Redemption is much better but has a dated game engine. Bloodlines was on the source engine so it stayed relevant and scaled up to modern pcs.

Don't google any info on the game, just get the game, the latest patch, and go get one of the fan made hi-res texture packs. There are major spoilers that will ruin one of the best parts about the game if you read too much about it (including in the comments here). Try to play it completely blind as a medieval vampire slaying game.

It's a bit like KOTOR1, it has a lot of flaws (janky movement/combat) but there are some amazing moments that just wouldn't be the same if you knew about them before they happen. KOTOR2 and bloodlines are good games but they are just standard games, kotor1 & redemption have some "holy shit" story moments.

As long as they don’t use any Nintendo trademarks, it’s very similar to the Bleem! case, and, even if they do, there’s precedent for that, but they’ll need to retain a few level 99 lawyer demons. But, in the case of Bleem!, the court found it was totally legal, because the people who made the emulator never saw the original code, as was the case in the Tengen trial.
