Modders have already patched fast travel into Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and they might even be able to make its linear detective segments skippable for replays

I rather liked Bloodlines 2—just so long as I pretended it wasn't called Bloodlines 2—but I have to admit that parts of it became repetitive after a while. The blood resonance stuff? A chore. The side quests? Formulaic.

Even its really-quite-condensed open map even turned into a bit of a chore to schlep around when I was just interested in wrapping up the main narrative—particularly when playing as Fabien, who lacks Phyre's ability to glide around the rooftops.

Well, great news if you happen to be me...
