Vampires: The Masquerade Bloodlines ha ! didn't like it much the beginning was ok, however after some time, I felt like you were not a vampire but rather a wizard with pseudo blood powers moreso since as I remember it, age didn't affect you at all ... so overall I didn't like the "vampire fiction/backstory" it was built on ... |

I never got far in it. There was some point early on that I got completely stuck at. Maybe I'll give it another go. |

I liked Bloodlines a lot. Got damned hard near the end, though. Malkavian FTW. ;) Redemption is worth a shot, too. |

ha ! didn't like it much Well, a lot of vampire fiction includes hints that vampires had significant powers, and actually, only certain clans in the game had "blood powers." Brujah spent most of the time beating the crap out of people. As for age affecting you.... vampires are immortal? That's pretty standard in any vampire fiction. |

Brujah spent most of the time beating the crap out of people. As for age affecting you.... vampires are immortal? That's pretty standard in any vampire fiction. The difference I wanted to make between a wizard & a vampire was that a wizard will somehow need to "cast" a spell whereas a vampire powers are more like natural abilities not requiring much of anything except perhaps to focus ... of course some of their powers can be considered as spells, however others such as their unnatural speed / vision / hear should not have to be cast ... at least it should be instantaneous toggles draining your "strenght/blood" a bit more when you use them ... As for age affecting a vampire, I was not thinking about how a human grow old but rather how in most popular vampire fictions, vampires grow stronger, more resilient & get new abilities as they get older ho and I just remembered that the feeding was a too small part, and after very little time you could just feed from afar with a spell although this could make sense if you were a very old vampire or fed from one... |

Did you actually play this game? Everything you say wasn't there, was DEFINITELY there. It pretty much nailed it. |

I'll second Aquaria. Also, Castle of the Winds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_of_the_Winds Free Castle of the Winds download from the author here: http://www.exmsft.com/~ricks/castl11a.zip (it runs fine on any version of Windows) |

Because everything that you are saying is wrong with the game and should be fixed by doing such and such is exactly how it IS done in the game. Which is why i don't believe you played it at all. |
