World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 - VTMB sequel from The Chinese Room - coming early 2025

[Roguey]

Nice try, but this game is only on my radar because of the Christina Hendricks lookalike from the first trailer.

The dream is over. New Lou looks nothing like Hendricks.

The only takeaway I got from the video was that the new artstyle is a boner killer.

Look at what they did to Lou. What is this monster? Did Christina Hendricks try to sue or something?

Well, at last her tits were massive.

Well, at last her tits were massive.

They still are.

The person she's based on was stacked, it would be erasure to change that.

That looks like a chubby version of the villain from Rocobop 2.

So there is still hope. And if they didn't screw this up, maybe they won't screw up the others.
However, I have no faith in their gameplay design skills. Let's hope they don't retain something bad from the previous iteration.

I read an article about this: https://www.seattlemet.com/news-and...rothel-madam-seattle-history-underground-tour

There aren't any known photos of the historical Lou Graham. That description of her "physical assets" comes from the writings of the Seattle folk historian Bill Speidel, who may have been making shit up. But hey, big boobs.

 

[Tyranicon]

Starting to think I should've named my sequel game Memoirs of a Vampire Brothel instead.... missed opportunity.

 

[Latelistener]

Should've brought Mr. Damp instead, could've been an interesting character.

Although I'm not sure which clan he belongs to. Always thought he was a malk, but now I'm not sure.

Malk if he was supposed to be the ex-ghoul Vandall Cleaver, sired by Therese Queen Bitch.

Lyric Suite Not everything needs to be historically accurate you know? Some artistic liberties and creative touches here and there are allowed and in some cases, encouraged.

Madams or prostitutes of old never looked particularly hot, they were low class women with low class features. So imagining Lou as some kind of 10/10 milf is just fantasy.

Yes. It's a video game.

So fantasy then. But the reality of things was that real prostitutes looked like the wicked witch of the west.

Low class ugly women can still have big chests.

People claim the one on the left is Graham. Perhaps it isn't, but it's within the realm of plausibility, so why not assume it is?

(They also claim the one on the middle-right is a tranny which is funny if it's wrong )

DD and BD are good games....

Maybe so, but you can't argue with results. I knew a pro back in the day who once cleared $200,000.05 in six months. Which client payed 5 cents you might ask? All of them.

 

[The President]

It hasn’t really changed since then, you get what you pay for. A typical cheap prostitute is low class and skanky looking. If you want a girl who has some level of brains, is actually good looking and takes care of herself you got to pay, except those girls are called escorts.

It reminds me of the time in a college lecture where our class was reading a book involving “women of the night” and a student asked the professor the difference between a prostitute and an escort and his response was about $600 to $1000.

Gotta watch out for the ladies who have callouses down under.

Season Pass?

 

[Storyfag]

Seattle by Night season 2 is a direct prelude of Bloodlines 2, and things happening there will be a foundation for the events of the game.

I am still in the process of, ah, sinking my fangs into it.

Please post your impressions here once you're done. I personally can't stand watching these, it's always so cringe.

Only half of the episodes have been released until now, but here's what I could gather:

1. The Prince of Seattle is named Campbell, however the power behind his throne is the former Prince, the spectacular Lou Graham. It is unclear how or why she lost the formal praxis.
2. Ghouls have been going missing in recent nights.
3. The highway underpasses found throughout the city are collectively known as "the Jungle" and are gathering places for the detritus of society, kindred and kine.
4. Thinblood alchemists have discovered a pretty interesting blood-drug that, upon consumption, sates the Hunger as if the imbiber completely drained a mortal, and provides the benefits of the Blush of Life.

The remaining details seem to be specific to the chronicle.

Sounds a bit like the serum in Blade.
