VTM was basically a dating tool for goth nerds.

thank God for cRPGs
I don't like other people... I'm starting to believe you never actually tried pnp. A real life table allows you to throw insults and beers over failed rolls and arguments. If you can't see the value in that you're not truly an American boy.

imagination is for people who can't afford good computerscRPGs were made as a poor substitute for tabletop. A computer game will never, EVER compare. Let the friendless abortions seethe.
Are you european per chance? As a tropicalian I find the whole 'goth/dark' to be unrelatable, but i do hear that compared to the mericanians, the european tribals are more punk than sad.This is so weird. I played a ton of OWoD back in the '90, probably played with at least 3 dozens different players. Can't remember a single Goth/Dark. My metalhead presence with leather jacket and long hairs was probably the edgiest around. It was a great setting which allowed for a lot of interesting stories to be told.

We had one girl in our group (the group was 3 guys, 2 girls) who liked to wear mostly black clothes. However wasn't wearing a makeup (or weird piercings) and was acting normally. I wouldn't call her a goth myself as I always thought that goths should give the Addams Family vibes.VTM was basically a dating tool for goth nerds.

Funnily enough, the stance of the players / white wolf in there is to low key call Therese out for being a sex negative prude towards her sister.
Btw, one of the (unrelated) sources links to an old q&a forum post from bmitsoda.
Lancea wondered:
Without trying to get you in a law-suit and myself flamed - many, yours truly included, feel that the time constraints you (as in - the developer) were working in were a bit too tight. What were those last months (weeks?) of development really like?
The last few months, I, and most of the team, practically lived at the studio. I don’t remember sleeping a lot. I rarely left the office before 2 AM, and usually, I would go to lock up and notice that Brock Heinz was still there. It was a flurry of people in the office, constant email responses, fist shaking, growling, bitching behind closed doors – I think some threats of physical harm coming from all directions. It was very much a death march. There was a lot of frustration and anger. But when things start coming together, it was not rare to hear a “wow” or “that’s fucking cool”, and man, you need those moments. So many people were wiped after the last push. I was honestly catatonic for a short period after the whole ordeal. The best part of all when was people within the office played the game and I heard – “Our game’s pretty cool!” It was an amazing experience that I never want to go through again.
Is Damsel a shot at (what passes for) the US Left?
Damsel was one of my favorite characters to write for, mostly because of Courtenay Taylor’s performance (she acted out Damsel as she voiced her). Damsel is a shot at people who get behind movements and defend them rabidly, no matter how impractical or unsuccessful they seem to be. Wait, is that it? No, I just enjoyed writing a character that was fun to piss off.
I’ve talked about Jeanette and Therese with a lot of people, but never publicly, so here goes. First of all, Jeanette and Therese’s origin is loosely inspired by an ex-girlfriend, and true to the source, there is only one physical being. While the inspiration didn’t suffer from the same affliction, Therese has Multiple Personality Disorder (currently called Dissociative Identity Disorder, I believe), and I studied cases to make sure she was portrayed somewhat accurately. Several people have figured this out from the dialogue, but what it boils down to is, Therese was isolated and sexually abused from a very young age. To deal with this trauma and her seclusion, she developed a “sister”. Later, she would use the Jeanette personality to behave in a manner not fitting the obedient daughter side that was Therese. After the murder of her father, she was institutionalized. Therese was already suffering from the disorder when she was embraced, but with the Malk blood, the Jeanette personality is so fully developed and so intertwined with Therese’s psyche that neither can be considered the dominant personality, and the Jeanette side is no less real than Therese, and neither realizes that the other exists within the same body.
There is a lot of debate in the psychological world about the reality of this disorder and its portrayal in popular culture, but in a world full of vampires, it’s not open for debate.
In my headcanon she was cracked well before being sired. An incest trauma made her personality split into the nun/whore counterparts. Jeannette is the denied part of her who enjoyed the incest, Therese is the rejection and disgust towards it all.
One thing for sure: there would be no such nuanced writing and characters in Bloodlines 2It was Therese who consented to her father's advances and she blew her top (and her father's) when he fucked Jeanette too.
