We would love to see player's roleplay their characters as they progress! We are going to enable player picture uploads when the mod is released. Here's going out to all you playing Oculus... But seriously we would be very interested to see the characters role-players create while using this mod. The only rule I will insist on is please do not upload any images of a distasteful nature i.e, nude character images and related material. Aihoshi, Richard (May 7, 2004).

Although common feats worked well, with a random chance of success or failure, uncommon ones would appear to fail more often. To avoid this, randomization was replaced by a degree of difficulty in accomplishing the feat. Although pen-and-paper falling damage is random, the computer game bases damage on the distance of the fall. The team's biggest challenge was adapting disciplines. The pen-and-paper version may require a little blood that requires a long time to use or have no blood cost and can be used at will; upgraded disciplines had additional requirements considered too confusing for a computer game. Troika attempted to equalize the disciplines, keeping the effect intact and normalizing the cost, so a first-level power requires one blood point, a second-level two points, and so on. [40] To balance the clans, the aristocratic Ventrue were only allowed to feed on noble blood, though this was changed to allow them to feed on lower-class humans, receiving less blood. [41] During character creation, the game had an optional character biography with unique positive and negative characteristics (increasing one ability while limiting another). [9] This was removed from the released game; Activision felt there was insufficient test time, and removing it was a more stable option. [42]

Vampires suffer recurring nightmares when sleeping. This is a subconscious manifestation of the beast. When fully fed, the player will have a 50% chance of experiencing one of these nightmares before waking. Each stage of hunger will increase the chance of a nightmare being experienced. The details of the nightmares will change with loss of humanity over time. In addition each bloodline will occasionally experience unique nightmares not experienced by others which also become slowly more twisted by humanity loss. Curiously, Vampires on the Path of Purity do not experience nightmares. If the player is mortal it can be risky having a vampire follower along for the ride. If the player sleeps while a vampire is in their service there is a small risk that the vampire companion may give in to their blood-lust, and take blood from the player in their sleep. If the player is bitten by their companion while sleeping they also risk infection. If the player was bitten a message will display and 20% health will be missing from the player's health bar on waking. David Mullich: The Interview". Tea Leaves. August 16, 2005.

[7] [26] [85] The scale and variety of choice and effect was highlighted by reviewers as Bloodlines ' greatest success, including the variety of clans, with specific dialog options, and the specific reactions from other characters, each with their own clan loyalty and bias. [5] [8] GameSpy called it a nearly flawless classic role-playing game; [7] The New York Times described it as brilliant but unfinished. [85] Eurogamer praised its "effortlessly intelligent" script, saying that "no other game has come close. Nothing's even tried". VideoGamer.com opined that at its best, Bloodlines stands among the greatest RPGs of the preceding five years, although its technical problems should be remembered. [5] [14] [83] According to HonestGamers, the game "may not be polished and may end with a sigh instead of a shout, but for its ambition alone it deserves stream after stream of compliments." [86] Reviewers compared it to other successful role-playing games, including Fallout, [11] Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, [13] The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate II, [11] and Deus Ex; [13] Eurogamer described Bloodlines as Deus Ex with vampires.

Since FEV is an institute virus, it is easy for one to speculate that they are responsible entirely for the existence of vampires, yet many vampires themselves will reject this idea, as the characteristics of vampires although varied, are too similar to that of vampires in mythology prior to the Great War. Some vampires speculate the Ambitiose Sanguine may know of the existence of Pure-Bloods but are keeping it a secret. Some have even speculated the Ambitiose Leader is a pure-blood himself yet none have ever proved this to be the case. Most vampires are certain that the vampiric institute FEV strains were created during experimentation with vampire vitae and somehow escaped the institute at some stage in history. The truth may never be known. a b c d e f Reed, Kristan (August 13, 2003). "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines". Eurogamer. Archived from the original on October 20, 2012 .
