Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (2004)

Clan choice can change your relationship with ordinary streets and conversations. A Nosferatu cannot casually blend into human society, while a Malkavian's distinctive dialogue makes familiar exchanges less reliable. Those differences give being a vampire more substance than a different spell list. This is the original 2004 Los Angeles RPG, with technical rough edges and increasingly combat-heavy later sections. Its strongest role-playing happens in the social spaces between those fights.
