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

[GhostCow]

I don't expect BL2 to have anything to do with the first game other than some characters returning. I didn't think of the first game as a big enough event to even be worth mentioning in the second but I guess we'll see

If he's meant to vary by DM's taste, then I see nothing wrong with the approach of DM Troika.

So, you think Troika should be able to dictate White Wolf's own flagship character? Strange opinion, but WW was right to not feel that way.

Yes. Like every DM does in his Chronicle.

 

[GhostCow]

Now that I've thought about it I'd honestly rather see Christof show up in BL2 than anyone from the first game. He's the most interesting character from the PC games.

 

[Storyfag]

Perhaps not THE most interesting, but definitely one of the most interesting characters, I'll grant you that.

 

[Vincente]

I honestly want Pink back, but Christof is okay too.

Spoiler

Troika should be able to do pretty much anything they want in their own game. It's based on the WW IP. It doesn't define it or have any effect on the tabletop. It's its own thing.

In addition to what Latro said, White Wolf promoted Bloodlines as an official part of V:tM canon https://www.gamespot.com/articles/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-impressions/1100-6089715/

The game's story was developed by Troika, but it is closely intertwined with White Wolf's Time of Darkness novels about "Gehenna," the end of the world. In fact, the story has been officially accepted into the canon, and White Wolf considers Bloodlines to be the prequel to the books.

Sure they could have hypothetically set up some Lucas-style canon tiers, but nerds care a lot about stories that "count" and disregard stories that "don't count." Nature of the business.

The whole notion of canon is retarded.

Even our world has the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Constraining fictional worlds to a single canon is moronic. Containing fictional worlds in role-playing which involves inherently variable interpretations and outcomes is twice moronic. Arguing about what it is or who controls it is three times moronic.

It’s good for breeding docile consumers I suppose.

Soo there wasn’t anything totally new revealed on the world of darkness stream except that there are a lot of video games that they’re working on that they can’t talk about yet!

 

[HansDampf]

Okily Dokily!

It can be the other way around, nasty companies wanting to mess with the canon so they can deliver a crappy product to docile consumers.

Disney / Marvel / Lucasfilm

 

[Semiurge]

They are clearly shying away from the light of superior upcoming games (Cyberpunk).

 

[Whiny-Butthurt-Liberal]

Is it shit?

 

[Melcar]

It's all shit.

 

[Storyfag]

It all must be shittified!

I watched the last episode of vein pursuit and like half of episode 7 and it was totally way better than the first one so I made a list on my phone with some stuff that happened!

The brujah biker:

is called Camouflage. He's super quick, strong and quiet and the dude running the game definitely had a moment where he described him as a barbarian soo maybe he's like an ancient vampire lol like even Damsel had trouble dealing with him

The other vampire with him was called The Associate and is maybe this person:

They can't speak, can do something way scary called dread gaze and are non-binary (gender uncertain is what the person running the game said). Um, they were like a weird black shiny monster thing in the airport hanger (the final episode takes place in a military base) which I don't get...they can also control crowds of people to do what they want.

Camo called himself a collector and they're totally working for someone else.

Damsel still has her sleek red hair and beret lewk and is still so fierce!

The thing she's transporting could maybe be the Ankaran Sarcophagus which I guess means it didn't blow up at the end of Bloodlines 1 but if it didn't I don't know why Nines would want Damsel to bring it to Seattle?

A bunch of helicopters appeared at the end and shot hellfire missiles at them (um yeah don't really know why)?

Damsel escaped with the help of the group!

Glad to see discussion on this game has picked up. It will be the best RPG released this year, bar none.

 

[Kalin]

Yeah but will it have nigger warnings?

 

[Kalin]

Asking for a friend.

CD Projekt didn't go full libtard with any of their games during marketing or otherwise, so there's fewer reasons to expect that Cyberpunk will be like that. At worst it will be in line with other recent offerings, and much of what some would describe as SJW corruption could be explained by the game setting.

Dude, have you even read about the game's development?

It seems that it's mostly SJW's that are whining about it, whether it's because there's too much skin, outfits are too sexed up, homespun characters of ethnicity are too realistic (=not white enough), someone said "cunt", not enough of this or that... They're not going to play it of course, they just want games to be another medium of "education" that has to reflect their progressive ideology. I hope game developers know that all they should give to the SJW's is lip service, to keep them happy and silent during development. If after the game's release they find that they've been betrayed (lol), the outcry will help sell it to those who will actually buy it.

Huh there are no new gameplay videos?
