Oh yeah, this version is very Tremere. I can almost smell our stolen Blood.

World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 - VTMB sequel from The Chinese Room - coming early 2025
- Thread starter Leorgrium
- Start date
The faces of the female(?) in the concept art look better than the 3D render. It has very sharp features and the eyes have the same kind of burning intensity as Raven Shaddock did in Streets of Fire. The render on the other hand looks like a twink or a butch lesbian, despite the slightly softer features. That's what irks me - that those british wankers insist on making the female(?) Brujah look like a sissyboy who's trying to look like a bad mofo, or alternatively like a fucking roadman (the alleged gangrel with the hoodie). Why not add at least a bit of femininity and hotness, sort of like Trash from Return of the Living Dead? At this point I fully expect that the next render of the female(?) will feature a plaid shirt, also tucked in the pants. Maybe with a wallet chain hanging from the pants as well.
Even if the appearance will be customizable it's a very bad sign that they choose to introduce Phyre this way, as genderqueer as possible. These are the features they think will appeal most to their target audience, and thus their desired audience is not much of a mystery anymore. They want the Bioware crowd. It also makes you wonder if these devs mostly comprise of trannies whose personal cause is to erase womanhood, out of envy, and if that's why they want the female Phyre to dress in men's clothing, sporting a man's haircut.

Because femininity is like garlic to these thin-blood faggots.

A man designing characters will create a man he wants to be and a woman he wants to be with.
A woman designing characters will create a man she wants to be with and a woman that's not a threat.

You might think that they are prone to do so on a subconscious level, but it doesn't seem to be true as far as female gamers are concerned. They make their characters "threatening", if game mod sites are of any indication. The new Lara models in those upcoming Tomb Raider remasters have received very positive feedback, one comment on youtube was "she looks so pretty!". I doubt that came from a male. Geralt from TW3 can function like a doll that you preen before play, the net is full of pictures of cool looking Geralts. Everyone generally wants to make their character look attractive because these characters represent a self-insert, unless they create something specific like a Nosferatu or some other predefined character.
The devs who purposely uglify female characters have an ideological agenda, or one born from sexual dysfunction.

Never happened.
Tremere is totally legit clan, just as valid as others, there were no blood magic experiments or other questionable deeds, whatever claims otherwise is Sabbat and Salubri propaganda.
Also the female(?) is ugly as night.
If I want to play an abomination I will play Nosferatu or Samedi.
Very well. But please step into the vohzd pit anyway.

I was joking, but the question of whether game devs actually see the characters they create through the lens of their audience is a valid one.

There's a divide between normal women and women who enter the entertainment industry.
The art directors for Bloodlines 2 are John McCormack and Ben Matthews, guys browbeaten by feminist criticism.

I will have to politely decline your invitation.
Also you are more than welcome to visit my Chantry, I need some blo... I would love to have a stimulating conversation.
P.S Didn't your clan ceased to create those abominations? To my knowledge in modern nights, they are as much of a pain in the ass as Gargoyls are.

Man that's a ruthless putdown, comparing a whole-ass clan to fucking gargoyles.

nigga, it's not mmo. she's not creating her character. she's creating character other women will play.
A pity. But I will take you up on your offer and pay you visit. With friends.
They never rebelled, if that is what you refer to as "pain in the as" regarding Gargoyles. But the utility of a massive war ghoul crafted out of 30ish mortals is indeed limited in these nights of RPGs and other high explosives. And the low generation Dragons even capable of sufficient levels of Animalism and Protean required to shape vohzds are now rare indeed. But some of us still keep them as treasured pets.

Never mind I thought "they" here meant the Tzimescu. Can't tell you bloodsuckers apart, my bad.
In some ways, I'm grateful the tremere exist. They reveal which among the VtM-fans are in it for the misunderstood, edgy, idiotic anime power trip-fantasy, and who are there for the themes of actual merit and worth

So Tremere are edgy, yet for example Tzimisce that will fleshcraft you into a chair, aren't...
It seems I've spotted a tourist.
Also there is nothing wrong with being edgy, though Tremere are more on the side of mage's lodge going full on vampiric blood mages, than being an edgy clan for the sake of it. Where you got "misunderstood and idiotic power trip" is a mystery too me.
We're talking about world full of immortal vampires, powerful mages, technocratic "mages" that have satellites with spiritual nukes in orbit, and shapeshifters like garou. We even have hunters with faith so high they can preform miracles, all of them can mop the floor with most of the ordinary humans. This whole universe is one big power trip no matter which supernatural you pick. Yet you only have problem with Tremere, I would assume that one killed off your PC in some RP session and that's why you are so butthurt about them, but since you have no clue what you are talking about, I somehow doubt you ever played any RP in that world.
If you want to play as edgy vamp, then Sabbat is the way to go, and if you want to go edge lord levels, you have Baali.
Do some research next time, before going full retard.

Is there even a clan that could be considered non-edgy? Salubri maybe?

I wonder if we get Gangranel, will the character undergo transformations, or will it all end with bonus names like "Bat Senses" or "Wolf Agility".
