Vampire: The Masquerade’s blueblood vamps, the Ventrue, are the fourth and last clan being unveiled for Bloodlines 2. In contrast to the surprising addition of the Banu Haqim, proven off throughout the PC Gaming Present, the Ventrue reveal has been simpler to foretell: these vamps are VTM’s aristocracy, heavy hitters that usually have vital positions within the Camarilla, ruling vampire society. They had been playable within the first Bloodlines and had been introduced for the unique model of Bloodlines 2.
Footage of a Ventrue vampire in motion should wait till subsequent yr, however if you happen to select to play as one you’ll be able to anticipate to mesmerise mortals and vamps, forcing them to obey your instructions. And if somebody’s willpower is powerful sufficient to withstand your powers, you’ll be able to construct up your fortitude by feeding, permitting you to take extra injury if it involves a brawl.
As somebody who prefers to speak their means out of hassle in RPGs, the Ventrue are fairly interesting. In my first Bloodlines playthrough, I went for Toreador, a clan with an identical skillset, utilizing seduction to get their means. I believed we’d see a Toreador reveal for Bloodlines 2, as effectively, particularly since that clan was introduced again when Hardsuit Labs was creating the sport, but it surely seems like they have been dropped for this new model.
What’s extra unlucky is that, with this last reveal, we now know for positive that we can’t be capable of play as a Malkavian at launch. This was the clan I used to be most excited to play as, and my Malkavian playthrough of the primary sport was by far the most effective expertise that it supplied, so my disappointment is important.
Nonetheless! There are two extra clans but to be proven off, although they’re going to arrive in post-launch DLC. I beforehand predicted that the DLC clans can be Malkavian and Nosferatu, since their playstyles are so totally different from the opposite clans, and I proceed to suspect this would be the case. We’ll have to attend till 2024 to search out out if my prediction is right.
