There's another game? Is it as awesome the Bloodlines? Is it still available? Do tell!
Yeah it's the original, much older, but it was more of a traditional RPG.

The story spans out across 800 years, starts in medieval times then finishes off in modern times.
I love the attention to detail in there though, for example in the medieval time they speak old-english
It's completely lineair, even more then Bloodlines since there are no sidequests but only the main one, but IMHO the story more then makes up for it.
There is a downside to this though, wich is the levelbosses wich can be extremely hard if you dont have the right equipment (wich you will have to buy ofcourse.. and since there is no secondary questing, all you get is from the main missions). For example i had a lot of trouble with Mercurio (vampire, who take damage a lot more from aggravated damage, while i had a weapon that did lethal damage), but it was extremely easy bashing down the Golem in the jewish quarters cause i had a weapon that did bashing damage etc etc.
*spoilers of the story ahead, though the depth and quality of the story cant be expressed could not be transferred without telling all of this... Dont worry though, there is much much more going on then just this*
Now, onto the story: Your Christoff, a crusader and soldier of God. One day during a battle near Prague you get shot by an unfriendly archer, so the company leaves you behind at Prague's convent to regain strength, and they want to pick you up later when they return. You get treated by a young nun called Anezka.
You both fall in love with eachother hopelessly, but since she is a nun there is no hope for the both of you. One night in the convent, you awake from screams in the next room, and as you walk over you see Anezka and another nun being threatened by Slachta's. (servitors of a demon in the silvermines nearby) You kill them, Bishop thanks you etc. After you've killed the demon in the mines, you are heralded in Prague as a great warrior.
However, in your glory you get noticed by the local vampire clans who all want you to fight for them, and the Brujah race to turn you into one of their own.
So there you are: a holy warrior, who lived for fighting for God, suddenly desecrated, became a creature of the night himself, the ones he hated so much and tried to exterminate.
Lost of all hope for himself, he falls into deep depression, he will never see Anezka again... Or so he thinks, as Anezka has left the convent and her holy duties in search of Christoff, as her love is simply to big, and she searches without fear amongst the creatures of the night (other vampire clans etc) to find you, but then dissapears...
