Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 does have "vampire romance," but it's the weird, bitey kind of romance and it's "probably awful" to look at
Look away, Astarion fans

Long-awaited vampire RPG sequel Vampire: The M♛asquerade - Bloodlines 2 will offer "vampire romance." Except it'll probably suck to watch (pun very much intended).
Speaking to , Alex Skidmore, project creative director on 澳洲ꦰ幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Vampire: The Masquerade - B𒉰loodlines 2, which is finally set t🐟o launch in October, more tꦺhan 20 years after its cult predecessor, was asked what the game's romance situation might look like. The answer is that it's there, but it'll look pretty gnarly.
"There are some romantic options," Skidmore explains, "but vampire romance isn't the same as human romance, and that's also an important plot point." That 'vampire romance', he outlin💃es, is a "kind of romantic feeding," that he acknowledges is as "probably awful" as it sounds.
In the team's defense, vampire fiction's relationship with traditional romance is pretty bitey, generally, often whether it's two vampires sinking fangs into one another or not. Neveꦡrtheless, the term 'romantic feeding' is neither particularly sensual, nor particularly illuminating.
Skidmore did provide a little extra context, explaining that there'll be some named vampires who you can feed on. A theoretic🤪ally intimate moment, it does sound as though it won't always play out like that - Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has already introduced some pretty power-hungry characters, and with emphasis on the hungry, any down-and-dirty vampire behaviour is likely to be pretty risky.
It's been a long, long wait for this particular sequel - one that's only lengthened over recent years thanks to delays and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a new studio. Bear in mind that this game w𒈔as originally planned for release in 2019, before being pushed to 2020 and then 2021 befor𒀰e eventually being shunted several more years down the line, and you can get a sense of how long we've had this one on the horizon. With a release now scheduled for October, however, that wait is very nearly over, capping off a bizarre two-decade history.
