To be fair, I don't think "child of darkness" necessarily implies what you're assuming it does. As far as I can remember, there isn't really religion tied to anything in the game so far, other than that lady at yoga. All of the stuff has been about organizations / factions, vampire powers (and ancients), and memories pre-vamp days for some of the characters. There is some vampire lore for that type of thing, depending on the mythos, sure. But even something like this that takes inspiration from WoD doesn't automatically use the "God-vs-not-God" explanation for things. In fact, the conversations with Alys and what's been happening more frequently when the MC drinks from someone seems to imply a more irreligious take on things: science and/or supernatural. Nothing with angels and demons or similar (other than metaphors for vampires losing control or not, perhaps).Hey, variety is the spice of life. Affection stats (not just Trust) is being tracked for the Arbiter, so there is hope for ye fans of the very tall.
Me, I quite fancy the Cristian lady in the yoga class. Perhaps, being "reborn" as a child of darkness makes the thought of taking a devout of the light extra juicy. Too bad the choice of going for mesmerized sexy time is off the table for this game. (For those that haven't been following the thread, there was a long back and forth on this about a year ago where the dev more or less said choose mesmerize = get blood bank only, want sexy time need to go the wine, dine and long conversations human way). Whilst listening to someone so enthusiastic about psychology 101 is mildly endearing, listening to someone go on and on about the "will of the Lord" would be eye-glazingly beyond my patience, so that door appears to be shut for me.
