In fact, is there any other mainstream game that lets us pick our character’s pronouns or play a transgender character? I can’t really If they deliver on this promise, it’ll definitely feel like solid progress from the first game to the next. The developers have stated that they want to give players plenty of freedom in terms of gender, sex and more, including being able to play a transgender character and a variety of body types. However, I need to mention here that the sequel seems to be on track to fix this particular issue. This plays into the unfortunate trend of treating queer female relationships as fanservice. Of course, while men can’t generally seduce the male NPCs, most seduction options with female NPCs are available for female PCs as well. Men will regularly address our female character with terms like “honey”, “babygirl” or “chick”. Most options to seduce or engage in sexual behavior with NPCs are female if we have an opportunity to seduce men it’s for manipulative purposes. I hadn’t noticed it before because I wasn’t as aware of the ways in which it manifests and because I was playing male characters.Īfter playing it now, with more awareness of other experiences, and with a female character, it became obvious. First off… it’s painfully clear that the game is made with straight men in mind.
Let’s start with what didn’t work with the game, so I can focus on the positives later. Of course, some things have aged better than others and there’s room for improvement. It holds up remarkably well and there’s a reason people look forward to the sequel. Does it deserve it? After beating it again, I will say it does. The game was highly regarded in its time and well remembered today. It plunges us head-first into the byzantine and cruel world of vampire politics. What follows is a series of increasingly improbable and outright suicidal missions. It starts with our character becoming one of the Kindred, vampires who stalk the night. The game takes place in the bleak World of Darkness. Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines, a long and punctuation-heavy title, is slated to get a sequel. This time, I’m going to talk about a game that’s a bit more topical.
In the past, I’ve given you articles that spoke of old games that I remembered fondly.
