Junior Adventurer's Guild - June: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

[Oyster Sauce]

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Los Angeles always had a thriving night life but no one really knows what lurks behind the glittering lights and seedy nightclubs. While mortals live their normal lives, clans of vampires conspire and scheme to further their own mysterious goals. As a newly-sired vampire, you are put to trial by the Prince of the city for your sire’s wrongdoings. A lone voice spares you from the Final Death and you become a pawn in the Prince’s plans.

Traverse the dark world of modern-day Los Angeles in Troika’s swan song, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. Visit raves and explore the secret underground caverns of Downtown to seedy hotels and exclusive mansions on Hollywood’s infamous Sunset Strip. Embark on a variety of story-driven quests as you explore an open world filled with side missions, multiple paths, and strange denizens to interact with. Yours is a living world, even though you cease to be.

-Swear allegiance to one of seven unique clans, then use an array of vampiric disciplines, such as Dementation, Celerity, or Animalism, to achieve your goals.

-Superbly written dialogue with a unique feel and tone for each clan.

-Customize your Kindred the way you see fit, from the dialogue choices you make to the skills you improve.

Junior Adventurer's Guild

This is the Kidz Klub version of The Adventurer's Guild. The goal is to get people playing more recent classics, weird little charming RPGs, hidden gems, and ideally give people a fun chance to try games they haven't played before with their good friends at RPGHQ. I highly encourage voting for games you haven't played before! Maybe try a completely new build if it's a game you've already finished.
How exactly are the requirements for games here different than the main thread? IDK just look at the list above and go with the flow. They should be approachable for people who haven't grown up with real old school CRPGS, and if they have direct sequels we should generally play them in order.

You can’t vote on this poll. Reason: You haven’t posted in this topic.

I'm being oppressed

[rusty_shackleford]

@Oyster Sauce System Shock isn't an RPG, you might want to replace it with System Shock 2.

You play the role of the main character

[Boontaker]

Going to vote for two worlds, I couldn't get into it over Oblivion when I was younger. Is it actually a good game?

I had fun with it. Cool Two Worlds feature: enemies die permanently, but their ghosts rise up at night to **** with you.

[Acrux]

Any particular reason for Shadowrun Returns over Dragonfall or Hong Kong other than it's the first one?

Nope

[wndrbr]

I hope it's not DAO or Oblivion.

[logincrash]

(you have to post in this thread to vote)

Wasn't it the other way around last time?

[1998]

Can't even view the results without posting?
Nevermind. I can't read

[Element]

Maybe shadowrun

[Vergil]

Where is VTMB it got multiple votes in the first poll

[gerey]

Tough choice, plenty of games I'd like to play. I was really hoping Arx Fatalis was going to be a contender for this month, though I wouldn't mind Oblivion either, just that it would be a real ***** to finish in two months, let alone one, unless you were rushing your way to the endgame.

The options have been carefully curated to ensure a Two Worlds victory

[rusty_shackleford]

(Two Worlds is not winning)

It's definitely not winning. Guess I'll wait another month, AGAIN.

You need to campaign across the entire forum for votes

[Vergil]

I got done playing Two Worlds Two Months ago I don't care anymore. Enjoy Dragon Age!

You should really put VTMB back.

[bloodedhunter]

System shock 2 is fun. No idea why it has a 16 player co-op mode no one played for campaign.

[Oyster Sauce]

You should really put VTMB back.

VTMB is still in the list, I've just been capping it at 10 options so we don't have 20 games with 1-2 votes (we do anyway). I'll put it back just for you

Edit: OK that seems to have ****** up the poll, revote I guess

Vergil is such a diva that he manages to become a nuisance.

I always like Toreadors

[gerey]

I always like Toreadors

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).

[rusty_shackleford]

Gerey's coming out post

[Tweed]

(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?

[Silver]

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.

[WhiteShark]

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.
