Modern rpgs in a nutshell.

Because everyone who is at least a little rational knows that there isn't even a theoretical chance of it being good, so the only way you can extract some enjoyment from it is if it's a spectacular dumpsterfire, like Andromeda on steroids and meth.
The worst thing that can happen with it would be that it comes out as a functional, yet completely bland, inoffensive, Chinese sweatshop style mediocrity. Not fun enough to play, but also not bad enough to make tons of memes out of it.

Will the characters be as memorable as the ones in VTMB? Calling it right now,they probably wouldn't beat the voice acting and facial animations in Bloodlines.
Jeanette,Velvet Velour,Smiling Jack,Beckett,Gary,Lacroix,Fat Larry,Venus(and her BOOBS),so many great characters.

IIRC, the version of the Source engine Bloodlines was developed with was generally considered trash (which is why among other things, from what I heard, modding Bloodlines is extremely difficult) but it was praised and remembered for having the best facial animation and lip-syncing capabilities at the time.
And indeed, it holds up well to this day. Very few non-AAA games do that anywhere nearly as well as Bloodlines.
I can smell the bbq already.
Incorrect. There is a theoretical chance of it being good. And until it releases, there will continue to be such a chance.
At least as good as Vampyr, like B tier game quality.

Vampyr was an F- tier game. I uninstalled that shit the nanosecond Lady Ashbury's brown adopted feminist daughter started ranting about the patriarchy. Can't go 10 minutes without talking to some retarded woke side character. Insanely cucked ez boring shit game.

Fuck VtmB 2.
Just play the original with CQM. It's well worth it, and you can hear the shitty VO from yours truly
Lol, you were The Mack? Still my favorite Lasombra pimp-bro to date. Maybe I should do a Hazel run next.

When compared to Troika's content, yeah, kinda, but when compared to other mods developed by unpaid hobbyists that significantly alter the main plot and narrative by adding a fuckton of extra OC, it's one of the best pieces of work around, for any game.
It's pretty much a must-play for someone that went through the regular game 3-4 times.
Or for those sick, autistic fucks I heard about that have 15+ full playthroughs in total, both in the regular and various gameplay-overhauled versions of the game and are looking for any extra content to get their Bloodlines fix... cough cough

I feel personally attacked
Hahaha, get a load of this loser, he replayed Bloodlines over a dozen times, hahaha, who does that? Hahaha... haha.... ha....
in my defense, I first played it all the way back in 2006, so that averages to about only one playthrough per year, thus proving that I do not, in fact, actually have a problem

For a few characters its pretty terrible. The main characters however: Victoria, Hazel, Arturo, etc. sound fucking amazing.

"Fucking amazing" lmao, Victoria and Arturo sound mediocre at best and that's only because they got that shitty hood rat beaner thing going on. Hazels VA is stiff and doesn't fit the characters edgy DeviantArt appearance at all. He sounds more like some 28 year old white collar dweeb named Daniel. I'll give them credit for trying, but if the creators really want this mod to stand out they should raise funds for better non-volunteer VA's so the entire thing doesn't feel so damn immersion breaking. It's prob too late now though.

Some of the old characters with new voices sound close enough, but the thing I really didn't like is that some of them were not voiced at all like Nines and Bertram if I remember correctly. They should have been cut, especially as their part in the Sabbat story made no sense in the first place as Jack certainly told them not to fight over the sarcophagus and also because the dark fighting arena was one of the worst new maps anyway! Strauss could have just starved the player to Topor in his magical maze...
