[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5663551, member: 82106"] Hmmmmm, right, so it has to match one particular set of currently popular variations of vampire lore exactly or it is 'not a vampire'. Now, I can understand some of the logic of giving people what they're familiar with, but in fact you get a great deal of that. You can also find plenty of vampire lore which doesn't include most of the things you're arguing are missing. In fact a lot of what people are arguing is missing is stuff that was added to the genre by one guy in one novel. I think they gave us the core platform. A pretty nice vampire that matches a lot of the old vampire lore and can easily be leveraged in various ways depending on exactly how you want to use and depict the PC vampire.
