What it does take from VTM:B (and indeed improves on over it) is the use of non-combat skills in particular persuasion which gives you some fairly major benefits.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
33 of 272 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and sound are serviceable and there's plenty of voice acting which generally falls into the better end of VA quality, a (pleasant) surprise for a small budget game like this.
Characters
