I have no context of what you're saying. I play as a Vampire, don't I? Yes - that was a lot to throw at you at once lol. You're a vampire, and your bloodline or clan is basically a mix of your background and class and you choose it at the beginning of the game. So like...what kind of elf am I, a Dalish or City or ancient. (or one of those cool guerilla murdering elves who worship the forgotten ones )

Of the Clans that can Embrace you, Toreador and Ventrue are good social characters, while Brujah, Gangrel and Temere are slightly better at combat. Nosferatu can be frustrating (monstrous appearance, forced stealth) but worth it at least once, as they make Bloodlines an almost completely different game. While I'd wait for the second or third character for spoilers, you MUST play a Malkavian, as their insane dialogue choices and hallucinations are a riot . I have no context of what you're saying. I play as a Vampire, don't I? Clans in Vampire: The Masquerade have their own subcultures, individual powers and penalties. For example, Brujah and Gangrel (except that Brujah are better in groups and Gangrel are more loners) are fierce warriors, Toreador are charismatic artists, Tremere have the best spell casting, and Ventrue are highly influential mob and corporate types. Because they look the most monstrous, Nosferatu have to avoid being seen by humans*, but this has made them the best rogues and hackers. Malkavians are insane, but can have unique psychic insight.
*The signature Masquerade is upheld by most vampires to keep humanity ignorant of their existence.

Oh. I want to be a pretty vampire who makes everyone want to bang her. Which group is that? (haha, although rogue appeals as well.)

Oh. I want to be a pretty vampire who makes everyone want to bang her. Which group is that? (haha, although rogue appeals as well.) Well... it is an older game and the CC was limited, so YMMV. Of the defaults, Toreador, Tremere and Ventrue are the most conventionally attractive, though Gangrel and Brujah do have a nice "punk" vibe. You can spec your attributes however you like, but it's not as feasible to max out Charisma on a Nosferatu . This is just the vanilla game, there might be some mods for more customization.

What if its the main character, in the next game, that carries out Solas' plans? I'm sure at the beginning of the game, the player will have the opportunity to recruit companions and just like DAI, will start out with 3 mandatory companions. What if one of the companions is an elf that is best buds with Solas? No one knows this, but is well known around the community and willing to help stop Solas. He/she explains some of the things that the main character might/need/want to do to stop Solas. At the end, Solas shows up. At that point, the elf companion reveals that he/she led the main character and others on a quest that ended up helping Solas. I'm sure the main character will be in shock, and have a 'cat-got-your-tongue' look.

But I think cat's out of the bag when it comes to revelations that one of our companions has a secret agenda that we more or less aided with. At this point players will be suspicious of anyone - in fact I wouldn't be surprised if DA4 would be the game of 'okay, who here is working for Solas? Or someone else?"

If the game starts out with a flavour of "Okay, which one of you have shady agendas that I'm not aware of" then pls pls pls let that character NOT be a mage again this time, LoL.
Morrigan -> OGB (granted, it's optional) Anders -> Blowing up the Chantry Solas -> Fen'harel and up to this point we only know of his intention but 'what is it exactly he's planning' still pretty much a mystery.
No, IB doesn't count because he's been upfront from the beginning that he's Ben Hasrath (and blatantly obvious he's a follower of the Qun)
If there is going to be a backstabber/hidden agenda companion that will take us by surprise, I'd prefer it non mage and non human/elf this time. Probably dwarf/vashoth just for the heck of it (and something different)

But yeah, Bloodlines - all it's faults and quirks included - remains one of my all time favourite games. The community patching continues and is absurdly dedicated.

Blackwall? Nah, Blackwall wasn't who he said he was but his only agenda was to help the Inquisition. He sought self love and purpose in it. I want someone who is like a total KISA kind saving puppies with sword and shield turn out to be the spy slave of the biggest Tevinter Asshole Magister or Solas himself. Like if Cullen were to betray you.
