Gangrel's motivations seem cool, but he reminds me very strongly of a specific FF villain type. And given where else this game is screaming FF, it's hard to get into.

Avoiding spoilers and talk sounds super appealing. Too bad that means shutting oneself off from the most active areas of fandom entirely. I did try, but :\ And now you can't even go on FFN without big fat spoilers right on the front page.
