Vampire Powers

[mortal Offline]

@Regent Powers have been talked about a little and hints of them have been seen in preview pictures and videos but there hasen’t been much detail. Could you give us some more information about them? Whether they have a general name like VtM powers are called Disciplines, what powers there will, how powers will work, how they will obtained and stuf like that

Or French Cousin, ⚜⚜⚜darkslayer45⚜⚜⚜

Or better yet, their bastard forsaken cousin who seeks vengeance on the world for the loss of his darkslayer birthright and became a Pirate. ☠☠☠darkkiller45☠☠☠

Special characters aren’t allowed either :). There will most likely be a Naming Policy of sorts.

Well this topic isn’t about Vampire powers anymore

I don’t see how the Vampires of the xxxdarkslayerxxx family are not about power.

@08abur is right. We’ve had our fun and lived a little. Back on topic everyone :).

Fiiiiiiiiiiine. But just cuz you asked nicely.
So Vampire Powers! Are they called Disciplines or do you have another word for them? Will you start with any whatsoever when turned or do you have to buy it with exp or some such later on? Do you buy them with regular exp/insert here or is there some other system in place for it? Any clues to what manner of powers might be available? Anything you can tell us at this moment that won’t cause the rest of the development team to hunt you down on the streets?

I can say in our universe vampires have your powers that you’d expect (persuasion, enhanced strength, hearing, site, taste and touch, speed, etc.) Also there’s Blood Magic which is depicted in our concept art page. We’ll be talking about what’s earned & how at a later time.

Is the blood magic what we saw in the gameplay trailer when he is running on the rooftops and shadow/blood comes out of his hands as projectiles towards the guy on the street?

That was a functionality test with a placeholder effect, yes. The final animation of the character casting and magic effect will look different.

It might be early to tell, but you mentioned enhanced taste among other things; will that be featured somehow in the game or is it more to give an idea on what Vampires are like in Dogma?

I also wonder, while supernatural beings other than Vampires are not expected to be featured much until at least an expansion; how does supernatural powers generally work on other supernatural creatures?

The latter. As for other supernatural creatures, we’re way to far ahead to discuss them in any detail at this current time

Does that suggest that it differs between and that there is no general rule that supernatural powers work less/equally efficiently between all? If it’s not too much to ask of course? =>
