You can call out his manipulation if you have an inspection feat of >=3

Why did the three Sabbath shit their pants when Nines showed his grenade? Are grenades really that scary to vampires?

>>388519616
>>388520857
I wonder if his friendly personality is bullshit too.

Can someone post that graph that compares the power level of vampire and other supernatural beings?

>>388520879
He manages to kill a werewolf with one, so I'm pretty sure he can insta kill them. Vampire are extremely flammable, and if one shrapnel finds it's way to the heart, they'd be paralyzed.

>>388520857
Is this the only time Inspection is useful at all? Is it even worse than Seduction after Santa Monica?

>>388520879
A grenade is probably as dangerous to a vampire as any modern weaponry gets

>>388519310
There are boards for this, you know?

>>388519310

>>388522880
For a dialogue check yeah, that's the only time it is used at all.

I've seen however that many let's players and presumably many first-time players can miss some occult artifacts if they aren't highlighted by the inspection blue dots above them. Some artifacts like the Mummified fetish in the Tzimisce house and the Saulocept in the Giovanni mansion are very powerful and very easy to miss if you don't explore every corner. High inspection could reveal them for the player that would ordinarily miss them.

It's definitely NOT a good investment in terms of XP spent and benefits gotten overall. So just exploring every part of a level will render inspection meaningless.

I am both thirsty as fuck for a new VtM game to be made, a proper game and not that mobile/tablet bullshit, and despairing of such a thing to come, because they could fuck it up in so many ways.

They should just open up a secret studio somewhere in the sewers and make the game without letting anyone know so no one can't complain and then quietly release it under the radar for vmtb fans

>>388525943
Unless the new VTM game was headed by the original devs working at Obsidian or studios like CDPR that will have worked on table-top adaptations after CP77, I would urge everyone to stay the fuck away from sequels. I'd rather VTMB's threads don't get shit up in the future by people who played a hypothetical crappy sequel.

>>388525803

Which makes it all the stranger new WoD game is a werewolf one. You'd think vampires would be print money seeing as it's the most recognized game line.

VtM is rooted in the 90s and goth culture, though. It simply wouldn't work if adapted to current climate.

IMO, that's what the makers of Project Vaulderie should have done. Don't fucking announce your fan-based remakes of games until it's done and out, released with proxy and under fake names, otherwise you'll just get C&D'd.

>>388526330

How many of the devs from VtM:B are at Obsidian? I know Cain and Boyarsky, but anyone else?

Also, it'd be really fucking hard to get the same kind of quality soundtrack. Even Rik Schaffer said he wasn't sure he could match himself from those days.

>>388526449

Obsidian did say they were working on something new and secret quite a while back, and it had nothing to do with PoE 2 or Tyranny or whatever else they got cooking. Someone here also recently commented that Boyarsky and Cain weren't part of the teams that were developing PoE 2, so yknow, there's some hope.

>>388526614
what happened to the goths anyway?

>>388526692
>How many of the devs from VtM:B are at Obsidian? I know Cain and Boyarsky, but anyone else?

They're missing the design guy of the Troika trinity - Jason Anderson. He did work on Wasteland 2, but is with the studio that developed Evolve.

>>388526903

Yeah, but like he says in the interview, he was a different person back then, more a character from the game, than someone real. And replicating that shit would impossible, not to mention potentially fucked up for the guy himself.

Yeah, no real information about it yet though. And there's that Vampyr game but no actual gameplay from that either, just some dialogue teasers but the dialogue system doesn't look as good. Instead of just showing you possible responses and letting you figure out how they'll come across it'll say [INTIMIDATE] or something, I don't really like that. Breaks immersion for me.

What was wrong with their text game? Is it just because of the image that gets posted here a lot about that liberal killing Trump supporters? I see a lot of people thinking that it's supposed to be supportive of that kind of thinking but they're misinterpreting it, it's criticizing the insane liberals and giving it their WoD twist.

>>388530515
>And there's that Vampyr game but no actual gameplay from that either
I was wrong, there's a bit of gameplay shown and it looks okay but it still doesn't feel right for some reason, like it's just going to feel like a VtMB ripoff set in the early 1900s. Don't want to judge it too much yet though, could still be good.

Vampyr looks like it's going to be utter shit. They just keep showing the same 'gameplay' over and over and over. Given that these are the devs behind Life is Strange and Remember Me, I have no hope for it.

i´ve played trhough both the game game and the vampire game and i can say that they are not good at all and the writers have completely misunderstood the WoD universe, they mix up too much of mundane human politics or small stuff, things vampire or mage society would not even care about and the games really do the original material no justice at all, a huge disappointment and travesty really.

You're now in charge of developing Bloodlines 2

Where does it take place? (Santa Monica gave Bloodlines 1 a really unique vibe. Do you stick with that or explore some other setting)

What's the time period? (Bloodlines 1 had that 90's angst going for, any other time period could just feel wrong)

What new clans are you including and what do you add or change about the old ones to make them interesting?

Are you a completely new vampire or a pre-existing one? (Thing about Bloodlines is that it introduces you to the world, do you want the second game to reintroduce you to all the same workings)

How do you balance all the different playstyles while having both ranged and melee not be complete shit?

Do you have talking and sneaking be viable throughout the whole game?

Do you have hub worlds or an open city?

Bloodlines 1 is such lightning in a bottle. I'm really not sure where they could take the series after it without feeling outdated or more of the same.

>>388531794

Not particularly. Especially since they're print on demand and would cost quite a penny. Maybe look that up on ebay? Depending on where you're from, you might be able to find some of the stuff for quite a low price and in good condition.

does anyone have any music that is similair to the music in bloodlines?
i am desperate for more of the stuff!

Massive Attack.

It's what Rik Schaffer was basically making, he even says it himself.

ah thanks dude! just what i was looking for, meant the soundtrack in general and not actual licensed songs. this is perfect!
Do you know of any similair stuff?

>>388531138
That's too bad. I think VtMB being set in modern times was something that made it good, because it was modern and familiar but still completely alien and uncomfortable at the same time. I'm not sure if putting it into an older setting will work as well, especially since the music is part of what made VtMB great. And it's not like VtMB had the best melee combat but it was still fun when combined with disciplines.

Almost reminds me of that "Dark" game, that was a stealth game with vampires. It was technically complex I guess but the abilities weren't very fun to use and it didn't do anything particularly well.

>>388531542
Might've been trying to pander to their audience if that's the case. I can see why it wouldn't be good, but seeing the drama over people misinterpreting the screenshots from it makes me kind of want to read it because it seems like it could still be rational with that dark twist. Maybe I'll pick it up if it ever goes on sale.

>>388532447
something that gives off the santa monica theme vibe or like the unused song open season

>>388532587
you´ll be dissapointed with it, but pick the game up on sale if you want, but i you loved bloodlines or any of the original source material you´re in for quite a different experiences, just saying.

>>388532035
I'd mainly want to see how vampires deal with technology if there's a Bloodlines 2. A movie called Daybreakers dealt with this a bit, it wasn't a fantastic movie but it was okay. With lab-grown meat becoming a thing I'd like to see how vampires would deal with lab-grown blood, or even the meat too for someone like Pisha.

There's a lot of cyberpunk stuff but not much cybergoth I think. A Vampire cybergoth game might be good.
