One of the first things you may notice in the title is that the "B" is missing from VTMB, this is not an accident. The Final Nights is an expansion to an otherwise flawless video game built upon the success of the Camarilla Edition series of mods. The "B" has been removed because this expansion can no longer bare the name Bloodlines as it is so far removed from the original game as to warrant the name change. The idea behind this expansion is, and always will be the notion of a completely new experience unlike we've seen so far.
With 7 completely brand new clans, 5 new disciplines, extra quests, new NPCs, new game mechanics and new music, the features seem endless. All of this is being built upon the Camarilla Edition series incorporating such things as the blood timer system, pedestrian blood dolls, and the new combat system. Combined we feel the name Bloodlines must be removed from this game, and thus we now simply have "The Final Nights".
Below are the list of features in VTM: The Final Nights 1.0.
All features included in Camarilla Edition Ver. 1.2

very cool about the final nights I like it than bored usually. I mean dull
You may want to point out that yes seven new clans are included but that they completely replace the old clans (ie. you can not select them on the character creation screen).
that would indeed be a smart thing to do
must... have... to bad i'm at school for the moment x3
i have the final nights 1.0 but i cant use all of the new disciplines ....also it sucks specialy when in some areas like china town ... club area ...you lose humanity pointy for killing enemies wth!
I can't get any of the new clans to load....
