Is it possible to marry a vampire? Does the Masquerade, or even society for that matter, frown upon such things?

>>507947326wow this looks awful

>>507948795I think in universe vamps dont feel much sexual desire.Though they can do blood bonds/oaths which is near unbreakable once its complete. That being said though, its more like emotional slavery than marriage.

>>507947326I liked the trailer desu, hope they fixed the fucking gameplay.

>>507948624Got'em

>>507948795can you romance a vampire chick with a dick?

>>507948795She looked better in the E3 demo what the fuck happened? This looks like it was made in SFM

this has to be the worst fucking trailer ive seen and im a long time vampire fan

>>507949834It's actually a bit more complicated than that.For starters, VTM:B got the lore completely wrong. About the only thing they did get right was that one line from Jeanette where she says "Well, it's a bit different."In the P&P game and lore (Generally, with some exceptions), Vampires can give themselves a "Blush of Life" by consuming blood points. Generally, the more humanity they have, the easier this is. When using BoL, it basically causes their body to function as if it were alive for brief periods of time, including warming up the body and making the skin appear less pale to better blend into human society, and responding to stimulus the way a living body would. They use this to have sex and plenty of vampires, especially Toreador, use this as a means of feeding during sex.Blush of life to have sex. Spend blood.Feed on human partner during sex.Have more blood for more blush.Repeat with the next.Every night is now a long string of orgies.The more humanity a vampire has the easier it is to have sex and feel pleasure from it.The more of a monster they are, the harder it is.A blood starved vampire isn't feeling anything from sex. And odds are if they got that close to a human to bone in private, they'd end up skipping they sex altogether and just feeding because they're fucking starving.

>>507952379Seen better looking SFM porn desu

>>507950780Yeah but the lore also says that over time vampires will find it harder to properly create human style bodily fluids and that eventually the only thing they can use is bloodSo sex would be like period sex but infinitely more messy

>>507947326this trailer actually makes it look like this'll be more of an RPG than Cyberfuck

>>507953795The Convention of Thorns was a peace agreement between leaders of the Camarilla, the Anarchs and the Assamite clan made on October 23, 1493. It marked the end of open conflict between the three groups, and more specifically an end to the first Anarch Revolt. It specified that while no Anarchs would face reprisals for their actions (except for the especially heinous, which would be considered by the Justicars within a year or forgotten), they would have to return to their clans and sires, reestablishing the status quo they had rebelled against. Anarchs of the Lasombra and Tzimisce clans did not accept the Convention, however, and went on to form the Sabbat; a number of Anarchs from other clans followed suit and became the first antitribu.

>>507947326>Looks like rpgs are back on the menu boys.LUL

>>507954137Lasombra never seemed evil enough to join the sabbat.

>>507947326I'm gonna admit, as janky and bad as the models for the corpses are, I was genuinely worried they were gonna play this game too safe.Now if only we could get a good gameplay trailer or at least a better indication on how the atmosphere is gonna be I might have hope.

It's completely believable as a club in real life, sure. It's not gritty though. VTMB clubs were all sleazy and dirty.

>>507947326animations still looking absolutely awful

>>507954926They are social Darwinists and crave power. The Sabbat suited them because they were really the only ones who could rein it in and give it some kind of direction. The Tzimisce are mostly self-invovled, and the antitribu is directionless rabble. Also keep in mind the sabbat was not funded as the evil faction, but was originally intended as a continuation of the Anarch revolt after the Anarchs capitulated to Camarilla demand, as outlined above by the other user, but this freedom included the freedom for kindred to indulge in their basest desires. So even after the faction went to shit it was still seen less as being "evil" and more a rejection of limitations. Which is also ironic considering how strict and hierarchical the inner-body of the Sabbat became.

WHY TF WOULD I SIDE WITH UGLY PEOPLE WTF UGLY PEOPLE NEED TO DIE.I swear i'm gonna get an ulcer, it's so CONFUSING, women are the ones who should be ugly and men the ones attractive, that's how it's been since 2014.

They don't get to make me invested in a character by showing me the trailer, concept art, models, etc and then show an ENTIRE DIFFERENT VERSION, he doesn't even look like how he's advertised on their main page.I am a ventrue fag at heart, of course I wanted to side with the prince and the Camarilla. Why tf would I want to side with a nosferatu human shrek piece of shit now!? They ruined him.Same as you guys seethe when women in vidya are ugly, I seethe when they do it with men, but this isnot just any man but literally the only decent male character in the entire game, since all the others are either randoms, women, or Mr Damp who's probably trans.

>>507957669If you say so. I'm a graphic fag and love when things look good. We're in 2020. We don't have flying cars the least we could have is good looking games. But even companies without a budget like the one that made Kingdom Come could deliver us a game that looks according to the time it came out.VTMB2 used the budget on something that i've no idea what it is.Because it sure as hell aren't the graphics or character models, it sure as hell wasn't the character creator, it sure as hell wasn't combat and they even left 2 clans outside of the game and are forcing us to play thin blood for 50% of the game so it's not as if the RPG and clan features will actually matter since they are very end game.

>>507958518its probably done because people complained about the more serious tones of the first trailer and they want to show that it wont take itself too seriously like the first game.

>>507947326Anyone else thought this looked like sims?There is something weird about the animations and character models.

>>507955434isn't all the stuff from the original just part of the 90s aesthetic? you don't see it at all anymore

>>507958436Heh

>>507958648Yeah but they still got it wrong. The first game took itself seriously in time but had some wacky aspects and humour. It wasn't overtly silly.

>>507958648But why was that Ventrue guy also dancing?It seemed like it was some parody video.Doesn't help that the animations looked absolutely awful

>>507958648The first game took itself seriously, it just had satire in betweenThere's a difference between having a lighter tone every once in a while and being disingenuous trash that prides itself on not taking itself seriously because they know that if they were serious people would laugh at them

>>507956506Seems like the auto aim is fucked, since it's locking onto the enemy but trailing behind them as they move, so it's missing most of the shots at the start. That or the enemies hitbox is fucked.

>>507959142the idea of dlc clans makes me uneasy, because I want your clan to be something that people will bring up in conversation, something that will come up in the story, I can't imagine that sort of thing happening with added after the fact clans.

>>507958093>I'm a graphic fagOpinion disregarded.

>>507959374new to paradox?

>>507959374Yeah, I'd love to play Lasombra or Gangrel but this game is shaping up to be pretty lame. How much is the Devs themselves or paradox meddling though I don't know.

>>507959428This aint a grand strat game, integrating it seamlessly into the existing game will take a tad more than some text boxes, new dialogue will have to be inserted into the existing game if they don't want it to have as much impact as the fucking antitribu mod, and frankly your clan should be one of the most important things about you.

>>507960009Vampire communities are usually rather small, so the list of suspects doesn't tend to be massive, you have to remmember that the ideal vampire to human ratio is about 1 to 100,000, when you get over that your going to start running into problems with feeding without getting attention and staying lost in the crowd.And when there's a masquerade violation the camerilla is likely the one cleaning up the resulting mess so they're going to have opportunity to access witnesses.

>>507960009In the table top setting there are about 10 to 20 vampires max in a big city, less in smaller ones, and maybe only one vampire in a large town and he would be there to keep a low profile. The video games can give the impression of world overflowing with vampires because they need a steady stream of enemies. You can think of a vampire community as like a country town where everyone knows each other's business, except located inside a major city.

>>507960824And if there's a masquerade violation and an unknown vampire is in town he's probably getting ashed because the camerilla requires newcomers to introduce themselves to the local prince upon arrival to a city.That being said, bloodlines is set in L.A which in L.A by night is expressly stated to have a worsening overpopulation problem that the anarchs aren't sure how to deal with since they don't want to tell people to stop making new vampires and bringing friends into town buuut....

>>507960946The vampire discipline dominate can be used to force a confession from someone, but it would have to be performed by a powerful vampire. It generally works on humans but vampires are more resistant.

>>507960845The death of satire isn't confined to this place. Nobody can take a joke any more unless it's something they agree with (and usually not actually funny, see lefty "comedians" and right wing things like stonetoss).

>>507961898He did literally everything wrong, namely trying to have you killed multiple times despite being such a valuable asset.

>>507962483You are misinformed. You start as a thinblood with three thinblood abilities. You the diablierize one kindred from a specific clan and gain those abilities. Not all clan abilities.

>>507962740That's a cgi render.

>>507962364How so, that's more bioware. Obsidian tended to usually make you more just some who's strong or has a unique power but there's other gigachads like you (Lanius, Graham, Ulysses) or your power is rare but not one of a kind (pillars with your spirit shit).

Honestly anons, I'm straight up just not buying the game anymore. It looks pretty disappointing. Completely different vibe from the original trailer.

>>507963042>thinking the original trailer was good

>Trailer shows basically zero gameplay aside from a few super fast millisecond cuts of jumps and HORRIBLY animated floaty and shivering characters that look like they are cut out straight from 2010's Mafia II. >Writing is full of personal politics and panlesbianhelicopter self insertions. >Three versions at release advertised like a one click hoster premium model and clans that couldn't be easily made by copypasting a new model with different abilities on the "player" template are cut out and will be "DLC".>DLC shit in general. >No real weapons or guns, obviously was also to difficult to work out.>Not really any footage besides one short disastrous gameplay flick.>ParajewOh boy.

>>507963576The cutoff point was 2 centuries + a strong enough social position and assets. Pretty sure Lacroix is over 2 centuries old since he got turned somewhere in 1815 and the game takes place in 2004.

>>507964207>looks choppy as fuckYou are completely right about that one. Compare it to the previous gameplay trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=9dz0c0UsmnQMaybe the choppiness is "the power of the Xbox" or something.

>>507964404he'd be shy of two centuries, and I'm pretty sure it was three for the cutoff, but even ignoring the age issue, he clearly doesn't have the status for it, or he wouldn't need to be coming out west to try and force his way into his own princedom in hostile territory, even strauss calls him a neonate, he's clearly not commanding any respect in the camerilla as a whole.

>>507964647Is the age only counted since you got turned, or is your mortal life added to it? If it's the latter then he's over 2 centuries.Regardless, he is still an elder. He's 7th generation, has a 7th generation nagloper slave, swat squadrons at his command and at least a dozen more ventrue vampires working for him.LaCroix is plenty strong.

>>507947326Who is this semen demon?

>>507962354Honestly, when I asked, I was expecting an answer more like D&D's Ring of Truth or whatever the fuck. It slipped my mind that Dominate could be used to force truth.

>>507965015Giraffe neck.

>>507964967Vampires do not give a shit about your mortal years, and yeah that shit worked out so well for him, tell me, in which endings does he survive? oh right, none of them, infact it's been canonized that Jack blew him sky high in the lore.Face it, he tried to muscle into anarch territory because it was the only way he'd ever get his hands on a princedom, and then proceeded to fail.

So what's the factions in this game? There's obviously the mommy simp faction like bannerlord has, but who are the others?

>>507947326Looks like Yennefer

>>507962740She looks the same in the most recent trailer, as brief and remote as her appearance may have been.

>>507965015Elif, a Tremere and one of the representatives of "The Newcomers" faction.

>>507950390I think it was, or at least in some other animation software. A few scenes from the new trailer look like standalone animations made by a third party specifically for the trailer, and not actual gameplay.

>>507965289She really doesn't.

>>507964258I think CDPR is playing 4d chess with the jew.

>>507965269well lets see, the sabbat are basically gone as of v5, so it'll be nu-camerilla and anarchs I guess? there's been some clan shakeups in v5, like how a whole bunch of tremere split off and fucked off to anarch turf to become a coven of witches or some shit after the US government bombed the main tremere chantry in venice and declared the vampire menace dealt with.

>>507964207Yeah it looks like they just dump the gameplay footage from here youtube.com/watch?v=QEYGez6JLZ8

>>507965269The Pioneers, The Camarilla, The Baron, The Newcomers and The Unseen. They are described in detail on the Bloodlines 2 webpage.

>>507965404>US government bombed the main tremere chantry in venice and declared the vampire menace dealt with.Wait what, now the vampires are known to the public?

>>507965351Really tries to look like Yennefer without looking too much like Yennefer

>>507965289Looks more like GERALDO

>>507947326Oh, hello Yennefer.

>>507965497No but secretive government agencies caught wind of their bullshit and made some... largely incorrect assumptions, they thought the tremere were the vampire leadership.Masquerade enforcement is actually harsher now because of that, the camerilla won't even let vampires own non burner phones if they can help it.

>>507947326You say that as though it is a good thing...

>>507965497The existence of vampire is still top secret. Think Men in Black and aliens.

>>507965674>No but secretive government agencies caught wind of their bullshit and made some... largely incorrect assumptions, they thought the tremere were the vampire leadership.>Masquerade enforcement is actually harsher now because of that, the camerilla won't even let vampires own non burner phones if they can help it.Cool lore. Shame the new game appears to focus on running up the sides of buildings, doing backflips, and transforming in to a giant bat to land on people.

The fact that this will be playable on a controller is a bad sign, and the combat will probably be a worse Bioshock thing. Hopefully they wrote some good stories and characters to make up for it.

Do you think they'll spoil major plot points if you play as a Malkavian in this game as well?

>>507965890Malkavians aren't allowed to be interesting because it's offensive to schizosAt most you'll have a panic attack and even the most evil ruthless Tzimisce vampire trying to kill you will stop to comfort you or some other shit

>>507965872It's not like the first couldn't be played on a controller

>>507966947They really always kinda did, they just... gave the Camerilla and Sabbat nods and cooperation where appropriate while minding their own business and building ever greater subterrainian fortresses to protect themselves from THEM.

>>507965497Not really. This is how much Bob Schnoblin "knew" in V20, he was of course looked upon as a lunatic by the rest of the CIA.In V5 they know much more apparently. Haven't bothered to look into the newer lore.

>>507966947They were always more loyal to the clan itself than either camarilla, anarchs or sabbat

>>507966947Anon, every clan has its own structure and interests. You're surprised the designated CIA-alikes have their own plans? That was even a thing in Bloodlines.

>>507966947They have set the game in Seattle which has traditionally been independent. The Nos globally are still with the cammies, but their presence in seattle, like most vampires, predates the camarilla's entry in to the city, so yeah there is a independent nos clan present there.

>>507967126>vampire nunsWhy my dick hard

>>507967126They know vampires exist and that they have a secret society, they don't really know much in the way of details about them besides that, like I said, they thought they decapitated the vampiric leadership when they blew up the tremere's primary chantry.

>>507967525It's a bit more nuanced than that, Sex is still sex, but they have to simulate it by spending blood on it, and then it's just unsatisfying and unfullfilling, and then the clincher is that they experience much greater euphoria and sexual pleasure just from drinking vitae so.. it kinda just becomes a thing only really degenerate kindred do because it's just straight up inferior to biting a mortal, or Ravnos who have the worst vice because it only frustrates them.

>>507947326Why did they ripoff W3 Yennefer so blatantly?

>>507967727>or Ravnos who have the worst vice because it only frustrates them.Elaborate? Is their propensity for crime like a Toreador thing where they all secretly resent not being cool enough bank-robbers?

>>507968083Ravnos as a clan weakness all come with a "vice" they have to make checks not to compulsively indulge in, oh and they're rather hilairiously a clan that mostly come from gypsy stock so you know, there's that.Most of them got wiped out during the week of nightmares when their antedeluvian woke up and had to be nuked into submission, just having the big daddy awake killed most of them.

>>507968083I love how the designated gypsy clan has a trait of being thieves. It's straight up racist in a way that's kind of hilarious, especially when white wolf are all about social justice shit.

>>507956506for real though - is this webm supposed to make fun of the game or the guy playing it? Because i am laughing at the player here

>>507968886Salubri are the resident moralfags, whenever they have childer they usually finish off by asking to be diablerized, it's a thing, they also can only drink from the willing and if an tremere sees that third eye he's going to go apeshit and mobilize the clan, they don't have it easy.SPEAKING OF TREMERE, in one endtime scenario tremere gets bodyjacked by Salubri, he was diablerized by tremere in the dark ages to elevate them into being a real clan, the tremere were considered absolute dogshit until the founding of the camerilla because of that.

>>507969232It's more a problem with how companies get footage for trailers and previews, they absolutely do not want to move the camera around in any jerky kind of way (like aiming for a headshot against a moving target) because it would spoil the smoothness of the shot.

What happened to that Werewolf game?

>>507967709>No word on licensed music>Only one club was shown up to this pointGood, nightclubs are cringe incarnate as well as using licenced music.

>>507969651I can only assume it's fucking dead, non vtm white wolf games always end up that way, and even most vtm games, it's a fucking miracle we got two as is, well, coming on three now.

>>507956956She is probably gangrel. Older gangrel vampires have eyes like that

I'm trying to not make any assumptions until the game is actually out but man these trailers and the shit they talk about don't inspire any confidence. It's like looking at a smaller scale 2077.

>>507969851She's a tremere.

>>507947872Kys homo, enjoy your street shitter

I just want the game to come out honestly. I really want to like it, even if they botvhed up Lou and the Ventrue boss. As a aMalkavian I like the obvious Vandal stand-in and hope he's actually interesting instead of the whole HAHA WACKY MURDER WOOHOO. Also, as a Paradox fan (I have thousands of hours at eu4 and Hoi$, but I still fucking hate their marketing team with a passion), I think they can hypothetically pull something like this off, because most of their actual devs are clearly passionate if you've watched their streams.

>>507970556its and alpha

>>507970717Antifa but they're furries

>>507970717I mean, they're eco-warriors fighting a losing war against an infinitely large enemy.

>>507970841they're also tree huggers so they're based

>>507969232>>507970556It's both since it's being played by journo as well iirc.

Everything about it looks so shit... I cant believe it but I will enjoy it.

>>507965240No I'm not defending him I'm just saying he was actually strong. He "potentially" survives in the camarilla ending as well.

>>507968753Jesus christ this shit just makes me laugh.

>>507971134It'll be a smaller scale cyberpunk 2077 on release, board will be swamped with OH NO NO NO NO threads and sperging about all the tranny shit in the game.

>>507970539Because WW hates the idea of unique mechanics for different clans.>Lasombra with cool shadow powers ? No, they must summon the undead, and Giovanni must also control the shadows>Malkavian with dementation ? No, dominate, dementation is very problematic>Thinblood are weak vampires ? No, special snow flakes capable of copying any discipline without problem, they can also turn into mist form and summon small animals at will>Fleshcrafting exclusive to Tzimisce ? No, fleshcrafting is a generic ability that everyone has, even thinbloods

>>507947326So with the way this world works all Vampires need to be part of that group with the suits right? What if you're some hermit who lives in the mountains who more or less follows those rules but doesn't actually "join". They cool with ya?

>>507971185The exact ending is unclear for the canon but Beckett's jyhad diary comments on how jack had to skip town after blowing up the tower, he's hanging out at an anarch colony off the coast of africa pretending he's a pirate again.

>>507971969blah blah blah

>>507971531Vampires are tend to avoid rural areas because that is where Werewolves live. And in this setting Werewolves are super powered organic war machines that act as the earth's immune system, and vampires stink of corruption.A vampire sticking out on their own is not unheard of though, they are called Autarks. They might set up shop in small city in a flyover state where they are the only vampire within 50 miles, or they might lay low in Anarch territory, Anarchs will mostly leave them be. Camarilla consider all vampires under their auspice so the don't take no for an answer, while Sabbat will not even have the courtesy to ask the question.

>>507971402They've said shit about being respectful of mental illness with malks since the original made jokes about it, like getting mad at the sign.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-07-31-improving-the-depiction-of-mental-illness-in-vampire-the-masquerade>Then there's this notorious line of dialogue with spoken by a Malkavian player character to a stop sign in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: "You've made a powerful enemy today, sign!">Bloodlines, released 15 years ago, made mental illness the butt of many jokes when playing as a character from the deranged Malkavian clan -- the dialogue for which was infamously written in a very short span of time.>"I think more time could have been spent developing [these characters] at the time, but their presentation in the first game is due more to the strain of having to get them out quickly," writer Brian Mitsoda tells us. "I think people still enjoy the unique experience of them, but I don't think they're a great examination of mental illness and shouldn't be held up as one.">In 2020, four and a half years of effort will pay off in the release of the sequel to the game that first gained him notoriety 15 years ago. All of these years haven't just taught him about how long it takes to breathe life into a game like this, though. It's also about finding an outlet and learning to punch up instead of down. With Bloodlines 2 on the horizon, he now wants to be more considerate in portraying mental illness.

>>507971969So they're really gonna fuck up Malks then? The whole fun was being a prophetic lunatic. Did people with a mental illness actually get offended by that shit? Does DC's Joker offend them too? What about Deadpool? Crazy Eights? Fish Eyes?

>>507971441>Fleshcrafting exclusive to Tzimisce ? No, fleshcrafting is a generic ability that everyone has, even thinbloodsVery fucking funny nigger.

>>507971969>male power fantasy of BloodlinesI'm sorry what

>>507971531some (((clans))) blend into the society, others don't Nosferatu are original ugly sneaky hackers who live underground but it seems to me they're not in VtMB2 (shame if so)

>>507971531>>507972112Hey anons what does being part of the Camarilla actually mean?>Follow the rules or dieOr >Do X for me when asked

>>507947326It's too bad I don't actually like WoD shit anymore after dealing with too many fucking retarded ass real world LARPers.

>>507971969So are Nosferatus off the table because ugly people exist?

>>507971987Lmao mommy simps getting cucked as well>>507972309Properly thinking of Heather and you can have her walking around in her nightwear and is sort of a slave. Even though that's not gender exclusive.

>>507972370Both generally, many a VtM campaign starts with the player party being tasked by the prince to do something or other, it's very standard.

>>507970609Every vampire in the trailer had colored eyes, the business woman also had purple eyes.>>507971753>>507972000>>507972282Every discipline that allows the reshape of flesh falls under vicissitude category, god knows the fuck they were thinking, whoever this could be an early draft, and thinbloods can change gender at will.

>>507947326i find it so funny that the trailer actually baited brain dead coomers to think this shit will be anything heterosexual friendlyfaggots, this game will be the epitome of SJWs and ugly saved head women. Read the fucking articles about the devs,you imbeciles

>>507972112>Camarilla consider all vampires under their auspice so the don't take no for an answernot as of V5, apparently now the Camarilla has strict requirements to join and prospecting members slave away for them in hopes to join, god I hate V5.

>>507972546Post some proof, I can't believe something that sounds so retarded without actual proof.

>>507972370Officially you're just supposed to follow the rules but in reality it's a clusterfuck of favours and threats and all that

>>507972370Both. You are mostly autonomous and left alone so long as you keep the masquerade, but you will likely be doing the bidding of your sire from time to time, and turning down an order from the local prince is borderline suicide if you are not a Primogen or of equal or lower generation (lower gen = more power).

>>507972337They are but they don't look like literal monsters anymore. More deformed or horribly scarred if anything.

>>507972810I don't get why people keep citing generation as direct power, it mostly effects the size of your blood pool and if it's extremely low, the cap on advanced disciplines.being 5th gen isn't going to save you from getting axed by a 9th gen prince if your other stats are shite and you don't have any political backing.

>>507972737He's right about the gender changing thing, i played V5Ironically enough you have to brutally mutilate your genitals and then use a thinblood potion to do it, thinbloods can also get most disciplines temporarily by sucking blood

>>507972846Which is fucking stupid, they're called Nosferatus not Very Ugly Hobos

>tfw won't have a absolute bro like Mercurio in 2It hurts.

Attached: Mercurio.png (882x882, 668.76K)

>>507972846depends HOW deformed we're talking, to be honest a lot of bloodlines 1 nossies were a bit too nice, they come with an automatic appearance rating of 0, an ugly person gets 1, a normal guy is like a 2.They're supposed to look captial F fucked, some of them whose embraces don't go terribly well end up too deformed to function, it's an agonizing process that takes place over a week or so.

>>507973275Concerning?

>>507973056>thinbloods can also get most disciplines temporarily by sucking bloodFUCKING WHY, HOW IS THAT FUN? WHAT'S THE POINT OF PICKING A CLAN THEN?

>>507973349Specifically?

>>507973046Because lowgen neonates are exceedingly rare in the modern era. Chances are if you are encountering a low gen vamp you are also encountering a very old vamp who is skilled at jyhad, most likely survived multiple assassination attempts, and generally managed to dodge all the usual traps that make being a Vampire in WoD the form of Immortality with the shortest life span.

>>507956506that is som fallout tier gunplay

>>507972242lowring expectation is best, this ain't going to be the worthy vtmb1 successor people expected. the videogame market is different and doesn't aims to please and actually expand on the first game mechanic and have even more content, it's about streamlining. character customization is just the player choosing between different hair/eye/chin instead of sliders and sculpting it.malkavian are going to be boring ass realistic depiction of the boring ass mentally ill folk IRL>>507972486they're not, they plan on adding more clan through dlc

>>507956704>stillThey look even worse now.

>>507971583I don't give a fuck about the "canon" since V5 is also canon.

>>507973275Why was he such a bro though? Why would he help you after you've got a blood hunt called on you? It's not like he didn't know, he outright mentions it when you visit him after it happens but still aids you.

>>507973434Who exactly?I don't think I've ever ratted out Mercurio on any of my playthroughs, even when playing a low humanity/evil vampire. How can anyone fuck him over like that.

>>507973459That's more to do with their age than their generation, generation is just a stat at the end of the day, whereas an elder is going to have a ton of disciplines, many of them outside of his clan, just as a matter of course, and big ol stats, and lots of allies and behind the scenes pawns.The main thing such an elder gets out of being low enough gen is access to level 6 and up disciplines, which can get pretty zany.

>>507973730He was one of those gangsters that values loyalty a lot. He knew from personal experience working with you that the blood hunt was horseshit.Psychic Bitch tells you he's trustworthy in the beginning of the game for a reason.
