How well does the Vampire: The Masquerade property fit this style, and to what extent do you feel Bloodlines fits the model of a "typical" Troika CRPG?

The Vampire: The Masquerade license is a great fit for Troika because of the deep, dark world White Wolf has created and the fact that the world is centered on and around a lot of political intrigue. As far as being a "typical" Troika RPG, I don't know if I would say that because we've shifted over to a first-person perspective with real time combat. I think it would be more accurate to call Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines a new-style Troika RPG.
