FiringSquad has posted some quick impressions of Troika's Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines based on an Activision Pre-E3 event. Here's a snip:Like any Troika game, Bloodlines seems to offer the player enough freedom and rope to hang himself with. You're permitted to make gimp characters, to make the wrong choices and of course to pay the consequences. There are factions to align with, stay faithful to or betray as you will. Depending on your clan and abilities, in some situations you can talk your way past a fight, or to sneak past, or to go charging right through like a typical Brujah. Depending on some of these choices, the ending of the game will adjust itself to reflect what the player has done along the way. What quests you choose to do, which ones you succeed in or which you fail, can have consequences for the endgame. |
