For example, every new area added is completely useless and the carrot-on-stick quest they put you through to look at it all is so obviously just forcing you to do just that. Most of the 'fixed' content aside from the Warrens skip ('cause the only way to fix it is to get rid of it) feels at odds with the game and, at its very worst, bad fan material. That's a big reason I don't recommend the patch plus to first-time players, it absolutely plays around with stuff that didn't need fixing. TLDR: Overall I feel like a lot of the cut content was cut because it was of poor quality and restoring it damages the overall quality of the game. Also I can't be the only one who prefers the ambient sounds of the night when dealing with the thugs in the beach house over that 10 second song that's put on repeat.įinally the new library quest is okay, but it bugged out on me and I spent half an hour confused as to what I was doing wrong until I looked up a walkthrough and realized the game didn't allow me to click a switch (had to reload to an earlier save). Deciding whether or not to kill Julius just wasn't the same without 'A Smaller God' playing in the backgrounds. Moving on, some of the new musics is nice, but a lot of it ruins the atmosphere. So out of the 5 powers only 2 are good (brainwipe was always bad). Oh and sleep is a just a worse version of trance, it cost more blood and you can't feed or do a stealth kill on a sleeping target. Command is complete trash, unless you save scum you always run the risk of commanding someone to start running in a random direction and revealing your location, when all you wanted was for them to be distracted for a few seconds while you sneak past them. Only to find out a couple hours later that they ruined Dominate.

Right off the bat the main menu looks way too cluttered, why the hell did they have to tamper with something that didn't need fixing? Then I go on to the clan selection and pick the best clan in the game. Except this time I decided to play with the unofficial patch (restored content) and boy did I not like it. Saw this subreddit a weeks ago and decided to play VTMB (for like the 100th time).
