Wow, I never made that connection. But I remember that the "Nivbed" listed there was also a Troika employee...

I'm curious why do you think that source is legit and level headed that it's worth believing him. Studios are full of small conflicts. If that person contacted Mitsoda enough to form an opinion, there is enough room for a personal grudge.Chair-kicking moment is additional evidence that my ancient source who told me that Mitsoda was an egotistical primadonna who was difficult to work with was on the level.

Mitsoda managing the danger hair tumblerinas, maybe at least controlling the damage, and danger hair tumblerinas free to do anything they like, now the first option is gone

Dead State is criminally underrated though.Egotistical primadonna? No, every artist can, should and often will be upset if his or her art is not respected, be it music, story, paintings, and etcetera. And if he is not, there is a problem here. Because it means that he doesn't stand for what he is doing.
If he was making art, he'd be making his own things instead of coming in as a hired gun for a licensed product. Turns out his idea of art was Dead State and Panic at Multiverse High, which was uh....

Mitsoda was 100% in favor of the dangerhair agenda, hence why he insisted Hardsuit hire Cara and their mutual presence on the Fermi Paradox. He's not the guy from 2004.

He's had unceremonious dissolutions with three companies now (Obsidian, Hardsuit, DoubleBear given the divorce with his wife), seems pretty credible to believe the guy's a jerk.

Very few RPGs are as nonlinear, and it probably holds some kind of record for the amount of interactivity between characters it has.
I was talking about the Roguey's "ancient source".The source is Rik Schaffer who is a really nice guy and liked to work with Mitsoda as can be seen in his other Reddit AMA comments.I'm curious why do you think that source is legit and level headed that it's worth believing him.
At Obsidian he had a conflict with Chris Parker. After Alpha Protocol was released, some anonymous Obsidian dev also complained about Parker. Then Chris Avellone here also told us a bunch of shit about him. The guy is a decline and no wonder some people have problems with him.He's had unceremonious dissolutions with three companies now (Obsidian, Hardsuit, DoubleBear given the divorce with his wife), seems pretty credible to believe the guy's a jerk.

Saw Cara tweeted this recently, thought you guys may find it interesting.
Maybe they're one and the same? Schaffer has known Mitsoda since at least Bloodlines 1, no special reason to think Roguey never talked to the guy.I was talking about the Roguey's "ancient source".The source is Rik Schaffer who is a really nice guy and liked to work with Mitsoda as can be seen in his other Reddit AMA comments.I'm curious why do you think that source is legit and level headed that it's worth believing him.
People divorce all the time for various reasons.

In the recent years they did VO for id Software (Doom, Doom: Eternal) and Zenimax Online (Elder Scrolls Online and expansions) among others. I'm sure they'll be fine even without Mitsoda.Considering Mitsoda basically prints money for Rik and his wife, I seriously doubt Rik would dare to shit on Mitsoda in any place where it could be spread.
Well - first of all, it wasn't spread. We're just guessing. And Roguey is smart enough to not say anything either way about his sources. Second of all, tell me you've never talked crap about a friend to a third party even though it wasn't a great idea, and I'll give you an amazing deal on the Brooklyn Bridge.Considering Mitsoda basically prints money for Rik and his wife, I seriously doubt Rik would dare to shit on Mitsoda in any place where it could be spread.Maybe they're one and the same?

Yeah one of the main antagonists in the sabbat once called a nonbinary demi-sexual otherkin ''she'', needless to say this reignited the war between the sabbat and the anarchs in the area.The 'writers' for this abortion of a tabletop book said they won't allow people to actually play Sabbat, only use them as the evilest of evil antagonists. So perhaps sabbat will be bad enough not to use the preferred pronouns of the brave nonbinary black identifying gay thinbloods.In other news, they just announced the Sabbat book for V5. Looks terrible.
Don't worry, I bet they are all incloosive too, just like Rudi is.
"We might be literal walking corpses damned for all eternity by god himself to feed on the blood of humans and revel in all the death and destruction we cause, but we'll still respect your pronouns, Caindammit!" - V5 Sabbat Regent, probably

Sooo,before start citizen then...It'll be released in 2025.
I don't think it's he who sad that though. Most likely it's someone from Obsidian back from Alpha Protocol era.In the recent years they did VO for id Software (Doom, Doom: Eternal) and Zenimax Online (Elder Scrolls Online and expansions) among others.

It's still not good business to shit on your client. As far as Rik is concerned, Mitsoda was his boss, not Hardsuit.
It occurs to me that this project was a scam from the very beginning. You can't really make a sequel to VTM:B, it is a completely self-contained story that leaves no room for a direct continuation. Whatever this game was/is/would end up being, it's as much of a sequel to VTM:B, as VTM:B was to VTM:R. Meaning, not at all, since it's just another game set in the same universe. There is no reason to bring Bloodlines into the equation, beyond pathetic attempts at exploiting nostalgia and brand recognition.
Just make a new Vampire the Masquerade game with its own identity. You know, like Troika did right before it went bankrupt...
if fucking VtM 5e didn't come out in the meantime and fucked up the VtM universe for good.

Wasn't VtmB already based on older lore when it came out anyway? I never read anything about VtM outside the games (VtmR and VtmB, not the newer games that i also haven't played) but i remember reading something like that. They could have just ignored 5e.
Also while the main story itself is self-contained, there are a few unfinished threads that could be used - like Maximilian Strauss' plans or whatever that is heavily hinted in the first game but never actually seem to happen. After VtmB there is a power vacuum in Camarilla's side that he would try to take advantage of, in a still unstable playfield - it isn't like Camarilla vampires would just pack and leave.
Of course that was written ~17 years ago and it is likely there are books or whatever describing what happened after the game that would make any sequel that tried to use those threads hard. But as i wrote i don't know about that, i just judge from the game itself and i do think there are things that could be expanded just based on it.

Bloodlines is based on the old Masquerade edition of the game, which was superseded by a new ruleset (I think its called Requiem or something similar). However the new ruleset completely sucked and White Wolf reversed many of the changes, reverting to a simplified version of the Masquerade game.
