Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 got a full release date during Gamescom Opening Night Live last night, along with a fresh trailer. However, there's one detail that might put a bit of a dampener [dhampir? - Ed] on your claret-tinged celebrations about the game finally overcoming its many bloody delays.

I've been waiting for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 for years, and this tiny, easily missed interaction suggested my faith in The Chinese Room hasn't been for nothing, even if sometimes it's felt like I've been clinging to a rose-tinted reverie.
