Did factions within Cyberpunk 2077 exist? Absolutely.
Now, this is all great, but I've heard this exact pitch before, especially in a very recent open-world RPG that then didn't deliver: Cyberpunk 2077. These choices would lead to consequences, with different factions then behaving differently to the player in a living world. We also got told back then that the player character would interact with these factions and, at times, have choice in terms of who they side with. These include The Pioneers, The Camarilla, The Baron, The Newcomers and The Unseen. On top of the character classes, there are various factions within the world of Bloodlines 2, which at least three years ago were confirmed as in the game. Vampire faction mechanics that are more than skin deep There will almost certainly be guns in the game, so maybe it makes sense as a well-heeled Ventrue that I'd also lean into ranged combat.Ĭritically, though, these character class differences need to extend outside of combat, so if I'm a super attractive and charismatic Toreador, then I need to be able to express that in gameplay with unique options, and not just resort to hitting or shooting my way to victory 95% of the time.
If I'm an imperious aristocratic Ventrue, then I want to excel at debuffing enemies with my commanding presence. Instead, I want a game where, if I play a Brujah, then I'm a melee master with unique combat abilities and vampiric buffs. In the original Bloodlines only a couple of clans really stood out in terms of unique abilities, such as the blood magic-wielding Tremere or the seemingly axed Nosferatu, with the rest mainly coming down to identical melee or ranged combat with a few similar-looking buff powers triggered. My biggest fear with Bloodlines 2 is that, with its wide variety of clans to play as, including Thinblood, Brujah, Tremere, Toreador, Ventrue and Malkavian, each will play, more or less, identically thanks to its troubled development.
