I realize this game came out 3 years ago, but there is no thread on this OMG UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME game. I've picked it up recently because I had a conversation about the downfall of adventure type games in the last, oh 10 years? And this was recommended as something close enough to adventure while also being an extremly good game.
This game has probably the most hilarious dialogue ever, plus a truckload of cultural references. My first laugh? A computer store named "Megahurtz"
The game also is damn intense on the whole storyline as well and the spellcasting is unbelievably awesome, at least as a Tremere (Wizard Vampire?).
They have mind control, but better! Not only does the target fight for you for a while, it will die of cardiac arrest instead of turning back on you!
And unlike D&D games, the KILL spells actually KILL people. Remember the Blade Trinity blood explosion thing Blade uses at the end? It's in the game too!
If you're looking for decent horror-adventure, you should give this a try. Should be in the bargain bin by now.
Oh, it's also by far the most violent and disturbing game I've ever played.
