The legendary Shigeru Miyamoto once famously said: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad". Upon its release in 2004, Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines (-25% during our Summer Sale Festival) was doomed to belong to the second category. 15 years later, however, Bloodlines is universally considered as one of the best Action-RPG of all time. How? Mods. Tons of them.
Our friends at NexusMods have put together a list of absolute must-have mods for you to enjoy this timeless jewel. Buckle up, here they come!
Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines Unofficial Patch
The Unofficial Patch is a great place to start modding the game as it lays a good foundation and fixes many bugs and annoyances. The patch doesn’t only bundle fixes to dialogue, magic, and textures but also years-long works to bring back plenty of cut-content, and lots of optional changes and additions.
Bloodlines Unofficial Patch is integrated by default to the GOG version of the game. Just press play!
Dev0lved ENB
Lighting is very powerful in defining the overall tone and atmosphere of a game. This ENB preset gives more depth to the shadows, allowing the neon-like glow to shine through. It takes inspiration from Bladerunner and Cyberpunk and delivers with a stark contrast between darkness and light.
Subtle Female Malkavian
The Malkavian race is known for their crazy outfits, but what if for once you don’t feel like going all crazy with your attire? “Subtle Female Malkavian” offers improvements and fixes to all levels of armour based on Jeanette’s and Therese’s respective outfits.
Playable NPCs
If you’re a returning veteran, you might want to mix things up a little and play as a new character. “Playable NPCs” offers a staggering 135 possible options to replace the main characters from clan Toreador, Ventrue, and Nosferatu.
Pen and Paper Mod
This mod attempts to bring the gameplay more in line with the pen and paper roots of the series. It includes a number of tweaks to disciplines, feats and other systems, making for a completely overhauled gameplay experience.
Here you have it, a compressed list of must-have mods that faithfully keep the essence of the game as it was originally designed. Don’t hesitate to browse through all the categories on NexusMods, there are treasures to be found!
If you feel like exploring Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines even further, the Clan Quest mod (updated in November 2018) adds a whole new storyline with fully voiced NPCs, new gameplay systems and 3 new endings! Many would say the mod is absolutely mandatory to get the most out of Bloodlines - We’ll let you be the judge of that ;).
Which mod had the biggest impact on YOUR playthrough?
