You don't need to really do anything very special to make a VTMB 2 that will be eaten by the rabid fanbase wanting for more. You need like 12 memorable quests, some good weapons there and then, like 6 (4 at the absolute lowest) memorable characters, some dudes having funny accents.
A sewer. A badly designed sewer.
Uh. An inventory. Skills. Character sheets. Weapons. Skill checks. Hacking would be nice. Emails and stuff. Lockpicking would be extra nice. Then it'll be an average 7/10 most VTMB fans would agree don't quite match the original, but is still a worthy successor.
The issue is not TCR created an average game people would talk about in ten years and fondly says it isn't at the level of the first bloodline. The issue is that TCR created an utter piece of shit.
