According to https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-03-22-vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2-is-a-darkly-fascinating-immersive-sim"There'll be full mod support out of the box - Paradox, ever a supporter of community, openly acknowledges the part the community played in keeping the original alive and restoring some of its grace."
I've read quite a bit of interviews about the game and it seems that they'll really try to ensure Seattle feels alive with people and they react to everything you do.I read somewhere that histories will also affect certain areas of the game - if you're a cop, going back to the police station as vampire will be different than if you're a barista.It seems that you'll be a thin blood in the beginning and there are a couple of theories of why you would be choosing a clan later: 1. You will perform something awesome and maybe get a reward to diablerize an enemy (maybe you can choose which one to diablerize). 2. You were embraced among other thin bloods and believed to be one, but are in fact not one. (not sure how this would work). Maybe you won't know what clan you are since you're on the run, but later your mentor will help you figure it out.It seems in the beginning you'll have the option to use one of 3 powers - telekinesis, glide or turning into mist (each will provide different use).There will be many side-quests that will be enriching the story and the world.You'll be performing your own investigations from a conspiracy theory board inside your apartment.Last but not least, the deluxe editions mention Smilling Jack, Jeanette outfits as well as other items such as stop sign. I hope that some of the old characters will make a return or we will be allowed to travel back to LA.It will be an absolute blast to go back to the exact same locations from the first game (where maybe even the ost can be familiar) and just revisit everything, with super upgraded graphics.P.S They also mentioned that more clans will be added as free DLCs. Initially we will probably start with 7 clans only.Only story expansions will be paid content.
Wow, the Steam discussions for this game are already absolutely cancerous, and it's barely been a day since the reveal. I really wish I hadn't looked them up. I admit, some of what was said during the keynote felt a bit much like lip service, even to me - but these reactions are just sad.Having said that, there's also this part of me that's perversely enjoying the fact that some people will never be able to enjoy the game, just because there's open-ended character creation and whatever else. Other than some of the indications that maybe they'll neuter the game a bit - which isn't going to be an issue anyway, because there's no way for us to know if they did, we'll only be able to comment on what was eventually included in the game - there's nothing I've heard about B2 yet that I'm worried about.It's really too good to be true, all of this. We're living in the best timeline.
Slavic? Where are you from?
Also it seems v5 edition basis confirmed.
Badass gif from GOG newsletter with BL2 Preorder link.
Yeah, I would have preferred if they did not go the V5 route. I am not that enthusiastic about changes done to various clans and factions.
Edit: Watched the , they might want to rename thin-bloods to thick bloods. Those powers are huge compared to Revised.
