** The Elizabeth Dane can be this if you were really unlucky with your skillpoint allocation. It isn't so bad if you're halfway decent in Persuasion and Hacking. You can persuade the first guard to give you the police report and call away another guard, then you just need to sneak into the cabin, hack the doors and the cameras, take the ledger and off you go. Without even coming close to another guard. And if you're a Nosferatu or a Malkavian, hence gifted with Obfuscate, even the sneaking portions aren't that bad.

*** Even without Obfuscate, if you managed to persuade the first guard but screw up (i.e. take too long and the guard is back at his post), you can just run right by him, pistols aren't going to drop you that fast and you can still avoid killing anyone.

* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: The main menu music sounds almost like an instrumental version of "Angel" by [[Massive Attack]].
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: None of the factions can really match the utter foolishness of the Society of Leopold. Not only do their 'field agents' dress like your typical cliche [[Old World of Darkness|oWoD]] character ( Literally a trenchcoat and a katana), making them stand out like sore thumbs, their base is littered with ammocrates not seen in any other base (not even the sabbat) ripe for anyone to shoot everybody to hogh heaven. The actions of the hunters are also so stupid, it gets lampshaded. But the best example of their foolishness has to be their laser trip-wires, while one might expect the lasers to simply warn the hunters, instead, they are explosive rigged. And why would people fighting against vampires allow their own laser tripwires to be easily toggled between being triggered by vampires (room temperature) and humans (body temperature)? Of course, it could just be [[Law of Conservation of Detail]] and the player character actually does something more complicated to change the settings than pick one in a menu.

* [[Ugly Cute]]: Of all things, Mitnick the hacker Nosferatu. Unlike the other members of the clan, he looks like a perfectly normal 20-something aside from pointed ears and baldness. Some dialogue implies that Mitnick somehow became ''more attractive'' after becoming a Nosferatu.
