The Companion Mod offered a good taste of the vampire as puppet-master rather than murder machine.
Wesp's unofficial patch especially is basically mandatory if you're going to play the regular game. Modding is hard enough when not working on a game barely held together with sticky-tape, and fans have done a fine job of gluing it back together and bolting extra bits on around the side. I've dabbled with most of the Bloodlines mods at some point, though none of them have ever caught my fancy.
(* Battletech license may or may not be boring. The timing seemed fitting, especially with the launch of a new version of the Clan Quest mod the other week - one of several projects attempting to keep Bloodlines healthy over ten years after launch. Still, while waiting for Shadowrun: Hong Kong this week, I felt that urge to head back to Santa Monica and check out some old haunts. Still time to ditch that boring Battletech license!*) Yet still it feels like it's our best chance, until someone else finally figures out that urban fantasy is a painfully untapped genre for RPG awesomeness. But hey, the Malkavians of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines have lucked into stranger things, so I figure there's at least a chance that one day I'll fire it up and find a whole new adventure waiting. They say the definition of madness is repeatedly trying the same thing and expecting different results.
