Any male blood dolls?
I recall playing this a while back, Unofficial Path 7.6 I believe, and was surprised how many female blood dolls there were (all of which were happy to go with women, too). Now I'm back at 9.2, can't help but wonder if that's changed. It seems a bit lacking for straight women and gay men (or their roleplayed characters), is all. Are there any male blood dolls, aside from the tow-truck waiting guy who disappears part way through? If not, any mods out there that add them? Failing that, I do have some sound recording software, a willing friend with a decent voice, and seeing this patch also includes modding tools, I could have a look to see if I could make one (and upload it, of course).

I noticed that too... For what it's worth, for the vamps any gender preference is pure habit, as they don't usually feel lust for anything other than blood (some Toreador and Malks aside). Of course, that doesn't really address the gender imbalance, but it might explain a sudden lack of concern IC.

Î added a male blood doll to the Red Dragon in Chinatown because I found info in the map file that Troika intended to place one there, but as a restorations it's plus patch only...

Ah, ok, cheers for the info, wesp. Thank you for the amazing patch and restorations too; it's amazing that you've managed to both support the game and be involved in the community for so long. :)

In regards to anyone interested in this mod, I'll do the script and voice acting today, and look into what may need to be done to create the character itself (it won't be indepth; just along the lines of those girls you can flirt with and feed off in bars). If it's something I don't think I'll have time to do (or perhaps lack the understanding of doing; I've only made a few mods before, and nothing for a Source engine), I'll upload the voice files/script so others may take up the work if they so like.

There is a male blood doll that your ghoul brings you & locks in your bathroom. If you don't kill him or let him go he stays there. If you kill him & tell her she did a good job she will keep bringing you men to feed on.

I don't think this is true, she will only bring you this one guy...

I've had playthroughs where she brought him more than once, at least I think I have... I told her to clean up the mess & later she brought another guy. I dunno, it's been a while since my last playthrough.

Hey, just giving you guys an update. I don't think this is something I can make myself as, well, I know jack about programing in Python, so instead I'm going to upload the voice files and script as a resource for anyone who feels they can mod in a blood doll. I've written the script entirely, and have 90% of the voice acting done (but have to re-do it due to a mic issue, unfortunately).

I'll put links up when these are ready (due to scheduling issues, it'll have to be in a fortnight unfortunatelty; can't re-do the voice work til then).

Curious, Wesp - got any tips on programming a blood doll in the SDK, or perhaps any interest in doing this sort of thing yourself? I was thinking of just putting it in Santa Monica.

To create a blooddoll you would need VPKTools and a new dlg file. But I won't do it, as Troika only planned one for the Chinatown hub. For whatever reasons...

A wild guess: Troika is almost a men entirely developer company? :D

I recall reading somewhere they did have a few more things planned, but Activision asked them to nix some things early in development. It was the early 00's, so I can understand the idea that women don't play games and why some of the lines were written/coded the way they were.

Well, I respect you for only wanting to stick to Trioka's original vision, Wesp. You've done a fantastic job more or less making this game playable, and basically being single-handidly responsible for ithe game and it's community still being alive and kicking today. Cheers.
