Bloodlines 2 Vorbereitung: Review von Still Wakes the Deep & Siren’s Rest Nachdem eine fette Erkältung meine V:TES Pläne vernichtet hat, habe ich mich entschieden einmal das Spiel „Still Wakes the Deep“ und dessen Erweiterung durchzuspielen. Immerhin ist es d…

Meine Ansicht zu Still Wakes the Deep und dessen DLC Siren's Rest.
Hab die Spiele probiert da es die neusten Werke von The Chinese Room sind, die auch Bloodlines 2 machen.
Kurzfassung: Sie sind sehr nett, guter Horror, aber nicht so aussagekräftig.

Bloodlines 2: Vorbestellung, Preispolitik und Eindruck Am 19.08 ist die Vorbestellung für das Spiel Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 gestartet, welches zum 21. Oktober scheinen soll. Nachdem ich es geschafft habe, das was Paradox Interactive respe…

Ich habe einen längeren Artikel zu der Ankündigung von Bloodlines 2 verfasst.
Ich gehe auf den Termin ein, auf die Vorbestellung inklusive der imho unverschämten Preispolitik, und teile dann meinen Eindruck zu dem Spiel.

Banner of Bloodlines 2. Seattle with the Space Needle is in the background, Phyre in Brujah cloths is in the foreground.

Would you recommend #Bloodlines2 for preorder / in general?

I'd tend to no,. I can't get myself to see day-1-content-dlc positive and the general price is above e.g. Expedition 33.
Yet, if #BL2 flops that'll be it, no more DLC.

I'd like to hear other takes :)

I watched them :) I remember that both played Tremere, that weren't overthehill but as well not "doom & gloom".
It did stuck with me that they noted that the direction of the conversation is kinda or felt chosen, moreso than in BL1 (23:53).
They mentioned that dude aroused an NPC and she didn't.

Another concern of mine are the short description of what Phyre is gonna say.
Remembered me of "The Wolf Among Us" I had the choice to "glass him" to an NPC at a bar,... I thought it would be handing him a glass of beer or like toast him. Instead my char smashed his beer glass in the NPCs face @.@

The blog post about their dialogue treesystem has has me worried that it offered several options in adialog, but might not keep track of the choices across conversations and actions. Especially not considering what the system in games like BG3 look like.

There is no indication that "XY will remember this" doesn't go the TellTale game route.
Where it stuck with me when an NPC, I really wanted to live, got the marker directly followed by being shot dead. With no choice & the remembering not mattering at all.
(It was in the TWD series)

The influence system hasn't been shown?
The dialogues in the LP looked like those of Fallout 4 where you can phrase a sentiment in three different ways yet will get the same result. There is no indication that "XY will remember this" doesn't go the TellTale game route, where the most

About getting Bloodlines 2...
Did you attend #PDXcon 2019? If you got the goodie bag, it included a steam code inside for the game, it'll works
Did you do the "Blood Points" thing in ~2019, you might get one or both dlc for free (check mail).

Otherwise imho: don't preorder
#bloodlines2 #videogames

I haven't bought a lot of games, yet day-1 dlc that aren't just cosmetics aren't in the games I bought. Did I miss the games where those are in and what are those games?
(preferably newer than Mass Effect 3)

Did you play it? Because Witcher and Dragon Age had choices, a rather complex way to build out ones character and an open world which I something that I haven't seen in the bits of BL2 that were shown.

Wechselbalg: Der Traum – Jubiläumsausgabe auf Deutsch vorbestellbar! Seit dem 30. April kann man sich die Jubiläumsausgabe von Wechselbalg: Der Traum im Rahmen einer Vorbestellung des F-Shop sichern. Damit kann man nach Vampire: Die Maskerade, Werwolf: Die Apokalyps…

Die Jubiläumsausgabe von #Wechselbalg: Der Traum – Jubiläumsausgabe ist auf Deutsch bei Ulisses Spiele vorbestellbar!

Die Vorbestellung läuft zwar schon seit Anfang Mai, allerdings hat es dennoch eine Erwähnung im Blog verdient, finde ich.

3) Man kümmert sich um Fans #weltweit, auch außerhalb der US/UK
Ich habe die Hoffnung, dass das ganze Gerede darum die Fans mehr eingebunden werden, berücksichtigt das es Fangruppen außerhalb der aktuell adressierten Gruppen gibt.
Gerade für die Fans in Südamerika wäre mehr Zugänglichkeit cool.

2.) #Magus / #Mage 5E ist sehr wahrscheinlich
Zumindest in der Facebook und der Discord Nachricht wird Magus als eins der drei großen Spiele erwähnt, und selbst die Paradox Pressemeldung verkündet das man neue Spiele machen wird, Magus ist einfach dran.
Vielleicht wird es #Wraith?
Das wär wild.

Mein aktuelles Fazit ist:

1.) Renegade Games ist als #TTRPG Publisher raus
White Wolf wird das schreiben und veröffentlichen von neuen Büchern In-House vornehmen. Damit bleibt kein Raum für Renegade Games.
Was erklärt weshalb es bei der #RenegadeCon nur ein WoD Panel geben wird.

Paradox verkündet Rückkehr von White Wolf Paradox Interactive hat zwei Meldungen in Bezug auf die Entwicklung der World of Darkness Marke herausgegeben. Als erstes gab es eine Ankündigung auf dem offiziellen Discord-Server. Folgend präsent…

Ich habe die neusten WoD News von Paradox Interactive übersetzt. Es wurde verkündet, dass White Wolf wieder als Lizenzgeber und TTRPG Verleger für die WoD agieren wird:

I usually don't get that political, yet I had to write that of my chest. Please don't explode at me and please don't post pro-genocide stuff.

Imho Doctor Who reached an absolute lowpoint.
Way lower than anything I've seen in the newer Dr. Who shows.

At least Kablam only glorified and glossed over corporations instead of handling an active genocide like this.

Then we get the Rani-reveal, which I enjoyed because I like Mrs. Flood and found a reprieve from the thinly veiled blaming of Palestinians for their genocide.

Yet, for some reason Rani bi-regenerated and for a even stupider reason Mrs. Flood regenerated-away her character? TF? I liked her :(

There is as well no addressing the Hellion situation.
They are still discriminated against, they still won't be allowed on interstella-ESC, they will still be murked - as that guy doesn't seem that old. WTF?

Why didn't Belinda like mention the whole thing to the Doctor?

Then the Doctor proceeds to put the one guy on his "I will kill you"-list. Not only in a moment of rage or the moment afterwards, but permamently.

Where the viewer should ignore that "Kid" is named as is, because his parents got murked before his eyes before they could name him. So, as an infant?

Then it proceeds to portray two out of three standins for Palestinian people as remorseless massmurderes.

With the one "good one" assimiliating and being allowed to sing a song. Fully ignoring that the EBU would cut the live stream the second any artist dared to speak up. Like they do right now.

Usually I post positively about TV shows but the latest #DoctorWho vicerally upset me on just about every level.

Narratively it indulges in the absolute glorification of the European Songcontest. Which provides a plattform for a state in the act of committing a genocide to advertise itself.

Was denkt du über Mera25? Ist bisher der einzige dt. Politik-YT Kanal die konsequent Pro-Palestina sind und dabei nicht freidrehen wie (imho) das BSW.

Ich würde noch:
Democracy Now!
ergänzen. Als eine News Sendung die soweit legit rüber kommt.
Ebenso wie Bes D Marx, wobei er mehr so Essays macht.

Oh with those white horses I guess you were in Baden-Baden? Hope you had a nice time there too 😊

So today's tournament was the third, again I finished with zero VP, I played a #hecata toolbox.
Martin Weinmayer was again my predator, but now I actually had time to play. Some back bounced bleed on stealthy
did give him opportunity to oust me.
