When i first heard about Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines i was pretty excited. Ive always loved RPG's , so playing as a vampire sounded very exciting. Well lets start of with the creation of your character, one of the disappointing things is how limited your character looks, there is no options to customize your chars face or features. Mainly there appearence changes through diffrent selections of clans. Then we move onto the RPG elements of your chars stats. This is the better part, where you can improve your skills (such as charisma, strength, manipulation etc). Then we move into the actual game, where its dark danky but with a familar feel to it. When doing the missions on VTMB, they feel pretty in-depth and feel good, which for a RPG is a important factor. Some of the miss's range from killing other vampires or going to haunted houses(which are pretty scary at times). On the combat side of things i can't say its perfect, it does offer some decent amount of moves, weapons and powers to use on enemys. But the way your char hits(or miss's) can be annoying . Killing ppl using stealth is a sweet touch to, but i always found that you needed a pretty high Sneak feat , to actually get up behind someone without them hearing you. Feeding on ppl is your lifeline and it can heal you quicker, but obviously you have to watch where you sink your teeth into ppl , as doing it in public can be costly to your health(the vampires you work for, have some laws you must abide by). Your special vampiric powers are really cool, some make you invisible, where as others mess and control others minds, or you might control there blood and manipulate it into certain specialitys. If your looking for a pretty decent solid RPG , and you don't want to pay through the nose, then i reccomend VTMB. It has enough to keep you busy for a good while, and some decent missions to keep you interested.
