    Instead of a thin-blood, you’re an Elder fresh from torpor.

    Welp, there goes the exploration of the world factor.

      Depends on how long the torpor lasted. If it was for a couple of centuries, a lot of has changed in 200 years. The player is going to have to find out the new political players, guns, vehicles, new clans, etc.

      If the player was in torpor for a couple of decades, yeah the world exploration will be dull.

      True, it’ll make it more confusing for new people just now picking up the IP, and telling them to play a 20-year old game for context is a hard sell.

      As someone who already played VTMB, I’m excited to be playing as an Elder for once instead of the standard fledgling.

      No no see you just woke up from Torpor, so yeah you’re an elder, but also you’re super weak, and nobody knows who you are so you won’t get any respect until you’ve done some basic bitch errands. But EVENTUALLY, you’ll be powerful and respected.

      Yeah this “Elder fresh from torpor” angle just completely killed my excitement, shit sounds so… bland now. So typical.
