Vampire: Bloodlines Weekly Update #16

Activision's Shane DeFreest has sent us another weekly update for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines via email. Unfortunately, it is not specified which one of the developers actually answered them. Check it out:
Q: I'm curious about the more sexual and seductive elements of the game. If I play as a female vampire, do other female NPC's flirt with me the same as if I was playing a male character. Is there anything different in the genders and how they are implemented? Does the game play through differently if you are a female?

A: Your gender determines who you can seduce -- and who you can't. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that flirting only works with members of the opposite sex.

Q: Many Fans in Germany are fearful that Vampire: TM - Bloodlines will be gutted. Is there any plan to modify it? E.G. no splatter effects, blood or dirty language. How different will the bloodlines game released in Germany be from the one released in the United States?

A: We're still early in our discussions on international versions of the game, but we certainly hope to take German fans on a thrilling excursion into the World of Darkness.
