yeah that's my understanding about FEAR and that's the shit I have the most trouble dealing with, is the cheap jump-scares all the time.
I know that this is atmospheric but it might be too much for me. I don't knoow. I wish I could think of more recent scary games to give an impression of what I can handle.
Oh well. If I buy this off steam, can I mod it, or is steam still a bitch about that?

Well you're basically asking people to spew forth pages of explanation for your own benefit.
I'm not sure if you properly judged the work to reward ratio for everyone who isn't you.
Sorry. I suppose I wanted to know first off if there was some sort of paper-rock-scissors deal between Mages, Werewolves and Vampires. I'm also curious if there's any really big-bads. Cain I suppose counts as a big good guy judging from what I've seen in Bloodlines..

No to the first and everyone has their own big bads, at least in nWoD
Werewolves have Cthulu-esque beings that fuck up everything on the rare occasions they awake, Vampires have VII and Belial's Brood, and Mages have the Exarchs

Ok, I looked up VII and Belial's Brood on that WoD-wiki. So if I get it right, the first's some mystery group who might be a) Vampire princes trying to bring back the city of Gomorrah, b) Vampires pissed off over some broken promise or c) a group of assassins put together via a mishmash of science and magic. And BB are vamps who just act however they want, not caring if it exposes magic and other vamps and the like. Couldn't find an article on Exarchs though.

Exarchs are servants to the Seers of the Throne, Mages who ascended to the Supernal Realm and want to keep humanity in the dark about magic.
They undermine the efforts of typical Mages at any opportunity.
The gameplay is designed(at least in NWoD) so that if it comes to a cross-supernatural battle, the odds are fairly balanced. All dice rolls involve adding the required stats together(I.e. Wits + Composure, Dexterity+Occult+[Arcana Level]), and using the combined amount of d10s. 8 and up is a success, 10s are rerolled.
There can only be a dramatic failure if you're reduced to no dice, which gives the player a chance 1d10 roll. Get a 1 on that, and bad things happen.

I think it means "this gets better"! It probably originated not on its own but rather as an antagonist phrase to the commonly used phrase-family structured around the adjective "downhill" e.g. "This place has gone downhill".

Oh man Hunter finally put out a general bad guy supp and it's really good
Between this and Slasher and Geist in August White Wolf has some quality shit coming out/out recently
Hmm... I had originally intended not to bother with nWoD on account of I already own like fifty oWoD books. But I got the new Changeling last week, and it is very much the sex. Now you and cj are making me want to try a cross-class game, too, since that never worked in the old system. (Seriously, having vampires and mages and werewolves work together in a game was fucking impossible.)
Is the new Werewolf any good?

There's another thing about games that has advanced pretty far since this game was made; player character interaction with npcs and shit.

NWoD was practically designed for a cross-class game, if you want.
I play a Mage in one. I think vampires are the minority. It's mostly werewolves, a handful of mages, and maybe a couple Changelings.
I've never played Arcanum, but I'm considering tracking it down after my second run of Bloodlines.
I also need to check out V:TM Redemption, which I've never played.
As for Bloodlines crashing: that's its way of welcoming you back. Happened to me twice.
I've tried Redemption. It's ok, I suppose, but it paled compared to Bloodlines seeing as I tried to play both around the same time. Looking back at it, it kinda gave me a Legacy Of Kain vibe.
Redemption definitely had its moments. I played it a couple of years before Bloodlines though, and Bloodlines improved upon it in just about every way possible.
My favorite part was probably running around in a trench coat with a blood-sucking sword. I would use celerity and dash around a corner and behind a guy before taking his head off (I might be imagining the actual head taking off part, but it was still very bad ass at the time).
Oh and being able to alternate freezing someone solid and then boil their blood was fairly amusing.

Well break down the sides for me in each version and how they relate to each other first off.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
this should be fine then
do you have bootcamp though?
I can't remember if this is mac compatible

here you go dude.
fear is not scary so much as it is BOO LITTLE GIRL 50 fucking times
this however is kinda creepy, but not shit your pants like undying or ss2
Which sides because again
Metric shitload
Both versions have the three core books, Vampire, Werewolf, and Mage, and then more supplemental series
old WoD had a shitton, nWoD has three and a fourth one is coming out in a couple months
Cute.

Shame they're not voice acted. The only thing better than the PC dialogues in The Witcher is hearing Geralt's deadpan VA say them.

you can apply an unofficial patch to the steam version, right?
Now imagine having to punch those abortion monsters to death instead of shooting them like a big veejayjay.
