Vampire: Bloodlines Interview

HomeLan Fed has conducted an interview with Troika’s Leonard Boyarsky about their upcoming first-person RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. An excerpt to follow:

Q: What kinds of abilities will players have in the game?

A: The abilities in Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines depend on which clan a player chooses, as every clan has a distinctive combination of three Vampiric powers known as Disciplines. Some of these Disciplines are: Celerity (Super Speed), Potence (Super Strength), Obfuscate (Ability to blend into the shadows making the PC virtually invisible), Dementate (Ability to drive NPCs crazy), Dominate (Ability to make NPCs do your bidding), as well as several others.

Along with the Disciplines, players can use (Blood Buffs) to increase Strength, Dexterity and/or Stamina temporarily by spending blood points. This is great for those instances when you want to pick something up that’s to heavy for you, or pick a lock that is beyond your intrusion feat just pump some blood into strength or dexterity and you are temporarily able to pick up that object or bypass that lock.
