Line 254:
* [[It's Up to You]]: You are apparently the ''only'' agent (or at least the only competent agent) that Sebastian LaCroix has access to, despite his being a Prince, a Ventrue Elder, and rich enough to own the tallest skyscraper in downtown Los Angles. Also, in a city full of vampires that have been around the block a time or three-hundred, only you (a newly turned Childe) can defeat the ghosts/zombie cult/vampire-hunting fanatics/etc.
** One of the [[Let's Play]] articles on this game raises a fair point: {{spoiler|1=LaCroix ''is trying to kill you''. He's sending you on exceedingly dangerous [[Suicide Mission|Suicide Missions]] ever since Nines' protest stopped him from publicly killing you. In his mind: [[Xanatos Gambit|you die, he wins. You succeed, he wins]]. Well, he ''is'' a Ventrue, and most older vampires would likely have the sense not to stick their necks out in the sort of missions you get assigned}}.
*** Plus, La Croix isn't exactly respected. He's a very, very young Prince. It's only the Sheriff's imposing presence that keeps him in power. And you don't run into that many Camarilla sympathisers over the course of the game. And the most pro-Camarilla dude, Maximillian Strauss, the Tremere Primogen, will still happily see LaCroix's ass on a stick. And you're weak enough for him to [[Mind Control|Dominate]] into doing his dirty work, although the actual rules for Dominate make this inconsistent; see [[Improbable Power Discrepancy]]
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Gary, formerly a famously handsome movie star, and Imalia, once a model, are now Nosferatu, hideously disfigured by their vampiric condition.
** Imalia is understandably bitter about this. Gary seems oddly unbothered (though he's had at least a few decades to adjust).
* [[Jiggle Physics]]: The game has numerous female models for the player to control, depending on what type of vampire he/she chooses. Oddly, only some of these have jiggle physics
** Any character with breasts of the "jigging" type can have her breast size adjusted with a console command.
*** Which can be very confusing for those who type in "money 1000" expecting to receive 1000 dollars, only to find that all the women suddenly have ridiculously large polygons protruding from their chests.
