaption.

Fishmalk is funny when you're the asshole ruining everyone else's day by being yourself. So, having every NPC get incredibly uneasy around you after realizing you're a lunatic feels fun. Even if you kill someone in-game because the voices tell you to, you're not ruining your experience of the game as a whole (unlike on TT where your GM would get massively analpained by your batshit murderhobo behavior).

The pwoers are there, but as so called "amalgam powers", ie discipline levels that demand mastery of two disiplines to be acquired, or in some cases were moved to other disciplines when it made mode sense (for exemple Quietus level one was thrown back into Obfuscate, given the game now allows several different powers for the same level of a discipline, with players allowed to pick the one they want).


>>720767382
>Serpentis was literally just snake themed Gangrel Protean
Given the level 5, (that really should have been a Thaumaturgy ritual), I'd say it was just a mix of thematic powers thrown together without much care or thought.
>Dementation was essentially Dominate but with a Shcizo twist
Not exactly, it also tied to Auspex with powers allowing you to know things you weren't supposed to (and some I've known would say the level one was more schizo presence than dominate).

Because this IMPLIES there is a limit of four dialogue options, to adhere to limitations of the dpad presented (dpads can handle intercardinal directions, but the tight nature of UI & the very specific four-pronged cross doesn't seem to suggest that).
However, worries can be assuaged if there's evidence of dialogue options going beyond four.
>>
>>720774428
>Because this IMPLIES there is a limit of four dialogue options
It doesn't imply it, there is a limit of 4. The original Bloodlines practically never had more than 4 options. Why on earth would Bloodlines 2 have more than 4 dialogue options? What does it need to have more than 4 for? You literally just pack extra dialogue options into sub-branches.

What exactly is the complaint? The original had 4. The sequel has 4. What are people pissing and moaning about?

Residual complaint from the transition from old classics to the modern era - play, say Planescape Torment, and you can see why people were terribly disappointed in the UI Mass Effect introduced, with its comparatively severe limitations.
People that were hoping games would with time come to offer more and better options were strongly disappointed, and never really forgave it. Even after the so-called "RPG Rennaissance" tried and amend that.
For the record, so far I think the only game that ever justified the dialogue-wheel from a gameplay standpoint was Alpha Protocol.

Having reaplayed it recently, I agree with you that Bloodlines 1 barely ever had more than 4 options, and when it did it was supplementary data dumps, for the most part. That said, people were/are dreaming of better.
As I was saying in a previous thread, people are not comparing Bloodlines 2 to Bloodlines, but to the fully materialized vision that the game could have been. Hard to win against that.

Here's my problem, though. KOTOR 1 and 2 had 4 dialogue options as well. So why was there not outrage over these games? Sometimes it feels like, as you say, we aren't comparing any of these games to the actual games but rather some image of what the games might have been.

It feels frankly kind of neurotic. People are losing their minds because Bloodlines 2 has 4 dialogue options, and it's so bizarre to me.

There aren't enough opportunities in the game, and they're incredibly rare, but there are some dialogue trees that benefit from high haggling, inspection, and scholarship. My wager is that they were less frequent than persuasion/intimidation/seduction/domination checks, but this was balanced via more utility out in the world (better prices, can find items easier, skill-ups). Unfortunately due to the time crunch, you don't really get to experience all of that.

This isn't true, for what it's worth. You've got people complaining that apparently Bloodlines 2 will always force 4 dialogue options. But that's simply not the case. it has as many or few as it needs. The crazy thing is that people see 2 dialogue options and accuse it of being dumbed down. They see 4 dialogue options and claim the game is also dumbed down because something, something, they must all do the same thing. It feels like somewhere along the line a bunch of people online decided they were going to hate this game and no facts would ever dissuade them. You see this with character customization. No matter how many options they add, it'll never be enough. They could make the character fully custom and people would still complain and demand that there be alternate voice options. The goalposts will keep moving and moving and moving because people don't want solutions, they want to be mad.

Some people have always resented the voiced protag thing. This is not a new dispute. CRPG fans hated the push for a more "cinematic" presentation, and the fact is that past a certain point it doesn't matter how well written and acted a game is, or how deep the dialogue trees are, if the main character is voiced, they feel a sense of disconnection because it's not THEM anymore. It's this other character with their own personality.
>>

Maybe it's like Fallout 4 in which the choice is short like "Sarcastic/Angry/Nice" but the actual words being said by the protagonist are longer?

Oh no, not the poor self inserters. The female malkavian cheerleader they made is not THEM anymore.

Why can't people roleplay as voiced protagonists? You're supposed to put yourself in their shoes,not make them "literally you, but female, and in fiction".

People have zero trouble roleplaying as Henry in KCD. People have zero trouble roleplaying as Geralt in Witcher 3.
But VTMB 2 fans have trouble roleplaying as a woman who's voiced this time around?

The thing about Fallout 4's roleplaying that is contentious is that very few of the dialogue options actually DO anything. They are often just variations of the same thing, and Fallout 4 doesn't have any kind of in-depth character relationship system to make it matter.

Regardless of other factors, what Bloodlines 2 is trying to do this is this. Consider this screenshot at the bottom: >>720771071

Too much for this prince? (Needle at Ryong's insecurity, imply she doesn't have control of the situation.)
Lou assured me of her childe's cooperation. (Be a complete dick and remind her that she's a puppet ruler and her deluciously chunky sire wears the pants.)
Perhaps we can help each other. (Offer your services as her little bitch.)
I would be most grateful. (I'm a celebrity, imagine what a favor from me could mean if you forgot about my little incident.)

These are all nuanced options that shape how you are perceived by Lou, by Ryong, by the fag ghoul whose name escapes me. These are not throwaway options. They mean things. They push the needle on the power dynamics of the city and its leaders.

To be honest, Deus Ex wasn't like this, either.

No. Anon. Roleplaying is the OPPOSITE of self insertion. To assume the role of another character is VERY VERY VERY different from literally recreating yourself, or your idealized self into the game.

How do you not know this?
Do you think when an actor plays a character in a movie they are "inserting themselves"? is Chris Hemsworth the god of thunder now? No. He's a faggy actor who plays pretend as Thor.

How do you not know the difference between putting yourself in the story and playing someone else? Are you autistic? Or just trans?

Woah almost like Bethesda games are less conversation based and your roleplaying revolves around how you interact with the world, which factions you join, what weapons and stats you have, who you kill, how you kill them, etc.

Almost like even Skyrim has, at most, 2 dialogue options that lots of times say the same thing anyways.
>>
>>720776670
To be fair; might not be the exact same audience.
To which I'll add I personnaly very much dislike voice acting in general because of its limiting influence to conversation options; not to mention how it stiffens iterative development.

>>720776948
>RPG is self insertion, you can't roleplay without inserting yourself in the role
But then you don't have to insert into a character you have perfect control over at creation - sometimes not even in session. Playing a one shot in tabletop with premade characters is no less roleplaying than a campaign in which players were allowed to fully tailor their PCs to their convenance.

Because you don't know how to roleplay and you don't care for it, you just wanna make your idealized female self in game.

Normal men are capable of roleplaying as characters that are nothing like them. I am nothing like Geralt of Rivia yet i have zero trouble roleplaying in Witcher.

I do self insert a lot, albeit conceiving various versions of me based on different aspects of my personality (for example taking the bad side of my personality to the extreme when i want to play an evil character) , and can also slightly mix up the race (for example halfling in bg2), but vtmb is the only RPG I ever played as a woman and while not self inserting at all, thus actually roleplaying as a total stranger for the first time.

>Gangrel and Tremere seem so irrelevant
Are you retarded? Tremere has literally the best justification for a Camarilla ending
Brujah and Toreador for an Anarch one
Ventrue for a LaCroix, Gangrel for Independent and the others vary
Overall, with the anarch tendency of the game and general vibe of rebellion against one's elders and also your siring's unusual circumstances, the anarch clans plus Gangrel are a better bet
>>
>>720779057
The story is more tailored towards a Gangrel than any other clan because LaCroix is trying to get the neonate killed and withholding as many resources as possible to have nature take its course. Gangrel are also all but gone in LA. You only meet Beckett when every other clan:
>runs the Camarilla (Ventrue)
>has primogens (Malkavian, Nosferatu, Tremere)
>has an active barony (Toreador)
>has active soldiers (Brujah)

A Gangrel neonate would've had no one to turn to or explain things, been trapped in a situation they don't want to be a part of, keeps hoping that once they do the next task they'll finally stop being bothered, only to be on the receiving end of a blood hunt and just go apeshit.

>>720779082
There's a misconception that surviving diablerie as a mind imprint has to di with age and power of the blood, which comes I think from narrative reasons - the most famous examples all are Antediluvian/Methusala. But the diablerie rule that introduced that element never stipulates that, and following it an elder diablerizing a neonate with could very much end up the victim of it.

There’s not even fortitude as a separate skill, only a retarded unnamed damage reduction on feeding, if playing Ventrue. Neither is Presence a thing in Bloodlines 2.

Why? Because the bald guy you interact with 2 times in the whole game is Tremere too? You could remove that bald guy who's name i don't remember and the story wouldn't change at all.

Why? Since when the faggy vampires obsessed with sex and art would become political?

>Ventrue for a LaCroix

Why? He tried to kill you, let alone that's the bad ending and you die.
Any clan canpick any ending either way, this is not about "T-the square goes into the square hole", this is about if the story has you serving LaCroix to find some sarcophagus how does being an ugly nosferatu fit well as a protagonist.

Well for starters they are a ridiculous clan, vampires who are werewovles? and who love wolves? and turn into animals? That's overkill.
All the other clans represent aspects of core vampirism. Beauty,nosferatu, being fancy and in control, etc.

Gangrel are literally hippie potheads who never wash and are wanna be werewolves. They are a stupid clan and nothing in the story gives them any sort of protagonism or ties to the plot. If you're Brujah at least you bond with the Anarchs and nine, if you're Ventrue it makes sense why LaCroix took you under his wing, etc.

Gangrel is irrelevant.
