Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will let you become a super vampire by drinking vamp blood, taking their abilities and combining them 'in hundreds of different ways'

Phyre, the Elder Kindred from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, stares intently at something in the distance, a frown writ into their forehead.

In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, one of the first choices you'll need to make is what clan you'll be repping. Today we learned a bit more about the rebellious Brujah, but also how drinking the blood of other vampire big shots lets you explore other ability trees, turning you into what I have very creatively decided to call a super vampire. 

The Chinese Room emphasises that Bloodlines 2 isn't an "ability optimization game" and doesn't expect players to pore over abilities and weigh them against each other. Straightforward is what the team is aiming for. So you'll just unlock a handful of abilities that reflect your chosen clan's style. That said, there will be opportunities to delve into other ability trees.
