    The game literally has selectable pronouns. That's like getting mad at someone for talking about RPGs on an RPG forum.

    I also never stated anything about trannies. Only leftists that are obsessed with them.

    Well he was a real anarchist in my book,a filthy pillaging and raping pirate :obviously:. It really represented modern socialists really well,a bunch whiny spoiled young vams whining about "mah struggle". While Jack was just a badass pirate beating the shit out everyone and not whining about anything.

    Another reason why it feels like you're reading from a script is that I've seen this post ad verbatim in 2 different places already.

    The simple fact is that the Anarchs are portrayed as the desirable but somewhat unstable ideal. Nines saves you twice out of principle, not politics. Isaac, the baron of Hollywood, is at the very least open to you about his demands and what he's doing -- he won't help you against the Sabbat of course, because all they are doing is siege down the Camarilla. And so on. They are clearly the closest you have to the 'good guys', whereas the Strauss option is the pragmatic one where you'll still remain a pawn.

    And on top of that they are communists.

    Plenty of long-time posters took issue with those quotes and considering that said quotes were from the lead writers' mouths vs. the marketing boilerplate bullet points, it's not a huge shock people are giving them significant weight.

    The Codex has a long standing tradition of taking in refugees. Used to be they came with TES or BioWare releases, nowadays we've been in the Eternal September for years now. Yes, like I said there are misgivings and hopes being voiced by a minority of posters. And also like I said, it is always in danger of being drowned out by fixture shitposters from GD and a deluge of newfags.

    Also, no I am not quoting marketing boilerplates, but the other stuff that development leads are also talking about.

    Deus Ex inspired map design,

    Troika background reactivity,

    No quest arrows,

    Character Sheets,

    and so on

    literally alt tabbing between one now tbh, god I fucking hate university work

    The point is that this is not some complex topic. Bloodlines and especially vampire in general has ALWAYS been more on the lefty/SJW side of things and you getting told this over and over again is simply the result of it being TRUE.

    Like, you complain about lack of thought but none of the people that gave me negative ratings here RESPONDED to any of my posts calling them out. ??? One person is having a breakdown over trannies for some reason, another just said he wishes I died, and Goral, the closest to what there was to an argument, just stopped talking.

    How many different way should people go on about claiming a simple truth if there is no opposition to the initial proposition in the first place?

    You know, they could push all their liberal hippie shit in, say, a Werewolf or even a Mage game if they really wanted to.
    But no, that's not what this is about.

    and what you are doing is invade the sanctum of a tschimisce elder. a death sentence even for a squad of vampires your age, yet a thing he himself would profit off of in the form of nosferatu inteland one less problem to worry about in terms of faction war, but all he offers is a taxi ride and "good luck, retard". the only anarch cast in a good light is nines, but only as long as you don't antagonise him in any shape or form.

    Come on mate,i do agree with you,but you are pulling it out of context here. Bloodlines was a game of its time...like every game/book/movie really. The creativity of people is build on the world and setting they live in. That is why we won't get games like of old times,because those times have passed. If we get a Bloodlines...it will be Bloodlines that is coming out in a year. Having in mind the time we live in,it is not smart to just push political shit in games. In this times people are more pushed by the ideology and the sjw shit than the mechanics and the skill tree. If this games back then,nobody would have cared,but now this shit is fucking absolutely fucking everywhere and people are fed up with it. I just want to play a normal game about fucking bloodsucking parasites,not to listen some tranny faggot whining about mah struggle and all that shit. At this point i really don't care about hubs,skill trees and all that shit,every game have so it is not something new and amazing. I just want to sit down and enjoy a fucking game! Now you could look past all that political shit....well good for you,i am honestly happy for you,you could enjoy something that i can't. And do you honestly think that it will be "slight inclusion"?

    Not his problem. The Tzimisce is LaCroix's problem and you're LaCroix's dominate bitch. He says it to your face that the anarchs are only going to bother going in when it matters to them.

    It is LaCroix who's dominating you to do his shit and it is the Anarchs being reasonable about everything, including saving your life.

    If you're seriously trying to argue that the Anarchs aren't portrayed in a positive light in Bloodlines, you're crazy.

    Someone should take the plunge and play through it again, take some out of context Screenshots of all the gun vendors, strip clubs, prostitutes, stereotypes, cultural appropriations and other colorful characters (Tseng, Fat Larry etc.) and put together a collage proving that it was actually Alt-Right propaganda with Muh Sexism, Raycism, Muhsogny, Ableism and all the other good stuff. Maybe one could get them to disavow the game and turn against its original designers. :lol:
