Do we have to play as all 3 characters?

[Matty1Monopoly]

I have looked over the store page and they make a big deal about how you play as 3 characters. I have no clue which characters they are, just by looking at the still images I'm assuming it's a black girl, a white shirtless guy with a beard, and a woman with the side of her head shaved. Edgy.

Is there an option to play as only one of them or do we have to play as all three of them? Because I just want to play as the generic male character.

I hope they can add more description to the store page because it looks like 8 paragraphs of fluff that don't really describe what you're getting into. Kind of a bad indicator for a game that is mostly going to be relying on its role playing for it to be positively received.

Yep you play all three at different momements of the story.

I would advise to play none.

if I am forced to play all 3, I will just never play at all

Conisider it a team rpg like mass effect if you will (except you don't create a main char). You're really controlling a team of 3 vampires that are acting toward the same goal. They are just not operating on the same level. That said what you do with one will matter for the others. the next act (and for some I'm pretty sure the order inside the same chapter matters too).

Most likely and they do this for a reason. Firstly they want you to do new things and tell different stories. Secondly they have seen in the past that the majority just picks generic male as you said. I still remember BioWare releasing the stats for maleshep/femshep. 88% chose maleshep, the cronically online people almost had seizures.

She's also accompanied by her daughter, who has a speech impediment in the form of a lisp.

So yeah, have fun suffering through that crap at recurring intervals!

smells pretty diverse. And you guys want to spend money and time on that, lol.

It's actually pretty well executed. But I had my favorite for sure. I was also skeptical about the concept, but I think it was really well done.

Actions you make as one character can help or hurt the other ones. Which I thought was pretty cool.
