I think Mercurio is actually almost 60.50 year old cop Mercurio and korean chink Therese.
I really don't understand what's wrong with the original graphics. They are good enough to provide the immersion sought.
I completely agree. Upscaling original textures by AI is fine for people who need this, although those mods crash a lot, but why completely change e.g. poster and pictures? That's not what a HD mod should be about!
I too agree. The game has aged rather well, and at any rate, trying to modernize some of its parts... I feel it's as if the game were a good bread, and someone added several layers of butter to it, sprinkled it with sugar, and presented it as a cake. Sure, skills were used and all, but it inevitably falls flat, with the modernized parts sticking out sorely.Even faithfully upscaled textures that 100% match the originals will often visibly contrast with the still lower resolution meshes, effects and animations. In a way it can actually make the game look older compared to the original where you might stop noticing the lower texture resolution after getting used to it whereas the dissonance of high resolution textures with low poly models remains noticeable. It's a similar effect to 1080p remasters of old TV series where what used to be rocks are now clearly paper props.
And I'm not even saying that this means you shouldn't use upscaled textures (I often use them myself) but its worth keeping this in mind instead of blindly following a bigger = better mindset. Heck, it might even be a desirable effect when replaying your old favorites.
Nice!I made a simple Reshade profile that made the shadows darker so vampire abilities that allowed you to see things in the dark became more valuable.
14th generation thinbloods can still sire, but 15th generation ones cannot, because no vampire can have more than 13 generations between him/herself and Cain.Just hit a minor lore inconsistency (unless I'm missing something):
Thin-bloods aren't supposed to be able to sire; that's what makes them thin-bloods. Yet Lily sired E, even though Lily is by her admission, and according to her German sire, also a thin-blood. What's the deal with that? Is she just confused, and not a thin-blood? If so, then how come her sire just dumped her there?
I might be mistaken here a little bit, I think 14th generation vampires have a 50% chance of being thinbloods, and the half which isn't thinblooded can still sire, but the half which is thinblooded cannot. 15th generation vampires have a 100% chance of being thinbloods, making them the final generation. Also, thinbloods can occur at any generation, but the ones above gen-14 are vanishingly rare.14th generation thinbloods can still sire, but 15th generation ones cannot, because no vampire can have more than 13 generations between him/herself and Cain.Just hit a minor lore inconsistency (unless I'm missing something):

China-man vampire,
Yes. As long as you don't get too close (read: bump into someone) you will be fine. No real reason to use sewers as Nosferatu.So in Bloodlines playing as a nozzie, is it normal that I can avoid getting masquerade violations from people on the sidewalk by walking in the middle of the street and not stopping? No stealth, no sewer usage. Just walking.
Even when someone sees you and runs away in panic, this is not masquerade violation. You get it only when several people see you.So in Bloodlines playing as a nozzie, is it normal that I can avoid getting masquerade violations from people on the sidewalk by walking in the middle of the street and not stopping?
