The problem with the game is not that its 'woke' or 'leftist', the problem is that its a bad game. Focus on the bad writing, the boring quests and the horrible gameplay instead.

Since it's not an RPG, has a named protagonist with a narrator that you can't disable, and the script seems really cringe and gay based on the screenshots I've seen, I will not be buying as a person who has played the original for years. The combat never put me off, I don't particularly like guns and I like feeling powerful and dodging around, but the characters and script make the game unplayable for me. I was actually somewhat interested when it was about an unnamed Thinblood, and people were suggesting you get your Clan through diablerie or something, I can get into that. But 'Phyre', really?

I mean one of the reasons why the original game is so liked is the stat system being tied to multiple approaches the game offers to you, so you get a lot of replayability. If the skills only change how I dispose of enemies, I see no reason as to why I should replay the game. From what I had seen in the preview, dialogue choices are not tied to any of your skills and seem like the only "change" you can have in between your playthroughs.

You only choose a clan. The skills are shared across everyone but clans get affinities so its easier for a Brujah to level up potence/celerity based ones, as it should. I'm just bummed about not having any physical/mental stats, or any skills that contribute to how you interact with the world aside from combat.
