The repacks won’t be that way.
Classic Paradox though isn't it. Drip feed in DLC over the span of about 6 years and by year 7 the game doesn't even play the same as it did when released.
Day 1 DLC is an automatic boycott for me
including the sexy one
Malkavians are DLC-only? Dross.
I kind of feared this would be a shitfest.
Reminder that, even with these, there are still 8 less clans than the tabletop.
And one less than the original game from 2004, for that matter.

Goddammit of course Lasombra would be DLC. The only clan I ever played, with Gothic Spanish drip and those sick ass Obtenebration powers. I ripped a werewolf apart with em once in tabletop.
:unhappy growling noises:
I once ripped a vampire apart as a Fianna philodox in a werewolf larp
:happy growling noises
To be fair, though, I feel like that's how the fight should play out lol. Werewolves are (or were, this was original WoD) really good at killing vampires. I got lucky lol
Oh absolutely, I bet that was a really awesome scene that you got to enjoy thoroughly
Idk WoD campaigns usually operate on story telling principles instead of dice rolling.
You ripped that werewold in half because it'd be fucking cool, not because the dice decided <3
Very true <3
This game was a write off from the very start. Paradox genuinely hates the WoD brand and they are deliberately trying to kill it.
Can't wait to play it a year later, on sale, with all DLC included.
Paradox Games knows your tricks and shall simply never stop releasing DLC
If you check out the trailers released on the World of Darkness channel. The vast majority of the comments are pissed off.

I'm just surprised there are even different clans to play as. Seems like this series has been pivoting away from that for a while
It did?
yeah, the last couple games were interactive novels with 3 clans each being a storyline. there was a newer one that seemed to remove the clan system all together for you to just pick powers from a tree but they're overall more of a world building feature now
Weren't they just sort of visual novels and from another team?
yes. well, all but... two? and the two that weren't didn't use clans as game mechanics either. one was a battle royal. but yeah Troika eventually dissolved and the devs went to other studios like Obsidian.
so there really haven't been other games like bloodlines
