Storyline: immersive, well sculpted, and supprising for a vampire tale, really good. If i said more, i'd spoil it. Graphics: Good and bad. character models: awesome… except the ones you can choose to play as. HOWEVER the enviroment modeling could really have taken a little more effort – its almost like the terrain was an afterthought. Bugs: Yes, many, many, many. but they are mostly small. (mostly, NOT ALL) however, go to any good file mirror, and you'll find the official 1.2 patch and the un-official v2.6 (and counting) patch, made by fans after troika stopped. RPG elements: good, you get experience NOT for wanton killing, but for completing quests, (often involving killing, dont worry) this is a far better system (allowing true ‘theif/assasin classes, as well as shotgun weilding beserks.) I for one hate the idea behind MMO's, where you run out into the wilderness, vanquish a thousand beasties, and go up a level. HOW this this give the player experience? meanwhile, in vampire, as you play, you experience so much more of the world and learn more and more about the 'world of darkness’ as you complete the many side quests. so much better.
I'd give this game 5 stars if it wasn't for the bugs.
