Innocence means you are going to get eaten by something. And being cynical means you are just going to be eaten a bit further down the road. Acts of brutality are very, very common. But there is also a cerebral side, in that to survive you really need to be a conniving, back-stabbing, manipulative bastard.I didn't much care for Vampire, mainly because I couldn't get over the roadblock of playing a blood-sucking, amoral monster. I understand that Mage, Changeling and Werewolf are a little less vile, but that generally they retain the conniving, manipulative tone of Vampire.The thing I like about Hunter is that finally, the humans get to fight back, however feebly. Based on the flavor text in the book, it is the job of the Hunters to fight valiantly but futilely before they or their family gets killed, maimed, tortured or goes stark, raving mad. Kind of like Cthulhu with a personal touch. I have yet to read one of the short stories where a Hunter gets to go have a beer and celebrate a job well done.Funny though, how many Vampire fans I have found online reviewing Hunter that absolutely hate it. I suspect that a large portion of that is because now your nattily dressed, ultra-goth vampire can get his brains beat in by a redneck with a crowbar. The biggest complaint seems to be "but the Hunters are superhuman too!"</blockquote>
