Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Fun RPG and a really good time capsule for the early 2000s. The characters are fun to listen to and figuring out what kind of vampire you are is a great experience. Shame about the combat though. If you don't build your character for combat, you might hit a wall where you just lose DPS battles vs some bosses. I had to cheese some the bosses by having a obstacle between us so I could hit them and be safe from their attacks. But if you can get past that and want a decent first person RPG, I can recommend it on sale at least.

obra prima

The Game keeps crashing the moment you try to launch it... It's an old game.

Fantastic game. Like other reviewers have said, definitely unplayable without unofficial patch. Combat sucks but I played Tremere which kind of made it ez mode ngl. If you like older games or have a nostalgic side for this era of gaming this is a must try.

It's Bloodlines. It's a classic. It's an actual RPG. Easily one of the best games ever made. Would've been cool if we'd gotten a sequel but we didn't so I'm still playing it over 20 years later (that dumpsterfire Paradox allowed to happen doesn't count).

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is one of those rare RPGs where the world is just as memorable as the story you're following. From the moment you step into its streets, it feels like a place with its own culture, politics, and history, and you're simply another part of it. What has always stood out to me is the freedom it gives the player. Your clan, dialogue choices, and approach to each situation genuinely shape the experience. Problems can often be solved in multiple ways, and the game encourages you to think like the character you've created instead of pushing you toward a single solution. That flexibility makes every playthrough feel distinct. The writing is another reason it has remained so influential. The characters are memorable because they have clear motivations and personalities, not because they're larger than life. Conversations are consistently engaging, and the world reveals itself naturally through the people who inhabit it rather than through lengthy exposition. For all of its age and rough edges, Bloodlines still achieves something many modern RPGs struggle to capture. It creates the feeling that you're living in a world that exists independently of you. Exploration is rewarding, choices have weight, and the atmosphere carries the experience from beginning to end. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines isn't remembered because it's perfect. It's remembered because it has a clear creative vision and the confidence to follow it wherever it leads. Even years later, there are very few RPGs that offer an experience quite like it, and that's why I continue to recommend it.
