Persuade me to play Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Why should I give a fuck what you play?

Deus Ex with Vampires and a tenth of QA.

it makes my peepee tingle

It's buggy liberal trash. Stay far away.

It's no longer a cult classic so don't play it

Female armor set is ass less chaps and this was the game that taught me all chaps are ass less thanks internets.

Its the best rpg concerning story and atmosphere, the combat is mediocre though.
Also its the best game about vampires.

>If you don't specialize in combat the game becomes almost unplayable
You only need like 4 or 5 points in some combat stats to do okay. You don't need to specialize.

What's the best clan and why is it Ventrue?

you got me at lesbian vampires

Guys, i'm about to begin my first playthrough, but before that its probably a good thing to get some mods going, right?
Which would you recommend me?
Games just installing on steam rn.

Just install the Unofficial Patch basic version for the bug fixes. Don't use the plus version yet, no reason to change the game's content if you haven't even played vanilla once.

Jiggly boobies

>Animations are janky
>Combat is shit
>Characters are annoying
>Dialogue is extremely hit or miss, either realistic or 9th grade Hot Topic poetry
>Environments look like empty Garry's Mod maps with NPCs scattered around
>90% of the lore is given to you through loading screens
>Essential NPCs
There is literally nothing here for you if you aren't/weren't a goth at one point or another or if you don't hold the early 2000s in high esteem.
I'm convinced the game only gets praise because of people popping stiffies to Jeanette

Unofficial patch basic, it's an option during installation. Avoid Malkavian and Nosferatu for a first playthrough. Open it if want a blasting ending.

I would want to give this a try but I dont have a PC. Game must be a real mess for never had any ports

Which patch number is it? 9.0 ? 10.0?

Not a single mod? Not even texturepacks or smth. like that? I thought the game is pretty old, so the graphics are prolly pretty outdated.

It's full of politics about how Republicans are bad. There's gay and bisexual characters. Lots of incest overtones at a certain part, casual sex without protection etc.

There's a literal socialist character and the game punishes you for helping anyone but the anarchist/antifa faction.

You mean the Giovani mission? I can barely remember anything about that part other than running around in a crypt for hours.

what's this guy's problem?

If you need to be convinced you don't have any real desire to play it.

Just play it if you want to, you don't need validation.

Even then Nines explicitly tells you that you need to know how to fight and that persuasion won't always work

Oooo, spooky light explode and child laughs, SCARIEST LEVEL OF ALL TIME
What a fucking joke, this game is a complete let down

Nothing. It's just people whining.

I take it you haven't gotten to the theater yet, shit gets much spookier.

How did people convince themselves you wouldn't need combat in vtmb? Lacroix is an absolute twat if you refuse him at any point, the Sabbat nearly lynch you on the street as revenge, and there's side quests where you have no choice but to fight people.

The first couple missions can be done with conversations or stealth, so most people figured the rest of the game would be that as well. Plus, the comparisons to Deus Ex led people to think that you could potentially pacifist your way through.

To some degree, it's kind of a failing of the game that you can't consistently use social skills throughout, since the last third or so is nothing more than dungeon crawling combat that wouldn't be out of place in an early 80s D&D campaign.

When someone mentions this game someone will play it.

The trailer had nothing to do with that junk, it's people latching on interviews where the devs say they want things to be more "inclusive" and said they want to veer from stereotype characters

A moment of silence for any vtmb fans that always wanted another video game in the World of Darkness but didn't live to see it happen.

Do you want to play as a vampire in a political mess set in a beautiful gothic LA with a kickass soundtrack? Can you tolerate some questionable levels and choices in the latter part of the game as well as some (or lots depending on your lucK) glitches? Can you download a fix patch?
If the answer is yes then go play it because bloodlines 2 is going to be chock full of uber progressive bullshit if everything out of paradox's mouth and white wolf's pen for v5 is indication.

The story was pretty much revolving around him at that point. I'm not saying you can't be partially right, but they'd have to start from scratch to get around his character's disappearance. Considering how many liberties they've already taken with the lore/TT rules I'm not really surprised at the outcome.

I don't think Andrei would have wasted time calling her if she weren't.

I like the idea that she's a Nozzy, using her show to encourage "crazies" to call in with their stories, laugh at them while also gleeming any possibility of supernatural truth behind them. The way she shuts down that guy at the end for stumbling onto real vampires was very telling.

Tzimmies have the Sabbat at their beck and call, the Tremere slid their way into the Camarilla by being useful but nobody really likes/trusts them generally.

Honestly I'd trust a Malk over a Tremere.

Because if you don't the Tremere will make you vomit your guts out. They're powerful and well educated vampires. You don't just fuck with them. Like asking why any vampire tolerates any other vampire.

He obviously is. All vampires are manipulative bastards, and anarchs are portrayed as hypocritical zealots.

But user, you forget. Hunters are Batman, but take to an extreme.

With no prep time against what they're hunting... they're straight up fucked.

might replay this shit tbqh

Why must you spoil my fun user.

What happens when a vampire feeds from someone who has heroin in their system? Seems like it'll be relevant for Seattle.

Dumbass the game is based on a tabletop rpg that was 90s to the core regardless of when it was actually developed. Hell gehenna was basically y2k

They vote Democrat

Except the game canonically takes place in 2004 you dumb motherfucker?

I think they get high from it for a little bit

Probably gets high.

Oh a fun note, if a vampire feeds on someone with AIDs, they become a plague bearer and will transfer it indefinitely to others, as the disease will never leave their system

Hunters are hostile to mages?
Aren't they just humans+?

If we're going to be using 'it was set in the year it was released' then its impossible for the game to be set in 2004 since the world of darkness ended in January of that year and bloodlines is obviously pre time of judgement.

what do inquisitors think of witches?

I'm replayan right now. still just as good as I remembered in the good parts and just as bad in the bad parts

wut

doesn't it become inert?

Canoncially it is still firmly set in the 2000s, ie the Bush references
Still not 90s, slick.

True Faith and Avatars don't mix. Hunters are agents of Consensus Reality and Mages make Paradox, ergo Hunters hate Mages.

Nope, in fact there is a quest in Bloodlines where you hunt down a Plguebearer

What fucking references? I've played through it twice and I cant remember any

Which clan do you find the most fun to play?

Brujah or Gangrel

You can joke to VV that vampire hierarchy and internal conflict reminds you of the Bush administration

You don't catch it, but you transmit it. You're sent to maim the population of Plaguebearers in LA.

>He's writing a movie about the Bush administration?

Brujah. Celerity and melee was fun.

Thats bullshit and I hate it and by extension you. But you're right.
Its still 90s as fuck though.

Just remembered I still have this game installed. I stopped playing 2 years ago because I got stuck doing something I can't remember at the hospital. I think I might start over. Can you guys share tips? Is Celerity good?

What about alcohol?
I'd imagine some vamps have their victim drink before the kiss.

Don't be a faggot
Getting past the janky animations, gameplay, dialogue, maps, characters, etc. etc. will take considerably more effort that isn't worth expending

the thing is, no drug compares to the feel of feeding

>>hunter laughs at you when you discover hunters actually have a wide variety of protection from supernatural effects and mind control
So hunters in the game and the Leopold Society mission in particular were just poorly done?

They do. Its in the books. Lots of cool little shit like that in the books.

Hunters are unironically one of the most powerful owod groups, at least when they get rolling. They have a power that lets them basically nullify a supernatural's abilities.

Celerity is one of the best disciplines, and by far the most fun, especially if you use guns. The only useless one is Auspex. Inspection and Haggle are also useless.

Without a doubt the best game I've ever played. It has its problems but these can be fixed by mods. I went through as a Ventrue and it was great. The soundtrack is also amazing.

there's 2 kinds of hunters
generic hunters that you come across, some have true faith

and Hunters™ which are their own splat, and have crazy powers n shit

If you're still only at the beginning you might as well restart.

yes
Bach by all rights and reasons should have frozen you in place with a glance and burned you with no effort

but Society of Leopold is top tier hunters sanctioned by the Church, they should have just thrown lower level local hunters at you who aren't so tough

I can't even remember. I know I got past the hunted hotel and I think I has just unlocked another area.

VtM as a setting is largely late-90's early 2000's gothic punk, but Bloodlines mainly focuses on the degeneracy and absurdity of modern day city dwellers. While 9/11 changed the world quite drastically, the aesthetic and atmosphere of 2004 is not very different to the late 90's. I would say 2007 is the year where the world began to resemble our current hyper-connected information era, except now politics and media are even more dominant in people's lives.

>They have a power that lets them basically nullify a supernatural's abilities.
As in only externally manifesting powers (i.e. Disciplines) or any and all abilities?

>Bach by all rights and reasons should have frozen you in place with a glance and burned you with no effort
That's some prime bullshit right there. So what, he'd do the same to a garou as well? What about a mage?

Thanks. What are some good non-combat skills? I'm having trouble deciding between seduction, persuasion and hacking.

I WANT TO SUCK ON SOME GOTHS BIG TITTIES

Did I need to have grew up in the goth subculture of the early 2000s to enjoy this?
I just got to Downtown LA and can say with certainty I hate this game.

How does a top tier Hunter rank up vs others?
Is there anyone they're helpess against?

>As in only externally manifesting powers (i.e. Disciplines) or any and all abilities?
Its been a long time and I dont have the hunter books on my hard-drive anymore but iirc it turns them into a human equivalent. No super speed, no super strength, no regen.
>That's some prime bullshit right there. So what, he'd do the same to a garou as well? What about a mage?
Mages aren that strong really but yeah Hunter powers affect them all. Only Demons are stronger than them but Demons are just walking piles of OP bullshit.

Hacking and lockpicking are both great and mandatory for some sidequests. Persuasion is superior to seduction in most cases, and seduction is garbage if you're male, basically only used for a handful of female NPCs and for free feeding in clubs. It's pretty good for female characters however. But you can play however you want. Inspection and Haggle are the only truly worthless skills.

true faith is broke as fuck when dealing with supernaturals and yes it would work on a werewolf
as for mages it can shut down magic from functioning

that said, if a hunter is going after a mage it's probably because the technocracy handed the mage to them on a golden platter

Mages are strong as fuck in this setting.

>mages arent that strong

Attached: VqEj1Pl.gif (450x252, 888K)

You can suck rats

In a capped xp cross splat game the mage will rank below the changeling, werewolf, vamp, hunter and demon. Crunchwise they're just not that good and every other splat has a way to murderfuck them.

>No super speed, no super strength, no regen.
No blood drinking either? Because otherwise a vampire at least has a chance of latching onto a hunter and at least weakening him.

>Only Demons are stronger than them but Demons are just walking piles of OP bullshit.
From what I've read they were a really fun concept. One of the reasons I don't really care about nWoD.

Should I use the plus patch for my second play through?

Pretty sure they keep the fangs. And yes demons are fun, but they're still bullshit.

>cross splat game
tbqh, while technically they're all World of Darkness, none of the games are really set up for cross splat play

>and yes it would work on a werewolf
So a garou in its battle form (or whatever it's called correctly) would do what? Turn back into his starting form?

Huh?
So does truth faith de-transform a werewolf?
Without their gifts they're still bigger and stronger than a human.

>If you don't specialize in combat the game becomes almost unplayable
BULLSHIT. I had one point in Celerity and one point in Firearms and was able to Shotgun my way through the sewers no problem on my Social focused Toreador on my first playthrough.

>Estrogen: A testosterone replacement and that's a good thing.

Game sucks and it aged like milk. I still don't understand why Yea Forums pretends to love it so much.

Mages are just handicapped in combat user. With the penalties to vulgar magic and the problems with paradox they just cant compete.
A vampire or a changeling or a demon or a hunter can throw a fireball no problem. A mage might get bitch slapped by reality if he tries to do the same and is better off using a gun.

yup
but true faith hunters are pretty rare, but when they do occur and start roaming it's a case of run away as fast as you can or hide from them

sure, it changes things up in a way that makes sense, and restored stuff is nice too - replay is exactly what it's for and what it's been kept alive for

>From what I've read they were a really fun concept. One of the reasons I don't really care about nWoD.
they are the reason that werewolfs canon turned into dog fuckers worshiping gaia aka a angel who is friends with liliths vampire child and mages being people with angel soul in them

I'm entirely convinced it's solely because of Jeanette, the rest of the game sucks shit

>Estrogen: Take your pills Alice

Estrogen. Take if male.

Are they at least still vulnerable to being sniped from several hundred meters?

it'll be onions

They are not immortal/invulnerable. Just humans on a mission from God.
Like the Blues Brothers, but with more bloodshed.

The writing is already guaranteed to be infinitely better than the upcoming sequel, and its very good.

Yeah, I think they can also make a werewolf think everything is silver but I might be wrong on that

Anyone understand what this user is trying to say?

>they are the reason
Why? I vaguely remember anons complaining about the new books but it was some time ago now.
Also everyone should just keep old versions intact when doing major revisions.

The sequel is going to be shit because its being written for V5 in mind.
He's not wrong. V5 is a mess. The only good part of it was Becketts Diary and I'm pretty sure that was just a god damn fluke.

A vampire who is interested in getting a contact high from feeding on an intoxicated person is called a "lush." They tend to be looked down upon for clinging too closely to their former human urges.

Okay what's wrong with V5?

what? no, not until hollywood at least
then you have to start dumping stats into combat
if anything the fact that the first half of the story rewards you better for going stealth or social and then the second part of the game makes social and stealth absolutely pointless is the problem

>pretends
I unironically love it as a product of its time and as a slice of early-00s subculture slut nostalgia bait. I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone though. It's thoroughly fucking old and busted, especially by today's standards.

Why do they hate fun?

the game was all about choosing what's true until demons came into the picture and basically said: "cain's canon is correct". It would not have been a problem if not for the fact after they had Gaia turns out to be an angel, them remembering something like werewolves helping hunt them down(think Prometheus beta xeno before we got what we love but for skinwalker), mages magic coming from the corpse of angels that got killed in the war when cain showed angels how to kill inside them that wants them to ascend so they can be revive but zero summing the mage, finding out the shadowlands were made by angels to hold human souls cause they got scared about what happened to humans in death, making the Shadows aka a part of your soul so you can talk to yourself and move on and finally the best part

THEY personally created earth, where there when god made everything and Knew god personally

HELL one of the canon wod ending is cain talking to lucifer about shit before leaving, having cains and lilith child merge with gaia a big fucking angel and other shit.

Fun is for mortals. Kindred are supposed to spend their time plotting their next move in a centuries long blood feud that started over nothing.

Lots of things. The Second Inquisition is pretty shitty, as is basically removing the Sabbat. The predator system seems to be very intent on pidgeon holing your vampire's feeding method and paradox seems to be trying to nickle and dime players by pulling shit like adding single bloodlines to background books, which is just annoying for a lot of reasons. Its bad because twitter backlashes have gotten so bad and paradox so spineless that even mentioning gays being killed in Chechnya is enough to put white wolf (the actual develops) on such a tight leash they cant jack off without publisher approval.
But above it all, V5 is bad because of Rudi. Because of what he is, because of what he represents and because none of the writers saw what was wrong with him.
Fuck Rudi.

>slice of early-00s subculture slut nostalgia bait.
I hated this time frame and that reflect my feelings of the game overall, game has nothing to offer beyond this.

i wish we will get more connections from our human past like that one mission in Hollywood

>V5 is bad because of Rudi
That's like saying oWoD was bad because of Samuel Haight

>argh, im pretty messed up
>im gonna need you to get me some pills cis
what like pain pills?
>no dumbcis, estrogen, the transgender brujah bitches took my stash when they raided the apartment. i can deal with these injuries, but i need you to go get those pills now!

FUCK that shit if you didn't know what to do with her

Can kindred access true faith?
What about werewolves?

Haight was tongue in cheek. Phil Brucato said he was an office joke, something to laugh at. Rudi was written 100% seriously and is just the most overt example, though some of the shit in the prequel adventure game thing they made certainly comes close.

>Can kindred access true faith?
God literally cursed Cain.

would estrogen suplements even do anything if you're a vampire?
actually that poses an interesting question - how are the writers going to handle the whole trans thing everyone is guessing is going to be in the game
if you're pre-op mtf that is yet to go on hormone therapy will they just have some guy run around claiming he is a woman? do vampires get gender dysphoria? fuck, do vampires have a functional endocrine system?

nigga i told her to fuck off, what i want is to get 2 or 3 missions like that.

Just got this game and spent 3 hours into it so far. Decided to make a smug Ventrue faggot, be an asshole to literally everyone but those that I deem useful, and exclusively suck police blood. Then I went to some gangbanger's crib and killed everyone while I fooled their brains into a think loop in whether traps are gay or not. Also, loads and loads of big titty goth chicks

10/10 game right there

>Brujah

N

God hates fags and vampires, so no.

I

Kindred can have True Faith. I don't remember about the Garou, but I think they can. It's a very powerful trait, but it's offset by how rare and expensive it is.

The "it's for horny teenagers" line always struck me as odd. I'm 33 and I'm hornier than when I was 15.

Garou basically worship a deity don't they?
Can't think of any lore reason for kindred having true faith but don't they need a super high humanity to Access it?

can this still be considered a cult classic after the sequel got announced? or is it normie already?

Yes, its a cult classic because the game gain popularity years after its release.

>sequel
*cashgrab

>threatening people on a video game image board
Some revolution you seem to have there.

God, you're a faggot.

>want to play it
>scared of the beachhouse i always hear about

I played a chick with a mod so I didn't look like Meg.

brujah girl is a qt tbqh

The beach house is just your introduction to fighting multiple opponents.

there arent any enemies in it at all though

She has the best body for sure.

There's some game on steam that lets you play as anarchists or cops, I can't recall the name but it's there somewhere.

Oh, you meant the Ocean House Hotel. I thought you meant the beach house where you get back at the dealers that hurt Mercurio.

You retards are mixing up the Ocean House hotel and the house on the beach

What is there to be afraid of? The PC is already dead.

Ocean's hotel, not beach house. The house on the beach is the second main quest in the game. The spooky hotel comes later

I don't appreciate being called a retard, user. He said "beach house" and that made me think "Surf's Up".

>ocean hotel is one of the scariest levels in video-games
>literally my first play-though at midnight going through that level
>the only scary part was when the washing-machine suddenly open making that creaking sound
You gamers are a bunch of pansies

Do you go slightly faster if you alternate strafe keys while walking or am I going nuts?

>denouncing a 15 year-old heap of pure, unadulterated aughties jank as normalfag-tier just because it's getting a suck-ass sequel
VtM:B is always going to be a niche title, and over three quarters of the people gatekeeping it are going to be great big fibbers who never actually played it.

fishMalk

I can't replay the game anymore bros, I remember it too well after my 4 or 5 playthroughs, fug. Yesterday I was trying to start up a new game with a Nosferatu, but I stopped right after Santa Monica because I literally know every dialog, every item placement and every quest.

Attached: 1550635763561.jpg (790x767, 80K)

Game is probably good first/second time around, then it gets stale. The dialogue is probably the best thing about it.

>play as malk
>gets that quest from therese
>"How do I combat the ethereal?"
>Therese says, "They're harmless, they're not real."
As a man who has anime "ara-ara" mommy fetish, that made me fucking hard despite the tone in which she said it.

>VTMB was never polit-

you're typing way too fucking fast and you need to spell check your shit. This post is genuinely illiterate.

said nobody ever

stop strawmanning, tranny, you're fundamentally missing the issue

>a joke is politics
Fuck off, tranny. Meanwhile the sequel has Mitsoda going all "we'll be punching up, not down" in a game where you play a lurking blood-drinking monster. If you see no problems with this approach to writing a vampire setting, you're retarded.

I'm not sure what your complaint even is. The whole point of angels as a concept is that they are God's helpers and helped him create the universe at the dawn of time, among other jobs. Combine that with the fact that it's a splat book's job to puff up its subject matter and you get a bunch of claims about how these guys came first and did a bunch of stuff before anyone else was even around.

I've read all the Demon: the Fallen splat books and there is nothing in them that couldn't be easily handwaved away as bullshit from boastful demons. If they ever show up in a vidya like this one it'll just be an Earthbound who serves as a creepy side quest villain with no in-depth lore explanation, so there's nothing to worry about in any case.

Why does every /pol/ack instantly resort to calling people trannies these days? Seriously lowered the bar for even bait discussion, if that was even possible. Now it's just tranny this, tranny that.

i was thinking moreso with ghouls in the above post. though a new kindred who wanted to change sexes and now cant because hes been embraced might be fun if the guy was mutilating himself and replacing it with female skin or joining the sabbat so the tzimisce fleshcrafters would do it but with a terrible price.

now that im thinking about it i want a tzimisce doctor who is hiding behind the guise of sex change/plastic surgery and is secretly creating an army of genderbent centipede monsters with acid belching "baginas"

1. Its reddits favorite video game
2. Its basically buffy the vampire slayer which is totes epic
3. its cheap as h3ck on steam

IDGAF what they do with the game in regards to politics as long as it isn't in your face everywhere.

>lowered the bar for even bait discussion
Oh yeah, NOW, as soon as you got called a tranny, it got bad. Sure.

>one current event trivial means its political

They can't help themselves, user. The first one had jokes and slight jabs, the sequel won't be so restrained with it according to devs' interviews.
Take a look at Vampyr to see our possible VtMB future.

I keep forgetting, but did the devs say they were producing Bloodlines 2 at the same time as the 5th Edition Rulebook? All I remember from watching the livestream post-LARP is people were complaining about SJWs invading VtM:B and pointing out the pronoun shit.

We'll just have to see when the game releases. I won't be too bothered if the game has other features that redeem it.

What mods do you guys suggest for a second play through? All I've installed so far is clan quest.

Was the entire game like that? I had planned on getting around to playing it someday.

I don't know how to feel about a new game coming out. I'm scared that it will be affected by our political Bullshit instead of it being a real sequel to a loved game. If it turns out to be just stupid stuff then i may just have to not pick up the next WOD games.

The game is generally just bland, but there are some outliers like suffragettes, a brave interracial couple etc that exist only to ask you "got a problem, bigot?", with your options being variations of "not at all, I support your struggle". It's grating, but possible to ignore I suppose, which would be a fine outcome for VtMB2.

The MC is literally going to be a shovel head. You're a child soldier among legendary monsters. You don't hold a candle to other vampires. There's nowhere to punch down from, because your connections and uses are at near zero from a slightly strong human.

/Pol/ always was filled with buzzword spamming retards.

I hope you just fuck off forever.

Personally I have made peace with whatever political stance games will be today, this goes to the sequel too. As long as it is RPG, multiple playable clans where choices actually matter, I'm good.

Did someone hurt you?

have sex

>Guard in the hospital in Santa Monica only carries the Controlled Substances key if he opens fire on you
>Otherwise he only drops his gun
Epic, simply epic

Have sex

If you're using the UP this is probably a more recent bug because he used to drop it just fine.

I'm just using a GOG torrent right out of the box

Have sex

Yeah, anons were saying that it uses an older version of the Unofficial Patch. Although mine is 10 years old so go figure. Either way it's not the only way inside.

GOG version is already patched.

Just ended up making him kill himself then hiding from the cops in the sewer
Not really enjoying the game anyways so whatever

If vampires can get drunk by feeding off humans that are drunk then I'm sure vampires can become trannies by feeding off them.
Then when you're far enough along in your transition you see the local tzimisce to reshape your flesh.

>I'm sure vampires can become trannies by feeding off them
What?

dialogue isn’t as good when you don’t get the context

Brother kanker destroyed me on my first playthrough

I hope there are no companions, you’re supposed to be in it for yourself

kanker is a casual filter

bishop vick is where it's at

>notarget 1
Fuck the Elizabeth Dane

He's implying that a vampire could drink estrogen right out of a trannies veins. It wont work because your body doesnt really change as a vamp unless you get your flesh shaped.

what clan?

I fucking love this game, only there you can play as fancy vampire chick while swingig katana like a fucking weeb and slay some ugly mosters that scares the shit out of you

anything with obfuscate, you can basically break the whole game by dumping into melee and obfuscate.

Tremere

>you can basically break the whole game by dumping into melee and obfuscate
That's a good way, but I prefer my way of breaking the game by putting all of my points into maxing Combat Defense. Makes me tanky as fuck.
