I thought that Vampires didn't really get much out of sex and would be more akin to a corpse if they didn't spend blood on Blush of Life. Now even ol' gram-gramula wants someone to knock the dust off her cooter.

This shit is written by porn brained millenials and zoomers who don't understand what sex is because them and any potential partner is on SSRIs which has killed their libido, or been completely been warped by degeneracy online
 
I just did the forced stealth mission where you have to infiltrate SPD, what a load of horseshit. :story:
It's not bad enough that a fucking faggy ass Nosferatu makes an Elder, that in most cases isn't proficient in Obfuscation, do this shit. He's more of a bitch than Lou. The cherry on top has to be the absolute cop out at the end, though. Instead of having to sneak your way out, Fabien says you can just stroll out of the Chief's office and just assume no one stops you. This could've actually been a decent mission if they let you bullshit your way through dialogue instead.
 
On the thin blood topic wasn't thr original plan when still under Hardsuit production to make the PC a thin blood and you got to diablerize your way to the top?

That's what I heard. Rather than choosing your clan at the beginning, you start as a Thin Blood who diablerizes a vampire of that given clan (Potentially as part of a Blood Hunt, which is literally the only time diablery can be potentially permitted without getting your ass turned into ash; which then opens the door to how the fuck a Thin Blood was able to get the drop on a vampire, but that's another topic).
And technically, given the generational difference, the soul of the vampire you diablerized would be inhabiting your body, and you'd be able to hear it (Conveniently just like with Johnny Silvervamp in the TCR version). Which makes me think they repurposed as much as they could of the original script, and the "This is a new story entirely" is nothing but a pile of bullshit, just like the rest of the game.

I wonder how that would work out considering diablerize an old vampire is an easy way for you to lose your mind and have you taken over by the vampire.

The sabbat patch in the first game lets you diablerize some of the main cast but you lose humanity and can get a game over if its too low.

I just started a fresh Human Revolution playthrough and god damn is the difference night and day. You can either sneak into the station one of several ways to try and get the hacker's neural hub (roof, window, sewers), or you can just bullshit your way through by talking to your PTSD-riddled former squadmate at the front desk who is unable to forgive himself for putting down a 15 year old augmented gangbanger.

I'm not saying it's not possible, but it'd pretty much require:
- Target vampire to be pretty fucked up (Low health/low blood) in order to give the thin blood a fighting chance
- The thin blood somehow getting ahead of the other hunters (Who most likely outclass him by a fairly wide margin) and finding it first, or literally running into it by chance
- The thin blood knowing that diablerie is even a thing and being able to perform it
- The other vampire's soul not being able to override the thin blood's upon diablerie, which would be a possibility given the generational difference
- The local Prince being so open-minded about Thin Bloods that he lets him take part in the Blood Hunt to begin with (Because even if he got insanely lucky, run into a wounded vampire and diablerized him out of his own volition, he'd be ashed on the spot the second someone with enough dots in Auspex gets a good roll and identifies him as a diablerist; or be blackmailed with that secret for the rest of his unlife)

Overall, it's a scenario that could potentially happen, but it'd take a decent chunk of luck on the thin blood's end no matter the way.

Between the lack of options in-game for FOV slider and motion blur, the generally shitty UE5 optimization we've all come to know and love, being able to only have 1 active save file at a time, no manual save instead the game saving only during quest checkpoints despite there being an explorable hub with collectibles to gather, also tack on the terrible combat and stealth and I can firmly say that even if the writing was based and chud-pilled that this would still be a complete dumpsterfire of a game. This is Duke Nukem Forever all over again...

Wait, no FOV slider? It really is a console game, holy shit.
 
Thin bloods are in deep shit as usual by the start of VM2. The sheriff is conducting full genocide run on them for some reason ( probably in the dlc I'll spoil on YouTube)
 
Saw a scene of some Nosferatu talking back at the Prince(?) Basically questioning her decision. Like bro if a nosferatu pulled that shit in actual WoD unless they are crazy strong they would be bitch slapped into submission. This game feels like the culmination of Reddit humor. Unlike bloodline 1 where they made fun of things of the time, here it serves more to "educate" you. Shame because it would have been funny seeing a Bloodlines 2 where they parody shit from more modern times.

They're thin-bloods. 95% of the time, their existence is a violation of the Traditions (illegal siring of progeny without the Prince's permission). The other 5%, they are too weak to be of any use to the Camarilla or Sabbat, so it's population control.

Wasn't the original plot that it was the Sabbat mass creating thin bloods in one big attack, and the guy who eventually became Fabian intentionally got diablerized for to-be-revealed reasons?
 
Well. This has been an interesting play through. On one hand the game runs...really well. Its the first ue5 gane i can remember where I didnt run into any bugs, and I get over 100 fps without needing to turn on dlss. If there is one genuine compliment Ill give this game, its that it runs very well.

I find this to be cruel, as the only ue5 game that doesnt run like shit is one of the games Ive least enjoyed playing in a long time. The dialogue is the worst millenial, west coast drek. The characters are comically one dimensional. The combat is mid (at best) on its own, and complete shit when compared to the options we had in the original Bloodlines game. And...theres the troon shit and the fag shit.... And all I can say is, dont buy this. I didnt, and I still wish I had spent my time playing another run of CK2 with the World of Darkness mod. 3/10. AAA is still dead.
 
Everyone's reactions are a loud and proud:

It doesn't even make sense, Gehenna is the end of times.

The apocalypse

The Armageddon

The final death of all

Believing it or not, even the Sabbath would think that quote is retarded.

And if she is being metaphorical, she is just a moron that deserves Final Death (but I'm sure knowing our luck she is unkillable or dies in a scripted sequence)

Are you surprised? Mfs legit spelled out to not expect this game to come close to the original.

Question about a part in the first game but can you talk your way out of fighting the gangrel serial killer in the junkyard or are the speech options just fluff?

"His canonical fate is unknown, but the player may either choose to fight and kill him, or convince him to give up his crusade."

I thought I had convinced him to give up in one play through but I decided to look it up just to be sure.
