** Minor spoilers ahead **
Not necessarily easter eggs but just some silly, stupid, and possibly interesting observations after playing the game umpteen times.
So, did you notice...
[Santa Monica]
-It only rains in Santa Monica.
-What's on TV at the beach house.
-The two tall statues in Therese/Jeanette's room also appear outside the entrance to LaCroix's tower.
-Jeanette's laptop has an entry "Jack" in the contact list. Could it be *the* Jack?
-Therese always stands on the left side of the room's divider (left brain?), and Jeanette always stands on the right side (right brain?). She stands in the middle when she's having her freak out.
-During the endgame gauntlet there is a helicopter on the roof of the Surfside diner.
-Despite being a thin-blood, Rosa's future insight was pretty accurate.
-That sicko Vandal is listed in Kilpatrick's Krime-puter.
[Downtown]
-The Sheriff's cloak looks like it's made of elephant or rhino skin.
-Simon Milligan, the "Haunted LA" guy in Pisha's hideout, was also the name of a character on "[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4FQoznrVwU"]The Kids in the Hall[/url]" show.
-The nasty email on Simon's PC wishing him an untimely demise.
-The Prince never mentions anything about the plaguebearer. Good job maintaining the Masquerade buddy!
-The slight echo in "Nines" voice when you talk to him outside Grout's house.
-You can listen to some humorous commentary as Chunk watches the security cameras. Just re-enter dialog with him before taking the elevator up. You can do this six or seven times.
-Andrei, the Tzimisce, calls the "Deb of Night" show.
-According to Damsel Kindred can't get sick; they don't breathe either. So why does Bishop Vick cough?
-Even though fire has a strong psychological effect on Kindred, Max Strauss has a roaring fire going in the chantry.
-There is a wet bar in the Tremere's special haven... um, why?
[Hollywood]
-The arsty-fartsy Hollywood Toreadors can keep the Camarilla out of their city but the rough-and-tough Downtown Brujah can't.
-The logo on the back of the [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4281&stc=1&d=1265561796"]Red Spot cashier's shirt[/url].
-The nervous horror tape courier behind the Fast Buck isn't frightened by you if you play a Nosferatu. Maybe the alley is too dark for him to see your face.
-Who knew sewers had portcullises?
-The abandoned sewer sections sure are lit well.
-For a Nosferatu, Imalia doesn't look too bad. Hmmm, with the right lighting and a little makeup I might actually...
[Chinatown]
-For Nosferatu, Barabus and Mitnick look more like a bald elves than disfigured monsters.
-Mr. Ox is Leland Gaunt from Stephen King's "Needful Things."
-The [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4279&stc=1&d=1265561764"]black sarcophagus lids in the Fu Syndicate[/url] also appear in the [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4280&stc=1&d=1265561777"]Giovanni crypts[/url]. Hmmm...
-Ming's glowing green nips... in slime form that is. I'm not sure if they glow in human form...
[Bloopers]
-Fat Larry says that the two gangs are meeting "on top of a nearby parking garage" but the Traffik quest levels go downward.
-Andrei mispronounces "Gehenna" as "go-hey-nah."
-Mitnick mispronounces "C.H.U.D" as "chad."
-Jack mispronounces "kine" as "kin."
-According to Beckett the archaeologist's name is "Ingvar Johansen" but according to the TV newsreporter it's "Anders Johansen."
[Miscellaneous]
-The dual staircase and chandeliers from the [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4282&stc=1&d=1265562110"]Ocean Hotel[/url] are reused in the [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4283&stc=1&d=1265562121"]Hallowbrook Hotel[/url].
-Jeanette, Mr. Ox, and the PC female Malk have hetero-chromatic eyes.
-The Steyr AUG sounds really cool when fired while using celerity level 4-5.
-The hideous Nosferatu have the some of the skimpiest outfits of all the player characters. Ugh!
-Corpses fade away but bullet holes and blood stains remain forever.
-You never meet a Kindred with a favorable opinion of LaCroix. At best they are neutral toward him.
-Beckett is a good example of the True Neutral alignment in D&D.
