So Storm Front hinted that the Infected are undergoing a change. From increasing appetites to more feral impulses and increased sensitivity to sunlight.

For story purposes, I suspect it will fall on the rising mana levels and the Infected are becoming closer to their final form, further distancing them from their metahuman origins.

Game mechanic-wise I can sort of see it as it adds flavour to the type as well as balances the character against some of the more unusual abilities they can get. I suspect their increased appetites could be treated as a kind of addiction for making the characters play out the constant gnawing in the belly.

(Who left the lady fingers in a bag under the seat? Seriously, this one still has a ring on it!)

So the question is how is everyone handling Infected in their campaigns. Tragic heroes fighting against their darker selves or Feral beasts revelling in a good old fashioned blood bath (do not forget to rinse behind the ears).
