How are you, a miserable Thin-blood shitsack that got Embraced 10 minutes ago, supposed to be a double-agent when you're going to get examined head-to-toe by actually powerful Kindred with advanced levels in Auspex, Dominate, Thaumaturgy etc, not to mention their connections to various info brokers and such?
Streamlining "a bit". Now, thats worrisome
This argument kinda gets thrown out of the window when in the first game taxi driver Cain powered you up like the energizer bunny in a span of days.How are you, a miserable Thin-blood shitsack that got Embraced 10 minutes ago, supposed to be a double-agent when you're going to get examined head-to-toe by actually powerful Kindred with advanced levels in Auspex, Dominate, Thaumaturgy etc, not to mention their connections to various info brokers and such?

Two wrongs do not make a right though.This argument kinda gets thrown out of the window when in the first game taxi driver Cain powered you up like the energizer bunny in a span of days.How are you, a miserable Thin-blood shitsack that got Embraced 10 minutes ago, supposed to be a double-agent when you're going to get examined head-to-toe by actually powerful Kindred with advanced levels in Auspex, Dominate, Thaumaturgy etc, not to mention their connections to various info brokers and such?
Except that's actually a legitimate argument for this universe. Nearly everyone is just a pawn, some pawns just have stronger masters.How are you, a miserable Thin-blood shitsack that got Embraced 10 minutes ago, supposed to be a double-agent when you're going to get examined head-to-toe by actually powerful Kindred with advanced levels in Auspex, Dominate, Thaumaturgy etc, not to mention their connections to various info brokers and such?
Because you are not just any thin-blood. You and the other six embraced are special, mkay?
By making you a pawn with a stronger master you become the chosen one, which means everything will be handed to you on a silver platter, thus also rendering character progression and the game world meaningless.Except that's actually a legitimate argument for this universe.

PC Gamer said:Bloodlines 2 will let you pick from five clans
I hope so too, but they said clans will be free updates. Who makes free updates that alter the game significantly, that require new dialogue lines and new voice acting for NPC reactions to the crazy/ugly, and maybe new characters / areas (sewers and hideouts)?Yeah, they're gonna save the Malks and Nosferatu for 'special DLC playthroughs'. Hopefully this means the game actually is altered significantly when playing as either of those two.
I think it's obvious it's going to be the usual suspects - Tremere, Brujah, Ventrue, Toreador and Gangrel (or Banu Haqim). Unless they want to give us neutral/Anarchs, Camarilla and Sabbat choices. I doubt it's Banu Haqim, because they have Blood Sorcery like the Tremere and perhaps they wouldn't want to overlap the clan disciplines.

My expectations are very low.
