Revisiting VtM: Bloodlines

[Sykar]

A restoration patch would leave the original game untouched except for bug fixes.

How would this even be possible with the restored content tightly interwoven with the rest of the game and not completely located in one cut location, like maybe in the KOTOR2?

Good point, which means that all restorations are mods. Not patches.

tbh I recently replayed the game with your patch and jumped a little

Then it worked exactly like intended !

No argument from me here, but I think I explained it already. When I took over the Unofficial Patch from Dan Upright, the name had already been established and Dan restored the SWAT rifle in his first version. I continued in that spirit and it was only much later that I learned about the differences so I created the basic patch version. Which should not have much changes left except for the occassional thing that I see as a bug fix and someone else might see as a modification.

Did you fix not being able to interact with that fucking door in the tutorial when Jack tells you to get inside?

Normally waiting a bit works there just fine...

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Jesus, who gives a shit what it's called. The content remains the same, so the only ones "fooled" into downloading it are the magical nonexistent purists that don't read changelogs or descriptions before downloading fan content. Besides, "unofficial" already means it won't be 100% as God and the developers intended.

Does the UP Basic change some NPC idle actions like Kilpatrick or Therese?

Reviews like these, even though funny, always trigger me:

Appropriate user name.

No, but Kilpatrick starts off sitting in plus because he had an unused animation for it.

Love you Wespy!

Should I use any mods on top of the Unofficial patch?

Should I use any mods on top of the Unofficial patch?

If you have to ask, no.

If you have to ask, no.

Unless they are just texture or sound mods, these are fine.

That was kind of what I meant. Can you direct me to any good ones? Never modded VTMB before, except applying the UP.

No, but I would uninstall that piece of crap and get the Tru patch.

 

[luj1]

But why?

There is a mod that slightly changes clothes to display ass and vagina on all female malk outfits.

Never used skin or sound mods myself, but I would look at the usual places, like Planet Vampire and the ModDB...

 

[Keppo]

Im playing modded version. Good game but a bit overrated i think. Im playing Tremere and idk something is lacking... I did 100 % in every area, im at the end game i think.. Killed Sabat, did the quest with werewolf, but i started rushing through encounters, its not something i do playing rpgs. i like take my time if i greatly enjoy something, its like i want this game to end already. But yeah good game nonetheless.

 

[hello friend]

fucking triggered

 

[Meurglys]

Yeah I felt the same thing when I was fighting 300 Chinamen.

 

[Delterius]

Its a metaphor for WW3. Its genius.

 

[Ent]

Is the Antitribu mod any good? Played the game 5 years ago and had a blast.

 

[laclongquan]

In case Keppo is being unironically noobish...

A true VTMB experience that allow you to say you have played the game is as follow:

1. vanilla installation with official patch.

2. You installed the True Patch if you are a connoiseur. OR if you are a noob, you can install the Unoffical Patch, BASIC MODE. because UP in its entirety is a mod despite the name. I have my own doubt toward basic mode but you noobs are generally unsuspecting.

3. Play Malk as first time player But noob can choose to play Ventrue. Tremere is actually OP to the point of absurdity. Dont let anyone say playing Malk 1st time spoil the game, you are at that point too noob to know what those mad ramblings are. At 2nd and 3rd play did you know enough to make sense of it.

 

[pippin]

I could run Bloodlines no problem without any patches using the Steam installation. I had to tweak a thing but it's something everyone here could easily do.
I'd reccomend Nosferatu first and Malk second. To experiencethe Malk memes you should keep low Humanity, which is something people often forget to mention. A Malk with high Humanity mostly gets a funny dialogue font and nothing else.

 

[Nano]

The true RPG experience would be letting people play them whatever way they want.

 

[HeatEXTEND]

i started rushing through encounters,

The combat is best disregarded altogether.
