10 Video Game Character Builds You Must NEVER Choose

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is a cult classic within the world of role-playing games. Despite its many bugs and rushed content, it managed to create a remarkably dark setting that completely immersed the player in its gritty reality.

At the start of the game, the player has to choose their character's clan. Each clan has its own history that separates them from other vampires and a set of unique abilities that can alter your play style in a pretty significant way. Additionally, each clan has its own curse, and let's just say that not all curses are created equal.

Two of the vampiric clans, Nosferatu and Malkavian, have curses that drastically change the game—so much, in fact, that for a first-time player, they might just ruin the game for them. The first clan, Nosferatu, has a curse that turns its members into hideous monsters that have to hide in the sewers. Choosing a Nosferatu means you'll spend most of your time underground, unable to enjoy the things happening above. Malkavians, on the other hand, are cursed with madness, which turns all of their dialogue options into incomprehensible ramblings, making each conversation a puzzle.

No one said being a vampire was easy...
