Also, hookers are in!

The first time you try to flirt with a Sex Worker in the game and get turned down because your choice of clothing didn’t impress them will be an eye-opener!

Bro, I don't know how to say this, but you don't have to flirt with hookers.
See, they are not hookers. They are Sex Workers. Strong and Independent, and you have to flirt with their kind!

In original Bloodlines hookers were sexy.
Bobcut model was fine, ponytail model was uggo and ratchet.

This is true, but I would put it down to sloppiness, not lack of proper vision. Besides, sluts may even be ugly, but there is no point in depriving them of the sexiness necessary for their profession.

Eh, she looks fine. Even has a fur coat for the snowy weather or other purposes.

I know it's how USA looks now, but World of Darkness no need to be THAT realistic.
The internet/smartphones changed prostitution. The best looking ones aren't going to be out walking the streets, there's no need for that.

I wonder how they will try to pull this off, "...or even a sex worker making good on their promise with a client.", when those scenes were already censored in Bloodlines 1 until I restored them for the patch :)!

That’s about right with the prostitutes, the ugly to average looking ones are in the streets.

In a major American city the gorgeous ones who aren’t drug addicted or felons are called courtesans or escorts and costs quite a bit. You won’t see these girls on the street either, in NYC they’ll typically work in a firm that will background check you and need a major credit card on file. You aren’t of course officially paying for sex, it’s just for a “date” with the agency putting a disclaimer on the bottom they aren’t selling sex but they aren’t liable for what happens between consenting adults. I’ve worked at major firms in the city and seen several of them show up at corporate events.

Listen, I know life and I know women.

We live in a world where the economization of sex has revealed its ugly side when there is an economic collapse that even modern medicine and hygiene cannot hide under the mask of antiseptic powder. I am well aware that in the current socioeconomic situation, street prostitution has been limited to places where women have no opportunity for economic advancement, including online and upper-class prostitution. I believe that a fat black ass shaking in a mesh leotard like a kiwi in a grocery store communicates something about our world.

With all this in mind, I demand sluts with big tits and wasp figures in Vampire.

A lot of whores in LA used to be women who went there to become actresses or models but failed. Nowadays most of them are sheboons from the local ghettos, even though it's a majority-hispanic city.

At least they finally have curated screenshots and not in-editor grabs. They actually look decent.

I guess what they mean is that a prostitute isn't gonna follow you down into a seedy alleyway if you dress like some broke-ass bum, which is fair enough.

Liked what I read tbh. It can give a town hub playstile that can remind of Deus Ex games. Or at least from the Robocop hub if it turns out to be very basic.

That devlog was a big load of nada. They're trying too hard to say something while saying nothing and I think it's because they're talking about Seattle, an American city in the West Coast that the developers, being from Great Britain, have little interest in. And just reminded me Seattle was chosen by Hardsuit Labs for some self-insert reason about technological disparity. Stupid if you ask me, but then TCR's reason is to recycle assets from the previous game's version despite their claim they had to start from scratch. The disconnection is just too strong.

For kinks and other such cadaveric preferences, nosferatu are that way.
Uncle Gary's Funhouse! :happytrollboy:
Now that is unfair. Cadaveric preferences are catered to in the Giovanni mansion. Certain kinks, however, will require one to walk the Road of Kings.
That Crusader kings dlc ain't out yet.
All the references I made in that post were limited to the scope of Bloodlines :obviously:

I just don't get VtmB 2 from a marketing / brand perspective. Literally nobody who is a fan of the first game is going to like this game, so why call it VtmB 2? People who are not familiar with the first game wouldn't care even if this game was called Legend of Phyre the Armenian Vampire, whereas I think calling it a sequel is just going to rile up the fans of the old game and create negative word of mouth around the game.
