How would you feel about a Deus Ex-style WoD game where you start as a human?

Discussion

I feel like a game like VTMB, on crack, with a Cyberpunk/Deus Ex level of city size and ways to approach problems, but where you start as the bottom of the food chain, could be incredible.

Just picture the options:

You could be a human joining the Inquisition, learning all kinds of skills and weapons to investigate, detect, counter vampires. The game could even borrow some stuff from the likes of Vanitas (an anime) and let you use "doping" to temporarily match a werewolf or a vampire in terms of speed/strength, or at least come to a "halfway between".

You could join a werewolf clan, go full Jacob, maybe do some side-quests and have a forbidden romance with a vampire.

You could be bitten but go on a whole looong sidequest to find a cure, with various endings such as dying but not before safely sharing all the data with the relevant authorities which means a cure to vampirism is found.

You could make a pact with Cthulhu, become a spooky cultists and fight the inquisition, maybe work for a vampire a bit and have them become your sugar daddy.

I feel like this could be done the 1st person Deus Ex/Cyberpunk way or the top-down Dragon Age/Cyberpunk way. Honestly, I don't mind Pathfinder Kingmaker levels of graphics as long as there is depth and replayability.

So many possibilities!

Just pick a publisher who isn't afraid of going super dark with the themes, there's no point if it's a toothless 12+ acepticized game.
