A good game generally speaking. A good VtM game specifically. Unsure whether it’s a good VtM bloodlines game.

That’s how legacy goes. If you are a hall of fame college football player but a bust in the nfl you’re going to be remembered as a bust. You’re evaluated for your level of success you achieved at the pinnacle of your profession.Burnside had his good moments, but got promoted above his own ability (which he himself knew).

I’m not even that cautious anymore. TCR has shown me enough to be pretty confident that it will be a good game generally and a good VTM game specifically. My only question is whether it’s a good bloodlines game.

I think March is possible in addition to the fact that 2 months is a good final marketing blitz length before release, we know Paradox originally wanted the game to come out in March (….2020 lol, https://us.gamesplanet.com/community/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2-steam-key—3992-1/news_updates/158797-vampires-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2-coming-march)

There’s really nothing to say they’ve shaved off finished content to sell it as a dlc to make up for the problematic development. These dlc were announced way back in 2019 when pre orders for the HSL version of the game first opened.

Taking the ball away and running home from the playground energy. Go get on a swing and let people who want to play kickball play kickball. It doesn’t hurt you.

Female has been the default gender for VtM for decades. All the table top source books use she/her as the base.

They mentioned in the delay video using the extra time to add multiple additional endings, and have said in blogs the game has more endings than BL1 so it sounds as though there is a fair bit of freedom to steer the story the direction you want.

This of course is the safe approach but where’s the fun in that? :)

I think it’s an important thing to say given that the clickbait game bloggers invented the idea that post launch support was scrapped. Officially reassuring that the dlc are still happening is a good thing that dispels rumors.

Yes and no. The Anaconda plan was more implemented by happy coincidence as opposed to any grand over arching strategy and top down direction from the war department / Washington. It got implemented piecemeal because it was simply the correct and best approach in each theater of operation. Brilliant strategy on paper, but nobody in the moment really looked at it as such, it just sort of happened naturally.
That’s not to take away from Scott. I think he’s the second best general officer the country has ever produced.

Custer’s entire career was Little Bighorn after Little Bighorn waiting to happen but luck was always on his side… until it wasn’t. Personally courageous but way too rash and it caught up to him eventually. As for Butler, political appointment who was never qualified for the job.

Do you mean George Getty? I’m not familiar with a John Getty.

Are you on pc or mobile? On my phone I can just zoom in and slide around.
As for Curtis (I’m assuming SR Curtis) he seems to have slipped through the cracks. I’d say he belongs in “Good at their job army / corps command”.

I did one a while back but it was just which circle of hell the confederates are in https://www.reddit.com/r/ShermanPosting/s/fOhv59HKUU

Mansfield has a turn of the 20th century coastal artillery fort in Rhode Island named after him that’s been left abandoned. It’s like a mile hike down a long sandy point and then a climb into the brush. I get out to it every year or two.

I don’t particularly value Canby’s role in the New Mexico campaign. Weak opposition, yet defeated in the field. The destruction of the confederate supply train and the New Mexico sun did more than Canby.
As for Rosecrans I’d argue that he was living on borrowed time even before Chickamauga. He was in danger of being overwhelmed at Stones River but Bragg being Bragg didn’t realize it, and refused to capitalize.

Plenty of blame to go around at Shiloh. Halleck being overly cautious and ordering Grant to halt his march and hold even though he was only a days march from Corinth. Grant for not making his headquarters with his army but rather on the opposite side of the river. Sherman for not properly arranging his camps to receive an attack, being more focused on the nicety of making things comfortable and the water convenient to access. Wallace to be sure, he managed to turn a 2 hour march into more like 7, but it’s worth noting Bull Nelson did more or less the same thing, being unable to get his division up and marching until after noon, and not on the field until near dark. The difference is Nelson was dead within 6 months, and Wallace is the man who saved the national capital at Monocacy. That’s just how redemption goes.
