It's about student loans?

*You may have to eat a few debt collectors and maybe a few government servants, but there will always be more where those came from!

Things VtMB was about:

-heavy metal

There was 0 heavy metal in Bloodlines.

Industrial metal, then. Whatever.

I think you meant to say goth which is kinda like sexuality + metal music (which you mentioned as separate things on your list).

Well Genitorturers are specifically industrial metal and Lecher Bitch was the one track was the one that sprang to mind, so.. but who fucking cares, really

Or are you one of those faggots that get mad when someone misgender some stupid subgenre?

 

[Vincente]

So uh, in your guys' opinion, where will the game take place? L.A like Bloodlines, NYC like Redemption, or somewhere new like Chicago?

Yeah, that's not heavy metal.

And damn right I get mad when someone pretends to know something they don't know. It's like Hollywood calling Death Metal anything metal.

Also, fuck you.

If they're smart, they'll do 5 different locations around the world. Back in the days, everything Chinese used to be hip, so Deus Ex did Hong Kong, while VtMB did China town. Nowadays, Russia and Arabic countries are exotic. And timetravel through any mechanics (someone's memories, torpor, whatever) would be great.

So all in all:
- Russia
- Any Assamite territories - Arabic, Middle Eastern, maybe Turkish
- Time travel to Dark Ages Constantinople
- Time travel to Victorian America around Mississippi with their famous steamboats, the area infused with the creole culture, to give homage to a certain vampire novel
- Last one is up to your, Paracucks

Edit: oh, the 80s are making a return. So 80s America, like in Stranger Things.

Oh, dear Lord...

 

[Lacrymas]

Dark Ages is overdone and it will be full of trannies and gays. I propose the Roman Empire or Carthage.

 

[hivemind]

how is dark ages overdone ....

Seriously?

If they do Roman Empire, it'll be a game about Roman Empire, not about vampires. Everyone would have to talk with phrases like "You appear as honorable man, yet attempt to slip cock in ass!", "Jupiter's balls!", etc. The vampire theme would be heavily diluted.

I didn't like that in Redemption tbh - I'd prefer if it was only about either the middle-ages or modern era. Hope it picks a setting and sticks to it.

"Didn't like"? Nigga, it was mind blowing. For half a game you play in the middles ages and then bam you're in the modern world with a shotgun. It was mind blowing.

Fortunately, it's an old game now and most people wouldn't expect that particular trope. It's ripe to be exploited again.

 

[Lacrymas]

Seriously?

That's my point, the game will be full of gays and trannies, but the Dark Ages is not an appropriate time, so Roman Empire.

but the Dark Ages is not an appropriate time

Maybe we can have lots of gays, but make the inquisition burn them all, so both camps of players are happy?

We are talking about sjws here. In their version of history, it is trannies and LGTBIWTFLOL! all the way back to the Big Bang. And you don't want to know why they think the Big Bang is called the Big Bang.

I wish Arcanum did that instead of all the "Very good, sir!" "You wound me, sir!" "Please, sir, everyone is upper crust in this world and so let us not be crass, sir!"

I see your logic, but not necessarily. Hell, Requiem had couple of Requiem for Rome books and that whole "Rome explored through the eyes of vampires" mostly worked just fine. You could argue Rome itself is established enough to be familiar to your average audience out there so that you could see the setting from a POV not confined to merely being ancient Rome.

It was mind blowing and it was cool in the sense that it gave you a taste of being ageless and immortal. I think the main reason I didn't like it, was because it left me with a weird annoying feeling of longing for both settings in the end - I didn't get enough of either setting.

 

[Lacrymas]

This is a setting in which the Path of the Devil is actually a bunch of activists individualists trying to smash the patriarchy end oppression free slaves, sooooo.

 

[fantadomat]

full of gays and trannies

Roman Empire.
