It's a good game, but getting into it nowadays requires a lot of patience. Partly due to bugs - nothing game-breaking, but I had to give up on a couple of sidequests simply because of weird NPC behavior or quest items not spawning. But also, after becoming used to modern RPGs with a lot of hand-holding, diving blindly into Bloodlines is pretty taxing.
I've considered dropping the game multiple times, mostly after getting to Chinatown. But the desire to learn more about the world, and how this story ends made me keep coming back.
I'm glad I played this, since Bloodlines is one-of-a-kind game even now, but I doubt I would ever replay it. Maybe if the game gets a remake - it definitely needs one.
