what's the next clan reveal?
What's the next clan reveal?
Was there ever any doubt?
I'd say Toreador is more likely
so clans are just gonna have two discipline a piece?
blunder of the year coming up
balancing and replayability I guess
Mommy is coming. I can feel it. My dick is harder than usual and goes apeshit.
same
Toreador, Malkavian, Lasombra
what's this supposed to be? from the trailer
a nosferatu. Haven't you played the previous games?
your average Yea Forums poster
Hopefully something better than "we took this interesting concept and made them a 'clan' of generic vampires"
I don't get what you mean
they made thinbloods a generic clan instead of a vampiric condition that can affect all clans
that's not how it works chief
it is retard
i bet you're one of those fags that think thinblood = caitiff
lol faggot
Not him but that's EXACTLY how it works. Thin bloods are what happens when the 'generations' of vampire go too far from the original Caine stock. The ones you meet in the last game all had traits of different clans but were watered as they're semi-human.
It's neat that you can play one but it should really be a toggle for the existing clans than one itself.
Not the same user but, what clan could possibly produce a thin blood with those kinds of powers? The bat thing makes me think of Gangrel. Maybe that's where the Playable Thin Blood from this game will always come?
You're not just able to play one idiot, you start as one
That makes sense but I bet it would piss people off that they can't play a thin blood from other clans, with their own spin on their abilities. Reason I figured a toggle would be neat. Weaker powers and vamp rep but better human social stuff, etc.
What?
Doesn't matter. Chiropteran, Mentalism and Nebulation aren't disciplines that get shared by other clans. Which is ironic because at least Nebulation and Mentalism are extremely useful.
when the FUCK did thinbloods go from wimpering faggots on a beach to cool ass fucking bat powers and shit
Vendaddy
V5
and it was really one of the LEAST bad things it did
You start as a thinblood. Completely clanless, you have a set of 3 thinblood disciplines to choose from. About 5 hours into the game, you will choose a Clan, from 5 clans, to join
Well, at first i thought that could be the mistery, finding out who turned you and could it produce such a rare form of thin blood. But then user said it was just a V5 thing and now i don't know anymore.
redpill me on V5
I already know about the based black bear
So Yea Forums, which clan has the best song at Succubus Club and why is it Tzimicsce?
>youtube.com
Learn to google/yandex. You won't find a kind and benevolent user like me everytime in Yea Forums you know.
Bloodlines vamps can do that now? I thought once you got bit by one clan, you're with them for good.
>implying I didn't
it's a fucking click user.
they haven't said how you do it yet, and they'll probably leave it until you play the game, but it's most likely you'd diablerise some actual vampire and steal his powers
Thinbloods are not a clan and they never said they were so stop this nonsense and talk about Torry tiddies instead.
Will I get to fuck off to nipland with Yuki-chan this time?
this
if only brainlets didn't have bad reading comprehension
(You)
The Ravnos one is pretty based desu.
If only
why is this collection actually bangin
A Nosferatu or maybe some Sabbat shovelhead
I know nothing about VTM outside of Bloodlines 1.
What are the best clans that aren't in that?
I'd love a physical based one without the angsty teen politics of Brujah.
>skipping through google images "Velvet Velour" while masturbating
>finish when this comes up
Am I gay now?
>I'd love a physical based one without the angsty teen politics of Brujah.
thats just gangrel tho
Why would you think that? Any confirmation.
Giving more Disciplines would increase replayability tho
And not only that. They can control bats, stand to surfaces, "gilde" through the air, use telekinesis, levitate, become mist....shit EVERY rookie vampire can do in nearly every setting. Yet, with the exception of bat control, proper vamps in clans couldn't do any of this shit until V5.
So essentially, you have the most shitty "vampires" in a setting having the most staple and iconic powers that a vampire has.
Clans have two disciplines, plus you keep whatever discipline you select as a thinblood. And you get access to the different abilities of each discipline. They had a stream a couple days ago
They specifically said in their video thinbloods aren't a clan but they just said it that way so it'd fit with the rest of their clan reveals
it's not as if you have ALL the thinblood disciplines. You choose one out of three, keep it for th egame
why is the first game so praised?
played it for the first time this week and and it was ok the first run but kinda weak the second run
the only choice i seem to have is to either lose humanity or not and it doesn't even matter that much
gameplay wise you either go invisible or start spaming the same attack combo over and over again
a shitload of walking back and forward for fetch quests
persuasion, seduction, intimidation and dominate/dementia might as well be the same thing
Nosferatu was lame, i could play the entire game on the streets without invisibility with no problems, maybe even a bit too easy since you can eat rats and spam the bats thingie while invisible
Malkavian is just silly text over the normal text and some unique dialogue that doesn't matter.
i tell the prince to fuck off he and he dominates me, tell him to fuck off a second time and he doesn't give me the quest then i can't proceed by talkin to anarchs or other faction aka no choice
the only different thing i noticed is that you don't get the room in downtown if you're rude to the manlet prince
i haven't tried ranged with auspex yet but i really don't wanna play an fps
you can finish a quest hub so fast that not having a haven in it doesn't matter
i really like the world but the game is kinda boring
played this with unofficial patch and the plus one so it's not like i had the version with less/worse content
You mean you don't have a dedicated VV file?
You are gay for just not having that....
>you can finish a quest hub so fast that not having a haven in it doesn't matter
So you either used a guide or skipped all the side content?
Wait what? I thought you'd end up knowing 5 disciplines when you became full-fledged.
Samedi or Assamite
My sister works for Cara Elison
>maybe even a bit too easy
>i haven't tried ranged with auspex yet
There's easy and then there's Toreador easy.
hahaha
would be six at that point, and that's not counting all the skill inside those base disciplines. thats a bit much desu.
The atmosphere and character writing are its strong points. Plus as far as stats goes there's quite a few different interactions
>Different levels of humanity unlock different dialogue, and can even effect what ending you get
>Having certain stats can net you bonus XP (Inspection >=3 + social stats means you can call Knox out on his hand-fed lines from Bertram gets you +1 xp, telling Bertram you found out gets you +2, additionally with high enough Charisma you can talk to Beckett to give you his backstory, netting you +1 XP and a stat boost)
>Different builds can go through whole encounters differently (Female chars can just fuck Romero instead of playing zombie babysitting, can stealth through retrieving the Astrolite/The Sabbat Warehouse without killing anyone)
>You can intimidate people out of money, whereas seduction and charisma cannot, and charisma and intimidate doesn't net you free blood sources like charisma does
All kinds of shit that was shown a lot of thought when it came to character builds, except the endgame when it was rushed as fuck out the door and 99% combat
It's not like the quest were some branching adventure.
talk to big guy>fetch quest>find name>go to grave>take tape>bring tape (10 mins max)
big guy says we need another tape>talk to porn guy>answer phone>walk to hotel>walk to internet cafe>spam attack for like 3 minutes>get tape>bring back (another 10 mins tops) and this is a main quest
side quests
kill a bitch in peepshow place, literally 3 minutes
use dominate or other social skill on writer then take taxi to santa monica and kill thinkcuck (5 minutes)
you don't need a guide, you can see most locations from one spot
>I thought once you got bit by one clan, you're with them for good.
Diablere bruh. Shit can basically justify almost anything down to straight up creating a new clan, if you're willing to take the risk. Being clannless justifies this even further as, by some measurements you're much better off as thinbloods are escaping a lot of the clan curses and get weird new disciplines nobody expects.
I sorta hope you have the option to try and go thinblood as an inbuilt 'hard mode.'
>and charisma and intimidate doesn't net you free blood sources like charisma does
Fuck me I meant seduction
>I sorta hope you have the option to try and go thinblood as an inbuilt 'hard mode.'
You don't
>by some measurements you're much better off as thinbloods are escaping a lot of the clan curses
hol up. do they not get the curse through diablere? its just a straight no-loss power up?
Fuck. You'd better be able to learn 1-2 more disciplines as you go along then. I want to be a Creature of the Night, not some wishy-washy lukewarm errand boy.
>I want to be a Creature of the Night, not some wishy-washy lukewarm errand boy.
frankly that's how it is for most vampires in this setting.
first hub was definitely the most fun, i felt like the game took a dive after the first half of downtown
I can't stop being a bloodfag. I just love exploding my enemies using their own blood.
Will based Christof show up to educate riffraff vampires on what it means to have faith in your love and lord?
>not rating the assassin's creed clan
Long dead
>kill a bitch in peepshow place, literally 3 minutes
I doubt you figured out how to get all the people out and killed her within 3 minutes. If you were using a guide then it's your own fault for not enjoying it as much. Playing along with a guide takes something away from the game.
??
vv said not to kill innocents not that i can't be seen while swinging my hammer in that hooker's head
>needing a guide
>not just paying for a show and forcing her to commit suicide with dominate
Lmao what are you a Brujah or something?
>AHEM
Then there's an aspect you missed about the quest and something that could've been done differently to net you better rewards. That's why the game is praised.
Like having high enough charisma can spare both Jeanette and Therese, whereas Seduction and Intimidate cannot
Are there skinny Americans? Are there French people who don't like to eat snails? If you ever want to understand anything about VtM, you need disabuse yourself from the notion that vampires are all just variations on narrow clan stereotypes.
>needing disciplines to dominate hunters
I don't think you should be laughing at anyone user
I actually spared them on my first playtrough because i used the questions system to create my character and i ended up with a toreador
Nah the other dude is right. VV gives you extra as long as no one else dies. Stealth is irrelevant but it helps so the cops don't come.
Will he be a douche like LaCroix
oh yea forgot about cops, i had a lot of problems sneaking by the as toreador in the boat mission but then i realised i can just run past them to reach the coffin because their guns suck
also why the fuck aren't they getting dazed after i suck them like most people? they just continue their patrol if i'm invisible or attack me if not
Isn't their blood so diluted that they do not inherit their sires' curses and disciplines, so that they get to develop their own? With the trade-off being their do-not-steal moves are usually weak as fuck?
>Chestlets....
is this true?
What have you been up tonight, Yea Forums?
>debofnight.andcuriouser.com
She'll be back, right? As a DLC? We'll have radio, right? Please tell me we'll have her and more ;_;
>What are the best clans that aren't in that?
Cappadocians.
Sadly extinct. Fucking Giovanni traitors.
Well, they did the Warrior type and the Mage, I'd say they'll reveal whatever the Stealth archetype will be.
It's to create mood for the PnP and they did a pretty good job.
Where do demons even come into play here?
I'm honestly not sure how I'm meant to read this chart.
Nah, I was taking the piss
WoD is in this weird place where Abrahamic mythology is correct, but there is also other unrelated stuff.
Demons are full on "god is the evil one, Demons(and Lucifer) fought because they love humans"
But then most of the Demons went completely batshit insane after spending thousands of years in Hell, so they are now just as evil as the church says they are.
Except Lucifer, who was never in Hell and just kinda wanders the earth, helping people out.
I swear to Caine if those Swedish LARPing faglords don't add an option to join Tzimisce, I will eradicate all the trannies.
They don't really. They're their own game line that has limited crossover with the other games since it was one of the last to come out. Demon also never received a v20 update, so it'll probably be a long time until we see more Demon material if at all.
Also don't confuse the characters from Demon: the Fallen with generic demons worshiped by the Baali, Nephandi etc
You're supposed to realize that the idea of some kind of objective "power chart" only appeals to the kind of smooth-brained mouth breathers that have trouble remembering the order of rock paper scissors.
Nosferatu because we already got Brujah as the "warrior" clan and Tremere as the "mage" clan and it only makes sense for Nosferatu to fill the "stealth" clan. They're following a very traditional class system for VtMB2, at least it's the way I see its game design.
Why are they actually that powerful tho? Magefag wankery aside they control pretty powerful aspects of reality, and vampires/werewolves become supernatural apex predators. Hunters I can also see just absolutely shitting on everyone through nullification. What makes demons special?
Considering Tzimisce aren't offered as a playable clan in 5th edition you're most likely going to have to start eradicating trannies.
How would it work? To be a Tzimisce means to be a Sabbat. And Sabbat is a no-no.
>The Deb of Night show does not endorse the goth lifestyle and take it from Deb, pretending you're a vampire only impresses people with similar physical iggyness
What did she mean by this?
oh
Time to the szlachta
>Sabbat is a no-no
Filthy fledgeling
I have no idea. Demon doesn't particularly interest me, a friend of mine loves it but I just don't really care.
Good luck with those murders.
Despite the popularity of the big titty goth gf meme by teenagers on reddit, most goths were fat, smelly and ugly.
*Time to get the szlachta.
Sorry lads, Andrei has been doing some weird shit to my brain
We've had three World of Darkness games.
Exalted Game When?
Nosferatu, maybe a fomori or something similar. WoD has all kinds of mutated humans.
Personally the first thing I thought of was a fomori, though I've played a lot of WtA lately so that might be why. They and Pentex aren't exactly as prominent in Vampire the Masquerade.
Is my dude even alive in this universe? Is he Malkavian or what?
Vlad's clan is Old Tzimisce, so Keldonic Magic instead of Fleshcraft
Old Clan Tzimisce. He forced some very old and very low gen Tzimisce to embrace him.
That game had some interesting artwork, to say the least. I think it was the first time I saw a cameltoe on the cover of a book that wasn't sold wrapped in opaque plastic.
>He forced some very old and very low gen Tzimisce to embrace him.
Why is he such a chad in every universe?
>Malkavian
The fuck are you on about?
Yes, he lives. He is a an Old Clan Tzimisce Aurarkis.
save the best for last
Do the popular works of Vampire fiction get nods in the setting? Like Bram Stoker's Dracula or Nosferatu: Symphony of Horror?
Nosferatu is an entire clan, Dracula is an actual character, the entire Toreador clan are basically Anne Rice Vampires, etc.
So Belmont has failed...
why does anyone care about this shit?
How the fuck do Hunters outscale Vampires?
True-faith I bet.
dunno, impaling people sounded like a Malkavian thing in my head
I hope we can play tzimisce too
Oh yea I forgot God was real
Don't be that guy that only regurgitates bullshit he reads on these threads.
what's the difference between the lasombra and the giovanni
Clanwise or powerwise?
They're two different clans.
Well you see, Lasombra are Darwinist edgelords with shadow powers and The Giovanni are incest addicted deviant christians with necromancy powers
what is with you guys not putting "vtmb" in the title?
based samedi poster
It's the equivalent of opening it now
Don't do it
DBZ level of powers and super-natural cancelling abilities. They have more than just true-faith, they also have angelical powers to help them.
We did it so you'd ask questions
This also Lasombra used to be Sabbat and Giovanni were independent because they're rich and powerful as fuck
both
have the devs said whether or not havens are making a return? or my deb of night waifu? i loved the tremere haven and it would be cool if each clan got a unique one.
>Favorite clans in V:TMB were Grelgang, Malk, and Nos
>People are saying the next three clans are Toreador, Ventrue, and Lasombra
JUST
Ventrue are alright power wise and I like leader types, just not poncy better than you kinds. Lasombra at least sound like a cool addition, but I wonder if you can stay thinblood or if you keep your thinblood disciplines after selecting a clan.
A question. IIRC upon reaching zero humanity a vampire becomes the beast within and is permanently frenzied and mindless, losing ability to do complex disciplines.
How come in some books there NPC characters with zero humanity that apparently still have a mind of their own?
whitewolf.fandom.com
whitewolf.fandom.com
Yea all the clans are gonna have areas and shit. No specifics on characters.
That's a thing in several TTRPGs. There are things that can happen to a player, such as hitting 0 Humanity, where they become 'unsuitable' as a PC, but can still be an NPC that has some level of functionality.
A vampire who has a humanity or path score of zero experiences one last frenzy called Wassail and is permanently in the thrall of the Beast, but that doesn't mean they're permanently frenzied.
whitewolf.fandom.com
Did you feed the gargoyles today neonate?
FUCK THIS NIGGER,
FUCK THE CAMARILLA
AND FUCK YOU LACROIX
Kill all Tremere bastards
Isn't becoming in the thrall of the beast basically mean frenzying?
I read it on V5 that a person of high faith stat can ward-off vampires, or even disable them outright. 5 dots is special-snowflake tier rare though.
>5 dots
You are like a little baby.
whitewolf.fandom.com
Next is toreador
why Nossies dress like S&M freaks?
That's the real curse of their clan
True Faith is powerful. Nobody will deny that. But if you see hunter on a list of playable supernaturals and immediately think True Faith, you're thinking of the wrong kind of hunter. A guy who beats a ghoul to death with a tire iron because there was something weird about him is technically a hunter. So is Society of Leopold member with a pip in True Faith. However, if you're comparing various game lines, a hunter refers to the Imbued.
Hopefully they don't just replay the last game but with updated tech.
He's going to be a douche because everyone in this game is a douche but he should be something more than power hungry monster with the phoniest "concerned" voice there is.
Maybe he can be a straight forward asshole who doesn't even feign concern for anyone that might get in his way, but has legitimate vision beyond his own power. Like he's a camarilla dog, but he sees the upside in actually building a well oiled machine for everyone involved including himself and makes aggressive moves to make it happen. Less "I can build MY empire to last for eternity" and more "I can build an empire to last for eternity"
Where's his reflection?
The Nosferatu song fits the clan perfectly, so that's definitely the best.
They said they'll have something like Deb but not confirmed Deb herself
I'm guessing we're getting podcasts with a similar feel to Deb
So where's Gangrel and Nos?
Just because you're making baseless guesses doesn't mean everybody else is.
How tf did I not notice this obvious Lasombra hint?
are gargoyles vampires? what about that one in hollywood?
Ya imbued are where shit gets crazy
Make the vampire methuselah you lucked into as vulnerable and powerless as the average joe and blow their fucking head off with a fireball basically
>Podcasts
If true how much you wanna b
They're homunculi created by Mages if not specifically Tremere
Short answers: Yes and Yes
No, they probably just wanted to emphasize the skyline/not draw attention to the fact the PoV can't have a reflection but you an see him in the floor.
He has a reflection on the floor
cool
>homunculi
how are they different from those monsters the sabbat tzimisce created in the sewers?
>how are they different from those monsters the sabbat tzimisce created in the sewers?
They are mostly made from other vampires, gangrel in particular.
Tzimisce make theirs from anyone they feel like.
That's about the only difference.
There are reasons, many reasons, the Tzimisce hate the Tremere.
>In other news local gay bar The Plaguebearer was firebombed tonight
>witness describe a suspect screaming something about Seamus amidst slurs for transexuals
No Nos no buy.
Not necessarily. For a vampire that still retains humanity (or their path) the only time the beast takes over is during frenzy. Vampires only frenzy during periods of extreme duress. (hunger, pain, exposure to fire or sunlight) A wight that isn't experiencing those wouldn't require the immediate fight or flight response.
lasombra have reflections in v5, it's just weird and distorted
>There are reasons, many reasons, the Tzimisce hate the Tremere.
they feel like they're poseurs or something?
The szlachta created by the Tzimisce are a type of ghoul. Gargoyles are a vampiric bloodline.
whats Cain up to in a non-gehenna’d world?
>lasombra have reflections in v5
The tranny LARPers are back at it again!
On multiple levels yes. The Tremere are a 'fake' clan. They were mages who decided to turn themselves into a vampire clan, using kidnapped Tzimisce as their primary method.
Then they ate the Salubri Antediluvian.
>they feel like they're poseurs or something?
Tremere were originally human mages that butchered a shit-ton of Tzimisce vamps so that they could use their vitae in pursuit of creating an original bloodline.
Once you diablerize, you gain the curse of the clan you eat.
But before that, as a thinblood, you have a number of advantages over regular Kindred, with a number of drawbacks.
Some thinblood can walk in the sunlight, providing they take the merit.
listening to kine tell him their stories in his uber car
so nobody actually likes Brujah or Gangrel do they? There even worse in the newer editions with the actually destructive and ideallogical toxicity that is "woke" shit that shows up in any story with a black character now.
in many ways its still bad for lasombra
Gangrel is a cool clan user. At the least their powers.
Unless we get to be shitty mini werewolves, AGAIN
I only like Gangrel because I'm a furfag and they were the closest to a werewolf that I could play
Gangrel are my favorite clan by a lot tbqh
I like Dark Ages Brujah, Modern Brujah were never as good, and are even worse with this stupid modern nonsense.
Not all Brujah are woke, see Hellenes.
I don't know much about the tabletop but don't they push Brujah as the protagonists
>All kinds of shit that was shown a lot of thought when it came to character builds
The RPG systems in this game are extremely inconsequential. You have very few stat-based choices to make and the ones you do have don't matter. It plays like a gimped Deus Ex
Unless 5th changed that, no. They push the Cammy clans in general as PCs, but no single clan in particular.
>t. god modes through boss fights
that's okay user, but don't pretend you're doing it correctly.
Nosferatu and Ventrue are the best clans, all the others are rejects of other supernatural shit that decided to be classified as vampires to feel more important.
Absolutely based.
Gangrel aren't my favorite clan but they're pretty cool conceptually. They represent the feral, predatory aspects of vampirism and the crossover between vampires, werewolves and other skinchangers in the original myths.
I dunno what vampiric archetype brujah are supposed to represent.
Black magic obviously
"""Black magic"""
Wait wait wait, I thought mages were godtier?
Being able to dance better exist in the sequel. Better yet we should ask about it on the next developer stream.
Un-ironically being able to get ISOLATED will be a determining factor of whether or not I buy the game.
please dont summon the mage autists or they will come to post huge lines of text explaining how a rookie mage can kill Cain by putting him in a pocket dimension inside his asshole
Brujah were supposed to represent the "punk" angle of gothic-punk.
Being an entropyfag feels good as I can just final destination all my enemies without the fear of paradoxes.
Only if the ST allows it, in that case they are like batman: ready for everything and with plot-armor. Magefags are still seething from the fact that their lore became trash after demon came and proved vampire's to be the closest to the truth.
