The beauty of it all, however, lies not on the mysterious McGuffin, but on how the local supernatural community is affected by it. The story itself isn't something special just a tale about a discovered sarcophagus, and the rumoured coming of vampire apocalypse that this will bring forth. In reality, though, it's actually closer to the original Fallout. Indeed, this seems like a smaller scale action-adventure akin to The Elder Scroll series. You'll explore a night-time LA, interact with a bunch of shady folk, do a couple of them quests, kill an enemy or two, and that will be all, correct? Yes, and no. interesting mechanics, yet, other than those, this is probably, nothing more than a typical, first/third-person RPG. Hiding your supernatural nature, however, is far more important, unless you like to attract those who hunt your kind. In gameplay terms, it will be easier for you to get into a brief, frenzied state, during which you will be unable to control your actions. These two, central themes at hand, are 'Humanity' and 'The Masquerade.'ĭrink your food-bag dry, or do evil deeds, and you'll lose Humanity, letting the 'Beast' come a little closer the surface. The setting of World of Darkness is not about cool vampire action, but about what it means to be a "monster," and why you should hide that fact from mortals. You can't just go around gulping your favourite juice, and doing your voodoo thing left and right, though. The fuel for all these things, of course, will be blood blood that you gather from willing or unwilling victims. Yup, it comes as no surprise that being "cursed" with vampirism lets you do all sorts of cool stuff - and its more than just being able to run faster, hit stronger, or take a beating and recover afterwards.Ī 'kindred' holds the power of Disciplines abilities or spells that can buff your innate skills, transform you into a ferocious beast, summon spectral predators, turn you invisible, create mass hallucinations, and many more.
You see, rather than just having vampires play the role of the enemy, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines lets you be such a creature of the night yourself.
One slightly more passionate love bite later, as well as a pretty rude awakening, and the protagonist will feel a strong urge to drink a few pints of blood. Glasses have been emptied, panties and bras are on the floor, and the playful couple that's doing all the smooching has even brought a pair of handcuffs to play with.
