Vampires are insanely more versatile (without feeling overpowered), and the progression was done just so well that it gives a sense of having earned one's power, but not the sense that one is completely infallible or that one simply stops learning, even at max rank. The inclusion of the customisable dark form, as well as powers one can freely choose, makes it an occult that is only limited by one's bias and imagination.
I could go on a detailed essay, but I've done that enough times.
