I know, I know. Another VR mod. There are already a few on this sub, and you might be tired of seeing them. Fair enough. But those are for Quest 3 standalone, and this one is for PCVR of the original game.
VTMB VR is a free, unofficial PCVR mod for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, and version 0.5 is now out as a public preview. It runs through SteamVR on your PC (with experimental VDXR support).
You play the game in stereo 3D with head tracking and aim with your motion controller. You have a full first-person body, so you can look down and see your chest, and your guns sit in your character's grip. Feeding happens in first person. The inventory, barter screen, character sheet, map and character creation open as panels in the headset. You pick dialogue with the controller and hack terminals on a keyboard you can grab. Scripted camera shots and stealth kills can optionally play on a flat screen in front of you. Keyboard and mouse also work in the headset.

You need: Windows, a Vulkan-capable GPU, your own copy of the game (Steam or GOG) with Unofficial Patch 11.5, SteamVR and motion controllers.
Setup: extract the ZIP into the folder with Vampire.exe (back up any existing d3d9.dll, openvr_api.dll, openxr_loader.dll and VR folder first), start SteamVR, and add -vr to the launch options. Full steps are in the readme.
This is a preview. I've played the full tutorial with SteamVR on Valve Index and Oculus headsets. Other SteamVR headsets should work but are less tested, and native OpenXR and Virtual Desktop (VDXR) are experimental.
Known limitations: no physical melee or gestures, no roomscale collision and no physical crouch. Left-handed mode uses simpler hands. Some scripted camera moments may briefly feel off, and the 2D cutscene option can help.
