A great RPG but...
Vampire: The masquerade - Bloodlines is a great game with fantasticly written dialogues. V:TM-B is the last game ever made by Troika Games, a game studio more known for Arcanum and being the precursors to the creator of the fallour series. Arcanum being the well known predecessor says a lot, it's a great game too but the combat is poor. Regarding the dialogues, these are some of the best I have seen in a video game. All of this accompanied by a fantastic voice acting and early but good technologies of facial animations. The dialogues, if you spend skill points into it, can open many options and favors for yourself. With it, you can avoid fights altogether, get more money, and more or less have more options to get what you want. There are entire clans which skill sets are centered around speaking well to the crowd. For combat, you pass onto third person (unless you wield a gun) and start fighting. For the most part, the combat is actually fine, that is especially for dealing with humans and various vampires. HOWEVER, the boss fights are actually terrible from what I have experienced. Your only reliable option being rifles, which for a game that is about choice, is kind of ironic. If you play a faction that is centered around using your blood wielding abilities for damages, you are not going to have a fun time with these. Besides the combat, it still takes some of the best elements of other games, be it deus ex or thief or other immersive sims/RPG that succeeded in the past. The arching story of the main quest is also good and forces to make a choice for yourself with high stakes. But remember, the jyhad is a game of chess. Choose to be a pawn and you will be sacrificed to protect the king.
