There's a screenshot that didn't age well. At least turn on the anti-aliasing, men!

The sex symbol of the game get the last image position should say it all about Troika's marketing prowess.

Is this gaem any good? Every time I did install it I stopped playing it, so I don't know if it is truly worthy or not. And I not stopped playing the game due to it, but because my "playthroughs" coincided with certain things in my life that took me away from videogems a while.

PSA for VtM:B virgins: yes you should play it, yes you should install Wesp's patch (plus patch not recommended for a first playthrough though), yes it has aged well. (Melee) combat is kind of shit and there are some not-so-great stretches towards the end but everything else about it is fucking-A.

Played it for the first time this year and I totally agree, it's a great game.
The GOG version comes with Wesp's patch already installed (the basic bug fixing version, not the plus patch which also adds things), so you don't need to do anything extra with it. Apart from getting stuck in a door once and a minor intermittent bug when using the taxis, this version worked flawlessly for me on Windows 7.

If you like RPGs with high replay value and appreciate games with quality immersion and VA then you should play it at least twice. Go as a Malkavian for your second or third playthrough to see what I mean about replay value.
Some things will be frustrating and/or unappealing. Combat is pretty clunky and there are a lot of bugs even with the unofficial patch. Many of the textures and animations are also clearly dated (not including the dialogue animations, which are great and miles ahead of the hot garbage you see in most modern AAA games).
Damn you miserable licks, now I have to do it again. And I stopped counting years ago.

Huh? Are there any commercial game from 2004 that aren't "accessible"?
Anyway, the game's pretty "meh", but like a lot of games that are considered classics around here it seems a lot better because it has so little competition.

Compared to Morrowind, Deus Ex, or the first Twitcher, it feels pretty accessible.

For me, NWN2, and it was from 2006.
While I literaly had no problems playing Bloodlines for the first time few months ago. And I loved it.

You mean Witcher 1? I found it pretty accessible. I don't mind a game being less accessible than usual

Added content that may not go well with the original flow of the game.

Wesp's approach was to add evvvverything that could be found in the files, and a bunch of stuff besides, and some of that stuff was frankly left out for reasons other than lack of time. To pick a minor example, he dug up some VO for lines that were cut out, and when added back in, they make no sense in context, as they clearly reference a scene that was removed completely and isn't present in the plus patch either.
Don't get me wrong, the plus patch is good and adds some really welcome stuff as well, but if it's your first experience of the game you will have rather too many wait, what? moments.

I was a fan of plus patch, but Wesp went way overboard and nowadays it borders on trash.
To be honest after all these years I can't explain myself why Tessera already finished patching this game, while Wesp still gets to fix new bugs. Does anyone have a serious explanation?
Beside, I would love to shit on gog for bundling bloodlines with the wesp patch.

Drog says it's because Wesp likes the attention he gets due to bugs. People desperately ask on the forums how to fix their playthrough, and Wesp pops up with some "magical console command" to fix it, and then people praise him like the sun and can't thank him enough. He puts those bugs in on purpose.

No, they only gifted me their Bloodlines version, which was kind of logical to test it
