Werewolves in WoD are amazing. they have the same lore depth of vampire and in WoD you also have eastern vampires aka Kuei Jins.
Without Lo Pan there would be no Kuei Jins.

Vampires are creatures from Slavic folklore, very aristocratic and selective on who they will embrace

that's not a bloodlines character

vampire myths are older than slavic culture itself, dating at least as far back as ancient greece. some were aristocratic creatures, others were disgusting plaguebearers, others were shapeshifters, others were sexy witches, etc. none of those concepts is particularly older or more fundamental.
that's why WoD's kitchen sink approach is best. what you're describing are basically Tzimisce, which are a huge clan but not literally all vampires that exist. Strahd would be Cappadocian or Lasombra. if you think Rudi is representative of VtM vampires, read Dark Ages. it does vampire necromancy, blood sorcery and lording over mortals better than any other game.
Fun fact: Peter Tremayne’s Dracula novels depict Dracula as having become a vampire by joining an Ancient Egyptian vampire cult.i thought its common knowledge that vampires started in ancient egypt

Strahd is a blatant Dracula ripoff, even down to the reincarnation romance first introduced in the Dan Curtis version.
Dracula
And I should care about this why?Dracula
canonically a Tzimisce in VtM lore

I hope you're adding vampire hunters as PC options. I'd love a good RPG where you can play as a vampire hunter.-thread-
