Paradox has started to release more tidbits about their upcoming return to the Vampire: The Masquerade universe in Bloodlines 2, specifically your abilities as a member of the Thinblood clan.
In the Vampire: The Masquerade universe, Thinbloods are second-class citizens of the vampire world, and are weaker than the full-blooded vampires that belong to various other clans. That doesn’t mean you’re without hope, as not only can you join other clans, but you also have abilities of your own.
At first, new vampires will have one of three Thinblood disciplines to choose from, giving them a different set of supernatural abilities. Joining one of the other five clans in Seattle (which is where the game takes place) will also unlock more abilities and upgrades.
As a Thinblood, you have the option to focus on abilities related to Bats (which include being able to glide and float, as well as summon swarms of bats), Mentalism (telekinesis and the ability to levitate) and Mist (conjuring up clouds that help you sneak, or use it to incapacitate your foes).
You can check out the video below for more on the abilities. You can also check out Paradox’s recent Twitch stream that shows off more gameplay related to these abilities.
Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 is due out next year for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
