Just pick your monitor’s resolution ratio, and the mod will do the rest once you click install. This handy little tool will let you play the game in a resolution better than 1280×1024. Both of these are included in all the overhaul mods and they can be found in the “extras” folder in your VtMB install directory.ġ. Run the Widescreen patcher. Once you have picked one of the above overhaul choices, you can add a couple of additional mods to make the game look slightly better. It’s more of an alternate version of the game than an enhanced version. I don’t recommend that you choose this one unless you have already very familiar with VtMB. You can read the full list of changes here. It completely replaces all of the existing clans with new ones, has a new combat system, changes the Masquerade Violation System, changes all of the licensed music, replaces a lot of textures, enhances and changes some quests, adds new NPCs, and tweaks some of the gameplay mechanics. Install this with the Camarillia Edition and Arsenal Mod options selected.ĭ: The The Final Nights mod. The installer lets you choose to install other compatible mods as well, including the “plus” option of the Unofficial Patch and The Camarilla Edition. All of these changes are based on existing World of Darkness lore. This adds 12 brand new quests to the game (one for each clan, two for evil players, and three others), an achievement system, tons of new dialog, new cutscenes, and new NPCs. If you want a little bit of tweaking without straying too far from the vanilla VtMB, then this is a good choice.Ĭ: Clan Quest. This is based on the Unofficial Patch, so it includes all of those changes as well. Here is the manual that contains all of the changes. There are also changes to character histories, the seduction skill, the stamina skill, and clan weaknesses. What’s more, feeding will no longer give you a health boost, meaning you have to just wait for your bloodpool to restore your health.
You’ll also start to die if your bloodpool drops too low. This makes your bloodpool drain slowly over time as well, which means you’ll have to do more hunting and feeding. In the vanilla game, your bloodpool never drains on its own - you have to cast spells or be injured before you need to feed. This one is a good choice if you just want to play the game as close to vanilla as possible while at the same time avoiding major bugs and flaws.ī: The Camarilla Edition. I prefer the “basic” option, but the “plus” version is good too. There is a plus version of this patch you can choose from the installer, which restores the most unfinished content and it has some controversial bug fixes. This fixes a crazy amount of bugs and restores some content that was left out of the original game. You can only download and install one of these, and you’ll have to start a new game in order to get all of the new features.Ī: The Unofficial Patch version 7.9. I usually try and play things as close as I can to the original, but if you have already played VtMB a few times, you will probably really enjoy some different content. There are few major ways you can mod VtMB, and which one you choose depends on how much you want to change the core game.
What you need: Vampire the Masquerade – Bloodlines These poor sales were a large contributor to Activision shutting down Troika. They also made Arcanium of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, and The Temple of Elemental Evil.Īll of the writers on Bloodlines were replaced halfway through development. It is the third and last game made by Troika Games. They were both released on the same day: November 16, 2004. It was done before HL2, but Valve had it in the contract for Source that Bloodlines could not release first. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is one of the first two games to use Valve’s Source Engine. All of the characters are believable, your actions carry weight and affect the story, and the locations are both detailed and interesting.
Better yet, it lets you become a vampire. That said the game does an impressive job of immersing you into a world filled with vampires. It received mixed critical responses, was buggy as hell when it came out, and probably could have used at least another year of development time. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is one my favorite games of all time.
