I can ask, but those are some cagey dudes lol.
I personally would like the choice between directly attacking an enemy, or whispering one of their minions to do a back stab deal. That would be boner vamp situation for me.
I do know, for a fact, that some decisions are about to make game play differences. Some make them in this update in fact. One that players on here who are critical about seeing what difference traits, points, etc have as far as game impact, will be coming up early next chapter. (lol might see folks replaying from Chapter 1 even hahahaha)
I also know that for an upcoming chapter,(yeah 4) we are going to (based on our choices) have 2 "attack" options. That will come at a cost though. (one I am sure will cause some folks some angst in fact)
Warscared I think it is fair to say that at this point we probably only have the powers that Calisto shares as well. There is a mechanic in VTM for acquiring outside your clan powers, and even powers that are specific to other clans. I think the children of Inanna and Ereshkigal both have invisibility. I know Calisto knows our powers. She is not infallible. She can make a mistake or misjudgment. She also could be vulnerable to some of her own powers used against her.......just saying.
Claws... there is no situation I can think of that we would regret getting those. Each power does move us closer to our inheritance as a vampire ie becoming more vampire and less human. That is the only drawback that I know of so far for accepting a power. The impact of that might be closing off romance options on some of the LI. (Sharon and her aversion to the soul stain for instance)
Good stuff!!
Peace
