Well though the investiture of Sharon will be a big deal, it seems Calisto is way beyond even the princeps level and same will go likely for others similar to her, though yes I suspect we will see some new stronger players emerge or already introduced ones become more prominent due to the contact with the princeps and the notice that will bring to Sharon. Remember she is already quite notorious and noticed in certain circles for reasons that are not fully clear to us yet, well she may now be noticed by a group that had not really paid attention to her yet, by being at the princeps court and made an Archon. If that will be a good thing only the writer knows.
Astrid, yeah will be interesting to see if her story arch will go beyond that of Archon Marcius and she is a more major player or that her and Sharon's story will conclude somewhere before the bigger players will enter the stage as open antagonists and who those will be and if C will rank among them or she will be somewhat of an ally.
Suspicions I have
Princeps is a tool of some hidden elder- Calisto anyone?? (OR she is the leader of the opposition in the city as the Sabbat like)
Vision girl is pulling a lot of strings, and may be Calisto's Mommy Vamp or Granny Vamp. She is definitely interested in Nos Frank and Whatever MC is: Dan or whatever you name him.
Marcius I predict is going to suffer a major setback, possibly even final death, and Lord Carius or Astrid step forward to try to fill that role, only to have the Princeps step in and possibly make Sharon the Archon....See *** below.
Other douche bag Archon that banished Sharon from south city, will come into play.
Andrew's Daughter did not get killed. She got embraced and is going to be coming for Sharon for thralling her dad maybe?
Markus will be the first one to guess who the MC is tied to, and will either run and hide, or make super nice with MC and Sharon.
Those who dislike Sharon for whatever her past transgression was, will be scrambling when they find out who her Sheriff/Scourge is (MC for now).
Sharon is going to have an identity crisis, because she will be eclipsed by the MC, who will stay loyal to her despite the reasonable protocol of extinguishing her.
We do not know if Diablerie carries the same blood hunt sentence that it does in the source material, but am betting it comes into play here fairly shortly.
Fabian is going to school Sharon that he is far more than she could ever have anticipated or feared, and he will call on the MC to be a good cousin and help him out.
MC will have Laurie, Carmine, and Mirin as his sworn thrall protectors. He will also, for those who want sex, bury his vampire junk into those 3, but be much more intimate in the vampire way with Sharon.
***It would be fabulous if Marcius challenges Sharon to a throw down, and she chooses the MC as her champion, and that he snacks down Marcius for the entire court to see. Yes that is just wishful thinking. Probably much more productive would be Sharon steps up and makes Marcius present his throat to her, and she snacks him down to increase her standing and power level so she can boot Astrid out of the way to be the Archon of her suburb and Marcius's domain.
The devil in the woods.... Staked Merrick out for the sunrise? Ate him? Missed him and now MC will end up facing him with claws and celerity...MC's claws definitely are doing aggravated damage- perhaps the wolf vamps claws do not do that, but do only lethal damage.......... that would be fantastic and the only combo that will touch a werewolf if that is what he is....The whole description of it as much bigger, whirlwind, stronger, faster than the feral Nos, makes me think werewolf very strongly. And depending on the tribe of werewolves, they are not fond of people either, and especially some hate vampires. Some are more live and let live types though. However if we go with my analysis that Sharon is a reasonably powerful ancilla Ventrue, then the werewolf is one of the very few things that could maul her that quickly and she still survives because of Ventrue fortitude.
Every dog gets his day if he lives long enough... Andrew gets to kill the southern Archon.... but something tragic may happen as well, such as daughter is now a vampire and gets taken down in the mess, or maybe she embraces her own father. Giovanni were never shy about embracing family after all.....
I get the feeling that would fill an entire episode's worth of writing right there......
Ah I definitely need to now push what my favorite games are and why, since I post so much lol

Those are pretty much my favorite games on here. I own a lot of them from past Patreon, and or Steam purchases. If I really like a game I put money and feedback into it. The most contentious one on my list is a lot of people's favorite which is Being a DIK. I have various issues with that one, but the renders are quality. If I had to pick just the top 5 or top 10, and play none of the rest, I could live with that order. Really was amazed at how Rebirth makes you think, very hard.
