by

Summary

  • Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 features undead hunters, including the I.A.O. and Santiago.
  • The I.A.O. are well-equipped and challenging, while Santiago is a mysterious, ancient vampire hunter.
  • Santiago might have the “True Faith,” making them a huge threat to vampires.

In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, the nocturnal beasts you encounter aren’t alone; day-walkers who chase the supernatural have emerged, and this time, there are several factions eager to take on the role of the next “Buffy,” hunting the undead.

In the present narrative of the Vampire: The Masquerade role-playing game, various human groups have uncovered the presence of vampires, leading to their pursuit. Though the Masquerade still stands, the secret of vampiric existence is precariously close to being exposed, leaving vampires vulnerable and potentially facing annihilation at any moment.

As a seasoned gamer diving into Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, it’s a no-brainer that undead hunters make the perfect adversaries to keep things thrilling. According to the game’s official site, there are two formidable factions I’ll likely cross paths with during my journey – the I.A.O., and Santiago, who could be an individual or a group of determined foes.

Vampire Hunters Are On The Move In Bloodlines 2

The Information and Awareness Office (I.A.O.), headed by Agent Baker, comprises agents who are meticulously trained and well-prepared. These agents collaborate when confronting the main character. One mission within the game requires locating a stronghold of the I.A.O., which is expected to be one of the most difficult stages in the gameplay.

Santiago appears to be more enigmatic, as it seems he’s been reborn in contemporary times, resuming his role as an ancient vampire slayer. Items such as crosses of Saint James found at the sites of those vanquished by him hint towards his connection with a religious order.

It’s likely that Santiago will portray the antagonist known as “True Faith” in the game. In Vampire: The Masquerade universe, only one in several million individuals can manifest genuine faith, which causes harm to supernatural entities. While they are relatively rare in tabletop RPGs, they appear frequently in World of Darkness video games. It’s reasonable to assume that Santiago will employ this ability during a boss fight.

One of the challenging aspects when playing Vampire: The Masquerade is keeping your humanity intact despite being an undead creature. Fortunately, if someone initiates aggression against you, you can retaliate without consequences. Consequently, if characters like I.A.O. members or Santiago pose a threat, they could become the next targets for the protagonist, free from guilt.
