Facial animations are still better than most modern games, sets a better atmosphere with great music, dialogue system beats the modern wheel systems used. The gameplay is still varied and good enough to be fun, people complain about melee combat but I think it's fine as long as you use the disciplines and work on keeping your blood pool up.

>>389239878
Try doing a Gangrel with Proten and Fortitude. You basically become invincible and rip and tear with claws. Tremere is also pretty strong because they can spam blood strike on bosses, and use purge/blood shield to take on groups of enemies.

>>389239663
Games don't age, and Bloodlines isn't even that old

Game is as clunky now as it was at release. Actually now it's better because of all the years of modding and fan patches that can fix some of it's problems. It's considered engaging for it's setting, characters and RPG elements, the gameplay itself (fighting i mean) isn't elegant at all but can be fun if you play around with your powers and know what to expect

I don't think that's true.
As we refine games, things we overlooked or accepted at the time become more pronounced.
Yes, technically speaking the game hasn't changed, just our perception of them, but the same can be said of films and music, other things that are said to be able to "age poorly."
>>
Is a Tremere using thaumaturgy near-exclusively in combat viable?
>>
>>389250249
You won't want to, their best AOE option (Blood Purge) stuns, and rather than pelt the then stunned enemies with blood strike (resulting in a net loss of blood for no good reason) just whack/shoot the motionless enemies.

But yeah, a Tremere will likely have blood shield up 24/7 and be casually walking up to enemies, casting Blood Purge, and killing them without struggle.
>>
>>389250249
No. Thaumaturgy is meant to turn you into a war-mage, not a pure wizard. You can use the shield and the AoE stuns or the AoE kills, but they cost blood and need to be complemented with combat. There just isn't enough blood, even if you constantly buy blood packs.

The most viable of pure caster builds. Thus said, supernaturals tend to shrug off majority of blood magic effects. Blood purge is always viable, however, and it allows a good synergy with either guns or melee.

>RPGs have totally aged

Debatable, at best. Fallout, PS:T, Baldur's Gate are all a lot deeper in roleplaying depth than post 2004 RPGs. You could say their graphics and isometric style and gameplay are dated, which is kind of true for many people. But even the aRPG genre peaked first with Deus Ex (gameplay diversity) and then with VTMB (gameplay and writing diversity). Some attempts at reaching VTMB's depth have taken place, I'd say the closest is New Vegas, and Witcher 2 regarding the great writing. But both of those don't come close in the end.

So no, some RPGs haven't "aged" or at least "aged badly" because the younger ones aren't as deep.
>>
>>389253451
yup that is correct.
>>
>>389252748
but people in clubs are literally idiots
>>
>>389253451
Google the unofficial patch and install that. The patch has two versions, normal and "plus". Regular patch just fixes shit, plus restores content and balances thing differently. Play regular first, then try plus patch.

VTMB was one of the last "great" RPGs, after that, you have shit like KOTOR2 and New Vegas, which are "good" but still feel lacking in places, and after 2010 there's basically nothing unless you settle for Dragon Age Origins or Mass Effect 1

There's not many games out there that allow you to have low intelligence and remake your whole dialogue to reflect that disability, while adding unique NPC reactions to it. Deep as in its roleplaying potential. This is both realised by the writing, an example of which I gave before, and the character creation and the traits, SPECIAL and skills you can customize. Compared to modern games, that's Mariana Trench deep.

How about you start giving us arguments about why you should still be breathing? The world would clearly be a better place to live in with you out of it.

Too bad that there isn't a real and proper LaCroix ending. You know, both of you surviving and him accepting you as his right hand man for real.

That's part of what makes the game awesome. I love the matrix/blade ascetic way more than the glowing science and fantasy particle effects everywhere ascetic.

Blade is at least consistent. This just sort of comes off as comic book artists who have never seen a woman in real life, and all the clothes they draw are weird bizzaro clothes no one has ever worn

Blade movie is the closest thing to VtMB, I love that movie. That "Kindred: the Embraced" show was supposed to be based on Vampire but it was horrible.

>>389258080
LaCroix had been taken over by the Beast. Instead of physically rampaging around like the player does during a frenzy, he just went after the sarcophagus with no concern for anything else except more power. He was never going to survive long.

Yeah the "Hey! Stop right there!" from everyone gets to be a little silly, but it's not a huge deal.
>Animation while good are janky when switching between
Between what?
>Non lethal play is a joke
There are a lot of non-lethal and dialogue options to solve objectives, but the game was never about doing everything in a non-lethal way if that's your problem. If you thought it would be it's your own fault, you're directly told during the tutorial that you need to learn how to use weapons because you'll eventually have to fight.
>Werewolf animations are a joke
I guess, the level with the werewolf is fun and different enough that it doesn't matter to most people.
>Combat is shit
Not really, melee is fun enough when you're using disciplines and working on keeping your blood up by feeding. It's not the best, but it's still fun.
>levels tiny as fuck
I'd rather have smaller levels with multiple ways to solve them than huge and boring ones. It's why I'm glad this isn't a sandbox game either, since every sandbox game has empty space and filler content.
>Skyscrapers in the background look like they were cut out of cardboard
Looks fine to me.

Probably, if someone could post that pic with all the info on it.
>>
>>389260958
>>Every character has the same voice in combat
No they don't. This only happens with similar enemies within the same level (cops, sabbat vampires). Even the different looking hunters in the monastery have different lines and personalities though, as a counterexample.

>>Animation while good are janky when switching between
between what? Some animations are indeed janky, especially when jumping to a higher level or falling to a lower one. The rest is fine though.

>>Non lethal play is a joke
Non lethal play is accommodated wherever it can be. This game has an unreal amount of speech checks for persuasion/intimidation/seduction/dominate/dementation. This is just plain wrong. Whole lethal playthroughs are impossible because this is the world of darkness, you don't just fight other humans that can be reasoned with/manipulated, sometimes you fight monstrosities whose only instinct is to kill. How do you figure on reasoning with them?

>>Werewolf animations are a joke
The clipping is pretty bad, true, but this is a weird thing to fixate on. The Griffith park level itself as a whole and the werewolf experience is great.

>>Combat is shit
Not any worse than other wRPGs, it can even be more fun than them. This is an overblown meme.

>>levels tiny as fuck
Like the natural museum, or the sewers, or the malkavian mansion, or the giovanni mansion? Yes, tiny, lol.

>>Skyscrapers in the background look like they were cut out of cardboard
What the FUCK are you talking about?

>Same with any skybox in the game

you actually can. spamming blood salvo and blood strike is strong and blood shield is a damage shield
>>
>>389258349
World of darkness is weird and faggy but you can't say it's not unique. And I don't think it's any worse than say, the arkham games character designs. I like vtmb a lot though. If the design is off-putting then there's literally nothing you could do.

>>389261753
>spamming blood salvo
is viable only when fighting weak ranged enemies. If you move, you don't get the blood back, and blood salvo costs an arm and a leg. Any melee enemy will knock you out of place, nullifying the blood return. And it doesn't even deal that much damage to make it worth it,

A pure mage character could be managed with Animalism though at least for non-supernatural enemies. Spectral wolf is insta kill and so is the bat attack. Spam the wolf and then the bats to a different enemy, so you get all of the blood back after the bats return and you can use the combo again, taking out 2 enemies per use. It's absurdly powerful.
>>
>>389261539
I don't recommend browsing the threads while you're playing, it ruined some of the experience for me.
Either get the game or GOG or pirate the GOG version, all necessary patches are installed automatically.

Spoilers?

I keep telling people but they don't listen. Granted, vtmb threads are probably the best on /v/, but people throw these spoilers around like it's nothing, sometimes intentionally.
>>
>>389262330
i've always been able to manage combat just fine as a mage. you don't always need to get the blood back. you obviously should be carrying a lot of blood packs with you
>>
>>389262530
Not just story spoilers, I just think it's more fun the less you know about it period.
>>
>>389262538
>you obviously should be carrying a lot of blood packs with you
Yeah if you do most of the side quests you should have more than enough money to stay stocked with blood packs if you aren't buying melee weapons or ammo.
>>
>>389260203
Blade and Blade II came out at the perfect time. Some wod books come with movie recommendations to try and catch the vibe of the setting.
>>
>>389262594
Yeah, I agree 100%. I finished the game long before I ever came to /v/ and saw the threads, but going through it completely blind is the best thing. Spread the word so others can stay away from the threads while playing.
>>
>>389262712
Blade had a bit of not great CGI but it was a lot worse in Blade II, still thought they were both decent though. I couldn't really watch the third one.

>Some wod books come with movie recommendations to try and catch the vibe of the setting.
That's cool, I'll have to find that. I know that they also did the same with music, there's a compilation of songs to fit each of the clans from the Redemption I think.

This just makes me think of Andromeda, and how weird and shameful that a much newer game has worse facial animations than an old game

>>389239878
I feel like i did a big mistake by playing as a Malkavian as my first character, every other clan's dialogue is so fucking boring compared to it.
>>
>>389263197
Not sure if you're joking but I played Malk the first time and mostly enjoyed it. On my second playthrough I played Malk again though, and enjoyed it even more. I got to experience the "hard to understand, not really making sense" side and also the "whoa how did I miss that" side. I stilled played the rest of the clans and enjoyed it just as much though.

Gonna play as Malk again soon. Haven't played one for a long time. I was kind of afraid to.

vtmb has great aesthetics (which is unintentional due to engine limitations), good writing for the medium it's in, good setting overall and the atmosphere captures the late 90s/early oughts romanticism quite well, if it ever existed.

also see movies like lost boys, near dark, interview with the vampire for the cultural fix you need. if you spent those years playing barely functional vtmb (pre-mods) on your athlon and silent hill 2 on your trinitron crt between vampirefreaks hookops you'd know why it aged well. memories often do, and bloodlines is a perfectly conserved fragment of a different time, made by a dead developer. main writer and designer, mitsoda, went on to marry a tumblr incarnate and is but a zombie today. age makes demons of us all...

(but considering most people here are in their early 20s, it's hard to have a discussion about vmtb or the real deus ex).

>>389263421
i loved playing as malk
tried a few times to play as another clan, but i just zoned out during conversations
then played as malk again

Do you have to go through sewers if you play as Nosferatu?
>>
>>389263664
You really have to get the full Malk experience with multiple playthroughs before you can feel satisfied with the other clans.
>>
>>389263761
no, just dont bump into civilians and cops
>>
>>389263761
Yes. The plus version of the Unofficial Patch adds a shortcut I've heard, but I don't use the plus version so I'm not entirely sure how it works.
>>
>>389263965
pretty sure he meant the hub sewers since it says on the nosferatu clan description that they often use the sewers to travel

so not about the sewer level itself
>>
>>389264464
Ah yeah you're probably right. They do use the sewers to travel, it's just like using the taxi though, you go up to the map in the sewer and select your location.

They've got tzimisce blood in them.
