not lookin forward to vtmb 2
Mar. 7th, 2024 03:34 pmvampire the masquerade bloodlines is not a very good game, but man do i like it. I'm just not excited for VTMB2!!! It's been in development hell for years and I really, really, REALLY doubt it's going to be any good.
First of all, I like VTMB because you're playing as a new baby vampire that you can make up VTMB2... you have to play as the default character who is NOT a new baby vampire. Problem 2, the lines are voiced? In VTMB1 you have dialogue options and can choose if your character is an asshole or a suck-up. I'm so nervous that the PC in VTMB2 is... just one or the other.
IDK the setting besides the new game is in Seattle, none of the characters so far look intriguing, there's not the grungy nasty parts of the city like in VTMB1 - like, Hollywood is both grimy-looking but it's a strip, downtown has both nasty bums in areas where there are rich guys walking along nowhere near those areas. Like. IDK. IDK. Not to mention there are only four clans to play? Like, I loooove VTMB1 because I get to play as a Malkavian or a Toreador or a Brujah or a Gangrel etc etc. But now my options are... the fightey one, the magey one, the talky one, the ??????? banu haqim I guess, which I think is also The Magey One. And I get everyone and their mom plays the Malkavian in VTMB1 because they're zany fun and cool... and like, I get that the 2004 version of the Malk would NOT FLY today. But honestly, I don't care. I do care about using inclusive language and not being an asshat if I don't have to be, but I still think the Malkavian can be separated from being "crazy"????? Maybe that's just me.
I'll miss Beckett though :(. If he's in VTMB2 I'll be surprised, but I don't really know anything about the plot of the game besides... the main character is an Elder. I hope there's a hot Tzimisce to obsess over tho :P
