Please stop posting Outstar guys, it is constantly reminding me of my sick desire to put a baby into her toxic womb and spawn a sludge demon with her after a night of disgusting copulation, and I don't like it.
She's already married with a kid, you'll have to live vicariously through her husband.
Looking at her,i doubt that her man is much of a men. Sooo good luck with the cucking throwaway69420 . I believe that you could beat the soy out of him.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Strap Yourselves In Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
My guess is one of those bitter Nosferatu from the Warrens. Would be entertaining to see Gary or Imalia again.

Lily was hot. I could live with that. She's not as interesting as most of the other characters though.

Write character and throw bits that make player think it's Caine.
Literally call his files folder Caine.

"That's not Caine! That's cannot huppan in my interpretation of lore! Writer is liar and wrong!"

White Wolf themselves said it was wrong, and they control the canon.

Citation please! As far as I remember according to the at-that-time-canon but horrible Gehenna novel it would still have been a possibility that Caine impersonated the cabbie.

Who cares? Why does the game have to fit within canon? Canon isn't even a real thing. It's just something nerds obsess over.

Why even bother writing in an established setting with established characters if you're not going to respect anything about it?

It's one of those memes that have apparently been lost to time. Regardless, Caine's personality and motivations in Bloodlines outright contradict the description of Caine as given in the Gehenna book (not the novel, the one with multiple endgame scenarios). They provided players with multiple (admittedly lousy) "canon" endings, but Caine's personality is fixed. Troika botched it.

That's not really how this works.

It can exist as your headcanon, just like Deckard being a human is my head canon, but officially, the guy's a replicant.

The point is, that within the game, the taxi driver is Caine, because writer said that it's Caine.

Someone who is not related to the writing team of the Troika, retroactively announcing that it is not the case does not mean shit. You can't pick someones work up and state that your opinion is canon, if the author of the original doesn't back you up (and even then it's shaky).

Deckard is replicant because the author said he is replicant and you can't change that. Taxi driver is Caine because Troika (author) said he is Caine, and White Wolf can't change that.
