Subscribe to our newsletter Vampire: The Masquerade—Bloodlines 2 may not have been the success Paradox Interactive hoped, but the publisher has committed to standing by the troubled sequel, and developer The Chinese Room has been doling out updates for the game since launch. December brought a vaguely holiday-themed update that added custom difficulty settings and a Santa-ish skin to let you get your Jolly Saint (Artery) Nick on, festively delivering teeth into the necks of snowbound Seattle’s citizenry.Now, The Chinese Room has released another update that is notionally related to Valentine’s Day. The primary feature of the patch is enemy loot, letting rooftop-dwelling vampires and ghouls carry useful items such as restorative elixirs and newly introduced blood bags. These can either be pickpocketed from unwitting foes or scavenged from their corpse after you’ve beaten them to a pulp and lapped up all the juice.In a Steam post, Paradox/The Chinese Room say the change has been added to “make rooftop encounters more rewarding” which is sensible enough. It doesn’t *scream* Valentine’s Day though, does it? Even if we acknowledge the gifting limitations of being an undead creature of the night, turning up to your lover’s coffin with a filched blood bag is a bit ‘wilting bouquet of flowers from the petrol station’.
