Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines/Awesome: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

* The entire game is one for the player character. Basically, the hero is either a single night old or just a few months depending on how you measure time in the game (it's subjective). Yet, simultaneously, they manage to completely upend the Los Angeles political structure and transform the city across whatever lines they choose to do so.

* During the werewolf chase scene, {{spoiler|the player can lure the werewolf onto the observatory and kill it by crushing it to death with the doors.}} After the Lupine had been hyped up as pretty much invincible, it is really satisfying to do (and you can get extra experience from doing so as well).

 

 

* The entire game is {{spoiler|one long [[Xanatos Roulette]] by the last person you'd expect. Jack is behind a multiple stage plot to overthrow the Prince. Setting up a fake sarcophagus with C4, Jack manipulated both the Kueijin and La Croix factions into wiping each other out. It's so impressive that ''Cain himself decides to help him out.''}} Pretty amazing for a guy who looks like a drugged out Hell's Angel.

* When the player is attacked by the Sabbat during the tutorial, Jack shows that [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] by killing off the two Sabbat vampires. How does he get rid of the first one? He slashes the vampire's neck, stabs him in the back, and breaks the vampire's spine over his knees, right before activating his Potence discipline and sending the second Sabbat flying.

 

 

* Gets two in the game. The first one is when he rescues your PC after they are ambushed by the Sabbat and beaten up. Nines manages to intimidate three Sabbat not by his sheer badassery but by pointing out ''he has a grenade in his pocket.'' When one of them calls him on it, he one-shots him over his shoulder. The second [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] is when he apparently {{spoiler|rips a Lupine's head clean off.}}

** He keeps the Lupine's head ''on his bed.''

 

 

* The revelation of his true identity {{spoiler|as Caine, The Father of All Vampires.}} It says a lot about the character that this is the profession he's chosen.

** If you're a Malkavian character, there's a good chance that upon realising this {{spoiler|your character ''flips out'' and is reduced to screams and whimpers of "Oh god oh god oh god oh ''god!''". Caine lets you get it out of your system before continuing}}.

 

 

* The development team gets a big crowning moment of awesome for creating the game. Not just because it's one of the best role-playing games of all time but the fact that it also manages to make atmospheric the 2nd Edition world of ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]''. By that point, the sheer amount of silliness had seriously watered down the horror vibe of the game. However, everything was included in the game and didn't remotely detract from the horror.

** After the company got shut down, a number of developers stayed on to make the official patch. Just because they didn't want the game to have all the many glitches it had on launch. Talk about [[Doing It for the Art]].
