So if the Prince really did extemp this whole thing, I guess checking up on Mercutio was just some random bit of unimportant scutwork he fobbed off on us?

I do like the tutorial as a complete showoff of the game mechanics that doesn't feel too forced, though I could swear the rainbow of conversation options popped up in the early game somewhere.

There's a theory going around that the "friend" sending us these chess-motif messages is actually Grout, who faked his death, knowing he wasn't safe in his mansion anymore.

So are Malkavians more given or less given to elaborate schemes than the rest of the vampires?
