Like, you could be born into a true-blue family and follow that path, becoming a mad Thatcherite, or you could disappoint your parents by becoming a hard-left rabble-rouser who turns up to throw yoghurt at the Houses of Parliament. And as in life, some Clans are more naturally suited to certain factions than others. If your Clan is your vampire family, then your faction would be your political affiliation. Paradox and Hardsuit Labs have also started to reveal the next corner piece to the social dynamics puzzle: the factions. The key art for the new faction, The Pioneers. Preternaturally persuasive, with a 'horny on main' kind of an undertone. But on the whole I like my blood suckers to be the genteel, well-tailored kind who don't need to resort to violence because they're just so cool.
Don't get me wrong, I understand that even the most civilised of monsters needs to, upon occasion, kill a crowbar-wielding drug hustler, or eat an entire person. It features commentary from Ka'ai Cluney, creative director at developer Hardsuit Labs, and a lot more creeping and talking than the previous version. In fairness, I think they were always planning to do a bit more of that this time, as you can see in the new demo footage they've released. I got in to see the Gamescom demo build, which they were also showing off at E3, but since Brendy got a punchy vampire run I tried to steer it more towards the sneaking and talking route by yelling things like "play both sides!" at Paradox product manager Florian Schwarzer, who was talking us through the demo.
As is my wont, I am here to bleat about Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 at you.
