I've lost twice, I've failed twice and I've gotten two dishonorable mentions within 7 weeks. But I keep coming back. I am The Trooper!

I played to completion as Malkav, Ventrue and Tremere. I should try Nosferatu the next time the itch comes up to revisit it.

Man, the more info comes out of BL2 the more underwhelmed I feel about it. What a shame, what a goddamn shame.

Eight points of contact at all times!
Banu Haqim are the spotlight this week: https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2/news/developing-banu-haqim

On Background:
"...The concept of a hunter of hunters driven by strong principles or a deep-seated sense of justice does resonate with powerful elements of vampire and vampire-adjacent media. Blade, Angel, and (for those that remember it) Forever Knight all feature vampires seeking redemption by taking the fight to their own, while the very vampire-esque Dexter is a poster child for the concept, as is the Caped Crusader. It is no fluke that the internal shorthand for the Banu Haqim was 'clan Batman'."

On Combat:
"...the Banu Haqim clan’s use of Obfuscation and Celerity make them much better suited to a faster, more confident approach.

The Banu Haqim abilities primarily focus on these two disciplines – the player can silence themselves and others, move impossibly fast, and vanish from sight completely. These can be used at any pace, but they truly shine when used swiftly together, dancing in and out of sight and dispatching opponents quicker than they can react. This makes them ideal for a player who likes to stay hidden, toy with their victim’s senses, and when needed, kill everyone in the room faster than a Tremere could decide their first move.

While we use quite a bit of slo-mo effects across combat, Banu’s version of celerity is its biggest use case - we needed a small subsystem specifically to manage time dilation across gameplay, to allow for its use in combination with other abilities. This has really paid off, I genuinely never get tired of using Banu Haqim’s lethal beheading strike in (almost) stopped time!”

My guess is this will be the most popular clan selected by new players.

Werewolf game by the Night Road guy just dropped.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2402280/Werewolf_The_Apocalypse__The_Book_of_Hungry_Names/

$15 with the launch discount is a bit steeper than I was expecting, but I think I'm still grabbing it.
