Good but Infuriating Choice System

I'm about 9 hours in so far and whilst I really like the visuals, story and heavy use of dialogue in the game I have had to make several critical choices that affect individual characters as well as large areas of the game world. My issue with these choices is that the game presents them as short abbreviated options where you are effectively never 100% sure what your character is going to actually say. This has been common in many modern RPGs like Mass Effect, Fallout 4 and any other RPG that uses a dialogue wheel. For example as part of the main quest I am given the option to Spare, Charm or Embrace a character. I don't want to kill them so I am left with either Spare or Charm. Charm is highlighted in blue and along with the abbreviated text, indicates I am using my vampiric abilities to convince the character to forget about the problem I am trying to solve, so I choose this option. This actually ends up wiping the character's whole memory where they eventually die and the area they are in charge of falls in to dismay. The exact opposite of what I wanted to happen. I am not against unintended consequences, but I am strongly against not knowing what my immediate choices and dialogue options actually are. This type of modern dialogue / choice system infuriates me and unfortunately is quite common in modern RPGs.

Good but flawed

The good: I love the setting of a vampire story in 1918 London, at the collision between poverty, disease, war, privilege, faith and science. Looks good, the main character is personable, and the core gimmick - the ability to get more powerful by eating people you know best - is cool. The story is interesting until you get to the final act, which didn't resonate for me. Unfortunately, combat has some issues - every death feels cheap, as enemies can typically kill you in 2 or 3 hits while being able to take a lot more damage from you, so it always felt like the dodge button didn't work, rather than I made a mistake. While the intent is undoubtedly to persuade you eat some people to get XP, most of the abilities you could buy with it don't feel like they would make a difference to what killed you. Worse, after installing a Windows update, it started to take ridiculously long - 3-5 minutes - to load a save game, which made dying much more frustrating.

Poorly-optimized gossip sim

- still a stutter-y mess. Most of the map is streets and small plazas, so generally short draw-distances. But even then, just walking the streets will induce a brief stutter / hitch. - you'll spend most of your time talking w/ npcs. Fine in itself, but there's too much conversation here. - combat is a mess. If you DON'T lock on, you'll frequently find yourself slashing air. If you DO lock on, the game auto-targets based on where you point the camera with the mouse, frequently locking onto an enemy half-way across the plaza instead of the one in front of you. - there a a ton of vampire skills available, but only 4 can be equipped at any one time. - Vampyr hypes "you are responsible for your actions." If you DON'T drink the blood of citizens, you won't level up as quickly and you'll be under-leveled for the entire game (making the combat even more of a chore). If you DO drink the blood of citizens, you'll hurt the city district leading to its collapse. If you don't level up your health, you'll die in 1 or 2 hits from very early on. I spent $15 on this garbage during a sale and I feel ripped off. $5 is all Vampyr is worth - if you're prepared to deal with the frustration.

Don't waste your money

I have encountered two seperate game breaking bugs in my combined 5 hours of play. Two KNOWN gamebreaking bugs that the developers have desided to forgoe. Combine that with autosave only and it's not worth wasting your time on. Combat that works terribly on PC, it seemingly offers a lot of choice but very few of those choices have actual effects. Bad choices for the game such as requiring you to Sleep and fast forward time to upgrade can easily end up with story consequences and can destroy entire districts if you are not careful, combined with autosave only makes this game more tedious then enjoyable

Crashes

I want to like this game. It reminds me of a post-Victorian Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. I enjoy the game - when I can. It crashes incessantly. Looking it up across the net, many people have the same issue and it is apparently related to a flawed version of the Unreal engine.
