Looks Very Promising

Just bought the game and played about 2.5 hours of it in one go.

Among the things I particularly enjoy about the story so far, is how this seems to be the first Masquerade game I've come across in a while, where you can tell your Humanity to go straight to hell!

Seriously, nearly every other Masquerade game that's been produced lately has agonized over the importance of keeping your Humanity in check, and how we should feel tormented over the idea of giving into our monstrous impulses.

♥♥♥♥ that; I want to play a monster, and be proud of it!

-----------------

But by far, the thing I'm most excited about, is how the achievements list seems to imply that I can join the Sabbat. Considering how 5th edition has treated the Swords of Caine, I had pretty much given up hope that they would ever become a playable option again. So seeing there's an achievement for it makes me quite happy.

Sabbat ending is fun, but I suggest that and the Malk playthrough for not your first one.

Sadly, I missed the Sabbat ending on my first and second playthrough, because I didn't know how to go about it.

1st Playthrough, I missed it by accident and ended up becoming the new Seneshal. Played a Nosferatu Warrior.

2nd Playthrough, I missed it because I didn't form an alliance that revealed Aurendel's location before Chapter 10. Somehow got roped into joining the Anarchs. Played a Toreador Socialite

Gonna see if I have better luck the 3rd time around. But can't decide if I want to be a Malkavian, or a Ventrue.

Don't do Malkavian for the Sabbat ending, kinda ruins the end point. (I think, never did a Malk Sabbat playthrough) but did do a Malk run.

Finally managed to get it on both a Nosferatu and Lasombra playthrough.

This is my 6th run of the game now, finally doing Malkavian.

Though I will say that I was disappointed there weren't any missions associated with joining the Sabbat, unlike the Camarilla or Anarchs. The guide section explicitly said "prepare to get evil," but you don't actually do anything evil.

Heck, you don't even perform your vaulderie on screen. It just time skips to later, when you're marching off to war.

They did, and I hate them for it. There are a great many reasons why I hate 5th edition, but axing the Sabbat is definitely near the top of my list.

I had pretty much given up hope that we would ever see Sabbat as an option in 5th edition. So when I found out the DLC allows you to join them, I was quite pleased.
