Yes. It’s been that long. Vampire the Masquerade – Bloodlines was launched 5 years ago from this day… well yesterday depending on your time-zone (mine is Pacific). So our delayed front page news we’ll blame on urm… lag, yes, lag. Actually Bloodlines launched the 16th in the USA and on the 19th in Europe.

Anyway, even after all of this time, new modifications keep coming along with Wesp’s Unofficial Patches. To commemorate this 5th anniversary, Wesp has launched a special Unofficial 6.6 Patch that unlocks more hidden content than any prior version. For more information, check out this thread:

Burgermeister01's mod adds seven new quests for each of the seven clans in Bloodlines. Not only were additional dialogue options added to make the new quests but there was some additional voice acting as well.

Currently the mod is hosted on Fileplanet and will be added to the PV archive this weekend.

Some of the specific additions to the game include:
- 7 totally new quests - one for each clan! Each quest is written and constructed to match the clans' ambiance and feel; dig up dirt with the Nosferatu, work deals with the Ventrue
- Over 550 new dialogue lines, with main characters voiced by semi-professional voice actors!
- The new quests feature genuine WoD lore and facts; learn more about the Masquerade than ever.
- Learn more about the most influential NPCs through new dialogue and quests
- Revisit some of the more neglected locations in the original game, such as the Asp Hole and the Empire Hotel, now infused with new content
- Meet 14 new NPCs including a members of the dreaded Assamite and Lasombra clans
