I'll have to check out Gamer's Gate, Do you know where I could find Arcanum Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. It sounds like something I would have a lot of fun with.As for Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines, I've not heard a whole lot about it, I will have to read up on it.
Oh wow, you're in for a treat. Both these titles are great. VTMB in particular is a great title. It had so many issues at launch, mostly bugs, and never enjoyed great success sadly. Troika went out of business shortly after, then CCP bought the rights to the IP killing any hope of a sequel.
CCP bought White Wolf and are developing the MMO set in the (old) World of Darkness. I don't think a sequel to Bloodlines was ever planned, as none of the other WoD games has one. Heck, WW themselves don't seem to be too bothered about video games as a whole - Heart of Gaia would never see the light of day and seems they are chill about it. Even then, how would you make a sequel to it, seeing as there are at least 3 different endings in terms of significance. Not to mention Gehenna hits soon afterwards and wipes the world. That's both in-game (it's really set in the Final Nights) and out of game (the WoD was terminated and rebooted in 2004, when Bloodlines came out).

I'm not entirely sure if WW would have even bothered to make any other games set in the oWoD, since until a couple of years ago, they did consider it pretty much dead. Really, the MMO is probably their only chance of releasing something set there.

I can't really see how it's CCP's fault at all.
I know how WW was acquired. There might've been a sequel, there might not have, but once CCP owned the IP there was never the possibility, which was a shame. I know they're developing an MMO, but I won't play any CCP game as they allow hackers to get access to their customers' accounts and rather than help the loyal, paying customer they allow the hackers to get away with it.

This is a flawed reasoning, since as I said, there wouldn't have been a sequel. No possibility there. Yeah, in very broad technical sense there could have been, as in a game is able to be made, but then again, after the CCP merger, we have the EXACT SAME possibility. Yeah, in a very broad technical sense a game is able to be made. I don't see anything different now. Heck, if anything there is more of a chance now than before, as CCP are a game development company and they could either make it themselves or subcontract it, whereas White Wolf wouldn't have bothered at all.

By the way, there is that fan-made sequel-like thingie, Requiem of the Night. The dev made a kickstarter [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2144679402/requiem-of-the-night-a-modern-nights-vampire-video?ref=live] but it was shut down by WW. And with good reason - it was blatantly advertised as a Bloodlines successor, not to mention it absolutely used the oWoD and everything without a license, plus the gameplay trailers shown had the (male) Nosferatu PC from Bloodlines. I've got no idea what happened to the project afterwards, though, the website [http://requiemofthenight.com/] appears to be dead, but last I heard from the guy (when the kickstarter got shut down) he was going to look for another way to release the game. I guarantee that the same would have happened even if CCP weren't involved.

I see people have already stated Vampire but let me add to the noise, VAMPIRE. I usually play that game once or twice a year every year, I can never get sick of it.

Another one I am not sure I would recommend but I do enjoy is winter voices. You play as a woman who's father just died, and the turned based combat is you fighting your emotions, doubts, and fears, and the skill tree is different ways of dealing with those emotions etc......

Its....... not for everyone, but it has a demo so there's no harm in at least trying it. The original game and all its episodes are around 8 dollars on steam at the moment if you find you like it.
