    I still remember the observation of a future target while discussing things with an ally and watching a cat :).

    Not really. If the game offers an option to turn the questmarker off, like Tim suggested, you still need to have these!

    Dark Messiah was a great game, I haven't had such fun kicking enemies since :)! No chance at all, it took me 20 years to fix a game that was almost finished ;)...

    World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption Reawakened - fan remake in Skyrim engine

    Modding Bloodlines is not much harder than modding other Source engine games, only some things are hard-coded, like the number of disciplines, weapons and items. I don't remember enough of Redemption to know if it had much more stuff in that direction than Bloodlines...

    Revisiting VtM: Bloodlines

    Crashes are common for all Bloodlines HD mods, because the engine can only handle a certain texture folder size. But in case of this specific project, I never liked that he strayed too far from the original textures in the first place!

    ModDB went woke? I never noticed that and my mods are always released there first because the interface and finding stuff is much easier. It seems to be targeted more at the older games though...

    Already in Santa Monica you got the fantastic Oceanhouse Hotel mission, to show that you that there are other things that go bump in the night ;)!

    All of this is playing stealth to me compared to open combat, in fact this is the way I played Dishonored myself. Requiring to be undetected would be ghosting and I don't even do that in The Dark Mod :)!

    How do you do a non-lethal approach in Dishonored without using stealth? I can't remember many dialogue options for skipping fights like in Bloodlines.

    I agree and I already asked the HSL people why they didn't give it another name when it had so little to do with the original. They never really answered but in their case the writer and composer of the original game were still involved so it made kind of sense to attract their fans. With TCR I...

    To be honest they kind of have a point here. While Corvo was completely overpowered physically compared to any other human in the game and on top of it had supernatural powers, Arcane decided that using these to kill people was not the correct way, so they enforced stealth with their Chaos system.

    Not just legwork, the Sheriff is punching enemies to death because they have no better weapon? Just remember the Sheriff's sword from Bloodlines. Will Phyre knock some offender out in a court with her bare hands?

    That only works if you honor the original IP, as Disney, Sony and WB are still learning with Star Wars, Marvel and DC...
