What is the Ventrue player character's feeding restriction?

[rylixav]

Amanda (the female Ventrue player character) has some kind of very specific feeding restriction, but I don't get what it is. It's not by age, gender, race, or consensual/forced. It doesn't seem to be any particular physical appearance either.

What is it exactly?

[Arsene Lupin]

Dunno for sure, but one line indicated blue eyes.

Coffee and or blue eyes as far as i worked out

[Bloodartist]

I never figured that out.

[Incarna]

Caffeine

[Xardus]

Blue Eyes

Yup, blue eyes seems to be the requirement.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the game never explicitly reveals that to you, however. You would only figure it out by paying close attention to the descriptions of your victims.

Never figured it out. It could have to do with blue eyes as others state. But it could just have had to do with being from Jersey since there's nothing contrary to that, I think.

As I said, you have to pay close attention to the character descriptions when choosing who to feed on. Anybody who doesn't make you want to vomit has blue eyes.

But once again, the game doesn't explicitly state this, and I think the fact that we don't get to personally choose the trait that our Ventrue desires is very weird.

What could it be? I'll keep an eye out and let you know once I figure this out

Except it's not. How the hell would you possibly recognize blue eyes being the trait you're looking for when you've only had 1 victim to feed on? That's something that you would only discover after feeding multiple times, and by paying very close attention to their descriptions. And since you can't feed whenever you feel like it, there's a good chance you might forget the details if you didn't write them down.

Because i've played a Venture before, The first hints we are given are before we are even embraced, in fact it's part of your Sire introduction,

Quote "God that voice. Your Taken aback by how smooth and strong it is. and His Eyes...... Steel BLUE, Cold. Intense"

*phone ringing noises* Hello?, society for clear Venture foreshadowing?, yes i'll ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pay attention to the CLEAR UNMISSABLE DETAILS

I'm sorry, but how in the hell is that meant to be obvious? Your sire had blue eyes, so now you want to feed exclusively on blue eyed people?

Daddy issues, much?

It could just as easily be that you have a craving for people who exude a force of personality, or speak with a level of authority.

it's called ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ foreshadowing and understanding your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ character, or what did you expect your Venture to have some kind of special one of a kind super rare feeding condition ?, here is a quick reality check for you, the Venture need to feed on certain people is a weakness not a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crippling disability. Fun fact a Venture Bane can be form from people with great significance to them even on a subconscious level, but you know i will do you one better, know the NEXT BIG HINT?, it's the waiter, as you are feeding on him you get the line,

"you can see his eyes, Pale Blue and confused"

that's two for two on the Eyes the first is your Sire, the one detail you remember is his Eyes, Steel blue and now the Waiter your first feeding AND your First kill Pale Blue two people with significance to you have just appeared, i get the feeling you are the type of person to skip over everything and not look at the clear clues being laid out in front of you

Once again, how is that obvious foreshadowing? Unless the game actually wrote BLUE in all capital letters like you did, there is nothing about that description that makes it stand out from the rest of their traits.

So your sire had blue eyes. Pointing that out isn't foreshadowing what kind of people you like to feed on. It's called providing us with some character description. Or are you suggesting the writer would just slap "they have eyes" onto a character sheet when filling out their description?

I'm not expecting us to have a unique, one of a kind feeding condition. But I would expect for the player to have the ability to choose what kind of trait they prefer in their vessel, instead of having it randomly selected for us. Such a trait being part of a list for various NPC's we encounter during the story.

But then again, that level of freedom would probably give the player way too much agency, and it's abundantly clear the ST of this chronicle seeks to railroad us to hell and back.

I don't skip through things on a visual novel unless it's a repeat playthrough and I'm trying to find different outcomes for scenes I've already explored. That being said, I haven't touched this game in months since I finished all three characters. There's no reason to do so, since the player has no sense of agency. Once you survive the initial embrace trial, it becomes impossible to fail, or alter the story in any significant way.

So it's possible I may have forgotten some details about the game during that time.
