Can it ever be fixed with mods?

mods can't fix a shit game. It didn't fix Skyrim even though there's a lot of people "playing" it

The thing is though, take away the title and the game would be equally, if not more, well-liked than Vampyre. It's a perfectly serviceable semi-open world budget brawler.
However, when you add the title and there are no choices/immersive sim elements/rpg mechanics, it becomes a shit sequel. That's the issue.

Also, the story is fine, I daresay good even.

>>724419401
And it would have probably sold a tenth of what it did. Paradox took a calculated risk that the audience it would grab with the sequel to the game everyone talks about when the talk about VTM would outweigh any negative comparison.
It is genuinely not a bad game. A little messy at points if you're not playing slow-mo telekinesis/discipline chess with the fights, but not bad. That said Id recommend a pirate over a buy, paradox can go fuck themselves, they dont deserve your money, and I have ZERO interest in the planned DLCs starring scarred up piece of shit sherrif and pretentious nog sabbat.

They should release the pre alpha cancelled demo so modders could make an actual game from that
>>
>>724419171
You can do the latter.
>>
>>724417256
You would need to fix the secondary quests, the progression system, add skills, add an inventory, add weapons, and rewrite entirely the game.

All of that on the notoriously difficult to mod (beyond model swaps) UE.

So no. No one will care, no one will fix it, no one will take 2,000+ hours to rewrite the game entirely or take the massive amount of effort to write basic script injection, and you'll get like 20 models swaps on Nexus if you're lucky. And 20 models swaps are generous. More likely 3 sexy Safia or and a Phyre/2b replacement mod.

It's called pacing, you play as a human and experience the entire history from your embrace to the modern nights going through changes in the character, much better than the trash that is VTMB2 where you play a boring blank slate that never amounts to anything, but is le power fantasy (but not really since you can die to thinbloods).

>shills
Here's that word again, soon to be emptited of all substance by abusive throwaround.
And I didn't like Redemption because I found it had no redeeming feature. It didn't look good; it played like a poorly designed dungeon explorer with trivial maps that did not elecit exploration and tedious, repetitive combat; it was a poor adaptation of the tabletop.
Remember that it was released more than 2 years after Fallout. We were hoping for so much more.
As I said, the only interesting thing was the online multiplayer tabletop component, and it's totally outdated these days.

Would a 5th gen elder really give a shit? Maybe i’m overestimating but wouldn’t a 5th gen be able to or is that just methuselehs and antediluvians
>>
>>724417256
I've been playing it off-and-on the past couple days and its honestly pretty okay.

I feel like TCR was very clearly inspired by Dishonored in more ways than one, and I wish they had pivoted towards more immersive sim elements. It has the bones of a potentially good game but so many frustrating design choices hold it back. Like, when you telekinesis a gun to use it, why do you just unload the whole clip in one go instead of being able to fire off individual shots? Why can't we just slot whatever powers we want regardless of their "ability type?" Shit like that.
>>
>>724424564
Mehuselehs and antediluvians are the ones that have soft-reality warping stuff going on. 5th gen and higher are gigapowerful but you're not getting into "singlehandedly drives the story forward by being bullshit" situations like that until the borderline demigods that are 3rd and 4th gen. And even then, a sufficiently large collection of younger gen vampires can probably fuck them up same way the 3rd gen fucked the 2nd gen over

I respect that they didn't went for the generic "Malkavian detective that is trying to stop a serial killer, but actually he is the serial killer".

Fabian solving the case multiple times over the years is interesting...but it also implies that it took him a century to come up with "What if...I don't just blindly go, alone, to my dangerous and powerful suspects, to make my accusation?"

yeah, let's bring a noisy voice recorder instead!

>>
>>724423921
A vampire is almost useless in daylight...humans just need to get lucky once, and its over.
Not to mention, the moment an opportunity occurs, all your rivals will use the opportunity to aid said humans (the first inquisition got dangerous because many elders tried to use them to get rid of their enemies...and shit got out of control).

There's a reason kindred care so much about the masquerade, and why Elders are so fucking paranoid.
>>
>>724427219
1. It's not actually a sequel. It's just marketed as such.

WtA is such an interesting game: it seriously needs their own "Bloodlines", a popular RPG that brings people into the splat, and it could become huge.

Wasn't VtM already more popular even before Bloodlines? I think perhaps Mage could be gigapopular if it ever got adapted to video game formats, but idk for Werewolf
>>
>>724429048
It's not for lack of trying. There was a werewolf game in dev meant to be a sequel to bloodlines that got canceled. Then earthblood which was shit and probably rewritten at the last minute because a suit got cold feet about releasing a game about ecoterrorists
>>
>>724429256
Vtm has always been the most popular but prior to CCP killing WoD, vtm, wta, and mta were the most popular games
>>
>>724428176
With Veilguard you have to take into account that it followed 2 AND Inquisition
So it only underperformed our expectations slightly
>>724429048
It just occurred to me that Earthblood is just VTMB2 but better, with the focus on both stealth and combat. And made by devs who at least don't despise gameplay

>>724429048
They just need a competent AAA dev to make a Bloodlines-esq RPG for the entire WoD series.

2 i played through twice on launch - it wasnt much of an rpg by the standards of back then, but i liked the combat and on my second run i was hoping to see what different choices would achieve (ha fucking ha).

veilguard on the other hand i saw the trailers of and not one of them made it look playable.

>>724429398
>It just occurred to me that Earthblood is just VTMB2 but better
Seriously? I can't fathom how you'd get to such a conclusion. Earthblood is the epitome of Cyanide mediocrity, with specs of game design thrown around because they're the norm, with no idea of just how/why they're supposed to work.
For all it's faillings, Bloodlines 2 works at times. Can't say as much of Earthblood.
>>
>>724429632
The story is fine, good even, it feels very VtM, I could see it being a story book, it hits all the
>vidya version of a TT game ,so it has to introduce all the TT USPs
while still feeling like an actuall story.

I will say that with regard to how the detective B plot folds into the elder politics A plot:
Feels weakly connected, and you can tell the budget/dev time was drying up. There's even a brief flashback convo that sort of randomly plays to 'tie' the plots together (because they knew their connection didn't really work), you can tell was added at the last second and feels poochie tier.

Is it a change from V5 where higher humanity Vamps don't have bodies that turn to ash?
>>
>>724430547
Bloodlines took a lot of liberties with its depiction of vampires dying.
The tabletop was always more fuzzy with different books presenting things differently according to their needs/uses.
Supposedly, the older the vampire the faster the accelerated decay/turning to ashes, but that sometimes was altered.

I'd say both Earthblood and VTMB2 are on the same tier, Earthblood's plot is a bit less retarded and the gameplay is better if a bit braindead, but it has 0 understand of the lore beyond basic shit. VTMB2 lore might be based on v5 but it doesn't misinterpret it, and it's somewhat passable still

Considering Benny and Ysabella can fight hopefully not

>>724431841

The concepts for the DLC are fundamentally retarded. You already barely play as Phyre because of the Fabien shit. Instead of expanding Phyre's content they're splitting it to other characters even more. These devs are so fucking stupid.
>>
>>724432086
Who fucking cares if they can fight? They're both irrelevant. Dusted. It should've been more content for Phyre.

Again, the tabletop evolved and took a lot of liberties with its own rules anyway. Basic V1 had gouls that were limited to Potence 1 - but then almost imediately Prias was introduced in Chicago by Night as millenia old ghoul with an ancilla spread of stats/disciplines.
Then the power creep introduced Revenant families, with born gouls that started with three dots in disciplines (still very much limited by lack of vitae - something too many players in power trip mode forgot to account for) and all bets were off I'd say.

Just finished it, I think it's pretty good. It was never going to live up to the ultra-hype to satisfy the cult fans of the first game, which I do think was overall better. But I really expected this game to be a shitshow, and it wasn't, so that alone was a pleasant surprise. The gameplay was pretty solid without overstaying its welcome. I was occasionally annoyed by all these faggot vampires thinking they could boss around an Elder, but I guess the mark stuff explains that (barely). Like bitch, you're all thin bloods in my eyes, shut the fuck up
>>
>>724434286
TCR doesn't consider that a stereotype
>>
>>724434247
hopefully that means next session I'll be done. What an abysmal game. I sort of had fun in the caves with all the hunters, especially the last bit after killing the Gardener because I just snuck around stealth killing and pulling them off ledges. About the only time I've actually enjoyed a combat encounter

>>724434301
This is a Final Fantasy 15 tier financial flop where the game will fail to turn a profit until like 5-10 years from release I bet. I assume the actual development costs of TCR will get paid off quickly but other than that not much more

Is this a borderlands 3 case where the gameplay is fun but the story is aids so you have to play muted

Ff15 was like $200m+ budget, this was nowhere near that expensive

>150 million for the new game engine
>50ish million for nomura's development in the old engine
>old engine scrapped
>at least 200 million budget for the full game
>possibly more side budget + for dlcs
We know that HSL was overbudget for a while so probably I think this game's total budget is between 200-300 million, at least 60-70% of that being HSL though

>>724434635

Really? When the gay ass nosferatu exists you will have any care for the leads? He's the only character I genuinely hate

This is true. Although I have to admit, some powers are really cool. I like especially the one lasombra power where you appear behind someone

It's hard to say.
Hardsuit Labs is in Seattle.
If you had 100 employees (probably a low estimate desu) there working for 5 years (2017-2021) at $60k a head you're already talking $30 million for dev costs and that's without licensing, rent, any marketing they did, outsourcing, etc.
Then add on TCR version which is another 4 years at 55 employees at probably $60k per head too.
I'm guessing $50 million for dev + marketing cost (which was basically 0 if I'm being real with you) on the low end and $100 million on the high end.
>>
>>724434950
Based on that, paradox interviews, and how the game is doing despite relatively negative press, it sounds like they were truthful about yeah we’re definitely interested in WoD but we want studios that know what they’re doing to do it. HSL failure is why the cost went up, chinese room was pretty cheap i hear

Maybe if M5 ever comes out Mage will get a game.

Then again even Wraith got a game in like 2021. It's expect a hunter game before a mage game seeing as it appears V, H, and W are the three core WoD systems in 5.
>>
>>724435116
Listen man you're totally welcome to your opinion but I just can't agree that the WoD5 books are good, they lost a lot of the cool edge and flavor that made older games appealing while also changing mechanics in a way that's much worse in many ways, blood pool works as a better system than blood potency and hunger for instance, I don't mind the Werewolf gameplay changes but I do dislike all the background lore getting the shaft to be less edgy, and Hunter is just shittier vigil for the most part. This is before we talk about the metaplots.
I can see why someone might enjoy the 5th edition books, but personally they're a downgrade and I hope Mage 5 never comes out

>>724435434
Yeah, far as I can tell the story is completely linear, but some choices you make do have effects later, and of course change the ending. I'm a bit pissed about the ending I got, it didn't line up with anything I did except for one single choice. And the gameplay isn't bad, sometimes it's really good, but other times it can be frustrating. It got a lot better for me when I learned you can parry, don't think that was in any of the tutorials, I just noticed it in the settings and it's a game changer.

It's more like W5 ruined a lot of the things that made the setting more unique and cool and rebranded it as Furry Masquerade with the veil and the depression about being a monster that can't relate to humans and "it's so over" mentality. Personally, I just think it's worse than older editions

I kinda like the character, for all very little there is to see of her. She's an halfway competent over-achiever narcissist with an inflated sense of pride and worth. Basically perfect Lasombra material.
She's dumb enough to keep incriminating proof laying around in her haven. She can be be dominated (the discipline) by Fabien.
Overall, I thik it's just a case of you wanting to see what you hate in her.

>>724433875
>except Tolly, who's just a gay stereotype
Jury's still out on Tolly for me. He *is* a walking stereotype, but it also looks to me like he plays it off to irks people in a way that makes them dismissive of him and his faults.
The fact that there's an ending where he becomes prince does show that he's a conniving little shit. It's implied he knows a lot more than he let on (Katsumi being a Campbell plant, Fabien potentially being the copycat killer...).

It's fine. Some of it is better than others, but none of it is bad, and some of it's pretty good.

solid AA quality combat, like Robocop. And the movement system was fun. Interesting how you had to go to the rooftops to travel the city at top speed with all your abilities, to avoid breaking the Masquerade. The gameplay isn't incredible besides a few really cool moments here and there, but again, it's never bad. except when you have to fight multiple invisible kung-fu minibosses fuck those guys, I just drop everything on them or use potions

Woke just doesn't mean anything anymore, it's like calling someone a nigger or saying something is Reddit. I don't think something is woke because it has a gay character in it. I think what makes something woke is when everything else takes a backseat to the inclusion of woke stereotypes, often to the exclusion of any character that is "normal".
>flamboyantly gay Nosferatu that constantly makes flirty fag comments
>no-nonsense girlboss nigger that is into BDSM
>flat-chested pretentious dyke haircut bitch that uses they/them pronouns
>EVERYONE is bisexual
This shit is woke.
>>
>>724436405
I expected it to be a lot more woke. there's some minor shit in there that really shouldn't be, but nothing extreme, and some of it fits the setting kinda like 2077
>>
I just ignored Tolly's gay shit but the fact that he can roam around in the night in the public as a Nosferatu is pissing me off, sure there are people who look like him but come the fuck on man, not one insulted him out in the open???
>>
>>724436575
>The fact that there's an ending where he becomes prince does show that he's a conniving little shit. It's implied he knows a lot more than he let on (Katsumi being a Campbell plant, Fabien potentially being the copycat killer...).
No you fucking idiot, it shows that he's an inspirationally disadvantaged Gary Stu faggot that gets by on Plot Armor and being heckin wholesome to a particular kind of freak that writes faggot characters like him. What the fuck are you on about.

>>
>>724436783
>everything else takes a backseat to the inclusion of woke stereotypes
Exactly, this is the problem. A lot of games have some gay or black or certain stereotypes of characters and no one called it woke before or went out of their way generally. I feel like this has changed recently because of the oversaturation of game releases with said excess stereotypes
>>
>>724436919
S'alright
Worth a playthrough

Eh, I can believe it cause he doesn't even really look paranormal. He just looks like a burn victim. He doesn't even have pointy ears.

I wish they redesigned him a bit and made him actually look as something else than a burn victim

Trash. If you must have more vampires but for some reason refuse to play the Vtm COYA games or VNs then I guess it will suffice

>>
In some alternate universe, Arkane Studios took over after Hardsuit's execution & made a great immersive sim VTM game. I wish we were there
>>
>>724436919
The first one is clearly superior, but it's miles better than this shit. The combat is nothing spectacular but it's fun enough, and the roleplay elements are actually there despite it being a character action game. I'd say it does a better job of making you feel like a vampire than VTMB2 does, and it's more interesting because you're a regular jackoff Victorian era doctor that is forced to adapt to suddenly being a superpowered night demon.
>>
>>724436919
has some interesting mechanics and a character interaction system but it's pretty janky.
The plot is uninteresting and boring rather than bad

>going around spooking or bullying the homeless for certain blood types
kino. But I did let one of them get away. I was chasing her through the park after scaring and insulting her, trying to herd her into a secluded area and she started crying and yelled "Why won't anyone help me!?" while even the cops just watched this well dressed guy chase her through town. whoever voiced that line put their heart into it, I felt bad for her and let her escape.

For all of it's faults VTMB2 is at least a single player game being made by a single player focused dev studio
Redfall was for some reason

>Small-town Americana by a Studio that has spent 2 decades aping lord of the rings, Viktor Antonov, and bioshock (albeit very well)

Redfall was made to fail but why Bethesda would ever ask Arkane to make such clear slop is a question that I don't think can be answered

>>724437364
Yeah pirate or sale. It can be fun but just as annoying
>>
>>724437364

>>724437361
Always bite them right there on the street immediately. There are no consequences, just run up a roof afterwards. The Masquerade is a spook
>>724437503
This man is a shill. Do not let him trick you into buying this shit
>>
The fact that there's absolutely zero combat progression shows this was made as a walking simulator first and foremost. All you can do is learn more abilities, nothing increases your health or melee damage. Pretty disappointing for a supposed "elder".
>>
>>724437532
Yup, also the big thinblood focus too which is why your so called "elder" is struggling against essentially just ghouls but gay
>>724437540
Doubt it, Arkane's main team lost like 85% of their actual talent following the launch of Prey and probably a further amount after Deathloop. There's a reason we've had Blade rumors for like 5+ years, it's in dev hell
>>
I wonder how much the masquerade even means anymore since people can just claim ai and fake news. Plus it’s seattle, could easily be a crazed junkie preying on the homeless. That’s how i rationalize the crappy masquerade system
>>
>>724437587
I don't think the main Arkane team has made a bad game.
Even Deathloop is pretty fun. It just has some deep rooted design flaws.

>>724437636
You didn't even play the game, just watched someone else play it, and then you call other people shills while pretending your opinion means shit. you're the scum of /v/

It was officially announced last year. It'll probably come out next year. 5-6 years dev time is normal now.
>>
>>724437724
It's an interesting idea that I wish they did more with. Everyone having phones and cameras is mentioned as a problem, but I think the game plays it off a lot because yeah, you're mostly just dealing with the homeless in Seattle in the middle of the night, nobody's going to believe or care if they see some guy flying over the street
>>
>>724436919
Classic Dontnod where the concept is great but the execution lacking. The narrative-tied experience system is so interesting (in hard mode, which looks like the way the game is meant to be played, you only gain XP by draining civilian's blood to death... and you play a doctor made vampire who's trying to save people during an epidemic... the more healthy you make them, the more XP they're worth; moral choices and all that), but it being tied to such a shitty combat core and mediocre at best writing makes it all basically a terrible experience in my opinion.
I'd say it's worth a pirate to see if it can tickle your fancy, but do not expect great things out of it.

>>724436843
Again, just a case of you wanting to see what you want to hate in there.

I mean, as I said, jury's still out on the character, but you're just throwing around word-sauce empty husks at this point.

>>724437798
This + multiplayer invasions being broken are my biggest issues with the game.
They should've taken some design notes from Hitman WoA and let you kill the guys in any order.
>>
>>724437730
Deathloop's deep rooted design flaws come from all the decision making people at Arkane getting replaced, and ngl they've been losing their touch as well. As pretty as the art direction is in 2 both it and the DLC are worse games overall than Dishonored 1. It's been a steady decline that Arkane was too exceptional to notice until Deathloop and then Redfall
>>
>>724437796
the media is owned by (((vampires))) and they make up a cover story and/or drop some domination on influential people here and there, and disappear anyone who causes too many problems
>>
>>724437796
Gas leak or some shit, too much drugs that spiraled into a frenzy. Who knows. I actually in this day and age the masquerade would be easier to violate now due to information being too prevalent
>>
I only watched segments of the game, but do you actually ever feel like an Elder vampire that has a good few centuries on everyone around you? From what I saw it was very neutered gameplay, and extremely deferential and simpering dialogue where your powers and status are rarely if ever asserted.

Bad
>fallout 4 discussion wheel so not much variety so no roleplay

>most vampires dont feel like vampires, they're humans in 2025 but with fangs
>fabian was likeable but suffers from the same thing that Tolly for example, he is way too quirky and on the nose eith they stuff they say, classic case of tryhard writing
>combat takes a while to used to bit it's 100% more manageable with a controller, still clunky and lackluster but that's ok if the rpg elements are there
>rpg elements are weak since your clsn has no meaning and you can learn everything
>6 endings but barely replay value since most shit is scripted
>oh you wanted the rich and cool sidequests of the original? Too bad, you have three kinds of sidequests. Take this parcel and deliver it, kill this anarch group or find this dude and kill him, that's it

tldr dont buy at full price, wait for big discount if you want a one-and-done vampire game

You can literally bite someone in the street and then run on top of a rooftop and crouch until the meter goes down you stupid fucking shill named Sandoosh.
>>
>>724437924

I am playing it, 20 hours in and just killed the Hunter negress. I have fed on probably 30 citizens at this point
You bite them, the meter turns red, you run up a roof, the meter goes away

>>724437954
>they went with snowy streets because they couldn't do proper streets but quite comfy atmosphere outside still

I've thought about this a lot and the only conclusion I came to was implementing a traffic system with moving vehicles would've been too difficult and having completely static vehicles like the first game would've been an immersion breaker given the size of the hub. You can excuse it when it's only like 2 streets but multiple city blocks with no moving cars would've been weird.

you die if the masquerade meter fills up, first of all. and you get more loosh if you drain them dry, not just bite them and run away. if you do it in the open then you won't have time to drain them and escape without breaking the masquerade, because using vampire speed and agility hurts it too. but yeah sure, you can just bite someone quickly and run away, but you're getting like 1/5 of what you'd get if you did it right so that's a dumbass way to approach it.

They should've leaned way harder into the Blaxploitation thing. It's obvious from the aesthetic they were going for but none of the characters are Putney Swope or Black Dynamite.
>>
>>724437997
I had to mute streams when I heard the Nosferatu talking, but any Elder, especially one who was in torpor and wasn't keeping up with modern times who was spoken to like he spoke to you should just behead the fag and deal with the consequences of doing so later.

>>724438102
Why do people just make shit up like this? for the (you)s? Is the Masquerade meter more forgiving if you play on easy, or did you even play it?

Arkane Austin completely fell of, but I have no news of Arkane Lyon post Colantonio.

>>
>>724438110
The snowy streets are actually a reasonably good excuse for why there is no traffic. I have no clue about Seattle but during particularly nasty snowstorms, and Seattle’s is said to be brutal, where i’m at in the lower midwest, all roads close and only emergency vehicles can be out. We do see the ambulance in one of the delivery quests so maybe that’s all that’s allowed to be out?
>>
>>724438132
That's not the point you fucking stupid cow worshiper. The point is that you can BITE SOMEONE IN FRONT OF COPS, then run away and the meter goes down, meaning no masquerade violation. Goddamn retarded fucking shill piece of shit. Your parents hate you.

>>724438256
desperate for attention, huh? People get bit on the streets every day in Seattle. it's no big deal.
>>
>>724438236
Deathloop was disappointing after Prey and Dishonored but I think people are coming around to the fact it has a nice aesthetic, is still a real im sim, and has a really good idea, just that the execution could’ve been better.
>>
>>724438184
Yeah, I think if they leaned harder on 60's and 70's action movies and had more of the aesthetic the cover and initial reveal trailer had the game could have been more popular but ultimately it does a few things incorrectly enough that you notice the bad flow. A big issue too is that it's clearly a roguelike scenario but they don't lean into it as hard

not for purposes of getting that blood type because you'll get less, so you'll have to do that at least 2-3x more times for the same result.

>Fabien is a unreliable narrator
>which is why in his head he went back to Fletcher to talk and Pandora gets killed and propped up in like 10 seconds, he didnt actually go back, he did it, its why Fletcher doesnt notice someone entering his sanctum and killing her: because he already asked Fabien to get rid of her.
>Misty refers to the one that she was afraid of as "her savior", and Fabien saved Misty by embracing her, pretty obvious that she saw Fabien killing the guy in front of the auto shop and then ran
>Tolly repeatedly teases Fabien about it because he knows Fabiens head has been fucked with nonstop
>the copycat killings are Fabiens way of subconciously leaving himself a memo to remind himself of the original case and crack it, Campbell even mentions that he cracked it in days this time, way faster than usual, when he confronts Campbell at the warehouse
Now it isnt clear if this was influenced by Gideon fucking with this head or Fabien is doing this trough his own schizo malk powers (which is something he theorizes in his final convo)
Keep in mind the copycat victims were all human, not ghouls or vampires, way easier to kill

From experiments, as far as I can tell:
- the meter fills differently depending on the number of people on the streets. You can go from nothing to middle+ yellow just climbing a pipe if you brought enough people in front of it.
- You can feed on someone in the middle of a main street without it even filling if you time it right, or are lucky enough that the NPC spawned far enough from witnesses.
- some areas seem to have their own rules - I got the bar to fill right beside the glass of weaver tower with no witness around.
- if you get killed by Tolly for getting the red bar filled up, you get a penalty loss on accumulated ichor.
- If a witness saw you break the masquerade into the yellow and called a cop, the cop finding you can get the alarm to go to red instantly.

There's a lto of neat stuff with the hunting sub-sytems, but the game trivializes the whole thing so much (if only becasue of the constantly full character spawning all around) you barely need to interact with it, sadly.

>So he's not invincible? He doesn't fucking effortlessly kill you, AN ELDER, if you cross him? He doesn't have a nonsensical fucking ending where he can rise to the top despite being an ugly nobody faggot?
AND I'm calling you a faggot, as a bonus. Leftists trying to act smart by calling ad hominem incorrectly will never stop being funny.

Let me rephrase that, I guess: the game strongly implies that its /is/ Fabien, it /is/ the most likely explanation, but I do enjoy that it does not state it with any certainty as far as I could see.
The whole Fabien situation is bleak when you remove the protective persona and I think it works all the better for the uncertainty.

The biggest issue this game has is that nothing you do matters
Clan choice doesn't matter
"X was irritated by that" literally doesn't matter
Failed the mask of a thousand faces vibe check - doesn't matter
Broke masquerade for the 100th time by clawing a civilian to death in the middle of the street - doesn't matter

>>724439865
I think having a serial killer in your head is more cool that way but his personality doesn't actually vibe with it very well. If they wanted that approach to make more sense Fabien should at least be pro-active in saying you should commit murders, not that there's ever a moral choice in this game on that end

>"X was irritated by that" literally doesn't matter
Doesn't matter /much/. Which is so sad, because the system seems robust enough to accomodate some interesting situations if properly put to use.
Being able to obtain opposing reactions from Ryong's last conversations with the very same answers because I had played a totally different character in each playthrough was so cool.
I agree with you the game is too lenient with its sub-systems, like it's afraid people won't bother with them and/or designer couldn't find the fun-to-tedium balance.

>>724440560
The detective persona is here to mask his guilt - the closer we get to an acknowledgment is him theorizing he embraced out of spite, to get a form of power back in his life.
I think he neither enjoys nor wants to do what he does. So him breaking the mask would need a pretty delicate touch.

Mm hmm hm hmm.
Do you have any idea how insignificant your posts are? When they start 404ing the thread, you will be but a ban on their screens.

what are /v/'s honest opinion on this games interpretation of Malks vs the first one? all of them are insane but I kinda prefer this one since they are not just some lol so random, but there's still some certain charm about Malks on VTMB1
>>
>>724438703
>threw away the lore entirely.
I call bullshit? I mean, call hem surface level if you will, but the game is filled with references to the game line, from Mikael's Dream, to the Giovanni Chronicle, to Fall of London to VtM Redemption, Bloodlines 1 obviously, and more general RPG lore, V5 or otherwise.
>>
>>724441316
I like the way the bloodlines 1 delved deeper into the Malkavian lore. In Redemption there is just a mention of them until you end up in New York City.
>>
>>724440432
the fuck are you talking about? tolly was fine in alpha, the new tolly is an annoying faggot that bitches about anything. Nossys used to be chill secret vamps, not annoying faggots out in open all the time

I felt nothing. It's funny how the game tries so hard to make you like him.
>>
>>724441337
>the g-game has references!!

ignore the fact you play as a 400 elder vampire even weakened can fuck up everyone easily and also the fact the safia and phyre should of been roasted into flames when they came in contact with sunlight in the end, or the fact a random vampire can break the masquerade to kill you for fucking breaking the masquerade? it's all fucking retarded cmon bro
>>
>>724441316
Bloodline 1 Malks are rather far from Lulsorandumb even if there's a few situations, but you have to play the game once or twice to really understand where the symbolism of your genuinely disturbed and schizo responses leads to. But on the other hand, Malks are generally not supposed to be cripplingly insane for the most part so Fabien and Gideon are alright on that end. The only problem is they have unenjoyable personalities and the clan curse doesn't really show as much as it should. Not that every detective should have to ramble on like nonsense but if you've ever played Disco Elysium Harry is pretty much a Malkavian with the way his latent schizophrenia gives him crime solving superpowers
Fabien is a bit like that in some regards but because his entire story isn't very personal and his schizoid nature isn't well represented it doesn't have the same appeal
>>
>>724441316
I have nothing against fishmalks as long as they're entertaining.
Bloodlines 1 focused more on the whole collective conscioussness aspect with the MC, and the powers getting out of control with Grout.
Bloodlines 2 cares more about the individual's story for better and worse. I think the idea of psychometry being a conversation for Fabien was actually pretty nice, if overused. My main regret is Gideon, actually. Unlesss I'm missing something there's not enough to build anything interesting out of him. And he seemed so promissing too.
>>
>people in the thread saying this pozzed piece of shit cobbled together has a decent to good story
thats how I know this place fucking sucks
>>
>>724441802
Gideon should be a Malkavian too but yeah he's just a background extra. I think he might be expanded upon in the DLC but I wouldn't keep my hopes up
>>
>>724441859
Yeah I don't get it either. Must be redditors or unironic shills.
>>
>>724441683
Saying the game does retarded things with the lore and claiming "it threw away the lore entirely" are two very different propositions.
The later is patently false. The former I very much agree with.
No need to throw around false accusations when there's enough real ones to keep us occupied.
>>
>>724441683
>phyre should have been roasted into flames
I'm not a lore fag, but they conveniently mention how vamphyre is extremely resilient, like that's how he must've survived the moscow fires or some shit.
>>
I kinda understand why there are no playable Nosferatu's now, the thought of a Nosferatu sheriff sounds so wrong. Lou would be the laughing stock of the Camarilla if she hired an ugly piece of shit as her lawman

It probably can be but it won't be because nobody cares enough. Just like Starfield.

>>724441316

> Nosferatu
> Bad option for a Sheriff

Fuckers have Obfuscate and Potence: a strong Nos as a Sheriff would be scary as hell (and if that's not enough, they also have Animalism, so you can add a horde of ghouled rats/dogs to his arsenal, not to mention the capacity of manipulating the Beast of other Kindred).
Not to mention that Sheriff can be more than a big scary fucker (most civilised domains have Sheriffs that aren't just executioners: but something closer to an actual authority) so one from a clan known for information gathering would be an amazing fit.

The gameplay lead on the game said that he was always an advocate for being able to stealth through as many encounters as possible (he was hired for his experience working on Crysis and Alien Isolation), and says that while he can't promise anything, the complaints people have about being forced into combat is a high priority for him.

I didn't know that about the padlocks, good to know. I was annoyed sometimes after stealthing through an area and then being forced to kill everyone anyway to open the door. Sometimes I think it was because they couldn't spend the money on additional reactivity and voice lines, if you got through there nonlethally. Plus I guess vampires don't really care that much about killing people/things, usually

I like that stealth is actually viable on some of the boss fights, but stealth in general is kinda shit. It feels like its a coin flip if the banu crawl or invisibility even work. You have those moments where you can chain abilities together and wipe out an entire room to make up for it, I guess.
>>
>>724423480
100% they have no taste nor the ability to appreciate a good game with good atmosphere. That game is TEEMING with atmosphere and whole I am not a fan of some of the modern levels I still cherish the game.
>>
>>724444013
why be such a fag and act like it's weird that some massive vampire doesn't get knocked back as far as a random human. it's like you never even throw people off rooftops lmao

Despite that, unlike our simp MC, she is allowed to have a legion of Blood Dolls that worship her (even after her death).

Nomad is probably the most pathetic Elder in the setting.

Terribly based.

My older bro runs a v20 DA game for our friend group since 2015 that started from the Dark ages and is currently taking place in the wild west.
So far we went through interesting events, we also have a parallel modern Campaign that's lit.
I think we'll do a Roman prequel soon.
