Some people were remaking Bloodlines in Skyrim but pivoted it to a "reimagining" after presumably getting brake checked by Paradox. Now it's a prequel/sequel/something else. I'd be surprised if it ever comes out.

Fan projects like these are destined to never come out. Whether it lingers in development hell until the dev log updates suddenly stop, gets coopted by trannies that piss away all the interest, or gets nuked from orbit by lawyers.

I don't mind a "something else" - I do like Requiem well-enough, but playing as donutsteal ackshually good guy vampires that are all about enlightenment and helping mortals was always fucking gay. Simping for a nun for centuries was also very cringe.

The writers of Bloodlines actually understood the appeal of VtM, and made sure that Jack (as their mouthpiece) explained very plainly what you are.

It's WoD plus skyrim modding so you'd be hopelessly naive to think it's not already infested with trannies.

At that point, why would you even work within the confines of the 5th edition, and why wouldn't you fork the 20th Anniversary edition and tweak it to your liking?

They're going to go bankrupt and the project will die before they finish it. Again, I don't know why people are being optimistic, this IP is sour Earth. Somehow white wolf and all of its subsidiaries and those connected to it. Have some form of tlpa demon that just straight up destroys the companies and the products they make.

It's actually quite fascinating.

Pretty much this. Everything surrounding Whitewolf has been cursed for the past decade, failed projects all over the place. As a business I wouldn't want to touch their IP with a 10' pole, but I suspect the reasoning that Nacon did is that the license is cheap. Just the other day Nacon shut down another studio that made VtM: Swansong and that doesn't sell unless it's 90% off and even then never had a playercount above 150.

I'd wish for a Larian or Owlcat V:tM cRPG but the monkeys paw might curl and sink the studio with it.

Yeah, imagine having actual sex scenes with vampire bitches.
I prefer my pole-dance and fade-to-black sex with schizo bipolar whores, thank you very much.

what, you can't mod skyrim to actually see real fucking instead of some gayish humping that barely show tits?
larian "sex scenes" are the safest of the softcores, however i think that would bump the rating to AO instead of M/+18, because M/+18 don't need a very special place for themselves like AO does.

Fair enough.

As long as they're optional and the rest of the game is good I'm not really bothered.

Not that it'll happen. I think Vampire has been relegated to visual novels from here on.

That said, I also prefer a fade to black. I blame Mass Effect for the things I've heard about certain scenes in Baldur's Gate 3, though those scenes are comparatively tame, they're the first ones I can recall.

Honestly? For singleplayer computer games I think Vampire's best bet is visual novels. It's certainly the genre that fits the intended tone of the tabletop game, and the lack of combat mechanics is not a big deal in a genre of videogame where "fights" are decided by narrative fiat anyway.

These VNs are cheaper than dirt to make is just a bonus to these people.
