There will be blood. Delicious blood.



<span class="bold">Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™</span>, the timeless RPG masterpiece that has sucked many a gamer's time, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Intoxicating. Macabre. Vital. These are both traits of blood and of Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™, the RPG that forever changed expectations on how the creatures of the night should be depicted in videogames. Was it the ridiculous replayability? The versatility of our vampiric abilities? The gripping visual and sound design? Perhaps the memorable NPCs and stellar writing. One thing is for certain: much like the daunting Antediluvians, this is a game whose allure only grows stronger with time. No point in resisting it any longer.



Sink your teeth into the definitive bloodsucking experience that is <span class="bold">Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Note: This version includes third-party technical fixes, courtesy of Wesp5. The full unofficial patch, which also includes additional content, can be found over at <span class="bold">Patches Scrolls</span>.

Want to watch some entrancing nightly exsanguinations? Join Memoriesin8Bit as he launches a series of Bloodlines streams on <span class="bold">twitch.tv/gogcom</span>, starting Monday, 6 PM UTC.

JudasIscariot: Don't know then. Installer works for me as it always does: progress bar moves to a certain point and and then it finishes :) Nvidia 364.19 drivers and all :)

Try a non-PoL version perhaps? :)

Skysect: I have a curiosity about it , if Wesp5 release a new version of UP , GOG will update main installers ? :D
Well, yes.

NuffCatnip: This has probably been asked a couple dozen times already, but is the "complete" unofficial patch installed (it says unofficail patch basic in the menu) or do I have to overwrite the files with the ones from patches-scrolls.de ?
It's the BASIC "just the fixes" patch. For additional content, please visit patches-scrolls :)

NuffCatnip: Ah, thanks a bunch!

The only question left is Malkavian or Nosferatu (or Gangrel) for the "first" playthrough, hmmm....
Nosferatu is definitely hard mode and Malkavian should be savored and, thus, saved for later :)

If you never played the game before, go with Gangrel. The Malkavian has unique dialogue which is very confusing if you don't know the story or characters, and the Nosferatu plays very differently than all other clans because you have to stick to the sewers for the entire game (or until you get Obfuscate high enough) and you can't blend in with humans as easily as the other clans. YMMV, of course, but this is what I would recommend for a new player. :)

Go Toreador if you want a chatty cathy character, Ventrue if you are a true patrician :D

NuffCatnip: Yeah they are definitely the hardest clan, plus I never finished my Nosferatu character because at some point I was really starting to miss interaction with other characters. :)

Malkavian is my favourite clan, but as you said I think I´ll save them for later (my last playthrough was quite some time ago, I´d be choosing "wrong" answers all the time)

NuffCatnip: Yeah, I agree. My last playthrough was quite some time ago and choosing "wrong" answers with a Malkavian is pretty easy.
Yeah, Nosferatu play very different from the rest, I think I´ll go with a melee Gangrel to get back into the game. :)

NuffCatnip: Aren´t those the snooty guys? I don´t remember. :)
Toreador = hedonist artsy fartsy types.

Ventrue = bluebloods, snooty, very rich

Toreador are the "artsy" clan and Ventrue are the "business-y" clan, if you go by stereotypes. :D Personally, my favourite will always be Tremere, because they are the "mage-y" clan, and Thaumaturgy is just my favourite discipline in the P&P version of the game. In Bloodlines it's even more powerful, as if that was necessary...

j0ekerr: Every Tremere I knew either go Lure of Flames or Path of Blood.

The larping got messy.
Well, the standard path for Tremere is the Path of Blood; it's the most common one in the clan and the one that is most likely to be the primary path for the average Tremere (some STs even forbid taking a different primary path, YMMV). Ironically, I'm currently playing a Tremere in a P&P group who has Path of Blood and Lure of Flames...
(I'm definitely having fun. Our two Brujah players, not so much - I still await the day they fail their frenzy checks. It will probably happen sooner rather than later. :D)

Smannesman: So they didn't even do that themselves?

shmerl: I don't think so. GOG credit Wesp5 in the announcement.
Actually, we already had a version of the game where all you would have is the original executable without Wesp's patch in case a) we couldn't come to an agreement with Wesp5 and patches-scrolls and b) we wanted to have the original version in case people wanted to use other mods that may have been incompatible with Wesp5's patch.

shmerl: I see. But now you only have one after Wesp5's patching, right?
All vanilla files are in the build as well if someone needs them.

0Grapher: Is that supposed to mean that Thiev is superior to GOG's Thievin' Bastard?
No...just kicks really hard in the ol' shins :P
