Ah, VtM - proof that the vampire concept doesn't have to be dripping with tween angst and hormones. And yeah, I think I might reinstall Bloodlines now.

Here's hoping the MMO can be something more like Bloodlines and less like... WoW.

Sadly, I see it turning out little more than, "Kill 10 Random Gangbangers and bring me their armbands!"

Oh, and apparently living under the tyranny of Prince XxAlucard124343xX who can have your character effectively deleted, because apparently giving real power over other people to random assholes on the internet registered as a good idea somewhere.

Man, I had quite a laugh during the game-like conversation.

Great now i want to play VtMB, where can i find a copy?

It's on Steam. Although Steam version have some really crappy textures for some reason .

OT: Wow, power upgrade system in this game is incredibly unbalanced. Also, "dessert trolley" metaphor made me lol.

If you install the ENB series graphics mod it looks much much better

Yrp that's my case too. was already installed... When someone will try again to a game like this?

Well, Troika Games died, and White Wolf (who own VtM) went mental and decided to pack in all the awesome camptacular vampires-as-goth-superheroes shit in favour of rebooting everything while making it all depressingly trad and Anne Riceish.

So in short no, that particular horse has died and been made into lasagne.

But yes, we live in hope that eventually someone will figure out that basically remaking Deus Ex using an interesting and established roleplaying setting is a good idea, and on that day much happiness will be had by all mankind.

You know they are doing a MMO with Mascarade setting right?

Wasn't that just the game that was instead made into Secret World? Because from what I recall hearing, they took a massive U-turn on the whole vampire thing, tapped on humans with powers, and tried to make it "appeal to the wider audience", which, being an MMO, obviously failed.

Oh dear God. Hopefully it wont be as grindtastic as Eve is, then.

EDIT: Thanks for the links, though.

Yes, one could talk like they are going through a dialogue tree. I prefer the Metal Gear method, where one takes up to two words mentioned in the previous sentence and repeats it, but as a question.

"I just bought a new entertainment system for my living room."
"Entertainment system?"

Metal Gear?
