I haven’t read any of the dev diaries, but from watching two hours of gameplay, the nomad was probably targeted by some cult, Fabien (guy in your head) was baitee to open the box, got eaten by you, but is still alive in you, because of the magic marks carved to Nomad’s body. End goal is, who takes over the body, like Cyberpunk.

Why do I keep seeing posts about how "this game isn't what we were promised but boy howdy, it's seems good!" It doesn't seem good. It seems like a mediocre action game that no one would care about if the name Bloodlines wasn't attached to it. I think I'd be more compelled to play it if it actually seemed terrible like Two Worlds was. At least that game was funny. Is everyone just mindlessly parroting Cohh? He was paid to say that.

I think some explanations were redundant: the diminished powers could already have been put on the state of being just awakended from torpor. Fabien surviving existed with the old optional diablerie rules.
That said from what we've seen, the mark:
- prevents the nomad from leaving the play perimeter (I'm a sucker for those narrative justifications of gameplay limitations)
- Is tied to a city-wide ritual of other marks who, when found raise the PC's vigor.
- could be the reason why fabien is still active within.
- seems to be the reason why some powers are muted at the start.
- I'm thinking ties both to The Gardener and his cult.

Seems entirely possible Fabien is going to be the grain of sand in the big plan. Or his diablerie could have been part. Honestly, at that point I'm eager to play.
I don't have hopes it' s going to be a great RPG, but if the game is solid enough for a couple playthroughs with decent story variations, I'll be happy enough.

The whole 'diablerized soul lives on in your head' would have made a lot more sense if it was the other way around; Unconquered Soul mostly applies to ancients and those with particularly strong wills. Initial speculation was about Fabien eating a sleeping elder and them taking over.
It's arguably nitpicking but there's just a lot of nonsense from the get go so god knows how bad the rest can be since odds are it's heavily frontloaded.
As for replayability, with all clans effectively sharing combat abilities then any chance of that will stem from choices you make...which if the lacking RPG elements are anything to go by will be paltry.

Diablerie has always been unreliable ever since they introduced the optional rule in DSotBH, and then made it basically a default of sort with the whole Mithras/Monty Coven storyline. So I'm willing to give people leeway for story-related reasons.
>which if the lacking RPG elements are anything to go by will be paltry
Jury's still out on that one. The vertical slice isn't enough to gauge the long term granularity of consequences hinted at by the dialog system.
I mean, I don't have much hopes for more than two playthroughs taking wildy different positions, but I'm open to being pleasantly surprised.

Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand was... if I'm not mistaken end of the second edition (been a while).
I don't think I've ever seen the effect of the diablerie of a diablerie being brought up, but given the game, I'm sure someone will be able to raise a later supplement that at least raises the point.
Later on sympathic blood effects were brought up (having leftover memories just from feeding); which I guess then led to V5 humor hunting rules.

No. Lou knows your sire. Or maybe after being diablerized the elder eats the real Fabian in a haze and doesn't remember so the fragments of the elder cling to that identity. There are a dozen ways to address it. Ultimately it doesn't matter. It's a classic red hering because TCR knows the twist is stupid.

I'm doing that because that's how shit writers work. And that's exactly what all the signs are pointing to. They're not playing with the concept of True Names having power, and they're already forcing us to play a specific defined character with a specific past. Then they made the choice to hide that past and the player's name. They did that for a reason. Then they force you to use a stupid donut steel nickname. It's not to give players room to make their own elder as evidenced by the fact that players literally can't. There's no character creation. So that means it serves a narrative purpose. And what could that possibly be? Why, just look at the evolution of our poor thinblood companion, Johnny Silverfangs. The entire plot of CP2077 has a personality in your head eating you from the inside out, replacing you. That's exactly what happens if a thin blood tries to eat an elder.

Unless V5 updated the diablerie rules and I missed it, no. There's no relationship whatsoever between the generation of the diablerist, his victim's, and the power of a leftover soul fragment. Mithras and Saulot got get-out-jail-free cards for narrative reasons (some would say pet character writer bias).
The rules themselves don't stipulate anything, and we don't lack exemples of diablerie in the setting that left no trace despite gen difference.

Remember when the lead for Mass Effect 3 saw the series finale of the Battlestar Galactica remake and rewrote the entire ending and game around that?

Remember when the CEO of CDPR played Red Dead Redemption 2 and rewrote the entire main questline of CP2077 to be basically that complete with coughing fits?

They're just copying something that blew them away because theyre uncreative as fuck. The CEO of Patadox wants a Cyberpunk 2077 on a Witcher 1 budget.

How could anyone outside of Phyre's head know if Fabian is actually the voice in Phyre's head? They can't. But by having them "confirm" that the voice IS Fabian they throw the player off the trail. It's classic misdirection. It's also why despite all the feedback telling them to ditch Johnny Silverfangs all they did was rework him. They can't get rid of him because he's central to the entire plot mechanism they've built.

There are literally long game segments where you HAVE to play as him and talk to people as him while he also talks to himself. And then you're back as "Phyre" and Fabien keeps talking to you again. And there don't seem to be any parts where you can run around and do random shit, it's a corridor plot narrated by Fabien.

The twist is that the players body is being devoured by the elders blood that they consumed. The voice we're told is "Fabian" isn't Fabian. It's the mad elders consciousness walking up inside of the player while it eats them (un)alive. The process of eating that elder fried the players brain. The powers they "remember" come from the elder blood. The stronger Phyre gets, the more the elder consumes. The character of Fabian is a red herring. He's either just some goon you devoured in those first moments of madness or the player IS Fabian.

I didn’t expect it to be Bloodlines 2 and anyone who did just set themselves up for disappointment which is funny since they were also doomposting about how bad it would be.

In spite of the shitposters it looks polished (careful saying otherwise since you’re defending a bug riddled piece of jank in vtmb). If you don’t expect it to be an actual sequel, then what are you moaning about? It’s not the same genre? Ok once again you can’t both swear they’ll never make a sequel and then cry because it’s not a sequel.

It just seems like people got themselves tangled up like a fucking toddler and really want to throw a tantrum because the game isn’t what they say they knew it would never be.

If it looks like shit to you, who’s making you play it or post in these threads?

It was barely functional as a combat game so I don’t understand why peoplr insist that’s what people liked. Clearly everything else about the game including the many ways to solve the same problems (aka role playing) was what kept people coming back and replaying it.

It’s kind of absurd how often people make this retarded point. Do you think people played KOTOR because it had amazing milsim combat?

I dig the modern day Seattle in Christmas atmosphere of the game, the soundtrack is also nice. I know Schaffer is gone but let's face it, the first game was a thing of its era and its no longer 20 years ago. I love the first game to death despite its shortcomings but I'm glad the new devs aren't try to replicate it.
That being said I'm not really sold on the railroaded approach this one has. The lack of a proper skill system that is based on the tabletop character sheet means there won't be any "skill" checks for dialogue or other stuff, which can reduce the replayability greatly. In the first game you can pick a Ventrue and put points into your social and dominate, so you can pass speech checks and whatnot. I don't know if you can do that as Ventrue now.

No you don’t get it. A certain kind of player with no imagination who wants to hit things plays knight or paladin because all they do is beat something over the head.
Brujah is the clan for those people. Ventrue attract the talkers because they’re all about blue blood politics and thinking they’re better than others.

Nosferatu 1922, 1979 then Shadow of the Vampire is a great trip. Even though it's playing on the 1922 film, it feels like Shadow draws on some elements of the Herzog film as well, with the depiction of the decay of immortality and a vampire film production having a dangerously volatile main "actor".

Let's assume Phyre was the cause of the Great Seattle Fire - either that's who's falling catching up fire in that shot in the pre-order trailer, or that who pushed the vctim through the window. Hence the Torpor. Hence the Gardener's mention to the City blooming in fire.

I think Fabien being alive in Phyre’s head is obviously the whole plot of the game and is due to some conspiracy and the carved marks. It’s pretty pointedly remarked early on that it shouldn’t be happening, so I think it’s a silly thing to nitpick about.

I wish they'd show gameplay from after you become sheriff. The game becomes a bit more freeform structurally and you have side missions and stuff. You don't permission to be in the city initially, which is why it's so hyperfocused on A to B to C.

An hour and a half into the game in the RadBrad stream his next objective was to go visit Ryong to discuss Benny's rogue behavior. So I think you become sheriff about 2 hours in.

Not supposedly possible since the diablerie only really happens when the so called heartblood is being drained, and it can't be segmented, so only one person can supposedly do that.
Malkav potentially being a weird alternative to this since the consciousness of the antediluvian might just be in every of his descendants - one possible explanation why the Malkavian Madness Network exists.
