If Baldur's Gate 3 is "an entire roleplay setting," Bloodlines 2 is a "scenario"

Baldur's Gate 3 is inarguably among the best videogame adaptations of a TTRPG. From its authentic recreation of one of Dungeons and Dragons' most iconic settings, to the beautifully written supporting characters and countless gameplay systems that allow you to bring your chaotic antics to life, it's the quintessential DnD game. But before Shadowheart and Astarion there was Jeanette (or Therese) Voerman and Sebastian LaCroix: for many, the original Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines was what Baldur's Gate 3 is today: the (mostly) perfect virtual representation of White Wolf's TTRPG.
