From GameWatcher: “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 draws a fair bit of its inspiration from tabletop, due to the IP’s roots. Hardsuit Labs has just explained the exact manner in which they adapted certain features from Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition for Bloodlines 2.
With the first Bloodlines game being a rather accurate representation of the pen ‘n’ paper that was relevant at the time, Hardsuit is hard-pressed to try and do the same, and to that end, they’ve had the chance to work side-by-side with developers of the 5th Edition.”
