I just hurled myself into Vampire as a Malkavian... The story/characters are all that is there. The combat is bad on the order of Arcanum. Havok isn't used at all. The graphics are a few notches down from HL2 and it runs pisspoor comparatively.
But everything else (meaning the RPG assets) are freakin groovy. The music, the settings, the voice acting is all sa weet. So don't bother with it if you are looking for an FPS/RPG... just get for the RPG stuff.
