Ventrue using their lineage to impress people: "So like, dude, my dad owns a dealership, you know, my dad. Who owns a dealership. Also my uncle works at nintendo."
Honestly its more like if you had a direct lineage to say Hercules therefore part of that Legend resides in you and thus your predisposed to greatness.
Ha, nice joke. And yet, one that fails to pass the shallowest of the scrutineerings, if one is observant enough to actually know a kindred from a mere mortal. Lineage is not to impress people, it is to show the size of the burden of obligatory nobility that a kin has to shoulder, and how much is expected of him, in terms of greatness and leadership skills, to get the job done when it is needed to be done. You, neonates, are a victim of your times. You think that any two-bit conman with their pockets full of money is one of the blue bloods, with their ridiculous demeanor and violent manners, or the pesky habit of trying to bribe anything and anyone, in order to gather followers and workers for itself. No, you couldn't be further from the truth. You see, the blue bloods are the emperors, kings and queens of yore, those thrusted into power by duty, unwillingly born into power, and forced to carry the burden for the sake of its people. Off course, you can claim that lots of rulers of yore were quite irrational and they put their people in danger more than they lead their people to greater glories, and yet, these rulers are the ones with the shortest reigns, with their deaths well documented. The "stock" where we, the blue bloods draw our kin, is from those who have not only had long ruling period, but those who garnered more glory than disgrace on their fief. We rule because we must. If not by us, the kindred would have been all burned at the stakes of the Roman Catholic Church, as many did, mostly because despite all of our superior vampiric powers over mankind, they outnumber us greatly, and underestimating them was the dire mistake done by your elders that almost put our species in extinction. We can have the final death, neonates, and in this day and age, an incendiary bomb is relatively cheap and easy to make, that any mortal with a bottle, gasoline and a rag can seriously injure a kindred, or even kill it, leaving no chance of escape for this member of our illustrious society to survive its predicament, because the attack is done during the day. If not by us, the Masquerade would have never existed, and we would not be here having this conversation. So yeah, we own several "dealerships" and other kinds of business, but money is a mere tool to keep you all safe, and we GLADLY pay the cost, for all of us survive one more night. Now, all of you may leave, and if you have not found new respect for my kin, you will not survive many more nights to come.
My favorite archetype of Ventrue is 'the cleaner.' You're the sort of Ventrue who would work under the Sheriff or Prince and get your hands dirty for the good of the domain. You're a consummate professional. The 'when you want something done right you do it yourself' type, to add another Bloodlines quote. For jobs that are just too important to send in the hot headed Brujah. It kind of comes off as bringing a little Dark Ages into the modern nights too, demeanor wise.
After they announce the final clan next week: could you keep making these types of videos where you talk about the clans that aren't going to be in the game? I am Toreador levels of addicted to these lore vids of yours right now. I need more of them!!!!
They said they will add more clans via free DLC's after the game release. So some of them will still be playable, my hope is for Setite, Nosferatu and Giovanni.
About how the developers of Bloodlines 2 is planning to determine the Ventrue’s preference: They mentioned in the Ventrue clan introduction video that it will be tied to the Resonance system and that Ventrue in the game will only get a lot of blood out of humans with high Resonance, but that they still be able to feed on animals, blood packs and humans with low Resonance but that they will get much less out of it. They talked about it at around 16:30 in the video. Transcribed: “… since we can’t really give you that strong of a determination [of your Ventrue preference]; what has happened in Bloodlines 1, and now bloodlines 2, it that the thing gets made a little broader while still being quite punishing actually. For bloodlines 2 we are going with the Resonance system, that’s something we talked about before, but to give a quick recap of that as well: essentially, in the lastest version of VTM every human carries a Resonance, essentially a flavour in their blood, whitch is more or less their emotional state, there might be somebody that you pass on the subway arguing loudly on the phone who’s got a lot of rage resonance in them. And there might be somebody else just hanging out at the bus station that might be having a little bit of resonance in them. Which kind of already tells us that there’s different amounts of Resonance in different people, depending on how intensely they feel right now or in general. And for a Ventrue a low amount of Resonance is just not really worth it. So [with] weaker Resonances in people, blood packs, or animals like rats, you don’t get no blood we already, we are still in pre-Alpha so balancing is still ongoing, but we already noticed that that got a little too punishing in the end, but [it’s] radically diminished, and that means, as a player, Ventrue becomes a bit, fittingly, higher maintenance. You’ll want to spend a little more time hunting to get to the good stuff, and you will have to very often plan you combat a little more strategically so that the last enemy standing, which let’s be real here in VTM usually becomes your designated next drink, is tasty enough.” The last paragraph went into the combat which you talked about; how Ventrue needs to be strategic in that situation. Great video as always
Maybe you could extend your series to all clans (or more interesting ones) not just those featured in bloodlines 2? They are very informative and fun to watch and I would love to see material about tzimisce or other sabbat clans
ventrue was my first clan in vtmb1 because the girl looked hot, and it's still my favorite to this day. love playing as this elegant lady in a long black coat with an ax in her hands, running around and dominating everyone
I love that you're bringing up the fact that Ventrue are the leaders for a *good reason*. Like yeah we all have the stories of semi-incompetent or delusional Ventrue, but without them greasing the wheels the Camarilla wouldn't have lasted a generation. Great video! :D
A bit disapointed that our dear Outsar didnt adressed the etymology of the Clan name: "Ventrue" is a French term that designate a wealthy and upper person: so wealthy that his belly is full and rond, bulbous, paunchy (ventre mean belly in French) It is a denonciation of the difference in social-class for people who stuff their faces, feeding on the lowers citizens. It is an adjective related to a sense of Glutony and Greed That said, amazing work and presentation tonight, yet again your presence guide us through the night
@@medramonmasquedecendres2966 if one is *very* upperclass, one needn't display their position. The plebians know their superiors, whether one is in rags or robes. So feel free to wander around like Thor in Endgame, covered in cheeto-dust and ash, waving one's sceptre around. I'm sure people will know you're really important and not mad-as-a-hatter 😜
The "Fortitude" skill I find to be most represenative of "benevolent" ruler...firm, resolute and unyielding. The "Dominate" skill is far more malevolent...perhaps best used by "good" Ventrue as a last resort. Inspire first; conquer last.
Still hoping for the children of Malkav as the last playable (pre-DLC) clan. Very informative video as always, and may I add that you are looking GREAT. Positively glowing.
I feel like Malkavian would be a suitable DLC clan. I loved playing Malk in Bloodlines 1, but if first time players were to pick Malk on their first playthrough it would be hella confusing (if the madness in B2 works the same as in B1 of course). That said, I don't think the developers would pass up the chance to have Malkavians in their game again
Weird Ventrue Preference: Al Capone apparently can ONLY feed from native-born Italian women... which... hooooooooooooow does he not just go full beast mode all the time?
If the writers did their research Al Capone married an Irish-American woman and was known for sleeping with and forming alliances with other ethnic groups.
Lacroix also mentions in the 1st Bloodlines game how difficult the, "folly of leadership," can be. In his words, "Leadership. I wear the Albatross and the Bullseye."
Ooooooo, looking good Outstarr~ Like a boss! ...Or should I say.... Like a Ventrue~ ;) And informative as always! Thank you for educating me on my favorite clan! ^-^
My first character ever was a Ventrue language professor. His preference was for scholarly students (he wasn't gonna drink from any party boys/girls). It made me happy when you said a Venture whos an educator was a good idea ^_^
Also I think that the use of presence from a ventrue is VERY different than the use an archetipypical toreador or brujah....it is not about the use of beauty or intimidation like toreadors or brujah...but the display of regal authority and awe inspiring magesty and respect.
I love your vids... very informative, funny and interesting. I've already preordered this game and got the Blood Moon edition. Can't wait to try out the Ventrue!
Thank you so much Outstar - these are so useful and great for a brush up for those of us who have forgotten or missed things in the past about the clans.
Awesome video and it's cool to have the clan of kings and queens playable. And knowing me I'll probably play Ventrue and I'll be part of the archetype that goes by the saying "the ones who rule do so because they deserve it" basically the Ventrue who are heroes and heroines who prefer to gain status and power the true honorable way by actually going out and taking on the burdens of the herd and other kindred instead of sitting up in a tower and discussing politics and using so-called "underhanded" tactics and by actually stepping up and fight when it's time to battle instead of hiding like a coward and having true loyalty from the other clans by earning it instead of demanding loyalty just cause because I'm a Venture. Yeah that's the archetype I usually do crazy, and risky yes but I still get status and prestige and I'm 100% sure that I'll have help from other clans instead of having for the most part the other clans hate me.
I would love to see a "modern day spartan" type of ventrue in the Anarch movement. Someone who sees the leaders of the camarilla as weak and not worthy to lead. Someone who thinks that battle prowess and a mind for military strategy are signs of noble blood ("ability marks superiority, superiority earns right" or "I'm not a leader because I'm just capable to, I'm capable because i was born to lead"). Someone who preffers to beat you in open conflict instead of schemes and has military/law enforcement/athletics/martial arts related background with noble blood on top.
Fiorenza? Is that you? Anyways, about the leadership of any sect,... anyone would get a bad rep when you try to herd a what can be likened to a clowder of cats.
Ventrue are the best, the tragedy of them clinging to nobility and decorum against the beast and modernity, and the drinking preference choices, open the door to some really interesting roleplay. i had a ventrue who could only drink from thinbloods, and he kept a herd of them. Of course, the camarilla was Delighted to have someone keeping a bunch of walking signs of doom in the city (spoilers: no they weren't, other ventrues shunned him and politely, but firmly crossed him out of the guestlists for fundraiser dinners). Pretty lonely un-life.
I just love how you adjust your clothes to correspond to the clan's character on every clan reveal video :) and then...I saw the end of the video..hahaha..nice one!!!
I love these videos, they give a lot of insight into the clans and help deconstruct some of the stereotypes that surround them. Keep up the good work! Also, based on the clans revealed so far, which one do you want to do your first playthrough as?
Gods! Thanks! One of the most favourite clans ever. But will you do some explanations on the non playable clans? Like Tzimisce (second favourite) for example?
Very fun watching. I enjoyed this very much. We use to play a free form version of the game on IRC. It was a lot of fun. We had an interesting group of Ventrue of which I played one.
The lineage sheet: this slytherin is over here cackling. I KNEW I picked the right clan to start with! ...It’s been about 3 years since I played, and I’m disappointed I didn’t get to put my poor character through this /obnoxiously/ slytherin right of passage. Every time they get their party in trouble. For forever.
I think the last clan will be Nosferatu only because one can be seen prominently in the announce trailer. Since all players start out as thinbloods, I believe the only way we can join a full blooded clan is through diablerization based on what little I know of the lore. As that Nos on the trailer looked like he was about to become the player character's lunch, I will place a good bet that the Noseratu are the last clan to be revealed.
I would like the true tzimisce as the last clan announced. And you make a fine corporate lady even in youre sweater XD. It looks great. So well done , ma'am(a)!
Hector Acevedo congrats on your foresight at least the first bit... hoping your predictions hold true for the dlc and hope werewolf’s get a bit better showing this time around. Sure Nines was no joke but neither are they heh
Thank you very ,much sweetie, your videos are helping me a lot. As soon as the quarentine is over i will join a group o vampire rpg, learning all i need from you, i want to really roleplay my character.
outstar do you think that in bloodlines two it would be some technocracy quest involving the second inquisition? because i think that the technocracy are the new faction of power in this period of time. the shapeshifters had their time in prehistory, the mages had their time before medieval age and the vampires had theirs too, now it's time for the "new" human to take the sit of power.
Yeah, the technomcracy are definitely incharge now. Really vampires and fera and changelings should just move into the umbra. If it wasn't for their ties to humans, they'd basically be all bygones now anyways.
They did hint that the last clan will be one not in BL1. I don't know much about the other clans, because I'm new to the world outside the video games, but I'm always up for new playable "races"; like when they added Qunari to 'Dragon Age'.
Despite those clans playable in BL2, please give your analysis of all the other clans. You are very thorough and it is a great help to learn more of this community which impression will allow greater acceptance into it by the more enthusiastic individuals.
I think that the last one will be Nosferatu and they will have Obfuscate and Animalism. Both of these disciplines are not exclusive to other clans that will be there.
When I first discovered VTM, Ventrue was one of my least favourite clans (and playing Bloodlines didn't help to improve my opinion), but recently I started to like them. My favourite clan is still a matter of debate, but the strongest contendant for now is Lasombra (the other contendants are Tremere and Toreador), so I really hope Outstar's prediction about Bloodlines 2 is right.
@@vector3813 i'm sorry you feel that way, from what they showed the experience does seem to be different than the first. And don't forget the free clans post release!
I'm hoping for Malkavian. They are an awesome clan and one of the most popular due to the special dialogue options you get with them. Like making a thug see his friends as salmon and he a bear, making him attack his friends.
If you wanna really settle down that silly and inexpert Brujah who contest everything you do (no matter what) put him in charge, he will see what really mean make hard decisions and mantain power; eventually he screw up everything (maybe with your help 😈) then you will put him down and everyone will salute your return more happy than before.
Dignity, grace, honor
Lacroix: Hold my casket
AHAHHAHahahahahahahahaha
I found his way of kneeling, crying and begging for a key very dignified and gracious.
His character could have developed better.
Malkavians had it right...the Jester Prince, indeed.
You should say "hold my sarcophage"
Ventrue using their lineage to impress people: "So like, dude, my dad owns a dealership, you know, my dad. Who owns a dealership. Also my uncle works at nintendo."

I would love to see a "modern day spartan" type of ventrue in the Anarch movement. Someone who sees the leaders of the camarilla as weak and not worthy to lead. Someone who thinks that battle prowess and a mind for military strategy are signs of noble blood ("ability marks superiority, superiority earns right" or "I'm not a leader because I'm just capable to, I'm capable because i was born to lead"). Someone who preffers to beat you in open conflict instead of schemes and has military/law enforcement/athletics/martial arts related background with noble blood on top.
------woohoooo !!!!!!!
Have been waiting all day may fair lady!!!
Love your chanel!!!
Fiorenza? Is that you?
Anyways, about the leadership of any sect,... anyone would get a bad rep when you try to herd a what can be likened to a clowder of cats.
Victor my boy 😉.
It's the old crazy man who Malkiv hit in the head with a mirror
I apreciate the effort even though you haven't been feeling 100%
Ventrue are the best, the tragedy of them clinging to nobility and decorum against the beast and modernity, and the drinking preference choices, open the door to some really interesting roleplay. i had a ventrue who could only drink from thinbloods, and he kept a herd of them. Of course, the camarilla was Delighted to have someone keeping a bunch of walking signs of doom in the city (spoilers: no they weren't, other ventrues shunned him and politely, but firmly crossed him out of the guestlists for fundraiser dinners). Pretty lonely un-life.
Thank you for always taking your time to explain us the lore about the clans. Always fun to listen to these.
I feel embarrassed that I wasn't aware you were expecting after watching so many videos, congratulations.
I know with the wink you weren't suggesting that we kill our sire..never....
I was going to make some remark about how awesome you are but, more importantly, everyone is pulling for you and we all love you!!
I just love how you adjust your clothes to correspond to the clan's character on every clan reveal video :) and then...I saw the end of the video..hahaha..nice one!!!
I love these videos, they give a lot of insight into the clans and help deconstruct some of the stereotypes that surround them. Keep up the good work! Also, based on the clans revealed so far, which one do you want to do your first playthrough as?
I'm team Toreador!
@@Outstarwalker Nice. I'm planning to do Tremere first, but Toreador's a contender for second.
i WANT TZIMICZE, GIVE ME TZIMIZCE. eh who am i kidding i will not get that eh
Never lol
Mass embracing seems like a Sabbat thing to do. Don’t be so sure.
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Sabbat aren't a thing in V5
I think they're still working on sabbat in v5, besides we get mass embraced but we dont mass embrace others
@@alexeirichards416 Mass Embrace is difficult in V5 because it means losing Humanity every time, so you need multiple vampires embracing at once
A lot of thanks for enlightning us and ty for speaking more slowly, especially for foreigners like myself.
Watching this playlist again. Just wanna say how I loooove the way she dresses for every clan!
Gods! Thanks! One of the most favourite clans ever.
But will you do some explanations on the non playable clans? Like Tzimisce (second favourite) for example?
I'm actually making a campaign with my friends who don't know anything about WoD. The Troll player is a Ventrue.
Nice video ow there's a little vampire on the way.
Great stuff once again!
Keep it up. Love your work. Vince is a stud. ♥
This video reminds me why I have to find my book of nod and reread it. Great video Lady Outstar :p
Very fun watching. I enjoyed this very much. We use to play a free form version of the game on IRC. It was a lot of fun. We had an interesting group of Ventrue of which I played one.
You are amazing Outstar!
I always think that Outstar's outro where she waves her hand is actually her trying to use Cloud Memory on us.
Great Video, as always.
The lineage sheet: this slytherin is over here cackling.
I KNEW I picked the right clan to start with!
...It’s been about 3 years since I played, and I’m disappointed I didn’t get to put my poor character through this /obnoxiously/ slytherin right of passage.
Every time they get their party in trouble.
For forever.
the make up for every clan is awesome. This one looks truly ventrue.
Nanna sends her love
Princess Macabre Nanna I love you. ❤️
Great video as always!
I think the last clan will be Nosferatu only because one can be seen prominently in the announce trailer. Since all players start out as thinbloods, I believe the only way we can join a full blooded clan is through diablerization based on what little I know of the lore. As that Nos on the trailer looked like he was about to become the player character's lunch, I will place a good bet that the Noseratu are the last clan to be revealed.
If you start as thinblood, you have choice. And... I don`t see logic. Who want become Nosferatu ? No one want live in sewers and look like shit.
Calling Sire daddy from now on.
I would like the true tzimisce as the last clan announced. And you make a fine corporate lady even in youre sweater XD. It looks great. So well done , ma'am(a)!
"There is no such thing as "True tzimisce" there are only the tzimisce and the eldest. Hmpf!" *turns nose up* 🧛♂️🍷🏰
The irony of seeing a Prager U ad on this particular clan video...
Last clan is Malkavian. Gangrel will most likely be a DLC introduced with werewolves.
Last Clan is Nosferatu
Hector Acevedo congrats on your foresight at least the first bit... hoping your predictions hold true for the dlc and hope werewolf’s get a bit better showing this time around. Sure Nines was no joke but neither are they heh
Well, thank you for all your Clan explanation videos and wish you have a healthy child!
I recognize The Deus Ex Human Revolution. Great OST. And great video.
Woah I'm that guy the guy that plays that one Ventrue, woah!
anyone else kept looking at this sparkling necklace? it's fucking mesmerizing..
iirc tremere are also the winston wolf characters when someone breaks the masquerade
Thank you very ,much sweetie, your videos are helping me a lot. As soon as the quarentine is over i will join a group o vampire rpg, learning all i need from you, i want to really roleplay my character.
Thanks again for the lore videos!
Another fantastic vid! And congratulations!!!
I wish you kept doing the remaining clan videos. Would love to see the Salubri for example :/

outstar do you think that in bloodlines two it would be some technocracy quest involving the second inquisition? because i think that the technocracy are the new faction of power in this period of time. the shapeshifters had their time in prehistory, the mages had their time before medieval age and the vampires had theirs too, now it's time for the "new" human to take the sit of power.
Yeah, the technomcracy are definitely incharge now. Really vampires and fera and changelings should just move into the umbra. If it wasn't for their ties to humans, they'd basically be all bygones now anyways.
Love your videos, they are fun to watch.
They did hint that the last clan will be one not in BL1. I don't know much about the other clans, because I'm new to the world outside the video games, but I'm always up for new playable "races"; like when they added Qunari to 'Dragon Age'.
When did they hint that and what was the hint?
Despite those clans playable in BL2, please give your analysis of all the other clans. You are very thorough and it is a great help to learn more of this community which impression will allow greater acceptance into it by the more enthusiastic individuals.
Potence and Dominate are both exclusive to other Clans, so I'm 100% sure that we ain't getting Lasombra next. If ever...
I think that the last one will be Nosferatu and they will have Obfuscate and Animalism. Both of these disciplines are not exclusive to other clans that will be there.
Can you please make video like that for the rest of Vampire clans? ( not only in Bloodlines 2 game but for all tabletop V5 version)
Ventrue are back. Kings came back to rule the night. Can't wait to check how Ventrue gonna look in VTMB2.
When I first discovered VTM, Ventrue was one of my least favourite clans (and playing Bloodlines didn't help to improve my opinion), but recently I started to like them.
My favourite clan is still a matter of debate, but the strongest contendant for now is Lasombra (the other contendants are Tremere and Toreador), so I really hope Outstar's prediction about Bloodlines 2 is right.
thank you very much :)
very interesting
Lasombra? After the Ventrue reveal has 0 chances to be the last clan at releast, hell probably not even DLC.
Sadly but yes. I won`t buy it. If i want play this clans, i can play VTMB1.
@@vector3813 i'm sorry you feel that way, from what they showed the experience does seem to be different than the first. And don't forget the free clans post release!
I want the last clan reveal to be Tzimisce
Your voice is my favorite sound.
I'm hoping for Malkavian. They are an awesome clan and one of the most popular due to the special dialogue options you get with them. Like making a thug see his friends as salmon and he a bear, making him attack his friends.
Pregnant Outstar! Late to the party, but congratulations!
Ventrue: Cause someone has to run the Asylum
If you wanna really settle down that silly and inexpert Brujah who contest everything you do (no matter what) put him in charge, he will see what really mean make hard decisions and mantain power; eventually he screw up everything (maybe with your help 😈) then you will put him down and everyone will salute your return more happy than before.
So glad my BL1 clan is in 2! *poses with a crown* bow down bishes
Well... mmmm... crown is lasombra symbol

Can you do a video about kuei jin one day? Love your videos
Just ask Victor Temple about Ventrue Anarchs....the once Undisputed Baron of the Valley.
Don't forget, Lord of Infinite Black SUVs!
