Ladies(male) and gentlemen, this game is jank as hell, but has some of the best worldbuilding and character writing I’ve ever seen in a game. This is Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Zig Forums plays Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

I'd rather play a game that doesn't have my daddy Alec being turned into a nosferatu and isn't full of SJW crap.
I have a feeling there's a specific clan we should join; with that in mind, should we skip directly to the creator?
this is the original, not the sequel. Also, grow up.
The original is tainted by the sequel, deal with it.
Might as well do questions
Thread theme. Now dance. Dance I say!
Alright, questions it is. Are we a boy or a girl?
>deal with it
this coming from the guy who can't deal with "SJW crap"
Female, of course. What are we, gay?
Boy. Too many people play girls.
Including me. I do that.
ye
Time for the questionnaire.
Why am I not surprised a VTMB thread got filled with trannies wishing to put themselves in the role of a woman.
Can't you guys die?
1, of course.
1. Don't take no shit.
1 it is
I prefer the idea of a handsome and seductive male vampire.
2. Those developers should really do things properly.
let's email the devs.
First of the Monkey King. But we really only watch the joke dub, of course.
2 seems like the most kino.
>nigger
yeah he based
stream that film, if you're so great
>The original is tainted by a game that is not even made by the same people save Mitsoda and Schafer
Brainlet take.
>but has some of the best worldbuilding and character writing I’ve ever seen in a game.
No faggot, you have no idea. Vampire the Masquerade IS the pinnacle of Vampire worldbuilding and fiction and I don't think anything can supersede it, and nothing has since not even Underworld. When White Wolf created VTM, they made the end-all-and-be-all. The correlation to the bible and Caine to make them both divine/supernatural but human, making the species a curse that beckon and call to ancestral antediluvians plotting a Jyhad where nobody knows they are puppeteers to an ancient game, and a secret society living within the modern world. I mean fuck, how can you beat this shit?
Vampire: The Requiem is better, though that's due to having less world building to be honest. The meta plot was getting out of hand.
kung flu movie it is.
Now...he's following you about 30 feet back. He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint. HE'S GAINING ON YOU
>underworld
YOU fucking WOT.
be a chechen dictator, i guess

1 it is.
1 but instead you mash wakeup DP every time.
alright, anyone object to my just clicking through to get to the proper character builder?
i was just going to pick melee options since i figured that was how things were going to turn out
if we're just going to pick a build, i guess i'll vote for toreador gunslinger
