I love the idea of making Vampire look less and less human as the stages increase, the eyes and the veins of Stage 4 are particularly great at conveying this otherworldly hunger and the feeling that the person you're looking at is less than human and more of monster but the white overlay is far too much. The paleness needs dialed back a bit, as the bright white look is just...ugly, and not in the inhuman monstrous sort of way but rather its just unpleasant to the eyes, and more importantly it covers up body markings which is just tragic as honestly some of those tattoos are great.

I would've thought with Vampires being such a big draw this expansion cycle they would have listened to 6 years of feedback and finally given players a new base appearance or at least a way to mitigate the ugly white overlay but it seems that took a backseat to the skill line revamp. A mortal mask option or even just creating a new skintone entirely that's say.... considerably paler than your races palest skintone seems fair but the bright white overlay just isn't working for a lot of players.
