Basically anything Cara Ellison (and one or two others) ever said about the game in interviews or forum posts.

Because being known for a brand of half-assed game wikis thrown together so sloppily that they border on detrimental just screams trustworthiness.

He still confirms it's a walking sim with often times uninspired sidequests.
Also indirectly confirms the 50+ sidequests Mitsoda wrote over 2 years (per LinkedIn) were thrown out and not even dissected for partial integration into the game. That's another strike against it. Completely throwing out the original creators work on sidequests when your game has terrible sidequests. And that the storytelling format is a bit tedious with flashbacks where you talk to someone, then after the flashback you talk to the same person again-- and this type of storytelling repeats throughout the game.
Most poignant is the game would sell better as a different VtM game. Instead people will just wait for Bloodlines 2, again.

Paradox games are always jank at first. They are woke as fuck, but they can overcome it at times. Maybe this will become a game I want to play eventually, but fuck no on day one.

I don't even know if I still have my old cards. That game was fun, but only knew maybe four other people that played it back in the 90s.

So apparently there is an original Hardsuit Labs version of Bloodlines 2 (the real sequel before Paradox pulled it from the studio and gave it to the walking-sim guys)
The Hardsuit Labs sequel needed work on combat-- which was part of the reason Paradox knee-jerked the project away from them. But the actual elements of Bloodlines are all there in the original design.
All of this was deleted and thrown out (see Mitsoda) in favor of the "decent to mediocre combat" walking-sim we ended up getting.
Fans are asking for the original game to be released as a mod or DLC.
We're talking about hundreds of quests and dialogue that was cut in favor of the narrow on-rails walking simulator.
