            Goth/Emo/Scene culture was at it's hottest during the 2000s. Most people would just assume the walking corpse to be one of those types and think nothing more.

    I'm calling it now:
    1. Brujah (safe option)
    2. Toreador (safe option)
    3. Ventrue (safe option)
    4. Lasombra (They want a clan that's not familiar to fans of Bloodlines 1 as they said in their last announcement) Also the TTRPG session before the re-reveal had a Lasombra character
    Paid DLC:
    Nosferatu (they want to change gameplay a little bit but not too much as it requires extra effort and it's an incentive for you to buy the DLC)
    Pre-order DLC:
    Tremere (safe and doesn't require effort)

    Malks are out as they're too problematic and you have a voiced protagonist with a voice in their head already. Half the fun of Malks in VTMB1 was reading the writing for the character. The voiced character would just be weird.

        I bet there will be no nossies, it would alter the appearance of their unique snowflake OC too much plus it would be too hard and bothersome to make when you can just reuse the same model for everything else.

          I actually think there will be nossies. As the expansion is a different character so they won’t reuse the same model of the main NPC. They won’t have Malks as it triggers people too much

            The way they talked about the clan we haven't seen before sounds much more like Lasombra being the standalone DLC clan to me. It's a new clan so it's perfect for the "bonus" content, you can still reuse the model so there's no need to put in effort, and you can use the shadow powers freely because you don't need to worry how they would've affected the way you play the main story.

          Nosferatu seems like perfect DLC bait, they were one of most memorable and cool clans and any vtmb fan would insta buy it. (in a bizarro world where this game is actually good)

          How they figure out how to bring Nosferatu's unique gameplay challenges to this generic slop might be a bridge too far though.

      man, why do people ever go for them in a "true" RPG?

      They can work for something like Deus Ex where JC is both a bit of a Blank character and kinda only could be acting one way anyway so you're roleplaying *as* JC The Agent. But in a true RPG where you're picking a role yourself and trying to fit it or act a part of your own choosing, voiced protagonists are so fucking annoying and grating and often seem to reduce the scope and depth of dialogue choice.

        Everybody nowadays wants to make the game with the voiced protagonist and the disembodied voice in the protagonist's head. That voice might be from an NPC, might be an AI, might be a spirit, it might be anything, but the developers have to talk to the player through a disembodied voice pretending to talk to the protagonist. I can't take it anymore.

          to be honest out of all the characters from the HSL version he seemed the most interesting, or at least the one with the most going on. will be disappointing if he's cut but from what we've seen i doubt he's still around, especially since he was tied to the HSL's PC's embrace

          You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

          and while im at it why are they hyping up lou grand so much? i know she's based off of lou graham, but there's a vibe with TCR where they're going "'member lou?" when we never learned anything about her in the HSL version beyond being the ex-prince or something. is it the tits?

      You're talking about VTMB alone. I got to know WoD in the 90s, started dreaming about video games set in that universe. Got a single good one. Then I got to know Jyhad and started daydreaming about the day I could play it online with a decent client like the old Magic Online or even something more advanced. Instead card games went the way of mobile shit thanks to Hearthstone. I always thought Werewolf would be the easiest one to get a decent game out of, but was recently proven wrong. I always wanted a game, even a simple one like the old SNES Shadowrun, based on Mage. 90s Mage, clueless people being hunted by both Terminators and reality itself while trying to learn to use their powers discreetly, engineering coincidences. Nothing. Being a WoD fan is suffering.
