Considering they apparently lit up a bunch of elder vampires I'm guessing if you encounter them you're basically hosed as a fledgling. Would make a fun ending sequence for when you break the masquerade too many times, though.

I mean this could be a throw back to game 1 and explain how you get your clan: you get captured by the feds and get experimented on and forced to diablerize another inmate.

how many times do these companies need to learn this, first gameplay videos are the sole window into how the game feels, you HAVE to have someone competent demo it, this isn't poo poo you just throw out and hope it gets forgotten!!!

I wonder if it's a sign of quality or confidence (or even lack of). I assume Epic approached them and looked at the game and one side said: yeah thanks.

Tourette could also just be lying, covering up your past is a natural thing. Think about it, there is a huge effort made to tell your story without a Sire breathing down your neck, yet not a single named Vampire has one either. Or they seem to at least, because hiding that fact is prudent.

i heard this game is adding in a lot of little points around the map where you can do one of four randomly generated missions that repeat over and over, to replace a lot of the overly complex story beats that were cut

btw a lot of stuff is still missing, since it's a beta


for example there is no downside for high Blood Potency, you can imprison other Vampires as easy as mortals, and there is no real downside to negative Piety



so yeah here I am, a devout childe of Samiel busy defending christendom, staring a basically self-enforcing diablerie mechanism in the face

Man I was really enjoying Coteries until it just abruptly ended extremely suddenly into a wet fart of an ending. Is Shadows any better?

it's better imo (solo PC helps I guess), but still way too short, I took like 4 hours


well for a visual novel that's not short I guess, but you will miss some parts (a Lasombra Embrace should feel way slower and more personal for example)

Did anyone else feel let down by the "Good" ending in Shadows?

yes

I also loved Julia, it's a testament to good writing that we spend so little time inside her head and still get her

and then they run out of time for the ending so they do a "rocks fall, the hero wins" (would have been nice to first see the rocks at least)

playing Night Road for the first time, and I think I play hard mode by accident:

Ventrue that feeds on older men




like, in tabletop that's easy mode, but here I can't just spend 1 blood to dominate someone to get 1+x blood in return, also since I can't just ghoul anyone, and in addition you lose a lot of blood in just a few sentences without any input from myself

ZA/UM has cracked the formula to make Storyteller games, all a studio needs to do is to emulate their system for WoD

AUSPEX [Medium - success]: Well now, check these bad vibes all around here. Maybe the guy we're looking for has anything to do with it?

INTELLIGENCE + OCCULT [Formidable - failure]: It might look that way, but nothing stands out in particular. These glyphs mean something, probably, who knows.

WITS + INVESTIGATION [Challenging - success]: somebody was around, that's for sure. Besides the obvious like the smell of dinner being cooked, that raincoat... Is that blood?

true but also impossible, you'd need to hire tons of writers and editors to colaborate (like ZA/UM had) and that will never happen in AAA or even AA

Can't wait to have my Prince of the Night cut down a thousand trees to make a fort.

so dumb and yet so easy to fix: don't gather wood like a peasant, gather peasants to gather it for you

also it should be "nearer" than the CK3 mod, where you play so far up everything becomes strategic (there are some neat roleplaying scenes but nothing to (for example) show what happens when you impose blood taxes etc)
