Not played yet, but the story sounds great:

—

Victoria McPherson is a brilliant young FBI agent who’s investigating a serial murder case. The body count is now at five and she has no real leads, nothing but a mountain of circumstantial evidence and a boss who’s breathing down her neck.

In order to take a break from it all, she decides to visit her father in the suburbs. Since it’s close to the Christmas holidays, she and her father talk about their family, including Victoria’s grandfather, who used to be a private investigator. This discussion leads Victoria to read one of her grandfather’s old case files, a file which reveals an uncomfortably high number of similarities between a seventy-five year old case in Europe and the current string of killings in Chicago…

No idea how old/new this is, but as long as it’s good that doesn’t count anyway. :)

Bloodlines – v1.2 -> v1.4 Update Patch

2005/05/16 in gaming

Since Troika is history, it’s up to the fans to enhance the game. 1.4 is a fan patch, that requires an already installed 1.2 retail patch.

1.4 Fan Patch

Readme is a long one, so I won’t post it here.

Bloodlines (for the last time?)

2005/05/03 in gaming

After finishing it many many times, I can only say that playing as malkavian is the most rewarding experience. Others have disciplines like “stronger melee” attacks, but that’s boring. Being invisible or making others insane (while being it yourself) is much more intense (not to mention the outfits of the female malk). Just remind the scene at the players haven, when the anchorman starts talking to the PC. :))) Also completely different dialogue options AND different NPC reactions to your PC are worth a replay. Mightiest clan is Tremere, the “mass suicide” discipline (also available for clan ventrue) combined with the blood magic ability is unstoppable. Lame disciplines are stuff like “celerity” moving faster, that’s… uhhh – looks nice, but that’s it. Don’t forget to take the “deluxe version” of the katana sword in the Hollowbrook Motel.

And finally:

Crane Elephant

Dragon Cat

Door

Everyone who needs it knows what it means. :)

SW Knights of the Old Republic II Patch 1.0b

2005/05/03 in gaming

The patch doesn’t fix everything and it also brings new bugs to the game… For example talking to Handmaiden on Telos Academy saying the second option will crush your game. I can only recommend to use alle the fan fixes from this page.
