Part of the problem is that Paradox tried to spread out of the niche content, to try and do more then what they were known for.
I assume their "analyst" said that it's not worth it, as in not enough people would buy a game like that to make it worth having the team work on something like that, as in their time would be better spend making next DLC for CK3. Which makes sense form business standpoint.
What do you mean by spread out niche content?
I mean, they tried to grow their brand beyond the EU4/CK3/HoI4/Stellaris 4x style games. They wanted to get into things like RPGs and other forms of games, outside what their core competency is. It was a failure though, so they have done a retrenchment back into said core parts of their business.
Given what the Giovanni get up to. A machcostic loli ghoul makes sense for them.
I would vote for the Scandinavian - that also has great potential when he runs across the right or wrong Lupines, Mages or maybe some Dreamers (Huldas etc.)
Being suspected to be a Gangrel or Tremere could be very deadly, especially in the "old country",
This is one of the most un-Lasombra things out there.
there is a merit which is basically "I don't know why this happens or how but miracles happen around me" including the Eucharist turning to flesh and blood, crying statues, etc
I made a finished VTMB AU story with a Gangrel as the protagonist
Is the protagonist named Jubal?
Gave it a read. Now at chapter 11, I think? It's a little weird but due to some demonic entity Jubal and co got trapped in some mental hell, he gets to see Jack's past.
Malkavian, I don't really understand why I just think there interesting and complex and can have a lot of fun with them.
Oh yes, of course. They are ethe ones that see through all the bullshit and political nonsense. They have their heads on. Why Therese Voermann is a stunning example of discipline.
For VTM: (Koldun) Tzimisce, even if I think they are mostly misused since people tend to go for "muhahaha look how evil I am I turned this person into a chair" instead of the much scarier "soft-spoken and polite young man/woman" and you slowly begin to realize how completly alien they actually are.
Do they apply additional flesh on their body like grafting? To shape their body? Pretty freaky if you ask me but hey to each their own.
No, they mostly work with what is already there, grafting would be a higher level power. Which is why this can't be used to just "give" yourself max strength, additional health and stuff like that.
Venture because I have a mind control fetish.
Venture have Dominate. Aren't they're the same thing?
