The unofficial patches work with the Steam version of Bloodlines.

Better than reading your fanboi comments everytime a new Sims expansion is released.

Steam has this doesn't it? Anyone else?
My main concern with digital distribution is with 3rd party content like this. Can this be applied to Steam, or is the compatibility issues?

It's not that it was any more or less buggy than the average game that has "gone gold." That reminds me of the old site GoneGold. I really miss it. It was so cool to read up on upcoming games on a uncommercialized fansite.
My point is, don't think that this game was an unplayable mess - quite the contrary. In my opinion, it's a testament to the quality of the game that after all this time it still has an enthusiastic following. If you haven't played this game and want to play a great single-player first-person RPG with lots of exploration, great dialog, and superb voice acting, you should check it out. I agree wholeheartedly. I think there might have been an official patch or two out before I started playing it (I waited until I finished HL2), but even in that state I enjoyed it. I haven't replayed it since but if there are less bugs than with the official patches, the game should be absolutely stellar now.

The early fan fixes quashed most of the remaining bugs, everything else has been either finishing and implementing content that was cut due to time or whatever reason, or, less compelling (to me anyway) additions and changes to game play. I was happy around version 4.x when I played through it again.

Now it seems it may be the first RPG game in history to be virtually bug free!
5 years and 671,912 patches later, and will probably be patched another 671,912 times in the future....more like "most bugged RPG game in history", not vice versa.

I'm all for fan-made patches and community support, but I don't see how a four-year old game would need a new patches all the time. Just search for "Bloodlines Patch" in the Blue archives and you'll wonder whether they are releasing patches just to promote their project.
Well this gets into the entire foundation and mission of a copy-paste gaming news site. What is important and what is spam? Might be time to doublecheck the changelog on this one.

The game had a lot of issues initially, but most of those were solved with the earlier patches. Since then it has been adding a lot of content that was cut from the released version of the game, tweaking dialog and fixing mission bugs. I guess everyone needs a hobby...
