New Damsel looks like she can at any point start singing about the beautiful people.Only personality-wise, she was still as bangable as most of the women in BL1. Meanwhile Damsel in BL2 looked like a middle-aged tranny when HSL first showed her off, so I hope TCR scrapped her altogether.

I didn't find it offensively insipid, then again I turned subtitles off and enjoyed the SCATTISH WANKER NOISES and didn't quite catch everything.
-spends 10 minutes watching insipid small talk with non-memorable NPCs delivering clumsy exposition-
I actually thought it was going to be better than this.
I'm assuming it improves once the action starts?
Edit: lol, no it doesn't.

I have no idea how Still Wakes the Deep got the good reception it did. It's awful. Not just the writing either, as a game it's awful.
I watched 40 mins of a walkthrough so far.
-Boring dialogue in Scootish. I'm actually familiar with Scootish so it doesn't score any novelty points
-Linear as fuck
-Walkthrough player clearly getting annoyed that 90% of all doors cant be opened despite being interactive
-Obnoxious hand waving whenever you run
-Protagonist comments on every goddamn thing (generic swear factory style)
-Surprisingly janky
I don't get it. Am I missing something?
If this is what we can look forward to from TCR, my expectations for VtMB2 went down even more.

Are you surprised? Still wakes the deep is a movie game.
Why is she wearing a shirt with misspelled Russian?Only personality-wise, she was still as bangable as most of the women in BL1. Meanwhile Damsel in BL2 looked like a middle-aged tranny when HSL first showed her off, so I hope TCR scrapped her altogether.

Actually yeah, there seemed to be a lot of glowing reviews.
Despite pretending really hard not to be a walking simulator, there's really not enough gameplay to make it not a walking sim (you can climb ladders and follow yellow markers lol).
And there have been vastly better walking sims. Both in writing and presentation. I'm going to chalk the success of this one up to people being starved for good Lovecraftian content, and an oil rig is a naturally attractive setting for a horror game.

All movie games are the same. Some may allow you to right AND left but at their core they're the same.

Web translator are seen as AI and AI is evil because gender studies hires in gamedev feel threatened.
I, for one, welcome our new Robot Overlords.

You guys are being too stodgy. Still Wakes The Deep is fine. They went for a short immersive experience with nice graphics not unlike Cryostasis and pretty much nailed it. Lots of different types of manoeuvrability, fast paced, water stuff is really good. It's not a boundary pushing masterpiece but it's easily worth a play.

Like sure, this is no hero shooter but NPCs are still suppose to look visually appealing. Even nosferatu should look intriguing, interesting. This is just a freak show, corporates will never learn, won't they.

These are probably NPCs. Horror granny may be, but the next two characters remind me of those crappy pastel-colored American comics.
For me she is minor boss/questgiver.

Certainly I'm not finding anyone in this case interesting the way I think any clan should be, but people acting gender confused in this thread keep throwing me. For real real?

Well I was wrong about the Damsel reveal. I’m also not crazy about the design choice for the Anarchs, they just scream cartoony Borderlands looking characters to me.
Vulpes
Scholar
I don't know what the Unbound are supposed to be, but the last two characters sound more hermits who want to stay away from vampire society (aka Autarkis), so why talk about them in a dev log about the Anarch movement and not some other characters that actually contribute to their cause? As for their appearance, I don't really see anything wrong there. It fits the idea of them being a group of undesirables, untouchables, Dalit or however you wish to call them. The black Anarch looks too much like a fag? Good, it fits his politics!
A brand on your face isn't suddenly gonna make a human think you're a vampire. I guess it's there to encourage thinbloods to stay out of sight from the Kine altogether. When someone does ignore those instructions and fucks up (or the Court needs to talk to one of them for whatever reason), the brand would also make it easier to track them down. Regarding the old crone and why she has it despite being a full-blooded Brujah, I suppose it's in the name of solidarity.

Lou and the black Toreador were appropriately clean and pretty compared to these. Brujah and Gangrel aren't the first clans to come to mind when you think about the stereotypically seductive vampire, and the respective player models in BL1 were indeed fairly underdeveloped compared to the rest, way fuglier than Beckett or Nines. Clan Toreador is where you'll find the strikingly pretty bloodsuckers, mainly.
Not that I trust TCR to honor these traditions at all, so those two cammies mentioned might be the best they have to offer.
There's still a small possibility she'll appear as an easter-egg cameo. If not then there must be a good reason for her absence, like something related to Mitsoda and his writing in both BL1 and HSL's build. Maybe the recurring characters from BL1 can't be legally used here.

If you read the linked post, yes, they are explicitly NPCs that TCR both names and gives bios for.

Brujah used to be cool:
She appear for 200%. Ony question is - in what form.

I'm sorry, I'm lost myself between these big picures thread.
And I'm not satisfied with what I read.
