 * [[Disappointing Last Level]]: The game is a very complex, ambitious and non-linear action/RPG with an intriguing, atmospheric story and multiple ways to solve the majority of the quests... until its last act, in which it drops the RPG part and becomes a somewhat hack-fest against waves and waves of enemies and obnoxious boss battles. In fact, while it is perfectly possible to complete most of the game with a non combat oriented character who focuses on - say - stealth or diplomacy but isn't particularly good with guns and swords, in the last chapters such character [[Nintendo Hard|will probably get his/her ass kicked]].
 * [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: LaCroix despite being a [[Hate Sink]] and one of the most hated characters in-universe has a surprisingly large number of fangirls.
+* [[Epileptic Trees]]:
-* [[Epileptic Trees]]: Notable for the contributing factors. Pretty-much all in-game signs point to  {{spoiler|the cab driver being Caine,}} but the developers, when questioned by fans, claim that there is no right answer, and the expanded-universe novel covering Gehenna puts  {{spoiler|Caine}} elsewhere. ''However,'' it's entirely possible he put ''himself'' there so Beckett would find him in a circumstance that would make him appear trustworthy, or...yeah, you can justify either point of view.

-** If you check out the folders associated with the game on your computer,  {{spoiler|all of the Cabbie's voice-files are sitting in a file labeled Caine}}. As for conflicting with the novel, it's worth noting that  {{spoiler|Caine is pretty much a vampiric God - disguising his appearance and seeming as if he were in two places at once would be child's play for him}}. If anything, it's possible that almost crossing paths with Beckett in LA is what prompted their later interaction in the novel...

 *** He's the single most powerful vampire on the planet, besides the travelling issue, he could also very easily possess someone from halfways across the world and maintain it for long periods of time.
-** Some fans have suggested that Deb, from the radio show, is Kindred. This would [[Fridge Brilliance|explain a lot]], since she'd probably be how the Camarilla (or the Anarchs) kept tabs on the various crazies--note her reactions to {{spoiler|Andrei}} and that one [[Conspiracy Theorist]] who [[Cassandra Truth|manages to figure everything out]].

Note her reactions to {{spoiler|Andrei}} and that one [[Conspiracy Theorist]] who [[Cassandra Truth|manages to figure everything out]], for the latter, she gets unusually hostile at the guy, and for the former, she says she has to "take care of something" and quickly goes to commercial after the call.
 * [[Fan Dumb]]: Ever since the game was released, there has been a terrible [[Flame War]] that used to rage on PlanetVampire.com between the creators of two competing lines of patches: the Unofficial Patch by Wesp and the True Patch by Tessera. They both acted like melodramatic brats and ended up ruining the game for everyone else.
 ** The story behind the flaming is that Tessera claims that the Unofficial Patch is actually a mod that needlessly changes many aspects of the game and that Wesp is lying by calling it a patch. Furthermore, Tessera believes that the VTMB community's obsession with "modding" the game comes from an unfulfilled subconscious desire for a sequel to the game that will never come, and has stated that he hates the PlanetVampire community and hopes they will choke on Wesp's patch.
