Q: So what role does blood play in Bloodlines?

A: Well, you have blood points or the blood pool. This is very important to a vampire - it's what powers his disciplines, which are your vampiric powers. Obviously you fill up on this blood by feeding on somebody, and it's best that you find someone away from the crowd so everyone doesn't freak out.

Feeding can involve the game's in-depth dialogue system. As you'll see here [points to screen, where our vampire is being propositioned by a woman], number two [out of a list of possible dialogue responses when responding to the female NPC] is a seduction line - you can tell that because of the special font and the special colour. We're going to choose that line and feed seductively - because he happens to be a suave vampire.

Some vampires won't have that option, which means that they'll have to feed aggressively, so they first have to subdue their victim, and that gets a little more ugly.
