No stream of DLCs is the one bit of good news there. And otherwise yeah, it is a strangely frank speech. But keeping the license when you want no part of it is just rotten. Not that it's any surprise.

Yes.

If you keep it at the open air.

Instead of in a bottle.
Well they say that if Bloodlines 2 sells they will do Bloodlines 3.

Not sure how VtMB2 can still be a success in these circumstances, but whatever.

No stream of DLCs is indeed good, but at least 1-3 DLCs so we can have a few more clan choices would have been great.

Frankly any Vampire: The Masquerade game should have Toreador, Malkavian and Nosferatu as choices. Those are my favorite clans from VtMB1, anyway.

Sadly, this is coming from a company which quite literally operates on a steady stream of DLCs and made it their business model. Clearly tells how much confidence they have in the project.

What'd have been great would have been to have all of that and more in the game itself, not in DLCs.

And yeah, those three and Brujah, Tremere and Ventrue, which they did include. Ventrue's needed because they run things, then you have your standard fighter, mage, thief archetypes in Brujah, Tremere and Nosferatu, then the artists and the insane that would play differently. But that's just why they saved them for what must have been initially planned DLCs, same as Nosferatu, which they replaced with the Banu Haqim for a more "standard" thief archetype, not requiring them to implement all the separate gameplay paths in the base game. And can also say that Toreador is for fans of Anne Rice, and Malks are definitely for anyone who played the original Bloodlines, even without actually playing Malk, just knowing all they implemented in the game just for that clan, so there would be quite a target audience for a DLC including those if they want to milk it for all it's worth.

Agreed but its Paradox, so DLCs have already been expected.
