Contents.Gameplay Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is presented mainly from the perspective, alternating to for contextual activities such as specific attacks. Before the game begins, players create a vampire, and can select a character background that informs who they were as a human, such as a barista (the default background, with no bonuses), career criminal, coroner, or a police officer, with each offering different dialog and interaction options with the game world.
The player character's pronouns are chosen independently from their selected body type.After starting the game, the thinblood must choose from one of three upgradable Disciplines (vampiric powers): Chiropteran (the ability to glide and summon bats), Mentalism (the ability to levitate objects and people), and Nebulation (the ability to summon mist to attack, conceal the character, or transform into mist to move through small spaces). The thinblood can eventually join one of five Full-blood clans, after which they have access to its specific Disciplines and upgrades in addition to their original thinblood Disciplines. Although some powers overlap clans, no two clans share the same combination of Disciplines. The Brujah clan can enhance their physical strength for high damage (Potency), and their speed (Celerity); the Tremere can use blood magic combatively (Thaumaturgy) or enhance their senses (Auspex); the Toreador also possess Celerity, and can command the adoration and devotion of others (Presence); the Ventrue can deflect or absorb attacks (Fortitude), and can control the will of others (Dominate); and the Malkavians also use Auspex, and can debilitate their victims' minds (Dementation). Further clans are planned for inclusion post-release.The player can engage in side missions away from the main story, some of which can be discovered through exploration. The player possesses a mobile phone and can text non-player characters to obtain information leading to other missions. Enemies and opposing forces can be dealt with violently, avoided through stealth or even seduced with sufficient abilities.
Additionally there are multiple factions in the game with whom the player can ally themselves. They can join multiple factions simultaneously, remaining loyal or working against them from within, and some factions will refuse to work the player depending on their actions.Blood is necessary for survival and the player can feed on living beings, taking some or all of their blood; blood can also be obtained from rats and blood bags. Heightened vampiric senses can be used to sense Resonances in the blood of human victims, indicating their current emotional state, such as fear, desire, pain, anger, or joy. Feeding on specific Resonances grants temporary enhancements to the player, for example increasing their melee strength or seduction ability. Repeatedly feeding on a particular Resonance can grant permanent enhancements called Merits.Players are penalized for using certain vampiric abilities in front of witnesses; exposing their existence eventually alerts the police.
Repeatedly violating the masquerade results in human civilians choosing to avoid the streets entirely, and the player being hunted by other vampires. The player has humanity points, representing the vampire's humanity. Some actions cost humanity points such as killing innocents. A lower humanity score brings the player closer to becoming a mindless beast. Synopsis Setting Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 takes place in 21st-century, during the Christmas season. Set in the, the game depicts a world in which vampires, demons, and other creatures shape human history.
The vampires are bound by a code to maintain their secrecy (forbidding the use of vampiric abilities in front of humans) and avoid unnecessary killing (to preserve the vampire's last shreds of humanity). The vampires are divided into seven clans of the, the vampire government, with distinctive traits and abilities. The Toreadors are the closest to humanity, with a passion for culture; the Ventrue are noble, powerful leaders; the Brujah are idealists who excel at fighting; the Malkavians are cursed with insanity, or blessed with insight; the Gangrel are loners, in sync with their animalistic nature; the secretive, untrustworthy Tremere wield blood magic; and the monstrous Nosferatu are condemned to a life in the shadows to avoid humanity. The clans are loosely united by their belief in the Camarilla's goals and opposition to the Sabbat: vampires who revel in their nature, embracing the beast within.
The Anarchs are a faction of idealistic vampires opposed to the Camarilla's political structure, believing that power should be shared by all vampires.The main character of Bloodlines 2, whom the player controls, is a fledgling thinblood vampire, transformed at the start of the game during a mass attack of humans by rogue vampires. The thinbloods are a modern, weaker strain of vampires who are typically shunned and treated as lesser than Full-blood vampires. Unlike Full-bloods, thinbloods can consume human food (albeit in limited amounts), and are more resistant to sunlight. As Seattle has only relatively recently fallen under control of the Camarilla, vampires there are more tolerant of thinbloods. Plot The player character is one of a number of humans turned into vampires during a Mass Embrace, an incident in which rogue vampires publicly attacked humans, breaking the Masquerade and causing discord between the city's vampire groups. Development Background The 2004 release of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines had been a relative failure, selling fewer than 100,000 copies when it was launched in competition against sequels in,.
Bloodlines was the last in a line of games developed by that was critically well received but marred by technical issues and low sales, and Troika was shuttered shortly after its release, preventing them from developing a sequel. In 2004, then-director said that although the team would like to pursue a Bloodlines sequel, the decision belonged to then-publisher. Before their closure, Troika had begun development of a workable prototype based on another of White Wolf's tabletop role-playing games, set in the same universe as Vampire: The Masquerade. In the years following Bloodlines 's release, the game became considered a, receiving over a decade of development by fans to fix technical issues and restore cut or incomplete content.Video game publisher purchased White Wolf in October 2015, obtaining the rights to Bloodlines. Following the purchase, Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester confirmed that a sequel was possible, stating 'when the time is right I guess a sequel will find its place in the market.'
Production Shortly after Paradox Interactive's acquisition of White Wolf, Seattle-based developer ' creative director Ka'ai Cluney convinced co-founder Andy Kipling to pitch a Bloodlines sequel to Paradox, while Cluney made contact with Bloodlines writer. A meeting was arranged soon after, and Mitsoda joined the sequel as narrative lead, bringing in to serve as senior writer, and game designer as a writer.
Bloodlines composer also returned for the sequel as the main composer. Producer Christian Schlutter said: 'When we as Paradox acquired the IP, we saw Bloodlines as the crown jewel. Then Hardsuit Labs come along and have the perfect pitch, with the original writer on-board too.
It all happened far faster than we expected.' The project's internal code name was 'Project Frasier' (a reference to the Seattle-based ).Ellison described that the story and in-game factions were influenced by the conflicts over Seattle's modern identity, between its traditional music and culture and the modern developments brought by large corporations. Mitsoda said 'There's this idea of how much Seattle can change before it's no longer Seattle.
So we made the factions aspects of the old and the new.' Ellison said that they wanted to move away from what she considered to be the 'male power fantasy' of Bloodlines to give it a broader appeal. They also wanted to use the mass embrace to explore the transition from being human to becoming a vampire and how people from different backgrounds react to their transformation, such as still having family members they have to leave behind.The game provides the opportunity for the player to make decisions on how their character is played, but Schlutter described these options as 'your preferred flavor of evilness,' saying that the player is not a hero as vampires are parasites that feed on humanity. Mitsoda noted that they had to modernize the tone for contemporary audiences, but that it would still reflect the original's combination of noir, personal drama, political intrigue, and humor.The Malkavians, a popular clan from the previous game, return in Bloodlines 2. The clan is cursed with insanity which grants them knowledge of future or unseen events and secrets though not necessarily with the context to understand such knowledge, allowing their dialog to reference events in the previous game before they happened. Like in the previous game, Malkavian dialog was written late in production, as Mitsoda said that the script needs to be complete before it can be rewritten for the Malkavian perspective.
Due their popularity, the Malkavians were always planned to be present in Bloodlines 2, but their mental ailments are represented with less comical effect to reflect changes to real-world societal perspectives on the subject. Mitsoda said that they aimed to show the 'darker aspect' of sharing a network of insight and paranoia.
Research was done in medical papers and real world sufferers of mental ailments to more fairly represent mental illness.While the player character is partially resistant to sunlight, the developers opted to have the game take place exclusively at night. They experimented with implementing a day and night cycle with sunlight serving as an obstacle, but found it difficult to make the experience fun.
Mitsoda said that combat was a main focus that they wished to improve over the previous game, describing it as 'not very good'.Translating the tabletop game to a video game was described as a delicate balance. The developers used the 'Investigation' skill in the first Bloodlines as an example, an ability which highlights certain objects in the environment, but that rarely had opportunity for use, and meant that players with and without the skill had a similar experience. The developers' goal was to make the individual skills and abilities matter more in Bloodlines 2 so they did not feel like wasted choices. As the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop game's fifth edition was in development alongside Bloodlines 2, some of Hardsuit Labs' ideas were adopted into the board game, including the concept of Resonances serving to provide enhancements. Release Bloodlines 2 was first teased in February 2019 with the release of dating app 'Tender', created by Paradox.
The app offered to use a 'soulmate algorithm' and asks for the user's blood type before offering to match them with sick people nearby. A livestream, and later Paradox's own official Twitter account also displayed a memo from fictional Tender CEO Malcolm Chandler noting the need to be prepared for March 21, 2019 in San Francisco, the date the game was publicly revealed.The game is planned for release in March 2020 for,. Three different pre-order versions have been made available: Standard, Unsanctioned, and Blood Moon, which will include two story-based packs, and the werewolf-themed 'Season of the Wolf'.
Additionally, pre-orders of the Unsanctioned version or above include in-game items referencing Bloodlines characters such as Jeannette Voerman and Damsel. References. Lane, Rick (May 1, 2019).
