In all honasty... I probably played VtM:B anywhere from 8 to 13 years ago (yeah, that is a big difference in time, but my mind is fuzzy on when it actually was), and currently I don't remember much about it anymore. And actually... I don't think I finished the game either (when I played the game was roughly around the time where I started to finish less and less games, because I tended to spend so much time on playing them (but not following the story until I felt I was done with an area) that I played my self tired on the games befor I finished them... I have for example currently played Dragon Age: Origins for roughly 350+ hours since it came out (divided between two different play"throughs"), but I have yet to finish the game, in fact both of the times I played it I reached the same part of the game befor I stopped playing, that of having done everything that you can possibly do befor going to the Landsmeet, and I have currently not gone to the Landsmeet yet).
I know I liked VtM:B a lot... I just don't remember much of the story anymore, other then the rough aspects of the start of it... and most of the things I remember is the very early part of the game when your turned and allowed to live, the turorial, your apartment (or if it was a safehouse you where given in the first area, or what ever it was... the place with the TV), the area roughly around this place, parts of the beach, etc. The only one of the main'ish NPC's which I remember was the woman at one of the bars (The Asylum... which I figured out today).
The main thing I remember about the game though was the music... I could on occations stand around in one of the bars for hours, as I was doing somehting else outside of the computer, because I liked the songs played in that location.
Funny thing is that I today figured out that I have been remembering something compleatly wrong about the game. In particular it is connected to the music and a bar/nightclub in the game.
The songs which I remembered from the game is:
Chiasm - Isolated (not so fond of this one, but I remember it from the game),
Tiamat - Cain (my 2nd favorit song from the game),
Lacuna Coil - Swamped (3rd favorit song), and
Diary of Dreams - Blind In Darkness (my favorit song from the game).
First, I thought all of them where being played in the same bar/nightclub, a place which I thought was named "The Succubus Club"... turns out there is no such place in VtM:B... the place which I actually remember the look of is rather named "The Asylum" (as mentioned above), but only one song is played there,
Chiasm - Isolated, a song which I never really stood around listening to much at all.
Secondly, the place I was actually standing around in, listening to the music there, is known as the "Asp Hole", the place where
Tiamat - Cain and
Lacuna Coil - Swamped is played (2 of my favorit songs from the game as mentioned), and this is a place which I actually do not remember the look of or it's NPC's at all (I know I was there though, because the first time in my life that I heard the song Cain was in a bar in the game).
And third, my favorit song from the game,
Diary of Dreams - Blind In Darkness, is actually not in the game at all. The song
is connected to the Vampire the Masquarade IP, because it was released on a VtM releated CD back in 2000 (so 4 years befor VtM:B came out), just not related to the actual VtM:B game. In fact, the CD which the song was released on is essentially supposed to be a soundtrack for the PnP RPG/LARP game, and the name of this "soundtrack" is
"Music from the Succubus Club"... aaaand we come full circle. XD
What I think happend here is that a few years after I had played the game I decided to look around for the music for the game, and while I did find Tiamat and Lacuna Coils songs from the game, I also found this soundtrack of music for VtM and mistakenly thought it was connected to the VtM:B (I mean, who has ever heard of an official soundtrack ever being made for a PnP RPG/LARP befor? I have not... so it had to be for the game, atleast so I thought... XD )... and due to the fact that I never really remembered more then one bar/nightclub from the game, I mistakenly thought that it must have been named "The Succubus Club", because that was the name on this soundtrack after all... XD
