We might not be able to expect Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 to launch until the second half of 2021, but there's still an "ultimate" vampire RPG game experience to sink your hungry little fangs into while you wait. That's thanks to a Fallout 4 mod that offers "a vampire survival experience of personal horror", complete with distinct "bloodlines" featuring their own perks and curses, gameplay changes, and even vampire rankings.
The new, revised Sanguinaire: The Ultimate Fallout 4 Vampire Experience mod by creators Christopher4684 and the Sanguinaire team (in association with the Summaries of Darkness YouTube channel) adds an impressively deep new layer of gameplay to Bethesda's open-world game. It's part inspired by the World of Darkness RPGs as well as Dontnod's Vampyr and real-world mythology. You play a character belonging to one of ten distinct bloodlines, each of which has its own appearance type, traits, perks, and vulnerabilities.
For example, there are the immensely powerful, highly organised, and decidedly deadly "Sanguinem Mortiferum" which boast not only the "normal vampire perks" - things like boosts to endurance, strength, agility, damage resistance, and more - but increased skill with ranged combat. Their specific perks include added VATS melee range, +20% damage when using pistols and rifles, and extra damage resistance on top.
