World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs

[Jenkem]

One of the quests will task your fledgling vampire to attend a homosexual gangbang in a Toreador-run BDSM dungeon in pursuit of a Sabbat agent named Gilgamesh. Along the way you stumble across a party of bug chasers and are able to get their jar of collected semen if you pass a persusasion skill check. You can then give this to a homeless man in the alley who wants to get AIDS to increase his social credit score and he'll tell you where the Sabbat was last seen. If you are a physical-based character you can also try to threaten the dominator but the skill check is quite high IIRC.

For completing the quest you receive a leather biker cap and 800xp.

Is it called the Blue Oyster Bar by any chance?

bug chasers are too dark for world of darkness.

Yeah, true, should've left it how it was, but decided to not be antagonistic, even if it was as a friendly jab. Actually, living in Germany has made me even more bitter and spiteful towards the SJW vocabulary and terminology. At my German school, there are German courses specifically for women, so they can have their safe space (actual words used, just in German). I've seen not 1, not 2, but 3 marches against homophobia, islamophobia, antisemitism, racism, sexism and what have you since I've been living here. It's simply cringey, reactionary and virtue-signal-y at this point.

Bro, wehere y'all livin' at?

Here's some renders/artwork from one of the people who worked on the trailer:



These are all gone from the artists Artstation's page now, even though you can still see them via image searching just by searching for "Piotr Orlinski bloodlines".

 

[Goral]

I've posted full credits here so if someone has too much time on their hands he can try and search for more art by choosing different artists (although I doubt you will find any).

Changing the subject:

I wonder if we will be able to drive a car or some other vehicle within a hub or will we walk all the way like in Bloodlines and taxi/map will "teleport" us to other hubs?

Thought the narrator voice belonged to an old hag but she really looks great which is surprising. I thought her presence would be a mystery in the game given that they deliberately hid her figure but here we have the full model. This is kinda reassuring.

The mildly overweight brunette putting her cleavage on display? She was shown pretty clearly in the trailer.

I meant the one with the green dress. She was shown last in the trailer so I thought it would be logical to assume the voice belonged to her

Gotcha. Yeah, that model is more appealing, although the skin texture on the face is a little weird. From a technical standpoint, all the models look pretty good.

Are these supposed to be vampires? Seems a bit pink for a dead body.

Since they can get erection they can control the flow of blood in their bodies so they should be able to fake the right skin tone too. And in case it wouldn't be so simple I would imagine they would use a skin tone or whatever it is women use to counter the albino effect when interacting with humans to preserve the masquerade.

Barely anyone ever plays straight the fact that vampires in WoD look more and more corpse-like as they get older. Or become charcoal darker and darker if they're Assamites, for example. They have a way to "simulate life" by spending a blood point so they can hold food for a scene or appear to have a pulse, etc.

Given that VtMB has you looking like a grey corpse and no one even blinks an eye, I didn't think they would do the pink makeover.

and more corpse-like as they get older

Isn't this due to nearly all vampires dipping in humanity as they get older and not simply a function of their age?

 

[Lacrymas]

They don't appear dead at a first glance, but the longer humans interact with them, the more they notice their strange features. At that point, they have to Blush of Life to appear alive. Very high humanity vampires don't expend blood points and can just fake it constantly, though. The thing is, having it as high as is needed means the vamp is more virtuous than the average human, Bloodlines didn't really go into that. And the higher your humanity, the more saintly you have to act to preserve it. It's not supposed to be easy and it's supposed to be rare. This is a curse, not a better form of being a human.

Basically what Lacrymas said, but those two go hand-in-hand. From my tabletop experience most of the elders and older licks also tend to follow Paths versus plain Humanity rating and those are essentially "alternative moralities" so you don't even cling to your old humanity anymore. If I remember correctly your average modern night vampire has a Humanity 5 rating aka you start at 7 but it dips quickly. Unless you cheese it and sell two points for extra experience, that is.

 

[Deleted Member 22431]

hey guise, did you hear about the gay muslim vampire in Bloodlines 2?

I heard, but they need to make a few modifications and display the Islamic law and costumes in a believable manner.

According to traditional Islamic law, homosexual activity cannot occur in a legal manner because it takes place outside marriage and between partners of the same sex. So Rudi will have to fight for the survival even after the embrace.

Islamic scholars overwhelmingly teach that same-gender sex is a sin. Thus, Rudi will have to feel guilty about his actions.

I also want them to include proper wife-beating, rapes and nose-cutting, since these are all very common in the moslem world.

 

[pomenitul]

Are you an ESL?
Masochism is enjoyment from pain.

Retadro'd your post for the implication that masochism, a notoriously ambiguous and eminently translatable concept initially coined in German by an Austrian psychologist to describe the writings of an Austrian author born in the Ukraine, is to be understood unequivocally, and only by native English speakers.

Or be a sjw. Your humanity should drop to about 3 automatically.

How does Blush of Life work when you are on a different Path than humanity? Does it take into account your Path rating or do you use your humanity rating as it was when you switched to a Path?

It is going to be great!

Since they clearly include cameos of real-word characters (Jeff Bezos for example), they should include Anita Sarkeesian. She has the look. She could be Abbess of the Order of St. Joan.

Is it just me or does this image screams like a SJW version of Jeanette / Therese?
