Fun fact: dancing at the bars for long enough gives you 1 humanity point

"Why did they decide to vampirize us? Are we that good in the sack?" Well, I've counted 13 condom wrappers in that room, so... probably

It's kind of crazy to me that Harley Quinn in every appearance since Arkham Asylum is a huge Jeanette Voerman ripoff, yet due to VTMB being relatively obscure almost nobody ever talks about this. We literally have the concept art with a picture of Jeanette saying, "Go with this look."

"Must be nice to have RPGs set in places you can actually visit." Oh man, do I know that feel.

"This _is_ the Source engine." followed immediately by a zombie flying into the roof at mach 3 and smashing into chunky jam after being shot with a .38 was just perfect.

"The sewers are clogged with my creations!" Andrei, I don't need to know about your bathroom adventures.

For some reason I have a soft spot for this naive goth urban fantasy aesthetics. In the mid-2000s everybody was making fun of teenage girls writing cringey Twilight fanfics or mall ninjas cosplaying Blade, and I never knew how desperately I would miss those times. Now I want to rewatch Underworld again, while listening to some darkwave band and sipping alcohol energy drink. Great review as always, it definitely was worth waiting!

Velvet is not exactly bugged, she does that because you made a hell of a mess, and killed Chastity with the utmost of aggressiveness. If you first lure away every one, including the strippers, then kill her quietly, then Velvet won't say that.

Fun fact in the wider Masquerade lore a banker defeated a high level vampire due to his faith in "credit" He brandished a credit card at him like a cross and it worked.

I really like VtM's take on true faith because it doesn't even need to be religious, just a completely unshakable belief in anything at all. The classic example is of a vampire being warded off by a yuppie brandishing his credit card due to having true faith in the power of money.

33:55 Worlockracy confirmed as having Brujah blood Probably usually replays VtmB as Tremere or Ventrue just to get back at his dad

While on the run from the FBI, Mitnick intercepted their radio traffic and, realizing they knew where he was and before fleeing his hideout, left a box of donuts and a note in the fridge of the place he was staying. Nothing terrible, something like "For the hard working officers of the FBI" or something to that effect. He's boring now.

While the game has quite a few plot holes... the thing about "I wish we didn't tell LaCroix things" and such, like with Nines being near mansion with the murdered Malkavian - do note that LaCroix is a Ventrue. And he quite abundantly uses Domination, both when issuing orders and when getting reports. That's also the explanation as to why you're so single-mindedly running around the town doing his bidding. You're weaker. Barely a fledgling. He is dominating you to keep you in check. Well, realistically cause game limitations, but good to have lore explanation. Moreover, in that specific point of history - LaCroix is actually fully aware of WHO killed the Malkavian leader, since it was all part of his plot. It was all a setup to get you to testify that Nines can be a traitor, hence his insistence to know "was there anyone else?" and use of Dominate to ensure you say it. The priest's arrival is a genuine unplanned surprise to him, which stumbles him for the moment. Also his use of Dominate to control your actions plays into the plot twist in the ending, where you finally grow strong enough (through your actions) to shake off his vampiric powers and act on your own. There are a lot of plot holes, as I said. But also a lot of nuance in the writing, Troika clearly studied their subject and were fans of the universe.

Fun fact btw: Andrei and Pischa's voice actors are married now. That would be a real power couple of amoral weirdos. They're also Major Kusunagi and Spike Spiegel for anyone wondering why they recognize them so easily.

The quality of the voice acting and face animations is one of my favorite aspects of this game. You might think both are excessive at first, but it gives each character such powerful feelings and truly cements the memories you have of them. On the few times that Lacroix loses his composure, he is a wonderful illustration of this.

God, this game and dark messiah of might & magic are these bizarre, ugly, spectacular unicorns. The sheer attention to detail and effort put into telling a massive story with this technology are probably the most impressive achievements I've ever seen in this industry.

A few bits of neat (or obscure) trivia. You're probably familiar with most of this, but if anyone's wondering. Kuei-Jin don't always rot in sunlight. They have two separate energy pools represented by a Yin and Yang on their character sheet. They only rot if their dark energy exceeds their light energy. Generally speaking, a Kuei-Jin wants to keep both pools in rough balance with each other, but this is nearly impossible from a practical standpoint. The more out of balance they are, the faster they'll rot. There's some other really interesting quirks with them. They're technically possessing spirits, in most cases the body they inhabit will have been their original form, however that isn't always the case, and it's entirely possible to play a Kuei-Jin in tabletop that is possessing a completely unfamiliar body. Bach is (marginally) supernatural, as he has points (probably 4 or 5 dots) in True Faith, which was something called a Numina. Numina were a kind of hedge magic open to (otherwise) non-supernatural characters. There was an entire mini-line of books grouped together as "Hunters Hunted," and later, "Year of the Hunter," which explored normal characters who hunted supernatural creatures. There was a lot of really neat stuff in the tabletop games regarding normal humans who started hunting monsters (not to be confused with the supernaturally imbued humans that started hunting monsters through the power of schizophrenia.) Interestingly, the original Hunters Hunted supplement included a vampire clan, The Children of Osiris, who could gain sunlight immunity through their clan discipline (granted, it took nine dots to access. And, yes, this IS on the same five dot system bloodlines uses. Characters with stats above five dots are exceptionally rare and, often, horrifically powerful.) Later editions would (basically) roll these guys over into Mummies. The hengeyokai is a wereshark. These are the same kind of supernatural creatures as the Werewolves (the collective term for these is the "Changing Breeds.) While Werewolves are a "common" variety of supernatural creature, Weresharks are exceptionally rare, with most of the sub-species wiped out during American Nuclear tests in the 50s and 60s. There's less than 100 surviving Weresharks who aren't affiliated with the eastern, Beast Courts. The term Hengeyokai is just a generic term for any shapeshifter affiliated with the Beast Courts. This was probably a rhetorical question, but, no, The Masquerade only applies to Vampires. Most of the World of Darkness's critters have reasons to keep quiet and out of sight. In the case of Werewolves (and to varying degrees the other Changing Breeds), their supernatural concealment is that they were so horrifying that normal humans would absolutely lose their shit, and suppress any memories of encountering one in full hybrid form. Other supernatural creatures are completely unaffected. Also, I'm really glad to see you're safe.

As a newcomer back in the day my first clan was Malkavian and it was honestly the best. The mental clicks I made on the lore during a second playthrough actually made the spoilers make sense because the first time around, you don't understand the spoilers. I legit thought my dude was *only* spouting nonsense and he was but when that nonsense starting making sense I started second guessing myself.

Man, the transitions between face frames are a bit harsh, but the emotions still come through so hard. 1) Valve's tech was good. 2) Someone worked hard on facial scripting of all the dialogues. This still beats like 90% of games today, especially if they're not fully face-mocapped.

The dialogue options for a malkavian playthrough strongly suggest the cab driver is in fact Cain himself, it’s very fascinating

Funny thing about the idea of needing the Masquerade or not. I mostly think of Mage, because Mage: The Awakenng is the same setting and all that as Vampire: The Masquerade and they cross over. In Mage it's quite literally set up where the collective beliefs of humanity determine reality. Something called "Pattern" which the Technocracy set up in ancient times to actually give permanence to the world instead of whatever local sorcerer god-king decided was reality on a whim. In that sense the Masquerade remains important. Because the fact that most humans in setting don't believe in vampires, magic, ghosts, etc, etc, etc, is what kind of keeps them from being everywhere and overpopulating the world and what not. Because these things are believed "Not to exist". So if they believed and accepted that Vampires existed, and magic existed, and so forth as the Masquerade tries to hide? Then you end up in a world where things like Physical Laws once again become "Whatever some local asshat with power thinks it is". It'd be a nightmare realm beyond imagining most likely. But that's not really relayed in the Vampire only lore.

"the anarchs released a powerful deconstruction of the camarilla power vertical, and then proceeded to do nothing at all," lol

The most insidious thing about the Heather plotline is the way the game has presented ghouls up to that point. You can learn about the existence of ghouls either from Knox or Mercurio, both of whom seem to be handling their condition pretty well (probably because they were high-functioning addicts already). It's not until you get to the downtown hub that you have a chance to meet characters like Patty who are not as fortunate. I suppose Vandal is a good example of a ghoul gone wrong in Santa Monica, but it's hard to tell if his insanity is a side effect of the Malk blood or if he was just born that way.

SPOILERS 25:40 You did not see THAT dog on the pier in Santa Monica. According to game files, that "dog" specifically was the Gangrel culprit of the pier murder (and all the others in that sidequest chain) checking on his handywork 58:20 Velvet/Chastity is not bugged. Since you aggroed Chastity during her show, there's a non zero chance she hurt some of her fellow dancers. Even if YOU did not hurt anyone else, if there's bloodshed during the mission it's considered failed. The proper way to complete it is to hack the ATM in the basement, so that the customer leaves the area and all the other dancers go to the backroom, leaving Chastity alone on the stage. Once she's alone you can kill her with ease without any side casualties.

Also note, Jeanette is such an iconic character that she was in fact the inspiration for the modern Harley Quinn design. Not to mention voiced by Grey Delisle (Azula) :]

Your point about whether or not the masquerade is even necessary is the ultimate plot of a major character from "The Night Road". I'm sure if you had a "keeping up with the toreador" type reality TV show ppl would end up just fine with the existence of vampires lol

55:26 Ash Rivers and the "Asp Hole" are references to the late actor River Phoenix (perhaps best known for playing a teenage Indiana Jones in the opening scenes of "The Last Crusade"), and the "Viper Room" (a Hollywood night club owned by Johnny Depp, where Phoenix lethally overdosed on a speedball). It's made even more explicit by Malkavian dialogue in which your characher refers to him as a "dead phoenix".

>the Nosferatu have to avoid being seen and navigate the quest hubs via the sewers I mean, the game TELLS you that but in reality, because the detection radius for non-hostile NPCs is so small you basically have to be halfway up their asshole for them to notice your presence. As long as you aren't the kind of player that likes to physically brush up against every NPC they meet, you'll never lose masquerade points.

>Starts getting back into VTMB and looking at mods >Less than a week later, Warlockracy releases a video on VTMB >Tightens Tinfoil hat

I'm sure you've seen this many times, but your video quality as well as presentation are something to behold. The quality far exceeds what's expected of a single person, yet, you deliver on time, everytime. I've gone through a lot, and I've watched a multitude of your videos multiple times. I'm just a drop in the bucket, but, for me? These videos send me to sleep, they ease long drives to work, they help after a rough day. I'm glad to say i subbed to you a while ago, but, considering everything, i don't see why you wouldn't be a major, mainstream player. Given your quality of videos, as well as quality of voiceover and ability to engage the viewers, i don't see why you won't be a mainstream player given enough time. Regardless, to me? An amazing, easy way to ease my long drives to work, to wade me to sleep. I'm glad your channel exists, and i hope you see this and that it encourages you to charge harder into this endeavor. A lot of us, regardless of what's going on don't know what to do, but, enjoy our time. And your what makes that time a fun thing to do. Have fun, friend. Glad to see you flourish

The German word for being embarrassed for another person is: "Fremdschämen" Greetings from Germany 🍻

I've subbed to a few creators on the strength of their Bloodlines or Morrowind retrospectives. I could have sworn you've covered this already so I'm extremely happy to see this. Perfect viewing for when my curry arrives. Thanks!

"Newcomers should play Malkavians EXCLUSIVELY" Unironically *YES* Look. I get that some people will say "Oh spoilers" and to that I say you can spoil yourself on any character just fine by talking to Rosa, Becket, Pisha, Jack, or half a dozen other people who give you sound advice. In fact, it's genuinely not ALWAYS a good idea to just randomly pick the schitzo options in your dialog, as that's a very fast way to make no friends and plenty of enemies. Malks off the bat are the most interesting blind playthough. There is no way to tell if the whispers in your ear is just pointless chatter, or foreshadowing, or UNRELIABLE foreshadowing, bad advice, good advice, or just silly jokes. You have zero idea if the dialog option you pick that is clearly a silly malkavianism will lead to a good outcome. Just because all the vampires know your crazy and you can't help BUT to be crazy, doesnt mean theyre all going to be ok with you being crazy. On top of that, Malkavians have a pretty ok set up for the game. Dementia is a very versatile tool, enabling fun combos with ranged, melee, and/or stealth builds, the lattermost of which the malks excell at given auspex and obfuscate are also in their wheelhouse. Malkavians are best for a first playthrough because theyre FUN. They are IMMEDIATELY fun. The only clan more beginner friendly is probably Torries, who get Celerity, Presence and Auspex so they can do a LOT of fun things, and due to humanity coming back at double the rate it normally does they help newbies stay in the safe-zone.

I liked the Warrens. Mainly because it was such a difficulty spike. Had to scavenge rats and figure out the preggo-fleshbeasts' patterns out to survive. As for the kuei-jin, I LOVE the malk responses where you straight up spook her the fuck out with what you know.

And as the saying goes: "Whenever someone mentions or talks about VTMB, someone will reinstall it." You just made me reinstall it yet again. Love your channel and thank you for reviewing one of my favourite rpgs. Glad to see you are still doing alright despite these troubling times and thank you again for the great content! Looking forward to seeing what this controversial game is. I always find the whole Heather situation creepy too but the fact you get the best armor in the game out of her makes me grudgingly keep her around

Great to see you persevere, despite world events. I'll be watching this as soon as I can make time.

There's also that pretty interesting serial killer sub quest that starts at the very beginning of the game but if I remember right you have to get pretty far before you can actually track the killer back down to Santa Monica.

1:07:37 - To answer your question, Gargoyles have an ability called Visceratika, something only they can do, allowing them a modicum of talent with changing their stone coloration and adapting their physiology to be tougher. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a storyteller contrivance at the same time, but I could see a Gargoyle adapting some stone-like adornments (in this case, Chinese armor) to hide itself in plain sight in city communities. And it could be implied that Strauss made it to spy on Abrams, or even assassinate him if he became more of a problem since it's clearly a combat-built Gargoyle.

To this day VTMB stands as my favorite World of darkness content. Even though the game is far from perfect. Combat is rough and the game starts coming apart towards the end. But that feeling of being a single player in a big, chaotic world the game accomplishes is great. As well as many characters like Beckett, Jeanette, Nines and more all being well developed. Honestly, it is so cool seeing how a community of people saw potential in this game and worked to make it the best it could be.

The Weapon guy in Chinatown is almost certainly a reference to that one Californian Senator who got popped for smuggling weapons for Norinco, the Nationalized Chinese armory. They were attempting to sell tanks and RPGs to American gangsters, even after they were banned from distribution in the States for trying to do that several years beforehand. They made some cool decent weapons.

I really, really love how you used the lore info dump dialogue for footnotes. Every time a new concept comes up - boom, let's have game's own VA explain it. An excellent editing choice.

The fact that you called out beckett for being the obnoxious cringe lord self insert he is instead of mistakenly thinking he’s cool or in any way witty alone is worth watching this whole video!! Even back in 2004 when I first played this game as a teenager I thought of him as an unmitigated douchebag. I can not tell you how much joy it brings my heart to hear after almost 20 years later that there are people out there that not only realize this but will put it into their review of the game!! Amazing work my man!

As a long term fan of the WoD I'd say, anecdotally, it's best described by just asking a 14 year-old wearing black lipstick what they think of society and then assuming everything they say is completely correct.

"Young people just want to change their gender and have gay sex all the time" 😂 that got me. Awesome work in this video. A lot of informative humor

Two things from what I remember when I read about the VTM lore. (40 mins in when I'm writing this comment) 1. Other supernatural creatures in the World of Darkness do enforce their own masquerades through their own ways. 2. The reason why the masquerade exists is to hide themselves from hunters (there are huge ass vampire hunting organizations, hell I think V5 that came out in 2017 deals with spy agencies like the CIA finding out about the vampires) and potentially the Antediluvians.

Around the 1 hour mark you mention that tremere got his powers by deablarising saulot, which is only half correct. The original blood that clan tremere used was a mix of tzimisce and gangrel blood. Which is the actual reason the tzimisce hate the tremere, other than them being a pillar of the cammarilla

Absolutely knocked it out of the fucking park with this one. It's a shame that Bloodlines 2 will most likely never happen, and if it does it won't be anywhere near the quality of 1. Went ahead and subscribed on Patreon. Stay safe, dude.

I've been thinking about getting myself Vampire the Masquerade recently and of course I remembered reading about your preparations for the events currently unfolding in the Ukraine. Glad you're doing well and also keeping up the content. You're a great content creator and I'm glad I've stumbled upon you through your Morrowind videos.

26:55 I have a headcanon that this sabbat goon was malkavian antitribu, hence why he knows that he is in the videogame.

58:59 Honestly, it's harder to find a role where Fred Tatsciore *does* sound like himself - the man's the walking definition of range

In a recent playthrough with Wesp5's patch, I discovered that when you go to the diner to find Jeanette, you can talk down the thugs in the diner from attacking you if you speak to them before going to the ringing phone in the corner! I love this game so much!

Can confirm my first playthrough of Bloodlines was as a Malkavian and it was fuckin awesome. I really felt like I was playing as a crazy person with weirdly incredibly insight into the world.

What a way to spend Sunday evening

Big hype for this, man. TWO hours? Cool as hell. Hope you and your family are staying safe, and thanks for the continued content!

Utica m37 shotgun is actually a really good early game weapon with lethality of 20(higher only flamethrower with 110) and a knock back effect. The only trick - this gun needs to be used up close and personal to truly shine.

I CANNOT recommend Clan Quest enough, it lore-accurately expands on Sabbath and makes more out of them then just 'OH WE BAD GUYS' (Though they are still amoral in human terms.) But makes it so one can actually see SOME sort of sense in what they do, and the Priest character is one of my favorite video games characters ever, if I could pay you to make a video, I'd honestly pay to watch you review Clan Quest.

Neat bit of trivia, on the Tremere. They actually originated from another pen and paper role-playing game, Ars Magica, about wizards in medieval Europe. I also thought the loud music fit the mood of the game, since... Well, the goth clubs and dive bars it takes place in are like that.

Just about time! You know, few months when I first discovered you, I was shocked to not seeing Vampire Masquerade The Bloodline in your review list! No shit, i've been expecting a review on this, but not today. This will be a fine week as I dissect this video and rewatching again and again

Ураааа! Upd. 4 percent? That can't be right, there should be a lot more of us. Maybe you've seen some vpn-based statistics? Russian sseth can't be such unheard in Russia

It's amazing how well updated the UP is along with Wesp5's involvement in the community. I asked on reddit to find out a new song with the patch and got a reply from them within hours

Totally agree that Malkavian should be the first playthrough for everyone. Having vague references to things to come isn't very useful or interesting if you already know everything that's going to happen.

Favorite video of yours that I watch every so often. Don't know why, but very relaxing.

Wesp deserves his own video, that man might well BE a vampire. He has been on top of this game for virtually me entire adult life. Seriously, it's quite insane.

This game still has the most entertaining dialogue I've ever experienced. This and Fallout New Vegas are my all-time favorite RPGs (plus Planescape Torment).

awesome "review" as always. I was gonna give you a score of 11/10, but you skipped the crazy doctor quest to obtain the sickest weapon of all. The Severed Arm (it's also a good snack for Pisha). Only 10/10 for you. Joke apart, thanks for entertaining us regardless of what's happening. We are all boomers, we are friends. From eu, with love

Late to the party, but this video was so well edited and concise with the information - great job!

My favorite game of all time I will point out Generation is about the potential for a vampire power, a lower generation don't make them automatically more powerful. Jack might be higher gen than Therese and Jeanette, he's also much older, and probably more experienced for example., same can be said of LaCroix

4:18 THANK YOU! The advice that you shouldn't pick Malkavian for your first playthrough has always struck me as absurd. I played one for my first playthrough because they seemed cool. And it was a blast! Yes, if you already know what the plot is, you can figure out what their special dialogue is referring to and realize how much they're able to see. But, crucially, _without_ already knowing the plot it just comes across as random mad jabbering. You won't have the game spoiled if you pick Malkavian. Instead you'll have a fantastic time with imo the best writing in the game and scenes that no other clans get access to.

You never miss, Warlockracy. I'm so happy to see the effort you put in your videos meet such a growth in public reaction. Thank you for covering so deeply these old games and mods from my forgotten childhood. It sparks much joy.

this man will probably play pathologic eventually and have a video on it considering where this channel looks to be heading

I think the fan patch makes the zombie quest easier. I remember back in the day it being super hard, but replaying the game last year or so I also did it on my first try. Also I know you couldn’t have covered the whole game but you missed some meme moments especially in Santa Monica, like Mr Gimble the prosthetist and the thin blood that was being kept on the basement of the hospital.

I always loved the writing in this game. I'll never forget the big guy, "I know I got a weight problem. I just don't give a fuck!" Christ, I nearly fell out of my chair when he said that. So damn funny.

Talking about how vampire could be alternative humans, I personally think that it is a general setting problem, which they tried to resolve in 5th edition with Second Inquisituon thing, but they still fucked up all the other things, so let's pretend it don't exist. Well, the quintessential part of the vampire society - the masquerade can't be in-game demolished because of two reasons - it's good for the elders, who can punish younger, more ambitious vampire's using the masquerade traditions, and the elders, who may still remember the first inquisition days(The reason why Cammarilla established masquerade), and overcautioness about all, rules the vampire society. From players perspective there are three reasons for masquerade. First of all, it's DM instrument to control player's characters. It's also a very easy to create a plot for your campaign using violation of a masquerade as a basis. And for the last one - first redactions came out in late 90-s/early 2000-s, all this conspiracy theories, private undergrouns communities and other wierd shit was popular back then, as I think. But if you think of it now - all Vampire part of the setting from realistic perspective is total bullshit. Like, literally everything is in the internet or in governmental data centers now, is there any possibility that bloodsucking monsters with wierd magic shenanigans and literally eternal lifes could even live in the society, not even control some parts of it, but live? Fucking doubt that, that's for sure. Werewolfs btw more realistic than vampires, their Lithuania can be violated more than vampire's masquerade, and they usually play in countryside or wilderness. I mean regular campaigns, not about eco-terrorists and nuclear destructions under the name of Gaya.

Other supernatural entities are in fact, a consideration for vampires and the masquerade. Funnily enough Vampires are nowhere near the biggest dogs in the "keep supernatural shit under wraps". That would be the mages...

You can move faster by alternating A and D rapidly while holding W. Changing directions in this way seems to give you a slight speed boost, so the faster you can alternate the faster you can run. Helped immensely while running through the sewer mission.

Amazing game to review! Imagine a world in which Troika didn’t go under.

The reviewing combined with the story telling and impeccable editing makes me absolutely baffled that this guy doesn’t have more subs or views. Really tightly made video and well thought out and one of the only long form videos that has me actually watching the entire thing and not just putting it on to listen to in the background

Love the editing and the way you left clues to figure out some stuff on our own! Now i want to play this game again

Your editing and storytelling skills are unreal, i enjoyed every second of this, and i play VTMB at least once a year and know the game, but this was still interesting! Extremely well done!

Wanna know something else about the 'true' patch? It was just an early version of the Unofficial Patch that they used without permission then passed off as their own work.

I like Chunk. I know the devs wrote him to be some idiot, but I like Chunk. He's that poor schmoe working security for an enterprise he doesn't have the foggiest clue about. Hell, even when you think he's creeping on somebody, turns out he's just trying to keep an eye out on his Bavarian cream in the break room. Think we can all empathize with that.

It makes me happy to see this community is still so alive

Can't believe that i never knew about your wonderful channel! Real hidden gem. Thanks for a great work! Game of my childhood, that was virtually unplayable on vast majority of pc's at it's time. I personally beat it for a first time just last year, without endless loading screens and bugs) Real masterpiece. Thanks to all people involved in picking this game to such a great shape. Thanks again for amazing material! Really glad that my country still have good entertainers, even in such bad times.

It feels like this channel exists just to review most of my favorite RPGs. I love this game, even though I only played it once, over a decade ago at this point (probably in 2008 or 2009). I've always felt like I should go back to it and do a Malkavian or Nosferatu playthrough, but so much of the talk about this game is about the Malkavian playthrough, it feels like I've had 90% of it spoiled already. I played it as a Brujah and took the early guns being bad as a sign to fight in melee, which honestly, it works out pretty well until you fight the sheriff, and then it just falls apart. But part of why that works feels like cheesing some broken mechanics anyway: I'd just drain people in combat if I couldn't stealth kill them. It takes a long time for enemies to be dangerous enough to outdamage all of the regeneration you get for feeding on someone. I've heard the Gangrel playthrough can also be interesting, because at certain points you can meet skill checks and get free upgrades from Beckett. Dude is definitely a cringy self-insert character, though.

Yes! Now the only troika game left is temple of elemental evil. Hope the stalker video rewrite wont take too long

As someone who played the game only after already being well-versed in VtM lore and WoD lore in general, I've always wondered what it is like to play it without any prior knowledge.

Thanks for making this video, I love your work. Thank you for existing!

Always end up coming back to this video whenever I'm having a rough night, thanks for your work man

I like how you seemed to focus on the charm and charisma of the game. Especially with that stuff at the end. I really can't think of any other game with such character like this one.

YES this is amazing! great work. Really out did yourself this time!

I'm glad you're doing okay. Sending you lots of love from Kentucky. Please stay safe

"Therise and Jeannette are like the two Catherines from the puzzle game" 10/10 foreshadowing line.

"American privilege" to have places you can actually visit. Meanwhile you have the entire Chernobyl Sarcophagus just waiting for you to explore.

It's here! Hang in there and keep strong. Glad to see your content again tho will always understand delays or no vids, please take care yourself!

Another ace! Thanks for the awesome production. Hope you’re staying safe!

I literally cannot count how many times I've played through bloodlines, with all sorts of patches, mods, etc. Yet I really loved watching this from start to finish -> you're that entertaining and engaging!

Glad to see you still putting out videos, but Jesus please take care of yourself and be safe out there. Shit is too wild recently. Also great vid, your style is fantastic and your humor knocks shit outta the park.

I'm very happy to see you're doing relatively okay, given the circumstances! Not to mention the great video.

I love the chapter intros so much, such a creative idea to overlay the headline with some topical voicelines!

55:25 This song is Cain by band Tiamat. Swamped is song played in ens credits.
