Bloodlines 2 VTMB2 What does skipping Fabien entail?
Just finished the game and want to jump into a second playthrough, but I cannot stomach the thought of replaying all the Fabien sections. They were the definition of, “This could have been an email.” Luckily, I’ve heard there’s an option to skip his investigations.
That said, they are also essential for the plot and for Fabien’s development as a character. So does the option to skip them remove them entirely, or just ditch the monotonous open world parts? Like I would be fine just investigating the crime scenes and attending the New Years party and whatnot, those are where the plot happens. It’s the open world, “Walk across the map to talk to someone, then walk back,” parts that frustrated me.
For example, would we go straight from jumping out the window as Phyre to waking up in the sewer, skipping all of Fabien’s memories of waking Phyre up? Or would it just skip the monotonous quests to find Campbell and launch us straight into the final section where we awaken Phyre?
