* VanHelsingHateCrimes: While the game in no way minimizes the largely negative impact on the setting, the Society always seems to target the ''least'' threatening, dangerous vampires for extermination. To illustrate, the only two vampires beside yourself they are seen approaching are Ash and Velvet, respectively a DeathSeeker who hates his vampiric existence and a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire who actively makes effort to not kill anyone if she can help it. Both run legitimate businesses and don't seem to have many skeletons in their closets. In contrast, twisted monsters like Andrei and the rest of his Sabbat followers who actively terrorize humanity? They're either unaware of them or won't attack them for whatever reason, and it's up to the very vampires they hunt to take them down instead.
