Political difference can't last that long. And if they want to make sequel to Bloodlines, they need story that depends on Vampires, not on random political blabbering of some people. While it's possible to make a story about how city falls under massive terrorsists spree and how that dragged vampires into problems.
...
Actually lets look what the story would need to sound plausible.
- In current political climate in US the only plausible start of massive terrorist activity is when blacks would initiate it. Because Vampires would be dragged in as victims, the bad people would be blacks (and possibly some hispanos) born in US.
Yea you are drinking serious shit when you think this would be released.
- Obviously looting and rioting by blacks wouldn't last long, thus for longer term riots which are necessary to properly flesh out the story, we would need something that would cause continuation of riot, even after blacks would rob shops for all TV and clothes they personally need. A misguided young whites who are continuing protests against what caused original black riot (even when blacks no longer bother to protest) would be completely believable and should allow a long term story.
This is getting better. This is so impossible to publish.
- While it's a bad idea to have something extraordinarily out of story to affect the story, logic says the riots should be fueled from outside because the person would wants riots to (who knows what reasons) wouldn't risk himself to even approach the town which is rioting. Well the story should be full of humorous elements so next part of story would flow just into it and sound believable. The president of USC nicknamed "Dummy Donald" know to have a spine equal to gummy bears, a president who has blond hair and made his face black to be more approachable by Hispanic electors, who is currently campaigning for his second term, made so underhanded nasty acquisition which was low even for him... Which prevented the person who financially supported riots to continue to fuel riots, thus situation stopped be hopeless. It's really important to show stupidity of "Dummy Donald" in funny way in TV shows and newspapers, to increase the irony of the acquisition which obliterates most of plans of rich greedy moron who wanted to destabilize that area.
- Now ending should be about three groups. Groups of young friends of these white protesters that try to save them from 11 years in prison. Few government officials who want to stop riots and save the town even when that would violate laws to get situation under control. And Vampires who want to not DIE because of riots. Which would inevitable bring in National Guard. Which would very likely cause deaths of most of Vampires in city. Government officials would see Vampires as a some kind of mafia who don't have time to commit crimes because they are trying to stop riots in the city. That should be recurring theme during game.
TV just shown dummy Donald who had another pre-election speech. He claimed how great was his effort during his last election term to help the country to rise economically.
The pub started to talk if he's also black under his belt. Person from ex-tatoo shop (currently outlawed by anti-HIV2 government regulation) claimed it's not endangering to balls even when it's done on balls.
After the pub heard my complain "but Dummy Donald doesn't know it." The pub divided between if he was brave enough to risk it, or if his brain emerged from the depth of his soul and saved him from the full course (on the grounds it's still painful when done on balls, and special paint is expensive and paid for a square inch).
The country was named USC after the fiasco when he changed constitution laws to change dynamically last letter to be the same as Standard And Poor country credit rating. Then he spend massive effort during the rest of his term to prevent country to automatically change name to USD.
...
14 days after ending cutscene. A vampire fixer would finally get out of supermax, and after arrival discovered they basically managed to keep masquarade intact, and would only make it worse. (So you are basically a mafia who cut deal with government to escape investigation. That solved all problems. I really don't understand your complains.)
Basically writing decent story that would allow passable Vampire Bloodlines is not that difficult. Game developers just shouldn't be scared that someone would complain.
, so I don't think they should cause big delays. But having a map not ready prevents you from connecting it with other maps which prevents you from getting a real feeling for the game. I know that from the Prelude mod which almost never came out because of this.
