Telling people how you got the illegal leak, narrowing it down to at most 2 dozen people=fake leak.
Pure incline if true.
This is Paradox marketing. They know it's better to keep the conversation going, even if there's nothing to say, so they produce these fake leaks.
They succeeded, you're talking about it. Keep dancing to their tune and using words like "hype" and "incline" for a turd that doesn't deserve to even be called "vtmb" 2.

the new vtmb2 will remove all wokeness, will feature toxic vampire masculinity, and be a tightly honed and crafted immersive sim.
Wouldn't mind it at all. As long as it's fleshcrafting.
I had fun in Antitribu mod with my Szlachta.

"I had fun in Antitribu mod" is not something I expected to read.... ever. How did your Szlachta survive more than 3-4 seconds of enemies blasting it with assault rifles that, in this mod, seem to fire bullets made from Sunlight and god's hatred for the undead?
Mayhap there lies the trick. The Szlachta are still mortal.
Benedict Cumberbatch being a Tzimisce would explain a few things...

Mortal or not, when I played Antitribu with a Tzimnisce, my Szlachta died awfully quick to any enemy in the mod that could hold an assault rifle, and by "quick" I mean the aforementioned 3-4 seconds. The same applied to the PC himself, even though Kindred are supposed to be pretty resilient to gunfire in both the lore and actual PnP mechanics.
I was one of the people voicing this complaint (among many, many other complaints) waaaaaay back in 2015 on the Antitribu official Forum, but the mod creators didn't really seem to give a shit since they were busy trying to get their own vidya studio to take off and they were using Antitribu as advertisement. The studio in question, as you might have guessed, failed miserably in less than 1 year and no longer exists save from some promotional hype-posts on social media from 2016.
I hate to be the one to go "told you so", but..... told ya so, you fucking niggers.
I was playing the game as it was Arcanum, had 2 followers, sired Yukie, got the gargoyle AND had my Szlachta. That xenomorph looking guy can fuck shit up, I tell you. Although that Ultra-Hunter squad that heli's in at Andrei's mansion was really tough.
I want to try Lasombra next, simply because of Obtenebration and pic related:

Ah, gotcha, having a small army at your side does help things. Personally, I avoided followers altogether because it seemed far too immersion-breaking even in a mod that's intended to be immersion-breaking.

Lasombra are literally the perfect encapsulation of this Mod in general. Hugely ambitious ideas that would've made for a completely different, refreshing and enjoyable playthrough of an old game in every way, except all of it is fucking broken, buggy and unfinished.
The mod makers actually went out of their way to adapt Obtenebration into what it's supposed to be in PnP, but the problem is that their code/scripts literally don't work half the time and the powers offered by new Disciplines feel largely useless against the "chain-gun-mini-nuke" dropping enemies that the mod forces you to find against as early as mid-game and onward.
Yeah I can see how it can turn some people off, but for me, it was a breath of fresh air, since I haven't heard of CompMod up until the point I played Antitribu. I was actually thinking of playing the mod by itself because it's ambitious as hell, plus all the options you get as Ventrue (dominating bums and prostitutes, even small time NPC's to do your bidding) seem massive. Plus I have a corruption fetish.
That was the other thing I wanted to talk about, I like the mod when it actually works, half the time it just falls flat because of its scripts. Like how vampire hunters can attack you in the middle of the street if you have a violation, but youre still in the Masquerade area, so if you try to fight back, you get police hunting you on top of hunters attacking you. Plus all the random hunter assassins placed in various points of each hub can be a pain in the ass. (I remember fighting hunters in Hollywood's backstreets, alleyways and sewers, all with 0 violations).
FTFY. Unless I mixed mods up?
After playing the mod for a while, you numb to all the retarded combat choices. Having fought 2 Panders (one in Ocean House, one in the Downtown cutscene with Nines), hunters, and Grout's very own Malkavians, I didn't even flinch at the thought of having to fight his wife.
It didn't numb me enough. The STUPID was just too powerful in that one instance.
