Vampire The Masquarade Bloodlines

I have noticed when people make threads about RPG recomendations or top ten RPGs, this game usually comes up. I have to ask, what makes it so special? I took a brief look at it a while ago, but didn't see what all the fuss is about. Also, I am aware they have community patches, but do they also have texture/graphics overhauls for the game aswell?

thanks

It's an all-around interesting game with great voice acting and a good story. The combat is action-oriented but also skill-based, and you can choose how you'd like to play through the game. It's similar to Deus Ex in that regard, with a more open world to play around in. Plus it has a lot of conversation options and manipulation of said conversation through skills. If there are any graphical overhauls, I'm not aware of it.. the game actually doesn't look too bad... I'm not bothered by it.

yeah, graphics aren't too big of a deal since I'm playing Deus Ex without anything, however Deus Ex graphics are my limit.gamerguy845

One other reason people like blodlines is because it offers some of the most memorable characters and levels of any game. Who can forget the haunted house level, or the twins, or the vampire hunter house, or the prosthetic maker? I can't remember a single character in oblivion or KOTOR (although I love both games) hardly but I remember almost all of Bloodlines.

yes all combat is based on dice role mechanics. Its a true board game rpg adaptation. There are mods that change this mechanic to more of a point and shoot mechanic but I have never used any of them. Personally I always use mele weapons and blood skills when I can.adrake4183

2 ) you get skill points if you complete a quest, so the best way to make your character strong is to complete as many quests as possible...BOOOOOdakan45

Um..how exactly is this a "problem?"

Don't tell me you'd prefer grinding.

welll it trully does make you feel like a vampire but it has 3 big problems 1) too damn buggy 2 ) you get skill points if you complete a quest, so the best way to make your character strong is to complete as many quests as possible...BOOOOO 3) i created firearm specialazation character and after dozen of upgrades, weapons are way to weak, 5 shotgun shots to a cop's head from close range.... ohh and very innnacurate you have to stay still to aim, plus some have reddiculus recoil. so as you understand i started playing as a meele charater and still the enmies survived my blows... not that much vampire.dakan45

1. Not after the community patches

2. Lol, how else do you prefer to make your character strong .. by mindless grinding ?

3. Never found the game too difficult unless when I created a non combat character or the last levels which is the only major flaw of the game i.e.the last few levels of the game degenerate into constant action and all

DAKAN is a fool, don't bother even arguing with him. Bloodlines is a great RPG, end of discussion. It has not been buggy for years, lol. Completing quests is a much betetr way to get XP then many RPG's use.
