Same here, I saw a few of the cracks here and there but it didn't really bother me until season 7. It felt so much like night and day to me, it felt like I was watching a completely different show at times.
Some good classes I'd recommend would be either a paladin or a ranger. Paladins are good healers and tanks, I found them pretty easy to adapt to when getting into the game. If you aren't comfortable with the playing as fighter and you want to play something similar to a rouge the ranger is a good alternative. They have aspects of rouges but they also have an animal companion and can really help in situation where you have an enemy charging at you and instead of having to constantly run away from you can stand your ground while your buddy helps to take them down.
I can't really comment too much on mages or rouges as I've never really delved deep into those classes.
Today I enjoyed the weather outside with my dog. He has been dying to go out for a longer walk after his surgery a few weeks ago. Then I found out there is a severe snow storm heading into my area tomorrow. So much for nice weekend weather.
I have decided to replay Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines with the official patch. Hopefully this time I will be able to play it from start to finish with nothing game breaking like the last time I played.
No problem Lady Crimson. I'm still pretty curious about these changes and it doesn't seem like there is cohesive guide anywhere of all the changes. Only way to see it is to poke around.
