I'm surprised to find such a fun game with a cool story about vampires. Most people on this site seem to want something to fap to first and foremost. I prefer the story, but I like to get them here because of how raw they can be instead of PG13. So many references to Vampire: The Masquerade, yet none exact which implies the mashup lore of many vampire themes. I see many people speaking specifically about certain parts of V:TM lore, like clans for example, but I would not expect something so defined here. It seems to me that the writers likely are using ideas from many vampire lore and extracting them from the pool when it works. And it works well.
Also, I'm thinking the possibility that the red head that everyone thinks sired the MC may not be the actual one who did. Huge gaps in what was disclosed and what wasn't. Whoever it was is going to be old and powerful no doubt, but I'm hoping for a twist when the person responsible is discovered. One thing the red head has going for her is she claims that she is a "nobody", which we all know is likely what a very powerful vampire would say.

Side note: Not sure if anyone cares, but there was a very short television series (8 episodes) based fully on the game V:TM. It was called Kindred: The Embraced, and it aired early to mid 90s. Since it's television from the 90s it does tend to get slightly boring, but well worth the watch for any fan of the game.
It's clearly V:TM in all but name. It's the equivalent of having a sci-fi porn game with John H. Kark, Mr. Spook, Doctor McBride, and the engineer Irish. And that's fine, honestly he's telling the best WoD story since Bloodlines, so good on him. That being said that doesn't mean he can't play with stuff. Malk joking aside, just going by WoD lore the redhead is likely an old ass Caitiff, which explains the nobody remark as well. It also explains the MC picking up Auspex, Presense/Dominate, Protean, and likely Obfuscate in the future.

I am kind of expecting a surprise like... what if instead of 13 clans there were 14? A secret sister to another antediluvian or something like that.

My first instinct as that I would very much like for the story to remain loyal to VTM, but I won't really be sad at all if it doesn't. In fact it would make it more interesting as long as it works. Its just the more I read and got into the story the more those hairs on the back of my neck stood up under the realization of the writer's inspiration.

Well there were more than the 13 established clans like the cappadocian and my personal fave clan the salubri. I hate the fucking tremere for what they did to them. And it would be cool if the dev introduced a new rogue clan who operate outside of the vampiric laws

Completely forgot about that. My knowledge about VTM is only updated when a new game in that lore is released. Now I am kind of catching up because of Rebirth.
Still, my bad. How could I forget the cappadocian? In VTM Redemption there was this cappadocian Serena. She was my favorite character. Way more interesting than the annoying main heroine. Given the option I would have killed that annoying self righteous bitch myself and go play doctor with Serana every single time.

If you want to catch up on more lore but without having to go through all the clan books than check her out



And yeah I wish she was a love interest in redemption. I tried to get into that game but man it doesn't play well with modern systems even with the pre applied patch on the GoG version.

With the Cappadocians there were little snippits of lore that could attest to escaped survivors, they either group as offshoot clans or 'nobody', whos to say some ancient bored vamp didnt decide to spice life up a little by siring the MC, and we did see the redhead bite the MC so she is the sire, its just who was she... Are we sure Caine was a male :ROFLMAO: j/k

Loving the game so far....
Not disappointed with the lack of sexual content so far.....but feels a bit frustrating when u wait a month for an update and the gameplay is more or less 5 minutes.... :/

By the way, I am surprised nobody mentions this beauty. I find her irresistible. View attachment 570805

In my opinion this image is perfect for a fan sign. I would do it If I had any artistic talent.
Could it be how he sees the hunger and thirst that all vampires feel as guessing it shows the vampire the image that will grab its attention and make said vampire go the way that the hunger/thirst wants them to go?

My guess that its the same person was based on their faces, there were a few images where they were virtually identical, might be wrong but the faces look the same.

My theory
She's Lilith, the first woman and suppossedly the one who embraced Cain, mother of all vampires.
