1. We have seen discipline use in combat on multiple videos by now. But I am interested can disciplines be used in dialogue or non-combat situations like social feeding?

Phyre can have presence and dominate which both are very social disciplines in the tabletop, and they were a thing back in Bloodlines 1.. Of course, especially on an elder, they might make certain dilemmas completely trivial.. But that's how vampires are among kine. "Show me your neck." "Ok." *slurp* "Forget this happened".
Then again, if that doesn't happen, VtM fans will ask 'why not'? Why wouldn't Phyre use these abilities if they are an option. Its would be just common sense.

2. Can Phyre have a haven?
Its somewhat important for a vampire in World of darkness to have a place to sleep during the day, even if the place itself doesn't see much action.. But its something very thematic. It could also be a place where you check messages or meet people in secret..

Keep up the good work!

I think the use of disciplines in dialogue would have been covered if it was going to be included as it would score brownie points with fans of the first game much like they have shown a lot of telekinesis gunplay in response to the complaints on no weapons crowd.

In bloodlines 1 we needed to invest points into these options which came at a cost of more practical talents and abilities there is no such downside in this game as the only handicap on power is how much time you are prepared to farm blood currency from the wandering npcs in Seattle to buy abilties.

There is also the UI limitations any discipline permitted dialogue option would have to fit within the four choice option cap. and then we have to think about all the extra writing to make a system be impactful.

On housing who knows hard suit made some might be reused might not, it would make sense for the sheriff to have a place for people to contract them so we might get something mbh a room in the camarilla stronghold.
