What are the must have mods for this game? Also is it true the GoG version has a lore breaking fan patch applied to it?
>GoG>poleslopNot retro.
>>12114027>Not retro.It came out in 2004.
>>12114016you can disable the stuff you think is lore breaking on the install of the patch but you kinda NEED the fan patch to actually run the game on modern hardware in the first place.
>>12114016You only need this to play it as pure as possible:https://www.nexusmods.com/vampirebloodlines/mods/197
>>12114016Now you can play as her.https://www.moddb.com/games/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines/addons/poofyjeanette
>>12114016>the OO in blOOdlines made to look like boobsBased
>>12114027Came out before half life 2
>>12114016GoG patches a lot of games with dubious or outdated fan patches. It's really bad for game preservation, just a bunch of vultures.
>>12114016The fan patch is optional on GoG I believe. But it does fix a lot of bugs and can leave out the cut content
>>12114016No, the patch is fine. It's Plus patch that you can add optionally that some people get uptight about. There is a decades old feud still happening so thats why you will see people get psycho about it. Don't get caught up in autistic drivel and just have fun. Basic Patch is fine and the Standard Patch sounds cool, haven't tried it yet. Every patch is not the most pure because the game was heavily unfinished so there are always going to be some changes.
>>12114016GOG version has the fan patch pre-installed, which is basically required to run the game. I think the "lore-breaking fan patch" you're talking about is the Plus Patch, which either isn't included with the GOG version at all or is optional when you install it.
>>12114212It isn't. They do leave the original files in the folders though, with a renamed extension.
>>12114227>>12114234Basic patch has many odd changes. Wesp is autistic as hell.
>>12114227Is it the Plus patch that adds in a gay vampire clan? I remember seeing that in one of the patches years ago and thought it was one of the cringiest things ever.
The only egregious change that I'm aware of was wesp replacing the CLASSIC music at the thin blood beach with some other unused music file he found in the game's data. Fuck that shit. Stop tinkering you retard.
>>12114030>>12114192Here you today.
>>12114287No, not sure what mod you had
>>12114241Anyone making patches for a broken 2004 vampire game is autistic
is there anything i should know before playing this game?
>>12114874He started making patches right after it released, he's been working on it continually for 20 years. There's 'autism' and then there's autism.>>12114971Nope.
>>12114732did sealguy draw that?
Is there an aim down sights mod for this game?
Flashback to this.
so the UP on gog is the game and patch? guess i play that one
>>12115442Do they have it in your language?
hows controller support on this with UP?t. disablefag
Should i get the shaders with the basic patch?
>>12115534Use steam and someone already has a controller layout you can download.
For whatever it's worth, both of White Wolf's successor companies consider the fan patch to be lore-compliant. Hell, there's another mod by the (admittedly more woke of the two's) community manager to make the plus patch fit fully in the lore.https://www.moddb.com/mods/x20-mod
>>12114971Vampire: the Masquerade is the inspiration for every insufferable-goth-theater-kid trope you've ever seen or read. You're going to cringe if you try to take it seriously.Don't play Malkavian first time through.Don't open it.
>>12116029Malkavians are seen to be extremely problematic by modern White Wolf and Jeanette in particular.
>>12116036how so? representation of neurodivergent people is "a good thing". also two strong self-made female characters. slay queen. the only thing they need to change is to make her bi, desu.
>>12114016The best mod is the ||titties|| mod
>>12116142They aren't neuro divergent and don't behave like people that do. The problem is that people like you think that's how this unfortunate disorder looks like.
>>12115262These weren't bad co-op games desu. Better then anything else they did with the IP.>>12116031>Don't play Malkavian first time through.I think first time Malk is the only real way to play desu. It provides a unique experience I've never seen replicated. You have to dicipher the poetic flowery language of the Malks all the while not knowing if they are just crazy or if they are predicting the future. If you play them on a second run there is no mystery since you know the plot.
>>12116572Bullshit. Malks are portrayed as mental illness and weird compulsions nowadays because every goddamned Malkavian in the 90s and 2000s was either lol-I-hit-u-with-a-fish random (hence the name "fishmalk") or else completely delusional and acting like a stereotype. Sometimes, if the were feeling spicy, when they'd just go for tragically out of touch with reality. Usually this would be another person at the table forcing the idea onto the Malk's player against their will.It's not wokeness, we all just got sick of the normie takes limiting things. And even among wokies, Bloodlines Malks are considered to be well-written takes on those concepts. Go back to /pol/.
>>12116503Outsider!
>>12116924>normie
>>12116927Normie in this context means "average tabletop RPG player." Admittedly that's pretty far out of normal normal.

>>12114016I have the Steam version for clean installs. If you're looking for patches these are your optionsIf you want to play pure vanilla, the speedrunner patch gets it running on modern hardware and just has a patch for a negative memory issue >https://lurk.moe/vtmb/doku.php?id=setting_up_the_gameA popular patch is Wesp's Unofficial Patch, GoG comes with this one pre-installed. The Plus version can be fanficky since it's "restoring cut content". The Basic version is more bugfix focused, though it does also has random non-bug changes scattered around, like changing the tutorial spawn or leaving random doors unlocked to make the game easier.>https://www.moddb.com/mods/vtmb-unofficial-patchThere's another patch from /vrpg/ that's pretty close to vanilla, where an anon combined the old True Patch with some technical fixes from the Unofficial Patch. The only change I noticed was Jeanette walking around her room, supposedly because the original patchmaker liked staring at her ass in motion.>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jhApzLHOp0oCSa4FWzxCvsVfivWywGM2/viewBesides picking a patch, I also like using the eye texture replacer mod>https://www.moddb.com/games/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines/addons/eye-replacerAfter your first or second playthrough, if you weren't already using the Unofficial Patch, I'd say definitely switch over for the extra Plus experience and a lot of mods expect you to be using it. You could also play using the Clan Quest Mod at this point, it comes preinstalled with an old version of the Unofficial Patch and you can select things like the Companion Mod Lite on install. Some of the stuff in it can be hit or miss, but it's a decent enough experience.>https://www.moddb.com/mods/vtmb-clan-quest-mod
>>12117159>not hot>hotSorry, hot wins
>>12117387Cum feels good in between the teeth
>>12114108The .7 version is closer to vanilla than the Unofficial Patch basic, but it still includes extra changes from it. The .8 version adds in new content similarly to the plus patch. There isn't really a vanilla only patch unfortunately.
>>12114868The plus patch adds in "Homosexual" as a character history.
>>12116029>white wolf tries to say troika's own story can't be true because caine was somewhere else or something>but the fan patch which changes in-game lore that troika themselves wrote is lore compliantwhite wolf is dumb
>>12116924Go back to playing VTMB2.
>>12117387>t. media illiterate
>>12115017This game is barely held together with tape and chewing gum, attempting to introduce an ADS system would throughly break the game I am sure
>>12118849What se company owning the White Wolf says is unimportant.Only the word of Mark Rein-Hagen counts. He said it's not canon and that's all there is to it. Paradox can only shit out slop and should be nuked.
>>12118890There should be a mod that just replaces all the gameplay completely, like with a point-and-click adventure game structure or something, while keeping the story and voice acting. Just rip out all that crap
>>12117250Thanks for the list anon. I'm tempted to go with the one /vrpg/ made.
