First clan reveal: Brujah

[DarkGlam]

Not looking good, is the more simple gameplay experience. I wanted Lasombra, Ministry, Tzimisce and Hecata.

[Castyles]

Yeah. Keep wanting them.

[Harukage]

Imagine a Brujah elder awakening in 2020s. And then he/she learns that their clan is no longer a part of Camarilla. What will that elder do?
Well, mechanically wise Brujah is too straightforvard and boring as hell. But there is still a chance for some good roleplay given the state of things around.

[DarkGlam]

I think the clans will be:
1)Brujah (used to be Camarilla)
2)Lasombra (used to be Sabbath)
3)Tremere (classic)
4)Malkavian (in a game about an elder with a voice in the head theres no way it doesn't include Malkavian to spice up this experience in different ways)

One of the two clans I usually play, but I would be very pissed if they make to pay again for my favourite Ventrue.

I don't think Ventrue deserves to be in, is super boring. If you like to use domination, Lasombra do better plus attacking or spying using darkness, more fun gameplay

[Blind Reverend]

Was obvious. First video showed super strenght punch and I doubt they let you play anything interesting like Nosferatu. So this left us Lasombra or Brujah ( and I bet we get both, so they don't need to add too many disciplines).

The blood magic nuke in the same video hints Tremere btw.

So what might be the last clan? I guess Toreador (always them in games).

My bet on DLC: Ventrue (or Lasombra if Ventrue comes with the regular game) and Assamites (stealth would fit this melee shooter, is easy to implement and recycles blood sorcery from Tremere).


Disciplines we won't see on our character: Animalism and Protean

Lasombra are overpowered that's the point, where's the fun in that? But to actually strife, achieve dignitas and then bend everyone over, now that feels good. Noblesse oblige and all that.

Rapidly throwing blood at an enemy before charging with your talons is something that Banu Haqim do rather then Tremere.

They might add both clans if they invest in this discipline.

Then its Brujah, Banu Haqim, Lasombra and Malkavian

[Harukage]

Then again, when people talk about clans with Blood Sorcery, like Banu Haqim and Tremere, they also forget that most of its functionality is hidden behind rituals in V5.
Raw discipline powers are somewhat lackluster, like learning things from blood or turning your blood into poison or corrosive substance.
Basically the same thing as with Oblivion. So Lasombra also suffer from similar problem.

[Harukage]

Well, even for things like crawling on walls like spider or creating a zone of silence you need rituals. And that is ingridients, magic tools etc..

Yeah, people tend to do Ventrue "wrong". They are supposed to be all about organizational power, resources and connections, else it's just a diet version of some other clans. It's hard to do their strengths well, especially if you are trying to make a game for multiple possible PC clans. Now, if they did a standalone about Ventrue, that has potential to be very different. Doubt that's going to happen, though. There are other choices for a standalone.

[Harukage]

Ventrue is a good target for Brujahs fist. Of that i am certain.

[DarkGlam]

Lasombra has very direct powers, oblivion for Lasombra is not about rituals.
Brujah (Presence, Celerity, Potence), Banu Haqim(Blood Sorcery, Celerity, Obfuscate), Hecata (Auspex, Fortitude, Oblivion), Lasombra (Dominate, Oblivion, Potence)

This is perfect as all have at least one physical discipline plus interesting powers.
