I really enjoy Rebirth and The Bite - and several other games as well. Rebirth is consistent in the sense that is utilises aspects of fantasy lore, myth and legend, both ancient and modern, changing and embellishing in accordance with the writers desires. This is very common practice in fiction writing, and using existing source material is not plagiarism - the verbatim copying of other 'works' is. The story of Rebirth is relatively mature, from which one can draw inferences and verify in game consistence. This is not true for The Bite, which is still in its introduction phase. However; we know almost nothing about any of the characters nor the storyline in The Bite. Hypothesising:- if the MC's sire is a banished ancient powerful vampire (see the Patron thread) then the MC would need to be protected against the prevailing laws - hence Zoe. But this is only a partial solution because Zoe admits that she is not very strong. Now current candidates for physically strong protectors are Runah or Emilia (Runah is beginning to trust the MC and Emilia appears to 'like' the MC at the end of the present update if you told the truth) either of which could be used whilst the MC finds and develops his powers. All people - and vampires, and werewolves, ... etc. lie, even George Washington, so that is a red-herring. However and in addition, most people 'tell the truth' when 'given an offer that they can't refuse'. So I don't really see any inconsistencies. Imo its just too early to make a coherent decision. I expect to continue to enjoy both stories as long as the devs keep producing updates. In future I shall direct all of my The Bite related posts to the correct thread.
