Many of those were obviously a d**k choices, but still in line of vampire just surviving from night to night. There are ways to loose Humanity by making certain choices (not just killing random people outside dialogue), but those choices usually involve PC leading others to certain doom (convincing Thin Blood to kill president) or commiting crimes (certain instances of stealing, extortion). I don't think your description is exactly accurate. The first game was great, but it was still rather black and white on it's approach to certain things: "Bust up that gang of drug dealers preying on children or you'll loose a humanity point!" to "Stand up to that racist NPC throwing around insults or you'll loose a point of humanity!" It's not bad to have that in general, but when it comes down to it, why would my character need to care about those things, and why would choosing to not engage in them automatically make me more 'evil' and/or cause me to loose control of my character (Beast taking over more often)? real world) arbitrary moral guideline says we have to be. He wasn't going out every night and kicking puppies or punching babies for the hell of it, but at the same time his motivations and desires differed drastically from what humans and most vampires would consider to be 'normal'.Įh, probably a pipe dream but it would be cool if we could have the option of playing our creature of the night as what we are, rather than what an outside context (i.e. He wanted to explore the nature of his clan's disciplines, but this didn't necessarily make him a monster. My Tzimice vampire wasn't interested in the petty politics of the Cammarila, insofar as he knew enough to avoid them but otherwise took no part in their discussions, nor was he interested in trying to act like a mortal human. This was about embracing your nature as a vampire and becoming something more though I really appreciated how the books didn't automatically label such perspectives as: different = evil. One I always found to be really interesting when it came to roleplaying my characters was the Path of the Outsider. The default was obviously the Path of Humanity, wherein your Cainnite was focused on acting as human as possible so as to hold onto their control though it was less about acting good and more about what aspect of humanity you wanted to emulate (including the darker concepts).
In the tabletop (in the older editions at least) you could choose to follow a different 'path' in how you dealt with your Beast. I'm guessing this won't be made part of the final gameplay, but it would be really cool if we got a variant of the path system.
