>It seems that Malkavian Insight in this newest representation will manifest as a sort of paranoia, but the writers are being careful not to correlate too strongly with portrayals of human mental illness
How butchered are Malks gonna be bros?

Tinfoil hat conspiracy theories at worst. Think of that one caller on Deb.

>Malkavians have been traditionally ostracized by the Seattle Kindred. While a few managed to claim territory in less desirable districts, very few have ever managed to rise to the levels of the other clans. Because of this, there is a persistent bias against the Malkavian clan that still exists into modern nights.

MALKAVIANS RISE UP

Was sleeping when the reveal went out. How bad was the btfo?
Jace Young
>dude there aren’t going to be any Malkavians because the devs are SJWs
>they’re in
And once again, Yea Forums is wrong
Lucas Jenkins
>Malkavians are in
>Devs talk as if they don't want to write Malkavians as Malkavians anymore because it might upset someone's delicate mental illness
We don't know if Malkavians will even be worth having in if they're barely Malkavians anymore
Nicholas Clark
I thought deb's caller was the head vampire guy. The one that looks like a dinosaur.

Proof that's fantasy right fhere.

How could you even make a Vtm game while being sensitive to people? Its a world where the sun literally never shines and no one notices, where a secret elite class manipulate people so they can murder them indiscriminately. It promotes classism, racism, in fighting, and generally being an actual serial killer because it feeds your blood addiction.

dude its the current year.
leftist self indulgence is the only kind of self indulgence you will get if you send your money to california and acutally buy games from these studios.

But Malks are factually insane. Not the quirky version but the actually mentally ill way.
One would think actual schizos would be happy to have representation in people who are legit suffering but still maintain functionality.

FUCKING SHITS

Juan Evans
>Malkavians as Malkavians
So any mental illness? Malk player character in Bloodlines 1 was not how Malks are usually meant to be. The player chooses a specific mental derangement for them not random talking to stop signs shit. Sadly it seems like they wont let you choose and just force generic paranoia on you.
Juan Young
The game will be fucking dogshit
>made by SJWs
>literal who garbage devs
>DLC galore already
>almost no discipline powers per clan
>no third person
What did I miss?
Alexander Roberts
This
Malks from Bloodlines 1 were awful fish malks. I'm glad they aren't making a return.
Oliver Barnes
>SJWs
"On the one hand, a few loud voices in the community are convinced that the Malks won’t be in Bloodlines 2, and if they are they’ll be “ruined” by political correctness gone, ahaha, mad."
>literal who garbage devs
Fair point
>DLC galore already
Clans are free, cosmetic DLCs are retarded, story packs & expansion are alrightish.
>almost no discipline powers per clan
You get six active powers to use, compared to having only three powers on clans like Brujah.
>no third person
They said there'll be plenty of times where you can see your character in third person, just not while fighting/using guns. Assuming Condemned like combat here.
Gotta wait until June 10th for gameplay, hopefully you're wrong and we get a half-decent game with soul.
Ryan Torres
devs boasting Avellone, known for signing every nostalgiabait cashgrab rpg in existence and doing like 4 games a year in case you had any doubt whether he actually focuses on any of them or just gets dosh for giving his name to put on the box
Joshua Hall
He's talking about the guy who goes on about how the government has cloned everyone and the clone is trained from birth to know where you go so it can kill you if you speak out against the petroleum industry. I think his name is Gomez.
Nathan Williams
Worst thing is he will usually just write a couple of quests or a few characters.
Apparently he has much more influence on Dying Light 2 which is alright, I have high hopes for that one.
Austin Ross
>but the writers are being careful not to correlate too strongly with portrayals of human mental illness
Utterly ruined. How can they miss the point so hard? I hate fishmalks as much as the next guy but Malks are meant to have a literal mental illness and half the fun of playing a Malk is coming up with and roleplaying the mental illness.
Joshua Miller
Wouldn’t want to step on the toes of the mental ill trannies and game “””””journalists”””””
Parker Roberts
This is fucking idiotic, the whole point of Malkavians is they manifest a derangement in the form of human a mental illnesses specifically.
The world of Darkness is supposed to be harsh and uninviting. When the devs are trying to wrap it neatly in some PC-esque bubblewrap so as to not offend or hurt anybodies feelings it makes me lose faith in how the writing is going to be as a whole. They're priorities aren't to give you a faithful portrayal of the source material or to shock and discomfort you. It's to provide you safe and sterile experience that doesn't upset the wrong people.
