    It’s almost certainly going to be complete shit (if you are looking for a roleplaying game with strong world building and well written characters).

    A mediocre action-RPG with a VTM theme. And Paradox are going to release a whole bunch of pricey DLCs while abandoning the core game and ignoring critical bugs.

    I used to buy Paradox games 10+ years ago, by this point they are a European EA.

      I wanted to push back on that. I know they do that with their strategy games, but to do it with story-driven games too? “That’s far-fetched,” I thought. But no, you were spot on: There’s day 1DLC, two clans are behind a pay wall.

        I would have held my nose with the Day1 DLC if the game was good, but nah, they transformed it into an action RPG.

        It’s really too bad that Paradox was the company that got the VTMB license.

          From what I can tell, Paradox bought White Wolf and is actually licensing the publication rights for the TTRPG to another company now.

          Which means I’ll probably never see a Werewolf or Changeling game.
