Refueling on some human-sourced sustenance will require you to use your supernatural powers or raw persuasion on civilians so that you can lure them in for a quick sip, and you'll want to do this as discreetly as possible so that you don't break the rules of the Masquerade. That's a vampire societal faux pas that can result in deadly consequences.
"One aspect that was really challenging was presentation, from a first-person perspective," senior game designer Max Bottomley explained on the Bloodlines 2 blog.
