It will be an interesting contest between DOA Veilguard and this.

I'm going to be charitable and say that VtMB2 looks better so far.

Purpleguard's cringe is in a whole 'nother league.
Yeah, I'll be mildly optimistic even with the (likely) reduced RPG mechanics.

BG3 is more an outlier in regards to big game publishers developing hardcore CRPGs unfortunately. I'd love to be proved wrong though!

extremely nihilistic, violent, filled with horrible people, protagonists do terrible things all the time, close-ups of gore and people's anuses, etc. etc.
Sounds like Bloodlines (2004).
Show me one anus in VTM: Bloodlines.

Yeeeah, say what you will, but Bloodlines did the Ventrue dirty.
I've been contemplating that recently. It's not just Bloodlines, a lot of people have difficulty portraying characters that act in competent leadership positions. Everyone knows how a bad boss acts, but very few people seem to know how to portray a good boss (good enough to retain power)

If Ventrue are Embraced for leadership, the most important trait should be their ability to understand what their subjects want, their strengths and their weaknesses. Ventrue, more so than Toreador, should be the most empathetic clan. Where Toreador are sensual, Ventrue should be as close to you as your family doctor. That's what makes a good leader, someone who can convince you that working for them is the best way to get what you *both* want. The current portrayal of Ventrue as extremely aloof and self-important is literally the *worst* traits a leader would have, which means none of them would actually be leaders.

As much of a dick as Trump is, I do think he “gets” people much better than his democratic counterparts. Musk isn’t a political leader, just our generations great genius for better or for worse.

I also agree the Ventrue should be portrayed different. With Presence and Fortitude they should be coming off like Charles Dance’s Tywin Lannister rather than Lacroix.

Since you all niggers start posting pictures I'll stop you right here to say that Pisha is objectively the best VtMB waifu, and if you disagree, kill yourself.

Cannibalistic dyke is the best waifu? I wouldn't even rape her.

Though she gives some nice occult items.
