A little late but here is a cliff notes version of the video we posted a little bit ago, the notes of our exclusive interview with Jennell Jaquays.

Jennell NotesDonovan asked about any special love Malk's will get in the MMO like they did on Bloodlines.
Jennell answered by saying the idea is with the sandbox environment of the WoD players can play any kind of character they want. Thus they seem to feel players role playing, not forced scripted 'insanity' events, is the best route to go.

Harl took back his previous comment that he wasn't looking forward to the Trans-gender in Gaming panel. As he felt it was well worth the time and a very emotional and moving as well as informative. This due to several people coming forward with their personal stories on this topic.

Jennell then talked about how worried she was not many people would show up and to her surprise it was a packed house.
She then talked a bit about the panel and how many transgendered NPCs are in games both past and present.

We talked about Dark Souls and how there is a gender slider, where you can be a butch female or girly male. Jennell said that actually is more realistic then the simply male/female option in most games.

Harle asked about how the WoD MMO will use, if at all, the topics discussed in the trans-gender panel.

Jennell stated the MMO will be "a comfortable space" to all types of players including those of different sexualities.

Don asked about character creation, using something like Champion's Online due to the massive customization.

Jennell stated they used the EVE character generator "as a starting point" for what is in the MMO.

Jennell confirmed the video at FanFest was actually in-game footage and not pre-rendered video.

  mmmh, i still like to have some crazy ass feed back when you do the malkavian inspection thing... just saying, because each malkavian is different, we don't implement it at all... is just really lame...

    Hopefully they meant the random events as a Stop Sign. I wish they will have some nice and funny triggers for our abilities. And they totally said that they watch us here. So if we will show united front on what things we need and to what degree we want them to have in the game they may listen to us.
