You know what is very good? Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines :D
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

Hi. Hello. Hey.
I want to vote for Shadowrun Returns.
Had this game since many years ago and started playing it, but for whatever reason didn't finish it.

Probably because it's not very good. I still enjoyed it at the time but it became really obvious after I played the sequels.
The first game was designed as a mobile game, I had it on my phone.
The other two are better, but I liked Hong Kong more than Dragonfall, Dragonfall seems to be the better liked of the two tho.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

[Toreadors] main drawing point, the blood sorcery, is undercooked in the game
Tremere are the sorcerers, Toreadors are the *******.

They're my favorite Clan too, but Bloodlines 1 does a horrible job with them. They are overpowered and turn the game into a joke, but their main drawing point, the blood sorcery, is undercooked in the game (then again, so are most things in Bloodlines).
You're confusing them with the Tremere. Or was that a joke?

I tried Ventrue for the first time I played but didn't like the weird guido aesthetic the character had and quit.

Better than HK, but of course Dragonfall > Returns > HK

I thought Dragonfall had a better story, but Hong Kong had a better game system.

I remember thinking that the F-State was exactly as I imagined it when I first played Dragonfall.

HK is the only one I couldn't even finish. Can't remember anymore what turned me off, probably some loot shenanigans or way too much bs text

(Two Worlds is not winning)
Then this poll is useless. Two Worlds is incredible.
Any thoughts on Kobold Adventure? Should I add it to the poll?
Where do you find this ****?

Furthermore, why do you go looking for it?

For a brief moment, I thought it was a benign game after clicking the link. No such luck. Low-level adventurers are doing the world a favor.

Let's see what it will be this time. Hopefully either DA:O, VTM:B or SS2.
Didn't finish VTM:B yet, stopped in the Asylum. Played it a bit boringly as Ventrue. If it wins, then it will be Malkavian this time. With their weird dialogue choices.

So be it! VTMB has my vote.

From what I've read the GOG release of it comes pre-patched with some 3rd party fixes so hopefully it'll be easy to run.

I think it uses an outdated version of the unofficial patch. We'll have to make sure the OP explains which patch to use. There's the "unofficial plus patch" that adds a bunch of ******** bloat into the game.

Vampires are cool, like guns and uniforms. :goldfish:
I've already played through it once, with a Tremere character. The ending was pretty naff but there's some decent RPG fun there.

I had to flip a coin between Mars: War Logs, Of Orcs and Men, and Two Worlds. The OP encouraged to vote for games we haven't played.
I enjoyed Technomancer despite all its jank (or maybe because of it) and would like to check out the original game. I've heard good things about Of Orcs and Men and Two Worlds was talked up in several threads on here.
