#VTMB2

also "silent protagonists aren't immersive" my "immersion" in a game has been broken so much more by voiced protagonists saying The Wrong Fucking Thing than it has been by me having to use my brain to read dialogue options.

vtmb may be buggy as hell. it may have textures that load incorrectly sometimes so you've got doors that are half a stop sign. but i still get so drawn into the story that the ocean house hotel level manages to scare me every time. it's still so so tragic to watch how heather descends into her obsession with you if you make her your ghoul. it's satisfying to be able to have 5 different ways to tell lacroix to go fuck himself. and it's fascinating how, depending on which clan you pick, you have an entirely different experience - not just playstyle-wise, but interaction-wise as well! there's certain dialogue with maximillian strauss you only get if you're a tremere. your opinion of gary golden is going to change MASSIVELY depending on whether you play a nosferatu or a toreador.

voiced protagonists don't create immersion. fancy bells and whistles don't create immersion. good writing does.

Words you definitely don't want to see a deputy CEO of a video game publisher to say.

You may be old, but are you old enough to remember the Black Death?

Then you might just be a vampire.

People getting mad at these two designs for male and female protagonist in new VtM:B game as if these games' main design philosophy wasn't insane freedom of expression and gameplay. If you wanna make your female PC into a Bimbonator 3000 walking around in basically lingerie and sleeping her way to the top I assure you it will be not only possible, but encouraged by some routes (Malkavian, Toreador). EDIT: As it turns out, you can't play as Bimbonator 3000 and these are very tightly fixed characters, so this is basically a vampire themed GTA which is disappointing. I will still dunk on gamerdudes for getting mad the female character "looks like a man" as if being female magically gave you an hourglass figure and huge rack.

I’m not going to finish this ngl.

girls don't want vtmb2 with a preset voiced protagonist. they want remastered vtmb with a full character creator, the homophobia and racism and xenophobia removed, AND the ability to kiss a nosferatu sloppy style

tbh vtmb2 would have been better if it WASNT a quote on quote successor to bloodlines. idk. it just doesn’t have the same level as cunt as bloodlines. it looks more action based which would be cool if it wasn’t a sequel to an amazing rpg. i think a bloodlines 2 set in seattle would be amazing if it wasn’t what’s being teased

by the way the comments on the post are hilarious

A more in-depth interview with Paradox Interactive VP of World of Darkness Sean Greaney, as well as Alex Skidmore, creative director of Bloodlines 2!

Still set in Seattle, now during a holiday snowstorm

The most shocking thing here is we play an Elder. In v5! An elder!!!

who attracts SI attention oh dear

The article author speculates we will have something like The Dark Urge in Baldur's Gate 3, which encourages the player to pick up their pre-nap time personality and goals.

not having at the very least malks in vtmb 2 is a federal offense in my book
