I wonder how many people I would have to actually punch before they realised and made a sequel to this game 
Maybe if I just started assaulting people at random, word might get out that I'm really serious about this.

There is no chance a sequel is going to be as good as it is going to be made for modern kids full of stupid shit kids today enjoy.

This is actually one the best games I've ever played. A true masterpiece. It's a shame it was released too early, and that there will probably never be a true sequel.
Maybe they could port it to a modern engine with all of Wasp fixes and call it a new game 
Clearly you are confused or aren't paying attention. Did you know, all the owners work for Obsidian except one, who works for them as a contractor. Also, many past employees both management and tech, work for Obsidian. Did you also know the Vampire/White Wolf franchise rights were just sold, within the last year? Oh and the new owner is looking for someone to make a new Vampire game.

I think his point is that the gameplay might be much different if a sequel were made today, i.e. it's going to be more of what's going on in gaming today. I happen to agree with that to an extent. Maybe I'm pessimistic about sequels/remakes of classic RPGs, but I think making a game like VtM:B or Arcanum is just a very tall task for any developer today, in more ways than one. Those games are not only incredibly unique (even compared to what was happening in their day), but also more complex in some ways than RPGs are, even today.
That said, I loved PoE, Wasteland 2 was great and I have very high hopes for PoE 2, Bard's Tale IV and Wasteland 3.
You misunderstood as Fluent pointed.Clearly you are confused or aren't paying attention. Did you know, all the owners work for Obsidian except one, who works for them as a contractor.

Also Obsidian already said they are not working on new Vampire game and nobody knows Paradox will use the Vampire licence they bought to make Bloodlines 2.

Y'all might be correct, I misunderstand. Personally my point was it's the same people for the most part and I think your point was it can't be done in today's business environment. Of course we aren't even talking about the state of the games at release, just the 'quality of and intent of the game'.
As mentioned teams like Obsidian and inXile are intentionally bringing those style and substance games to release. So, afaik that is most of your point. Now if your saying they will never be as good, I'd argue you aren't in a position to know, no offense. Even if Obsidian and inXile never make a game as good as Arcanum or Bloodlines, you might be right but once again you might be wrong. If it's possible, then who else but the same people who made those specific games could do it again.
Obsidian can't say if they are working on it or not, if it's in the contract. Hell, they might be required to say, "we are not working on it". There's no way in hell Paradox isn't going to make another Bloodlines game. It's the most successful vampire game made and the team who made it is looking for work, correct? Paradox are clearly not dumb, they just wrangled one of the biggest and longest running game franchises in history. Clearly not to be set on the mantle.

Nonsense. Plenty of modern games are well designed with astounding level of detail and recognized for it, by fans and critics...take Witness for instance.
Far more likely people would highlight the negatives above all else, vice versa for older titles. Like with Malkavian dialogue: 75% of it was rubbish, but only "funny lines" are remembered.
VtM is a good and unique game, but also comes with a mountain of issues.
