<a href=http://pc.ign.com>IGN</a> likely got to see the same bits of Bloodlines that <a href=http://rpgcodex.com/index.php#2917>GameSpot did</a>, because they're also talking about the Chinatown hub in their new <a href=http://pc.ign.com/articles/557/557876p1.html>preview</a>.

<blockquote>The conversation between the leader, Ming Xiao, and the main character was an interesting one. There are several ways to approach the conversation, that mainly had to do with finding a sarcophagus of some sort in their hood. While Ming sat with her smug face, talking down to the player character, several different choices popped up, all leading the conversation down a different path. Some were ingratiating, some were merely tolerant, and others were downright hostile. Of course, the character being used for the demo was one that had exceptional conversational skills so some of the choices very well might not have been there had it been a different character. In the end, Ming pretty much threatened death if the search for the sarcophagus continued... but who wants to listen to her?</blockquote>

Hah, Vampires are already dead.

Maybe if you go the lawyer-vampire subset you can argue the point that you are already dead and so Ming is obliged to leave you alone?

"I'm already dead" is way cheesy though. Ranks right up there with "Been there" when told to "Go to hell". "If it bleeds, it can be killed" is the only counter argument I've got.

Could be a worse cliche, you could reply to the vampire chick with, "Bite me."

Somehow I don't doubt that's in there somewhere...

If you play a vampire with martial arts skills can you be like Johnny Cage from Mortal Combat? You know, beat the big bad boss with the Nad Punch(tm)? :D

Seriously though, if it weren't for the fact that I hate vampires I'd actually be willing to give this game a try. Well, if my machine could run it anyway.
