Vampire The Masquerade:Bloodlines, like it's predecessor - Redemption, could well prove very tricky to all but the most experienced and patient Adventure game players, if you want to be able to move through the game seamlessly, in the correct order, and not miss anything,and without losing your humanity and violating the Masquerade, then this is an essential purchase to compliment the game, and ensures you will enjoy the game much more.
The book starts with a run down on the differences between the clans, so that you can make a better choice as which best befits your style and personality and how you'd like to play the game, and a run down on the disciplines each clan can use, their strong and weak points, and which character stats to build up first as you start out.
It also looks at the games weapons and gives gameplay tips, it has maps of each suburb, and has a listed breakdown of how many XP points you can get for each quest and side quest, and a very detailed walkthrough, with colour pictures, and concise written instructions, all of this on glossy pages teaming with artwork. Like all the latest game guides of late, the style of presentation is much easier to follow now, no more reading full pages of text with occasional small black and white pics that are hard to make out, reading this guide is easy and pleasureable.
