  Don’t get your hopes up. The Chinese room version looks to be a straight linear action game with stripped down to non-existent RPG elements

    This does not sound good. VTMB is not supposed to be linear, you want to explore a living world.

    I haven’t been following the release trailers or previous, just saw some concept art from both the first studio that failed and The Chinese Room.

    At least now I can manage my expectations.

      Is it just me or is the first game fairly linear?

        It’s no open world. But there are hubs, often there are multiple ways to finish a quest and there are quest lines that are limited by your skill and clans selection.

        But the main story quest is RATHER linear.

    Also like, the whole selling point initially for making a Bloodlines 2 was getting Brian Mitsoda back to write the script. But they’ve thrown it out to make their own story and it will be like BG3 in that sense - a sequel in name only but no actual connection to the original game(s).

    What’s your basis for believing that it’s going to be linear? Was there a leak or something?

      If you look at the gameplay (even if this real) you can tell it’s not going to be a sprawling RPG like the official)

    The Chinese Room invented the modern Walking Simulator genre so I have hoperectile dysfunction with them.

    I’m also quite disappointed at the change from playing a thinblood to an Elder kindred. I thought the idea of exploring thinblood lore could be really interesting and it would be much more interesting to roleplay someone who starts the game mostly human, compared to a completely inhuman monster right from the start.
