[QUOTE="Raduin711, post: 8007815, member: 15303"] I think V5 has made some pretty necessary changes to the lore and how the world of Vampire works, and I feel like it brings it a bit closer to what Vampire has always supposed to have been about. The books spent so much time talking the talk of personal horror, but when they walked the walk with lore and mechanics, I feel like V20 kind of got away from that. Moving the conflict away from Camarilla vs. Sabbat makes a lot of sense. It's kind of hard to have a secret vampire shadow war with cell phone cameras everywhere. Anarchs vs. Camarilla makes a lot more sense from a personal horror perspective. Hunger and Feeding get mechanics in V5 at least in theory look a lot better. Hunger in V20 is a gas-tank of blood, and managing it seems pretty easy because you always know how much you have to spend. V5 hunger is harder to pin down (how much food do you have in your stomach right now?) because you never know which way a rouse check will swing. The idea that you are always a little hungry unless you take a life is a new idea, but makes sense in the setting IMO, but I understand how people might react negatively to a change like that to the lore. The extra focus on hunting styles I think is also welcome. I get how people will be turned off by not every clan being in the core book, and the changes made to the disciplines, and other changes (I will certainly miss the Count Orlok-looking Nosferatu) but I think the changes are for the better on the whole. But I am not a diehard fan (Mage was always my jam) [/QUOTE]
