The impression I'm getting from the factions is that they've taken a more inductive approach to their creation, inductive might not be the right word but it's like they had a putative idea of what kind of factions they wanted and then thought about what kind of clans/motivated agents/individual vampires would affiliate with such a group and under which circumstances and how that would affect the faction rather than having an explicit idea of the faction they wanted and creating vampires specifically to fit that mold. It makes the factions seem more situated/organic/particular-to-the-setting. Thanks for the info. That doesn't sound bad, if they are really going that route. And now that I think about it, Newcomers/Tremere being opened to another clans makes sense, considering there is no Pyramid to answer to at this point.

I'm more curious how exactly the clan selection process is going to function.
The idea is that we pursue quest-lines and are eventually rewarded with the opportunity to drain a disappointing grunt or captured rival of the relevant clan, right?
So if the clan-rewarding quest-lines are tied to factions and faction choice doesn't factor into which clans are available to you, that means that Seattle must have at least 25 obsolete vampires just waiting to be used as your personal bloodbag as punishment for their uselessness. Or that there is one vampire of each clan that nobody will miss and everyone can get their hands on and don't mind feeding to their promising new soldier regardless of how counter to their politics the chosen clan is.
And if the quest-line is given by independents with no ties to any of the major factions then that means that you begin your career in a new clan by aiding in the outright capture and murder of one of its members.
Unless there are five separate clan introduction quest-lines given by members of the actual clans outside the major factions. Which would probably be the most elegant and most logistically plausible solution, albeit also the most resource-intensive one. And in that case I can't wait to see how the Malkavian sales pitch is going to sound, that a sane thin-blooded PC would ever be tempted enough to bite.
The decision to make the PC a thin-blood still confounds me. It takes so many of the RPG's cool and interesting traditions and just muddles and makes them way more complicated. Though the first game did that too by almost making you Caitiff, and only letting you vaguely capitalize on your clan's good graces by earning them first.

15 years later I'm quite fine with them taking some extra time.

Best thing for the game, honestly. Now they can devote time to polishing it, especially with how the demo looked like.

I'm not expecting a massive overhaul of what we've seen, but more time to work on a game is almost always a good thing and will be a boon for the game in the end.

Fair enough, I have seen people get really excited about delays thinking it would be an overhaul or massive improvement and then get upset when its not.

For people who made an account to get blood points and thingies for the game on the official website (use paradox account). There is new development. There is now a new link there called "Embrace the Unknown". It will lead to an invite to this Saturday charity twitch event hosted by Outstar where, if you have a twitch account, you'll be able to get twitch drops (for blood points). The stream will have some Bloodline2 devs, some people playing and talking about the newly released Coterie of New York game and a bunch of other things (the official discord at discord.gg/bloodlines2 news has more info). And it also sound like a new ARG is starting. edit: Paradox posted the newsbit on Reddit too, for people allergic to discord.

I really am hyped for this game. VTMB is one of my alltime favorite computer rpgs and it is a flawed gem. I have high hopes for this new game.

I hope they eventually sell official merch. I need those Faction posters. Especially the Camarilla one.

I think most people did.
Googling "sewing meat 1987" is the first thing I did, but I ignored that specific result based on the entire headline. And yet, it's basically Tzimisce's art and it should have made me go "ohhhh".
