Stuck! Can't seem to find a quest. SPOILERS
Please help me find a quest, no one will give me one. After going to the Fu Syndicate to attempt a rescue of the Nosferatu (Barabus?) and not being able to get past the room with the rotating blades (where the Mandarin on the other side of the glass) I reloaded and refused to go through the doors. I then went back a number of times but nothing happens. Per Venus' request, I then got rid of the Thinblood helping the guy with the screenplay, and then attempted to set up the Nosferatu network which, for some reason, it said I failed (maybe I ran out of time, I was never caught). I killed the fortune teller guy in Chinatown and scavenged that other guys eyes, and I killed the slasher and the Keui Jin agent in Santa Monica. At this point, I can't seem to get any quest other than the one where you kill the zombies at the cemetery and invariably wind up with a Masquerade violation. Even after that one, I can't find anyone to give me something to do. I can't even get a meeting with the Prince because Chunk won't let me in and he keeps telling me to come back later because the Prince is still pissed off about the sarcophagus. Any help would be appreciated.

Please put SPOILER in the title of a thread like this one. We still get complaints from players who are just getting into the game.
I'll change this one for you.

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
You need to get past the whirling blades at the Fu Syndicate.
Hint: the controlboxes are on the wall left as you enter, protected with wiremesh. Shoot at them to make the blades stop.

I'd suggest not walking in and out of the building, sometimes (it seems) this game doesn't handle that kind of discontinuity very well - and it wouldn't make a lot of sense in this context anyway. I'd suggest loading a save from before your first attempt to enter teh Fu Labs.
Spoiler, highlight to read: (From memory) .... when standing in the doorway to the room with the blades, look left. Beyond the tracks these blade-things follow are some alcoves with dark panels in the back. Equip a gun - a .38 will do - , crouch and turn left, more or less. Now you need some timing to safely be able to strafe right into the doorway until you can see the back of the first alcove. Fire on it and strafe back. If all went well the first blade-thing will now come to halt on the side opposite of the alcoves. Stop the other blades in a similar way.
Once passed the lab you'll find that the story will continue.
I can't say why you failed Mitnick's quest, most likely because you did get spotted, but as far as I know you should have been notified of failure immediately. If it's any consolation, I consider it one of the more difficult quests, unless you have obfuscate, requiring decent marks in stealth and even then some good observation and timing. I'd suggest going back to a save where you had no failure yet and retry.
Romero's zombies is another hard challenge, there are however 2 alternative solutions (well only 1 for male PC's).
Finally, there is a [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/vampirebloodlines/walkthrough.php"]walkthrough[/url] on this site, neatly organized so you can peek into one quest without seeing the others:

Still Stcuk, Need Fu Sydicate Door Password
I no longer have the save before going into Fu the first time, it was so long ago that I must have deleted it. Anyone know how to get the password for the door on the other side of the Fu lobby? Maybe I can get in that way. Otherwise, I'm basically still stuck with nothing to do.

If you have no saves, not even near the room with the blades, then the only option I see is to try to go through these doors (opposite the large vidscreen) anyway.
If that doesn't work, maybe there is a var to set or the passcode can be found somewhere. I didn't find anything yet. Going through the experiments, if possible, is safest. Or noclip somewhere. Where can you go?

Noclip and Console Mode Freezes Evrything Up
Everytime I've tried to noclip, or even just entered the console and hit enter or clicked submit, the screen just freezes up (in this case, staring at those double doors I'm trying to get through in the Fu Syndicate Conference Room). What do I need to do to get noclip to work? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I think you really need to do the quest from the start, because it's not only about areas you need to access, but also about things you need to do. Unless there is something you can do via the console, but since I never use it, I can't help you there.

You need to end/close the console by hitting that ~ key again. Took me a while to figure out :/

[QUOTE=noahnew]That worked! I'm back in action. Thanks![/QUOTE]
its way easier to acutally slove puzzle jump on the three blades until you reach the back of the room there is a lever to pull its turns the blades off and your off course if your cheating just noclip go round to the fire room one swipe with sword the glass will explode dice all and save barbabus,
also if you use the noclip cheat you can finish game in about an 1hr 30mins
once you get hollywood quest instead of going to see the baron go to the graveyard go to the warrens by diving through the door you exit from (if you finished the game already) if not put the cheat on and then just go through the floor until you can see the steps then take cheat off and go get the fu synidcate building quest you can get round going the right way use the noclip to free nosferatu purge files then its on to the manson to get the tomb
