Vampyr is apparently on Steam sale and has adjusted its difficulty scales to allow Story Mode. I don’t care so much about that; I mostly care that I’d rather not play an absolutely horrible monster that absolutely has to eat people to death. I mean, heck: when I played Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY PLAY THE VERSION OF THIS GAME WITH THE UNOFFICIAL PATCH) I played a Toreador who maxed out Humanity early and kept it going throughout the game. I didn’t kill anybody who wasn’t trying to put a crossbow bolt through my chest*. I made a point not to, in fact.
So, is Vampyr absolutely dark and dreary? It can be a little less than absolutely, mind you. I’m willing to work for that Paragon status.

*Although I may have been a little less, ah, benevolent when it came to resolving the status of vampire hunters. That kind of thing sneaks up on you, honestly.
