And Barabbah, I suppose you bring up a good point, though...I wonder if the Storyteller would place them at a lower starting Humanity by implying that although such kills might not upset the person doing the killing, Humanity is fairly objective at some point. I'm thinking Humanity 5 or 6, around the point where killing people isn't a big deal unless it's someone you personally care about like a loved one or someone you truly believe in (i.e. a pillar of the community in your mind).
All this is assuming we even have a humanity meter in the game.
Also assuming they don't just explain all these questions about how a thin-blood could join a Clan and become a highly powerful vampire in short order away with "A wizard did it!" (could even be literal, not just metaphorical in the WoD, lol) in the name of plot-expediency. X-D
At the end there is a short Gameplay Sneak Peak.By the Way could be "Born a Crime" a reference to book with same name from Daily Show host Trevor Noah?

X-DI think Mitsoda will give us "just enough" to keep us guessing at what really happened.The Tzimisce from the first game said something was off about the fledgling's blood, which is important considering how Cain was manipulating all events in the shadows. It could be possible that the fledgling's blood had something special after all.I bet the explanation for "The Thin-Blood's" induction into a clan won't be fully explained, the event might keep us guessing at what really happened, without it being a clear "You got tremered bro!"
Obviously this is subjective, but I can't possibly imagine them doing that. Going from being a thin-blood to not a thin-blood without something being presented seems highly unlikely to me. At best, there might be a Tremere ritual that "strengthens your blood" or something along those lines that's fairly vague, but just saying that you're a clan all of a sudden without any event to make it happen does not seem like the sort of thing Mitsoda would do. The oddness in Bloodlines 1's protagonist's blood may be there, but it's not a change in a state of being for the player character from one playable situation to the next with a sudden inexplicable change that's never resolved. If Bloodlines 2 does what you're proposing, it would have some super shitty writing.
To clarify, it would be an event we would all speculate upon. Something we can clearly see but not understand.

I'm betting we'll get to do a blood hunt for a 13th generation member of the clan we want to join. Either that or we'll delight the Prince or someone enough to get a "legal" Diablerie of a captured (and possible in torpor) violator of the Masquerade who has been sentenced to the Final Death.
