So far, I'm enjoying #VampireTheMasquerade #Bloodlines2
Are the controls a little ... iffy? Maybe? Or is that just because I've never played a game with wall running before and I'm not used to them?
Are the mechanics a little under-explained? Maybe ... or maybe I missed the notification which said "Hey, this discipline you're about you use? notice how it has three dots below it? you're going to need to have fed three more times before using it again"
Still enjoying it, although getting the different blood affinities is going to be a bit of a pain I can just tell.
Although it's only if you want to learn extra disciplines...
Seattle is feeling kinda small though, or maybe it's just the map which makes it look that way?
The map makes it feel like it's no bigger than Santa Monica in Bloodlines 1, but traversing it ... it does feel quite large.
so the 'these are your three side quest givers' thing is wearing a little thin now, also I'm not sure if I glitched out an "end the night" scene as everything seemed to reset as if I'd done a "back to haven to rest", without actually doing that ... which usually has a Fabian conversation upon waking, so I'm not sure if I (the player) has missed lore?
I'm still enjoying the story, and the way the threads are being weaved (although I'm not sure if what we do in the othertimes affects the now?)
Okay, so I'm slightly less annoyed by these after tonight's session, but that's only because the main quest involved a trip through a sewer ... it wouldn't be Bloodlines without a sewer section after all...
But as main quests go, that was a good distraction from the blood affinity harvesting and usual suspects side-quests.
And that's the end game begun...
As I'm going in to this without any spoilers I have no idea how long/hard/branching this may be, nor which, if any, of my choices / relationships will come in to play now.
Did I get all the collectable quest items, and discipline unlocks? No.
Do I have the ones I want? Absolutely.
All in all that's about 25 hours for the main campaign and enough side quests to have a usable build to get through the final boss fight.
It'd probably be considerably more to grind unlocking all outfits, and doing all the collectables.
Given that there's achievements for completing the game as different clans, I may do a collections run in the future.
But, I already finished as the best clan (that was playable)...
