Unlike Redemption, which took place in multiple setting across multiple timelines, Bloodlines takes place in a slick very goth version of Los Angeles. Most of the environment will be traversable freely with a few areas that are quest specific. Characters will have to use the environment to feed. For example, since the Ventrue flaw makes them very picky eaters, they can only feed from certain places. A lot of the map consists of outdoor areas. This adds to some very nice lighting elements as well as some interesting backgrounds. Again, characters will have to use the environment, such as shadows not covered by streetlights.​
