What is Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2?


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is, technically, a sequel to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, a 2004 title that was itself an indirect sequel to Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption. It's a mixture of a first-person role-playing game with immersive sim elements. The story shifts from Santa Monica to Seattle, where your character and multiple others are turned into vampires in a highly-illegal "mass embrace."

As a vampire in the World of Darkness, you have to figure out your place and navigate a seedy underbelly while wielding vampiric powers. Every decision you make will matter and you cannot break the shadowy Masquerade, the veil that keeps the world and vampires and other night creatures hidden from humans.
