Rumour: Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Publisher Plans to Back Down from Crap DLC Decision

by

It seems that the public’s strong reaction against the Day One DLC for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 might have prompted the publisher, Paradox, to re-evaluate their original strategy.

Initially, the forthcoming action role-playing game is set to debut along with a $22 DLC expansion offering two distinct character classes. Many might contend that these elements should have been included in the core game, given their crucial role in shaping the player’s decision-making journey.

Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that there has been strong resistance towards this concept not only from prospective gamers but also from the media. In fact, the negative feedback on the questionable DLC approach has overshadowed the game to such an extent that critics have been talking more about the issue than the game itself.

It’s encouraging news that Paradox could potentially be taking steps to rectify their controversial actions, as pointed out by Slayven on ResetEra. The company’s community leader made a short yet hopeful announcement on Discord.

Based on the feedback you’ve given us regarding the access to the Lasombra and Toreador clans, we are making changes before the launch to better address your concerns.

“We will share more information about what this means as soon as possible.”

Certainly, it’s not automatic that Paradox will rescind their decision right away, but the fact that the publisher is making such comments implies there might be some changes happening under the surface.

The catch here is that if you choose to pre-order the pricier Premium Edition of Bloodlines 2, it comes with the added benefit of including two character classes.

Since the classes are an important feature of the Premium Edition, Paradox must make certain not to confuse those who have already pre-ordered it.

Is it likely that Paradox will reconsider their controversial Day One DLC approach, or could a compromise be possible? Feel free to share your thoughts anonymously in the comments.
