Unfortunately I accidentally got the Easter egg ending so that ruined all the seriousness luckily I can just reload lol
But man what a game, I can see why it has such a cult following the writing and the gameplay were really well done, which was enhanced by the unofficial patch so many thanks to Wesp5 for making this game accessible to so many of us decades later.
The clans, powers, guns, melee weapons, Kookie characters etc for a game of it's time it has so much of what I like in video games reminds me of titles like fallout nv a proper roleplaying game. It's a shame bloodlines 2 probably won't be as good but at this point the modders could do it themselves anyway.
Title is all you need.
I picked Tremere for my first play through, then did Malkavian on a second. The Children of Malkav are my favorite.
Just curious what the community chose for their first game.
Title says it all, this is kinda of a vtmb remake, but in a 2d point and click style, some plot points change a bit, I discovered this game today and I am intrigued
Love the classic VTM Bloodlines* game? Then join us as we bring the nights of Los Angeles to life! After a year-long pause, our server has been restarted and is ready to welcome new Kindred to the thrilling nights of 2004. We’re still polishing a few things, but we’re excited to dive back into the darkness with you!
What You Can Expect:
- 18+ community, with a preference for players aged 26+ (most of our players are between 25 and 45).
- A mature atmosphere: We try to respect players' boundaries regarding shock content but maintaining the gritty realism of the VTM world requires no taboo players. Please note, we expect players to embrace the IC world's darker aspects without requesting adjustments.
- Familiar faces from the lore: Interact with characters like Prince LaCroix, Therese/Janette, Vivi, Gary Golden and many more!
- Player-driven stories: We encourage creativity! While we don’t have constant STs, you can develop and run your own stories with approval, alongside the organic world events.
- Reduced PVP: Our focus is on PVE, with plenty of in-game threats already challenging your characters. Less PVP means a stronger and more cohesive community.
- Fast-paced gameplay: Time in-game matches real-life time! For example, today is December 3, 2003, in our game world.
If this sounds like the game for you, we’d love to have you join us!
There is not a single upcoming game for 2025 that has me more excited than Bloodlines 2.
Not only because it's a sequel that I've been expecting for years, but because World Of Darkness was cancelled and WoD deserves a great successful video game in order for us to get more of them.
I'm excited for Bloodlines 2 because we'll get to play an old vampire with experience, with raw power, who travelled through ages of men and learned almost everything about people, the way they work, the way they think.
For once, we're not gonna play the rookie that anybody can fool without having second thoughts.
We're gonna be able to create our own reputation and decide which way we're gonna solve problems.
Also, it should be fun to play someone like The Originals from The Vampire Diaries : a vampire so old and powerful that even 20,50 vampires wouldn't be a real danger.
I know our powers are gonna be locked and we're not gonna be "godlike", but I truly hope we'll get to this feeling of power when nearing the end of the story.
I want to feel like I'm playing an Elder vampire, more powerful than 90% of the vampires out there.
And I want to feel this power in dialogues and gameplay
I’m trying to find games that can fill the void this game left me. Preferably an RPG. What I really liked about vtmb was the setting, atmosphere, and how fun it was talking to almost every character. What games do you all think come closest to bloodlines in these aspects?
Hard to find information about this, I read one comment that said it was a bug, is there a way to fix it? Or is it intended?
I was already reading VTM RPG books and novels by the time I got Redemption first week of release (yes, I'm old). I LOVED it! I loved it so much I've recently tried to replay it on my Chromebook via steam and though it runs fine the higher resolution makes me need the resolution patch but I can't figure out how to access steam files on the Chromebook to install it. So I'm still playing it despite cut off heads in the cut scenes and cramped visuals throughout.
But you know what? It's still a fun game! It's rough around the edges with aging gameplay but the setting and story pull me through and I find myself wanting to keep going. I've also bought bloodlines (also played when it first came out) but it refuses to play giving me the 15mb error that I can't fix because like Redemption, I can't access the Steam game files and am unable to patch it. Too bad it would run well as I have a Chromebook with half decent specs. Anyhow back to Redemption... Were there ever any novels or Paper RPG products that featured Christof from the game? I really enjoyed his story and was curious if anyone picked it up? Also Redemption made me appreciate the Dark ages as such a great setting for VTM I think I like it better than the modern day stuff. Yes, I'm rambling as I simply like the game.
One thing this replay has made me do is dig out the Masquerade of the Red Death novel trilogy that apparently aren't popular among die hards... But man they are good fun and I love em. Maybe they won't hold up, maybe they will.
Thanks for letting me talk VTM everyone.
Hey VTMBers!
What are your personal favorite 3 Disciplines in the game (in no order, unless you want to specify)?
I ask because I like how differently the Clans can play and how their Disciplines interact, though I know there are certain synergies or favorites that each of us could or would pick (or do pick, if you use the Console).
I wonder if devolopers originally thought of making protean 5 as an actual wolf, like Beckett's transformation, not a half bat or werewolf looking so-called "war form", because I saw some concept art and it was just a wolf, actual animal looking wolf. It was Protean wolf-form. I think I saw it on wiki site.
Such a shame, cause it would have been nice if gangrel can turn into an animal wolf, not a werewolf, or werebat. I wonder if there is any mod for that, although I think it would be really difficult because of animations. Hmm.
This counts for ghouls and humans as well. I’m curious to know how old some of the characters seem to you guys. For example, Heather seems like she is about 20-23, and Knox seems like 28-32 to me? I haven’t seen official age confirmations so I’d love to see your guesses for your favorites.
Doing the snuff tape mission and reached the part where Abram's tells you to go to the mansion on King's Way. I do, kill the BBEG, fight my way back through the sewers to Hollywood, head back to Abrams and...
He asks if I've been to King's Way yet! No option to say yes, no way to go back there via the cab.
Is this a glitch? If so, it might be game breaking as there seems to be no way to advance the main storyline if Abrams won't introduce me to the Nos.
Otherwise, is there something I need to do to get him to recognise that I've completed the mission? Do I need to go back to King's Way via the sewers to collect something?
I finally bought the game myself instead of just watching Youtubers hooray 🎉🎉🎉 So I was expecting to spend a while just reading everything in character creation when I realized there's no option to choose a History. Why is it gone? Was that just a mod or is my version different or something?
VTMB is still on my mind after 20 years. As it is on yours.
Why? What makes it so good and memorable?
I was having fun playing this new quest at Hallowbrook Hotel and suddenly the game freezes. I fell from a hole into an ample room with Sabbat members and after that no matter what I do the game gets stuck. I tried several things like to engage or not engage in combat but nothing solves the problem. I can´t tell you which room I'm in the Hallowbrook Hotel because I'm not familiar with that building yet. I end up having to shut down my pc because there's nothing I can do about it.
Should I go back to an older save game and see if it solves the problem or there is a better solution?
It's my first playthrough and I was having so much fun until this happened.
I know they're vampirically ugly, but isn't it possible to make them at least more presentable?
Hello.
After my previous bug that forced me to start the game from scratch again i decided to give it another go and copy all my actions from my last playthrough.
In the rush i forgot that i shouldnt go back in the hospital from the front and now malcolm is hostile to me which makes it impossible to finish the quest Trick or treatment for heather.
Is there a way to reset his hostility towards me?
I dont wanna reload yet another old save that sets me back again.
In the Antitribu mod for Bloodlines, the Giovanni Book is given a new description, saying you can access its secrets with level 9 research and enough time. For whatever reason, I actually made a character with a really high research skill, so I was excited to use this book. Every time I click “Use” though, I equip it like a weapon, and nothing else happens. Does anybody know if there’s more to this? Does the “enough time” actually mean something here, like do I have to play the game to a certain point?
Thanks for any help!
Hi, I'm about to finish my first playthrough of the game, and it has been a ton of fun. However, I was wondering if there were any mods which allow me to not follow LaCroix orders. Like for example if I wanted to side with the Anarchs from the get go without having to follow the Camarilla at all.
I accidentally fat fingered my way into the society of leopold thingie. I didn't get spoiled thankfully and I alt f4'd out of it but now when I go back to my Tremere save it shows me Faith instead of blood and Spirit Heal instead of Blood Heal
Watching the LA by Night series has interested me in this game and I just started playing it last night. I am a Tremere Female and I am about to do the Astrolite quest
I just did the Gimble Prosthetics quest, so creepy 🥶
Was it ever intended to be able to control animals in the game? I remember a tv show about video games here in Quebec that talked about a game where you could control rats to make a diner close and stuff like that, and I remember the player character being the malkavian with the big pimp hat outfit model being used. I don't know if I'm misremembering but I'm pretty sure they were talking about VtM:B. I've seen a comment about the animal friendship skill being cut, it triggered a memory.
