The World of Darkness features a multitude of distinct vampire clans, each with their own unique cultures and powers. In The Chinese Room's Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, you can prowl Seattle as one of four: the Brujah, Tremere, Banu Haqim and Ventrue. It's a strong selection, and from what I experienced in my exclusive Bloodlines 2 hands-on, they're all shaping up to be a lot of fun to play.
But there's a notable omission in this list: the fan-favourite Malkavian clan. These tormented seers were the standout clan in the first Bloodlines, with their eccentric dialogue options and penchant for seeing what others cannot. So it's a shame, then, that protagonist Phyre won't be Malkavian, but I've still got good news for fans of the clan.
