Day One DLC is a fucking cancer. I'm surprised they didn't put Malkavian there too if they were going to be deliberately slicing off popular clans.

that would require writing the amount of dialogue necessary for it to be considered a malkavian play through. Which would be more effort. Surprised they went to the trouble of making the oblivion discipline In Game. You have sections playing as Fabien who is a malkavian who at least believes he is a detective so they might have programmed Dementation or just reskinned dominate.

So, is the pc still an antedivullian or did they change that too?

Elder but a dumbass one as the playthroughs I saw had the elder tell the prince's sire that has their hand up the prince's hand they were weakened in an auto cutscene

The thing no elder should ever do

Unless:

They want to provoke the prince into taking action.
But the Prince will also suspect that.
Which the Elder planned for so the Prince is more cautious.
But the Prince of course already suspect that too.
Which was all part of the Elders plan.
But the Prince isn't stupid so he knows something is up, so he leaks the information to the radical part of the Anarchs about an weakened Elder, so they can test if he is weakened or not.
Elder barely survives, so now everyone knows "oh he is really weakened" so both the prince as well as the Anarchs are now gunning to take him down.

But it was all all ploy and he got both of the to take the bait, he and his allies take them out, now the prince is weakened and the Anarch are in shambles which allows the Elder and his allies to take over the city. The End

That's the 4D Chess-slash-Risk planning I'd expect from an Elder. Hey, you could even lean into the "weakened" angle by including a supermode where he just uses his powers before theatrically playing up how this drained him and he's left even weaker and- (c'mon, you welps! Take the bait!)
