It woulld have been a nice touch if he was scruffy when we meet him and he shaves after we manage to better him.
“Hunter: The Reckoning — A Time of Monsters” is out now! Topple the vampires from the streets below!
That is how his portrait works.

I never noticed 
; since I got your attention, is running dog, bloodhound but bad ending? I can’t seem to get it, it’s the only ending that I’ve left to get.

It is not. It’s the one you get by siding with Roderick and the Thinbloods.

Ah, yes, the “professional” vampire hunter that managed to both need me to save his ass and hunted a total of exactly zero vampires in my playthrough. LARPers indeed.

I did. The mechanics of it were interesting enough to keep me going, and it’s one I plan on replaying in the future for those mechanics.
You’re right, I apologize if anything I said came off poorly.
Are they actually useful in the end at least? I struggle to see why anyone would go to Gastown instead of Chinatown if you end up having to run into those clowns and they don’t even offer good help in the end.

They can show up and help in the final battle, yeah. Steve can actually save you from Roderick at the end, if I remember right.

Nah, I need this stuff. I might not want it right now when I’m still kinda automatically assuming everything I’ve done is a failure, but I do need this kind of feedback if I wanna actually get better as a writer and game dev.

Look, they’re rich and in a secret society. They probably believe a lot of things that aren’t true…

I think the art is generally really good. The only bit I have anything resembling criticism for is the app icon itself - I’m not sure if it’s just my eyeballs seeing it oddly or whether there’s actually something off about it but the mouth kinda feels like the angle doesn’t quite match up with the angle of the face, kinda like a very subtle version of those anime characters with a mouth on their cheek. I’ve attached the image I’m referring to for context.
Overall though the art is great.

I thought it was not possible to side with them, how do you even do that, why would you care and what could you get out of them?
What are the two outcomes?
Also screw Lydia, she’s a manipulative b*tch

She either ghouls you or set you up for embrace. The former is if you aren’t romancing her and your trust is lower than 65.

Because we are witness to supernaturally dangerous events.
All vampire games justify pro wealth and capitalism propaganda, what do you mean?
Maybe I missed something in my twenty or so alpha and beta playthroughs - where on earth in the game are there wealthy people being persecuted?

No, vampires are the ultimate anti-capitalist collectivists. They only survive by enforcing an artificial monopoly, not by skill or industry, but violence, that they use to loot and mooch from humans that actually produce, invent, and compete though their own skill and merit. And they perpetuate this by operating through an aristocratic hierarchy where only hereditary status / bloodline determines your worth, not individual effort. The Camarilla is actually a metaphor for the Soviet Union - they punish open competition and innovation to preserve their stagnant, conforming system where power flows through political connections, dependence on the state and ideological obedience instead of actual productivity.

I’ll admit if this a troll, I at the very least admire the effort. Either way, please do everyone a favor and go touch grass, preferably for an extended period. And then like, go to your local library and read a book or several. Then maybe you’ll be able to formulate a take that doesn’t make me lose faith in humanity with how uninformed it is.
