Recently I was listening to VTM:B dialogs in folder
C:\Program Files\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines\Vampire\sound\character\dlg\... etc.
and i discovered a pair of tracks i've never heard during the game...
that's strange as i tought i've beaten the game in all the possible ways !
the files are :
regent: line1265_col_e.mp3
mingxiao: line876_col_e.mp3
and so on ..
they all say "I will send you an e-mail concerning this"
i'm just curious to know if anyone received any e-mail from them and how.

This is pure "insurance" by the game makers.
Since voice actors don't come that cheap, they added this line (and some others) just in case they wanted to add an extra little story line concerning these characters. They could then develop most of this storyline by email communication. And wouldn't need to call back the voice actors to record a few extra lines. (You'll notice that all of the characters that have more than a dozen dialog lines have also a number of standard lines like "yes" "no" "what?" and "I'll send you an email", these are part of that insurance scheme).

I think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.

You'll notice that there are some obvious gaffes, too. When you return to feed off seduction cattle, your response to their question is always the same, "Terribly. Let me show you how much." or words to that effect. That response is appropriate for the first, on the bottom floor of the Asylum, but it becomes increasingly inappropriate as you go. The one in Venus Dare's club, for example, says that she thought you'd ditched her, to which you reply, "Terribly." Not exactly the correct thing to say.
