Repeated intro
Hello kindred and welcome to our latest dev diary detailing what’s included in the Valentine’s update for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2.

Description: New variations of the Valentine-themed customisation options for Phyre.
Enemy Loot
To make rooftop encounters more rewarding we have added a new feature that allows enemies to carry an item of loot (elixirs or blood bags - see below). Rather than just spawning the loot upon their death, we have them carrying it on their waist, allowing the more sneaky among you to practise your pick-pocketing skills and take it without being seen. And for those of you who prefer to get your hands bloody, the item will drop on their death. Most rooftop encounters in the city will feature an enemy with an item of loot.

Blood Bags
To help those of you who are hunting for blood resonance, we have added a new item type - Resonant Blood Bags. They are typically found being carried by Anarch vampires and their Ghouls on the rooftops of Seattle using the Enemy Loot feature. Collecting a blood bag will award blood resonance points of its type (e.g. 100 Sanguine points) that can then be used at a Clan Contact to awaken the Nomad’s blocked abilities.

Valentine Customisation Options
For those of you who want to look your best this Valentine’s, we have added several new customisation items, including hats, an eyepatch and an homage to a fan favourite character.

A popular request upon launch of Bloodlines 2 was to be able to add facial hair to Phyre, and the Valentine’s update adds three facial hair options, under the Accessories tab, for you to mix and match into your favourite looks or create something new.

Overall, there are 7 new hair options, 8 new make-up looks, 4 new eye colours, and 7 new accessories, making a total of 26 new customisation options. Combine these with the existing 151 items and 24 outfits to create your Valentine’s look. Please feel free to share these creations with us on social media for a chance to get featured in our “Phyre Friday” social posts.
Rotate Character
To help you admire your freshly follicled face, we have added a rotate character function to the customisation menu, so you can make sure you look perfect from every angle.

In addition to the bug fixes listed in the changelog below, we’ve added a shortcut to the Load Game Menu on the in-game Pause Menu, so you can easily jump to a previous chapter should the need arise.

That wraps up the Valentine’s update, which is available to play right now. A quick reminder that there are two DLCs to look forward to this year: “Loose Cannon” lets you step into the shoes of Benny, the Brujah Sheriff, and the second DLC, “The
