It's a great game and all, but it's glitchy. And glitchy is bad.

There's some kind of bug when talking to LaCroix.
Talk to him about the alliance with Ming Xiao, then he'll say it's
nonsense. You now have to choose what to say. The first two options are
the same:
"You had to do it. To bring the L.A. anarchs under control."
However if you choose the first option he'll confess. If you then choose
"This kind of information could destroy someone. Or not, for the right
price."
He'll tell the sheriff to deal with you. Nothing happens, talk to him again
and he'll say you need to talk to the Anarchs, but you'll not receive any
quest telling you to do so. If you head over to the Last Round, on your
way there you'll meet Beckett and he'll say you'll have this conversation
later. Once at the Last Round you really can't talk to them, you'll be stuck
in the game!
To make sure this doesn't happen, make him call of the Bloodhunt for
Nines Rodriguez and you'll receive the *THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY*
quest.

The game chrashes when escaping the Society of Leopold. This is how
you solve it at the current time.
The following can be found on Activision's official site:
We are still looking into this issue at the current time, but the following
should get you past the issue.
This fix involves using some console commands. Be careful to enter the
console commands exactly as
they appear, capitalization is important.
To enable the console for the game:
1) Right-click on the shortcut you use the launch the game
2) Select properties
3) Make sure you are on the shortcut tab
4) At the end of the target line add -console, add this outside of the quotes
5) The finished line should look like this if you have the game installed to
the default directory
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines\vampire.exe" -
console
6) Hit ok, make sure you launch the game using this shortcut
Once you have enabled the console load the saved game from this level
and do the following
1) Get to the boat and approach it, do not get into the boat, but get as close
as you can
2) Open the console using the tilde "~" key
3) Type the following commands in:
If you saved Johansen:
SaveJohansen()
Then to level transition if you're anybody but a Nosferatu:
changelevel2 la_hub_1 taxi_landmark
And if you're a Nosferatu, instead use:
changelevel2 la_hub_1 sewer_map_landmark
4) If you get to the next level and you do not have any items in your
inventory reload your previous save
(make sure you have a discreet save and are not just using the autosave)
and try it again, but stand
closer to the boat.
