Description

About the Run: Solo meaning: this game is played using the multiplayer options built into VtM:R but cannot be played online as Steam never designed a server when they bought the rights to sell the game.  100% meaning: no glitchy jumps or blatant skips, all hidden rooms and items, and all bosses.  Speedrun (record): meaning that within the parameters, I have crushed the previous record of 6.5 hours.  No cheats meaning: no glitchy movements to cheat the maps, no console commands, no storyteller options (except for 1 or 2 cosmetic uses), and no exploiting game mechanics.  No deaths meaning: if I died, I started over from scratch.

About the Game: Plot is 99.9% similar to base game, except for a couple small tweaks to only a couple quests.  Christof Romault, a zealous dark ages crusader, is wounded in battle and must rest at a monastery in Prague.  He forms a forbidden love with a nun, Anezka, which only adds to his misery after he is enlisted unwillingly by the creatures of the night.  Because his circumstance leaves him so devout, he believes his soul is condemned by this vampirification, and spends the rest of the game trying to redeem his soul (hence the title) and to rescue Anezka from an evil, rival clan of vampires.  The major difference with this mod is behavior of disciplines (the game's skills) and enemy behavior, some areas are harder than before, and some areas are made almost way too easy.

I rate this game 8.5/10.  Anyone who even just kind of likes RPGs should play this at least once, but it does have major mechanical flaws.  I of course understand that the controls of older games are rarely intuitive, so I don't begrudge that difficulty.  Less forgivable are programming errors such as a brightness bar that literally does nothing, if you want your brightness slider to work you must install a mod.  Other than that, for plot 10/10, gameplay 8/10 (the hack and slash nature of combat loses its luster after awhile), and for programming failures and bugs like crashes that come with the Age of Redemption mod I rate 6/10.  There is no ending sequence, for example, you kill the last boss and the enemy respawn timer begins.
