LA by night mod

I started yesterday with the hotfix and I got some problems:
According to the quest log, there should be a producer with Skelter's "after Vietnam" film in Skyline apt 1. But there is nobody, and no film the steal, either. Just a computer with a subdirectory but no functions.
Then I'm supposed to meet Mitnick on the pier after talking to Barabus in the Tattoo parlor, but he is not there.
And I could solve the quest to get (or rather not get) Isaak's support before I even had it assigned.

And I have spotted several inconsistencies to "official" Bloodlines history:
-Mercurio can't be LaCroix' personal ghoul because in his dialogue he states that he rarely meets the man.
-Mitnick is embraced by Gary after breaking into a Nosferatu database. He does not mention meeting another Nosferatu previously.
-Nines never assumes the title of Baron for Downtown. And he only became leader of the downtown anarchs after the war with the Kuey Jin where he was the most senior survivor.
-I'm not finished yet, but shouldn't Therese be Baron of Santa Monica, not this Jenna character?
-Also if you want to include what happened in Prelude, the Hollywood club shouldn't be called "Asp Hole" because in Prelude I the door guard at the Chateau Hotel mentions that Ash is in the process of opening a club in Hollywood, but a name has not yet been assigned.

Then I don't think Jack is in LA more than 10 years before Bloodlines, but on the other hand I think the Chantry should be open. I think Strauss was in LA before the Cam got kicked out in the 1930s and just stayed behind and kept his head down. If the barons didn't even bother to contact Grout, why would they mind a Tremere who doesn't create a fuss?

On the up-side the problem with the downtown crashes really seems to be resolved. Last week I had several, now with the hotfix none.

I agree with Malkav on the Mercurio situation, I always assumed that he is the ghoul to some other Ventrue in LaCroix's team but not LaCroix himself. As I said earlier, you always try to reuse existing characters although you have so many great new models! I would swap Mercurio with a new character which will also make voicing him later much easier. The same goes for Mitnick. I believe the real Mitnick hacker was a teenager so ten years before Bloodlines he would have been a kid! Just invent a new character and use a new model. Malkav's comment on the Asp Hole is also true, although I don't see an easy solution there. Maybe just change the logo and the name of the club? The more you change graphics in the maps the more players will believe this is 10 years earlier anyway! Right now very little has changed, maybe rename other places like Ground Zero and more too...

Malkav, Wesp5:

If I had too mention five persons with the biggest lore knowledge of this game, you two will surely be in my list... 
I understand several of your comments, and I think that regular players wont know or even think of those things... but since my goal is that the  history fits, I try to keep your advice in mind. For example, using Liotta is a mistake, yes, and will be solved on v2. About Mitnick, well, it could be discussed, but since his identity is not relevant I can change it, or add in v2 a quest to hack a Nosferatu db...
I like to use vanilla characters because players can find the ties between mods, that helps building a history, but yes, it can result in what people had "assumed" about a character, doesn't fit with that I had assumed. (I'm talking about Mercurio and Strauss.)

I tried to not break the history, but I can't avoid that people's assumptions are not same as mine, for example I read a post talking about how powerful Mercurio would be being a ghoul since 1970. In my mind he's not so powerful, (if he was, he wouldnt have beeen beaten by the surfers), he's a resourceful guy with contacts.

About the posters and newspapers that don't fit the era, I knew this before the v1 releases, nothing is done yet, it will be done in the polishing phase (probably v3).

About the Setite in the Asp Hole, talking about ties, she's the same character that is in Berlin in War Games, she's looking for the spell of life (called for some vampires (like salubri) Golconda, her history, if you remember, involved Pisha and failed, but she got the clue that she needs the voice of morte (that's why she's in LA now, and why Pisha will be there 10 years later).

Now talking about something specific: "One thing I don't like is that you have to travel that much to get the quests done, and no clue what skill requirements are to be expected. Would be nice to have some starting quests just downtown to get a base stock of xp. For example, the Toreador I tried last week was unable to do the bank quest because I couldn't assign enough starting points to hacking and lockpicking."
* Since this is part of the main story, I assume that not all people will have 5 in lockpicking (3 if you use bloodbuff), to open this door. You can use the side door to enter, when you try to pick this door, the guard is aware and comes, you can persuade/seduce/dominate/presence him. Even if you can't do any of those things... you can insult him, he opens the door and fights with you. And about hacking, LaCroix encourages you to go first to Ground 0 and learn about computers, anyway, the computer password is on a paper in the kitchen.

Malkav, if you find the map where the Nosferatu radar is present, please tell me, it's my fault because the Assamite replaces the Nossie and I forgot change tolerances in this map and it must been changed.

It is the sinbin, but you only notice if you go down to the peepshow or at least near the stairs.
On another note, on the sm schreckhub map the "printo" entity has some broken lines, but nothing that could cause problems.

I ran into a problem with the Endron quest if I support the activists: I got the evidence, but no quest update and the variable wasn't updated either, so I can't hand it in.
