>Writer of vtmb1 spends over a year writing the script for 2>Paradox looks at it and throws it away last minute and has random hacks rewrite the story instead WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
>>737528332They weren't, and Paradox regrets making this game.
>>737528332https://youtu.be/6xRCZePzzqM?si=KmBtFpJw5J0PTIpJThe original build of the game was an actual rpg
>>737528669The girl in the thumb and at 27mins looks like PureRuby87 without the implantsI would play this game I have no interest in, if the OP titqueen still was Hendricksmaxxing
>>737528332The story isn't even in the top 3 worst parts of VTMB2 honestly. The story is serviceable. Shitty characters, empty open world, bland combat, no guns, bad performance, etc.
There were actually two major versions of the story under Hardsuit. The game was rebooted in 2018 after Hardsuit blew through all the pre-production money and Paradox ordered a review of the game, and the decision was made to pivot and this involved scrapping all the work Chris Avellone had done.Then 2020 came around and Paradox reviewed the game after all the voice acting had been recorded and concluded the game sucked and one of their chief problems was the writing and story. One leak describes it as being like an amateurishly executed Owlcat game, a series of sidequests that didn't gel into an interesting or compelling narrative.So the entire team got booted. And the new writing team of Dan Pinchbeck and Sarah Longthorne took over and draft a new story. Which also underwent revisions. Pinchbeck left in 2023 and was replaced by Ian Thomas, the writer of Amnesia: Rebirth who proceeded to scrap and retool major elements of the plot to make Fabien a quirkly Malkavian detective and co-protagonist. So really this is the FOURTH retooled version of this game. The character Fabien was originally the game's villain and Elif was his underling. Elif became Cemile, and Cemile became Safia. Originally a Tzimisce pretending to be a Tremere, she was hastily rewritten at the last minute into a Tremere who just coincidentally happens to act a whole fucking lot like a Tzimisce.
>>737529924They're working on the open world, combat, guns, and performance. But we'll see how much they can improve. There is a third, unannounced DLC coming later in the year that might try to address the sidequests, since it deals with Niko, one of the main sidequest vendors. But yea, short term they're adding melee weapons next week and guns in two months to the game, which is going to significantly impact the core mechanics.
>>737528332I don't like to talk about it.
Looks bussin', but Damsel is, once again, nothing but a glorified cameo.
>>737528332More like Woke of Darkness, amIright?
>>737528332>>737530927>Mitsoda blows all of his good will failing to kowtow to Paradox or finding a suitable dev studioReally, everyone was the retard for once.
>>737528332The original devs were actually more incompetent than the devs that crapped out what ended up being VTMB2. Do you think Paradox fired them because they were doing a great job and the game looked amazing? No. The game was never going to come out, ever. Besides that, the original devs went full woketard anyway. There is never any hope in the game being good.
>>737531587Damsel is VTM's glup shitto at this point. She has like 5 lines in the DLC one of which is, "LATERS, KNUCKLES!" in that voice she now has caused by a British woman trying to put on a American accent.
>>737528332At least the Hunter game looks closer to Bloodlines.
it sounded like Mitsoda hired a bunch of useless bluehairs who hired more of their purplehaired friends and ended up sucking the Kickstarter funds dry before somehow getting Mitsoda kicked off the project instead of themselves. I'll blame Mitsoda on that he hired those "devs" and then wouldn't fire them when he should've.really the show should've been shuttered at that moment. Mitsoda was the one carrying the torch for VtMB, he was the one who worked on the first, without him they had zero connection to that game.
>>737528332IDK but you can't convince me whatever Mitsoda wrote was worse than the shit we got at the end.
>>737535470What's wrong with the final game's writing? It's better than the first game Mitsoda worked on. Bloodlines 1 has an utterly rubbish story.
>>737528332Thinking?
