There's two series of fanpatches, there's the "True" patch and Wesp5's Unofficial Patch. The difference is that the "True" patch is straight-up bugfixes where Wesp5's patch is attempting to make the game more like his interpretation of what Troika originally wanted the game to be.
Uh, I was playing with the fanpatch and it clearly had two options to choose from - bugfixes and no content change and bugfixes and content change(Mostly balancing tweaks and stuff from what I gathered).

You're seriously not playing the hidden classic of 2004 just because you don't like that some of the characters dress a little gothy?
Could you seriously play a game, especially an RPG, where you don't even like your character?
The reason why I myself didn't get into Bloodlines right away was pretty similiar. I read handbook for Vampire as a kid and it was utterly and completely silly in it's oh god my soul woe my curse. Fortunately the game is nothing like this and fucking awesome.

For anyone who's never played this before-- Forget about building a ranged character on your first runthrough. The combat system
heavily favors melee. Plus you don't have to buy ammo.
Katana wielding Ventrue FTW. You can slice, dice, dominate, and charm.
And yes, the Steam version works perfectly well with the fan patches. I've played through it twice using two different patches, and it has yet to give me any trouble.

Ventrue are pansies. Tremere all the way, baby!

Closest thing to playing a Thief is the Nosferatu. Butt ugly, you scare people, end up having to hide all the time.

Only way to play the game is as a Malkavian.
With lots of points in talky skills and Dementation.

Ohhh I had fun with her, I maxed her out. Found this, and found that to add to your character, I had a blast with her, pun intended. :p ;)

Thankfully, the only thing I found really cringe-worthy, besides the industrial-rock soundtrack (which is only used in the clubs, right?) were the posters for shitty bands scattered everywhere. Considering the Whitewolf source-material is about as gay as you can get, I was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere and characters in the game.
