“Thanks to our community for the frank feedback on Bloodlines 2 and the Premium Edition. That feedback made it clear: Lasombra and Toreador belong in the base game, so that is what we are doing,” said Marco Behrmann, White Wolf Executive Vice President and Bloodlines 2 Executive Producer.

If it has a solid enough story, I’m probably fine with it. If you’ve ever played the TTRPG of Vampire, you probably know that it has always been the weakest point of the game, while the lore and stories of that world have always been the highlight.
It is yet another of these inner companion-along-for-the-ride games. Likely with the annoying snark and flippancy that goes with these backseat exposition-dumping secondary characters. Let’s say I’m doubtful of the results.
Oh, I’m doubtful for sure. But being light on RPG elements, especially of the source material elements, is not actually a concern for me. I’m much more worried about their plot direction. But… Who knows, it might be good. I’ll wait for the reviews and see what’s up.
