I love playing Vampires the Masquerades. It is a damn awesome rpg filled with hot scenes, drinking blood and other sensual things which is damn fething awesome. It is possibly the best rpg of all time. Yes, it was not too popular and I do wish it could spawn a sequel but it won't happen ...

I do believe you want the RPG section mon chere http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/forums/show/24.page

There are quite a few fans of vampires the masquerades there.

There where two games as well Corpses, both cult hits, although the second was a bigger fan draw.

Oh really? How to they compare with the normal RPG variety?

I meant the video game variety but both are good.

Also a... *shudder* TV show.

My mistake.

I can't imagine the video games would be as good as the normal RPG to be honest, much like a DnD video game is always inferior to the actual game.

Redemption's Multiplayer was awesome if you had the right Storyteller to run it.

Pretty much, if you've played the P&P game for a good amount, the video games are pretty dissapointing IMO.

There's a video game about this?

I tought Vampire, the masquerade was a RPG?
*looks at MDS*

And i want to play it, but sadly no one rp's in my vicinity.

Once fans patched them, and made them more stable, really fun, I'll admit I'm a huge WoD fan, especially VtM and WtA, and I haven't played too far, however you had access to most Clans, the blood drinking, Stealth and combat mechanics where really well done.

From what I understand reading about the game on various sites, its got a very cool npc interaction throughout it. I've seen some put in on par with Planescape Torment. I agree not as amazing as the tabletop, but a damn fine attempt, and probably the main reason the MMO was picked to be set in VtM, not VtR.

@Theblitzkrieg, talking about the MMO, I assume you have seen the info about the WoD, which is basically VtM at launch with all seven Camarilla clans. However in case you haven't.

Here's the Clan annnounce.

It's not. Period.

Vampire was solid, though the combat heavily favored celerity to the point where everything else was nearly useless in comparison.

However, I'm still upset that Werewolf never made it to store shelves.

V:TM Bloodlines was the best FPS-RPG ever made bar none.


A pity the MMO won't let you play a dhampir...

Bloodlines, when properly patched/modded is a flipping awesome game. I loved getting celerity all the way up and dodging through streams of automatic gunfire. Plus the whole only getting xp for completing goals thing is my favorite way of setting up games, as it makes stealthy and charismatic characters as viable as combat. And, lets face it, the playthroughs as a Malk and a Nosferatu were awesome.

The game seemed practically MADE for you to play as a Malkavian...

My Toreador lasted some good 6 years.
Good times those

Cthulhu damn it, all this reminiscing has made me reinstall and do another playthrough. I wonder if anyone is still making mods ....

Aye, I'd have loved to try Heart of Gaia, I think the dev team imploaded or something, sad times.

I have a personal bias towards "ORLY?" moments, and I can only imagine that the capacity to turn into a giant wolf-man would fill that game with them.

The Game is a classic. I do not want an MMO I want a true sequel. As long as it is not done by Blizzard.

What, you don't want vampires with shoulder armor twice the size of their head? Weirdo.

Obligatory, but spoiled image for size..


I finished another playthrough not too long ago so I resisted the urge :p

Fantastic game that one, although Redemption was good as well. The Malkavian character dialogue was so awesomely written I think nothing can come close to it. And there's still so many ways to replay the game even after so many playthroughs..

Things aren't looking too good for the World of Darkness mmo though, the recent layoffs at CCP and redirection on EvE development means the game is on the backburner...which is a shame. I think if anyone could make a universe as big as WoD it's CCP..but I also think they've bitten more than they can chew.

I played through the majority of Bloodlines as one of the magic vampires (I forget what the clan name is, nobody I know actually plays V:tM and it's been a long while since I played Bloodlines). I remember it being so cheap just to stun enemies, then run up to them and feed on them to death. At later levels, I could basically run through an entire area without getting hurt.

I loved the OP-ness of them, but once I hit the monsters in the sewers (again, been a long while) the game's difficulty just ramped straight up. None of my powers were helpful anymore, and I hadn't bothered to actually invest in combat skills.

I think I might jump on the old bandwagon here and go play it again. Might give me something to do while I wait for Skyrim...

Tis awesome!
It captures the WoD nicely and the XP system is clever. There is also a sense of dark humour throughout the whole thing.

I'm actually in the middle of playing redemption at the minute which is interesting. Needed a bit of fiddling to make it work on Windows 7 but still good fun - just a bit dated.

I wouldn't mind an MMO as long as it's less combat oriented.

That's kinda hard to do in these days it seems though...

The problem is it won't feel like Vampire the Masquerades. It'll feel like a generic MMORPG.

... again, not if it's not combat oriented.

Melissia wrote:... again, not if it's not combat oriented.

I agree but it will probably be collect this, kill X number of Y and stuff like that.

That would be the easy way out, I agree.

But I'd hope more for a politics-based MMO, with princes as GM-run pcs, and primogen being player-run, and harsh infighting on who gets to be primogen.
