I get it that it's a cool word, but I think this game is using it incorrectly, anyone who's a bigger vampire fan know for sure ? I'm not a massive fan of vampire stories - but I have read "Dracula" and a few forgettable books by Anne Rice, and I'm like 85% confident that the mythology of 'embracing' someone is as I say above - the act of feeding/communion that turns them into a vampire. It's odd that you have to murder the citizens to 'embrace' them, and you're not turning them into a new vampire, you're just drinking their blood. Some vampires will embrace as a cruelty, but most will do it out of lust or loneliness, but to embrace them doesn't mean "take them into your embrace" (to feed), it refers to the intimate act of turning a person into a vampire and bringing them into the society of vampires. So Johnathan Reid is embraced at the start of the game. I personally think this is wrong, and a glaring issue with the game.ġ) The term "embrace" means to take a mortal victim and make them into a vampire. Or, maybe it means a more intimate feeding, so doesn't apply to combat bites - when you find a mortal and feed of them, you are 'embracing' them. In VAMPYR, the term just means to feed, so technically when you're running around grabbing skal and sucking on their neck, the phrase "I embraced that skal" would apply.
