I'm genuinely enjoying Bloodlines 2, but there's a few things I think they need to change.
>Rework the sidequests so there's just random people with random problems around the city each night for you to chin-wag with. Scrap the busywork quests, focus on little mini-stories. Look at those NPCs that Fabien interacts with. They could make a mini-quest chain for each of those NPCs when playing with Phyre.
>They should rework the progression system to be tiered. So you can have stronger TK, and higher level versions of skills that do more damage or have wider effect.
>They should make it so that when you pick up an object with TK, you can stash it. So you can have a slot that you can store a gun in, store knife in, whatever, and carry that item wherever you go. This would be a minimal change that would open up new ways for dealing with combat encounters because you could always have a gun ready when you enter combat.
>They should loosen up a few quests so that you can distract enemies away from the door and sneak in. Give the player an XP bonus for doing this to offset the lack of XP from killing. This would make players feel like they had agency.
>Add a fast travel system so you don't have to do so much running around. Especially important for Fabien.
>Also, add a proper combat tutorial.
I really do like the game, but there's a series of bad design choices made here that I feel like they should have picked up on months ago and corrected. Some will require more effort to fix than others, but all would help.

Are you shills being paid by the word count now?

Also, the standalone story DLCs where you play as Benny and Ysabella? They should integrate these into the main game. (Optionally of course.) So that it pops up and says, "Would you like to switch perspective to Benny?" That way you avoid Deus Ex Missing Link fucked pacing syndrome.

I cannot believe they forgot to make combat tutorials. What were they thinking?

This game could be a solid 6.5 or even 7 IF only they didn't go through ith using the fucking Bloodlines 2 title since it's obvious it will be compared to the original no matter what.

That said this game has some pros but there's just so many cons it's just falls short as fuck, main problems being ZERO replayability since the only things that you have direct influence on is your clan which only changes the way you fight and let me tell you the combat fucking sucks. This back and forth between Phyre and Fabien storyline is retarded and warrant no way for new and interesting multiple walkthroughs. The game design is literally linear and there's nothing else interesting going on, just rails that you follow.

Also vampires dying and not turning to ashes literally destroys the whole story (like Fabien or Lou's sister, which is already wonky and filled with deus ex machina to the brim). These are just the tip of the iceberg that makes this game an insufferable experience.
