I admit that when it was confirmed I was somewhat bummed out ,but after giving myself a calm down slap my memories of Vampire Bloodlines started to surface and I came to my senses.
I was madly in love with Vampire The Masquerade back then, and when I found out that the sequel was going to be an FP(s) I was absolutely enraged and offended
I was sure that the franchise was ruined.
Then It came out and when I sucked in (pun intended) the atmosphere of the dark wet gloomy streets of Santa Monica and experienced those incredible dialogues for the first time through the eyes of my character, I was 100% transformed.
I was no longer controlling puppets from a distance, I was actually a vampire.
It ended up being one of my favorite rpgs of all time.
Of course it would be awesome to see my character planted in this universe (CP), to see him\her react to the environment but now I'm just as exited to experience this world up close an personal.
