The only response I can think for this is “that’s insane” which is ironic hey

Oh man :(

I had a playthrough where I did the opposite, playing the world’s most detestable Ventrue, and became LaCroix’s trusted toady. The game totally allowed for that also! And then (spoilers) blew me up for it. 10/10

This is true! I actually love the Malkavian playthrough and I was being a bit glib, haha. They do add some really cool stuff to recontextualise the narrative.

But it’s also a much lighter touch than people remember it being. Accomplishing this is kind of more skilful than the alternative?

Everyone talks about how the Malkavian playthrough is a whole different game, then you play it and it’s like 3 added lines of dialogue and 2 unique world events lol.

But then again the vast majority of narrative games play these tricks and Bloodlines clearly did it well to still be remembered!

Dwarf Fortress' classic "babies take control of those who carry them (like a rider controlling an animal mount) and perish of dehydration because they're babies that don't know how to pour drinks" bug is back:

This tweet is the most widely-read thing I will ever write

I’m not going to be impressed by Mr Gaunt’s web of manipulation, Steve, if it just boils down to effortlessly hypnotising everyone with his magic powers! It also doesn’t really say anything about the innate darkness of people’s souls or market forces or whatever!

The overall thematic intent seems to be that Americans will sell their little capitalist souls for trinkets and doodads, but the execution is so flimsy. The objects are magic and basically just turn people into Gollums, undermining the theme entirely.

“HAVE YOU MET ANY PEOPLE?! THEY’RE FUCKIN’ *WILD*!”

Well this is disappointing

I should clarify that when I say ‘proper’ medieval blacksmith I mean he used medieval techniques, neither he nor I actually time traveled

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is a game designed to provoke lots of player interaction and flip the power dynamic on its head. The writing is also very funny. Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/app/1839880/...
