@ChrisAvellone@TKsMantis Hey, didn't expect to hear Matt Wagner or Grendel mentioned. And you remembered the NO storyline name to boot. Impressive. Grendel(s) would be very cool in a video game. Eppy Thatcher or Prime, pretty crazy stuff.
@DanielVavra The R key save is one of the most exciting minigames in CD. That's where you go to load your game after saving in an iffy spot/skill choice/Abyss combo and habitually hold R down to save...heart rate up!
@VtM_Bloodlines The physicality in this game is so good. If you ever wondered what Lestat might have felt like, or wanted to be a terrifying creature of the night, this game has that in spades. Mixed Banu Haqim, Lasombra, Ventrue disciplines. Also, the visuals!
The signs in #Bloodlines2 are great stuff. And, another BL1 easter egg! Really enjoying the winter ambience setting it all off. The surprise high point, though, is the detective mystery with the dryly funny Malkavian cop. Really solid VA and writing.
@Cromwelp That's an interesting and I think not inaccurate take. If your Vampire Jedi also enjoyed a refreshing bit of murder. Constant, constant murder. Is there no way to leave these poor Anarchs alive?
@xJoSyax@ChineseRoom Hrm. Different level powers seem to use different points. In BL1, higher powers often take more blood - eg Dom and Thaum. Can't use if low. You can also use "potions" to replenish your blood - like BL1. Lastly, you get base Celerity, Potence, Auspex and TK for free. Maybe Fort?
Bloodlines 2 - so far, lots of fun and thematic as hell. Just finishing up my umpteenth play of BL1 and they are different, but both good. And both Vampire: Masquerade. @ChineseRoom#Bloodlines2
@ChineseRoom "It's locked up tighter than a constipated rattlesnake." What a way to describe a secured exit. Also, hand to hand fighting goons while zipping around vertical areas? Very @CyberpunkGame . Gorilla Arms and Double Jump for the glory.
There is a very strong story element linking Bloodlines 1 to Bloodlines 2 and you see it quite near the start. Other than the whole drink blood, fight ghouls, murderous social politics stuff. Also, snow is pretty and sucks. That's not the story element though.
So, RP wise, #bloodlines2 is not as stat-based as many would like. I get that, but it's worth noting that a lot of RP is not stat based, but player preference. In this case, I went with what my Nomad would say and it didn't work out. He refused. No easy feed for me. Consequences!
@ChineseRoom I'm only ~4 hours in, mostly just wandering around enjoying the ambience and feeding on people. Fighting as a Lasombra on V Hard is not easy and that's great. Do it right, you feel super powerful, do it wrong, you eat dirt. I would like a Save/Quick save option! Also, truth:
@ChineseRoom I don't know about customized characters, but this sign made me grin. So deliciously cynical. Well done, whoever came up with it. "Report Your Competition." Heh heh heh.
