Modern setting was one of Bloodline's strengths.
Yeah, but we already got that and its very unlikely that they'd manage to make better or as good game as Bloodlines was. On the other hand making better Redemption with some Bloodlines sensibilities sounds way more plausible.
I agree, I guess because we can relate to a lot of things, you live in the same era as the game setting and thus you know what it is to go to a night club, piss of a goth I dont know.
Or just the simple fact its refreshing.
I think the point about solving things logically (going to the hospital to get morphine and so on) is something that always makes me want to have RPGs set in the real world, or semi-real world as in Bloodlines. I mean, you don't have to toss that logical thinking out just because it's fantasy (Arcanum had those bits where you go research old newspapers for example, loved that), but I believe those solutions would just suggest themselves easier to designers if they're working with "their own world" so to speak. I love that in Bloodlines, even though it's obviously fantasy and sort of "exaggerated reality" (though I've never been to LA so maybe it is indeed very realistic, heh), it's very easy to latch on to.
True.
Bloodlines 2 could start in the recent past (anything after the Great War) and progress to the modern day (which could be used to up the difficulty in upholding the masqurade now that the internet and cellphone cameras are a thing), but medieval is a poor choice.
Its unlikely VTM:B2 will be good, since VTM:B wasn't good to begin with.

That's actually fair criticism, though its also true that the superb voice acting and art allows you to buy into those same stereotypes and clichés. Plus, goth try hards aren't much of a cliché within the CRPG world.A funny thing about Bloodlines being such a great game is that most veterans of the PnP Vampire Books and Novels don't regard it too highly for playing to the stereotypes and clichés.

Trying too hard to be
It does?Other than that the game fails as an rpg
Instant Codex Classic, just pour water.Needs a fan Patch in order to be viably played

Yeah but how many WOD games are out there anyway? Being such a niche setting it's no surprise that Obsidian was tempted to play it safe and not stray too far from the formula. Not to mention that the vast majority of the people who played Bloodlines never played a WOD PNP session or even heard about it in the first place. I know I didnt at that time.
