Completely agree… Fallout 2 and VtmB are by far the best computer RPG ever… I am still waiting for games with such scope and stroytelling…

Except for Fallout 2, this has got to be the best RPG I have ever played.

I always enjoy playing again after a while, especially because of Wesp making those unofficial patches for it on planetvampire.

If only gaming companies made good games these days…

Okay Toee wasn’t that bad, it was a recreation of a small classic module it wasn’t meant to be a grand story driven quest, that doesn’t make it bad just a different experience.

Bloodlines was awesome if unfinished, however I’ve always thought its problem was that they needed a combined arms assault, if they wanted shooting and almost realtime combat they need to have people from that background on their teams. Or even hand over some aspects of making the game to other teams.

Although the endgame isn’t that bad if you’ve persevered with firearms, you can by that point literally waste anything in the game with startling ease, so it takes much less time.

Also Arcanum kicked major ass.

I’m beginning to consider if all the memorable rpg experiences are the ones that involve some hacking in the real world…

Forgive my enthusiasm – but this is quite possibly the best thing ever – a mod for Bloodlines that enables you to recruit a posse of NPCs for the ultimate in social vampirism.

“That didn’t rock”, even.

Has there ever been a game which involved using a severed limb as a weapon didn’t rock?

Bloodlines was wonderful – and the haunted house and jeannette missions are a couple of gaming highspots to compare to anything else.

But ToEE was utter rubbish. Cannot believe the same people were reponsible.

I want to buy it on Steam but I don’t want all my money to go to Activision :-(

Tessera’s ‘true’ patches are a crock. They’re a hatchet job done on the wesp ones to conform to the other guy’s ‘purist’ viewpoint.

At least he had the presence of mind to keep his Bloodlines nude packs out of the main release, though.

Vampire:Bloodlines is indeed a gem. I think the gaming studio should really aim towards making game like this or even better. Lately, the graphic of games are getting better, but not sure why, the gameplay of these new gen games are more toward shooting games lately. They don’t really care about the uniqueness of the story and concept anymore, it is more to heavy shooting game, that’s all. If only this game is being remade….

Bloodlines is so good, it gets two Retrospectives on RPS.

The community patch really does clean up the gunk. I still stop playing before reaching the endgame, though.
