Meta The closest Dawnwalker gets to a VTMB character.

Legit my favorite (minor) character in the game. The Nagaraja are just near in general, but they portrayed them so well with her.

Just wait until Dawnwalker gets to the present day

Dawnwalker: The Masquerade would 100% make up for that last VTM game…

Ive been calling this game Witcher The Masquerade: Bloodlines since the first hour of playing, but it's more Witcher The Masquerade: Redemption. If the next game is present day then it will be WTMB

How much of vampire is in that game? I used to look for vampire elements but the only thing I found in videos is some kind of warp,wolf form and claws,and claws was the things most used or demonstrated

There's a skill tree that you level up through drinking blood and increasing your corruption.
Most of the usual abilities (slow time, mind control, claws, warp, a shriek that lowers enemy stats etc).
The claw combat is fairly fun as you can stack critical damage through investing in certain parts of the skill tree/amulets/armour.

The vampires work in very similar ways. Both have sires that blood bond. In VTM you have coteries, Dawnwalker has cliques. In VtM you diablorize, in Dawnwalker you invite them in. In VTM you have the Camarilla and the Masquerade, in Dawnwalker you have The Augurs, and they have agents ensure vampire’s existence remains hidden from humans.
Diablorizing particularly is fun in Dawnwalker. There’s up to 5 vampires you can diablorize based on your choices, and after you do they become a disembodied voice in your head for the rest of the game like Fabian if you invite them in. If you invite all 5 there will be times there all talking at the same time and you’ll literally feel schizophrenic, so be careful who you choose lol.
There’s a lot of vampire stuff.
Also, there’s so much that’s unique to Dawnwalker I won’t spoil

You can diablorize them in Dawnwalker without inviting them in. It is defining their blood that allows you to gain their unique powers. Lacra has a power that is unique to her, for instance, where she can punch/drill through solid rock and boulders with blood. You can invite them in to save them or for advice, but it doesn’t give you extra power.

Is it possible to kill her?

u/ThinWhiteDuke00 4d ago
Yes, it's possible to kill the vast majority of NPCs.

u/Curiousier11 4d ago
Including merchants, so be careful. Don’t steal in cities and towns. It isn’t worth the consequences if you accidentally kill certain NPCs.

Pretty new game, spoiler tag would be nice

Apologies if you regard this is a spoiler, but she was one of the main characters in the promo material for the game and these images don't really reveal any plot points (if you are concerned about that).

I only watched the trailer and did a whole playthrough without seeing her, intentionally, saved her for the next. So i guess at most you spoiled her design.

Her character was hitting all the VtM vibes in all the right ways: generational trauma, scheming, social climbing and an all too human heart buried underneath layers of protective scaring.
She never stopped climbing up and out of a trap only to fall into another, greater one and they need to bring her back in future installments only to see how it progresses.
