"I think people still enjoy the unique experience of them, but I don't think they're a great examination of mental illness and shouldn't be held up as one."
By the way, how pathetic is Brian that he feels it necessary to go on a literal apology tour for writing one of the most memorable things about Bloodlines?
Yes.but typical for the VtM PnP game too
That said, he emphasizes to us that the Malkavians of Bloodlines 2 will not be one-to-one representations of mental illness or those who live with one or several. The playable characters in the game are exclusively vampires which are, by their nature, inherently dangerous.
"I want people to have an understanding that the Malkavians aren't an accurate representation of mental illness, but are influenced by it," says Mitsoda. "But at the same time, being a stand-in for people with similar problems, I don't want them to be purely comic relief.
"As I said before, I'm pretty tired of mental illness being used as a crutch in writing -- the twist or punchline being the character is crazy. It's pretty obvious when a writer has just written themselves into a corner if they use the 'They're crazy' excuse to justify sudden shifts in motives or character traits."

Because you people still find issues in Bloodlines, even if they get smaller and smaller . And no, I don't want to do that again, not even for Bloodlines 2 !
like ten thousand years ago"March next year"?
When was the release date announced?
I mean from what we've seen so far, the 'March 2020' release date shown on the Bloodlines 2 Steam page is reflected in the trailer's 'Q1 2020' date, but the lack of specificity might mean that Bloodlines 2 could need a bit more time in the coffin.
Chris already basically did, right here on Codex discussing rape depiction in his previous work.Imagine if Chris went around apologizing for updated my journal or nature of a man or Tim for war never changes.

I actually hope so. March 2020 would bring the release right next to Cyberpunk 2077 and being overshadowed should not happen again to a Bloodlines game !
They could've postpone the release to October to not compete with Cyberpunk 2077 and make sure to iron out any Urine 4-related problems and prepare the DLCs at least. And to be sure they'll have RDNA 2 rays supported from the start instead of patching it later when nobody would care.They've been saying Q1 2020 and March is the latest it could possibly come out if they're shooting for a Q1 release date. In their shoes, I would be busting my ass to get the game out in January or February so there's some space between it and Cyberpunk. Postponing strikes me as a very bad idea. The only thing worse than releasing your action RPG a month before CP2077 is releasing it a month after CP2077. Although obviously they'll release on the same day as the most hyped game of the year if they're really trying to recreate the feel of the original.
