I just received a 50% increase to my upload speed for free so my ratio is starting to edge back toward 1.05 from 0.93...

If the publishers hadn't wanted to toss this onto the production line so fast it probably wouldn't have had half as many bugs.

There is a certain bug in the end that makes the game unfinishable unless you use console commands. Its sad, but its a very good game nonetheless.

The crap fighting system have put me off for now.

Instead I'm hooked on roller coaster tycoon 3

I never was forced to use a console command to finish the game.

As for the glitches and bugs themselves, Troika said many times over that the game was "finished" for a few months and they were simply waiting for HL2 to be put out. I've never seen a Troika game not be a terrible mess upon release. Temple of Elemental Evil and Arcanum are both infested.

just out of interest, how do you open the console?

Open Properties on the shortcut to the game.

Where it says Target replace the text in there with this:

"E:\Program Files\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines\vampire.exe" -console

(You'll need to put in the relevant drive letter if it's different).

Once in the game press ` (top left button on our keyboards).
