WTF?

I think she is quite similar to DOOM I and DOOM II Marine...

It's a year away. Gameplay videos or no gameplay videos, it's still going to be a long, depressing wait.

There's a 30 minutes closed doors demo so far.

Thx to everyone who provided extra info

Writer lady's "the politics have changed, we're tackling issues of the day" answer wasn't ominous at all.

Everything that Ellison person says in the Kotaku preview is annoying. As is the collective take on the first one having bits in poor taste. God forbid the world would be gross, dark, and a bit edgy. Sigh.

I would not worry. SJW politics in general is gross, dark and edgy as well.

Probably talking about features to help people with colorblind or other problems.

Do people nitpick over shitty RPG design on the Codex anymore, or is it just all about staring hard at the dev mugshots until you throw up? Because I don't think I want to be looking at any of these people.

Brian Mitsoda lead VTMB2, I never thought I'd fucking see the day. Now watch them fuck it up.

Feed on someone who's angry and you'll consume that anger too, leading to temporary perks. Constantly feed on people of a certain emotion and you can get access to more permanent buffs too.

Wonder if this will actually function like disguises, almost, where you eat & channel those emotions (or even knowledge?) to get past obstacles. It's also weird to see how different RPGs are becoming very interested in expanding on in-game action driven traits, from Outer Worlds flaws to Disco Elysium thought cabinet.

Get too supernatural out in public and you'll draw attention, with police eventually being alerted. Repeatedly break the masquerade and the face of the city will change, with ordinary citizens choosing not to risk the streets while the police presence grows, as does that of other vampires hunting you down.

Big if true, but smells a lot like Radiant AI. You wonder if this will actually change how some quests work, e.g. contacts become harder to find or whatever.

Can't wait to be misgendered by a road sign and give it a telling off.

Why are people posting referral links - do they get credit when they're used to preorder?

Also, I'm in the official discord and there are already people worrying about there not being gay options and wanting nonbinary representation... These people haven't even played the original game but they're already making demands.

This discord was a mistake.

Fan stream with some of the actors and players.

Time to watch again...

"One of the thinblood disciplines is Nebulation, where they take a kind of mist form."

 

[Prime Junta]

Okay, so has-beens financed by a wannabie milking another classic for millennial monies. Thrilling.

In Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain there was the Mist Form

 

[Goral]

In Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain there was the Mist Form

It's one of the disciplines in VTM and it was present in VTM: Redemption. But thin bloods having it? No way.

Public Discords are the mistake.

Discord was the mistake really, but we all have that one friend who can't figure out IRC.

they just need to be like deus ex: HR to original deus ex for me. not as good as the original, but still enjoyable and scratch that nostalgia itch.

Yeah, it ought to be quite powerful, not something a newbie thin-blood could do

 

[Gremius]

Also on consoles? So Vampire The Popamole Bloodlines it is?

 

[Rahdulan]

You licks really need to read up on Masquerade 5E. It's not like this direction is a surprise.

Still, Bloodlines 2 in my lifetime.

WTF?

Ah, shit... a Malkavian...As if vampires and women both weren't insecure enough, get them together in one Malkavian body and look what happens..
