#Pros

• Great VA work
  
• Sweet original soundtrack + featuring beloved songs from 2000s
  
• Dialogue. I like talking to the characters in this game. Their animations also help
  
• There are silly things in this game but never renders the game as comedy. Intended themes are always present
  
• A few clever jumps, well played Troika
  
• Side quests goog
  
• Unofficial Patch still getting updates is crazy

#Cons

• Combat. But given how old it is and melee exists... Idc. It's not unplayable
  
• Unfortunately, sound editing. Lots of cool interactions get butchered by this
  
• Even tho story branches out and there are unlockable multiple endings AND this title went through development hell, main story feels pretty linear

I'd love to see a Bloodlines title where faction system being fleshed out and working with/against the player character. It's a bit stretch I know but I'd also love a playable human character. Maybe as a hunter and having their own questline and stuff... I have ideas, hire me!

Now that I played VTMB again, I am convinced that the market would love a modern gothic arpg, vampires or not, there is a silent demand for adult arpgs, it becomes obvious when a game that has mature themes makes big sale numbers. I am not sure about this franchise but I hope we get original IPs that embrace these themes.

Anyways, game cool. Save Malkavian for your second run. Avoid Nosferatu on first playthrough(s). Try with Unofficial Patch.
