skipping the tutorial now gives lockpicks, the .38 and 2xp
food critic quest should now always give reward, only worked in v0.1 under very specific circumstances (if you've already completed this quest, you'll notice it become unfinished in your log - go to your haven and type "tomSetQuestFour()" to complete it and get the reward)
dialogue option from asylum blood donor showing up for the confessions blood donor when playing as a female

v0.1
-----
lily's sire's license plate not showing up in quest log
mercurio not selling the swat rifle

melee attacks doing zero damage when breaking obfuscate level 1 or 2 with an attack
being able to tell strauss you solved his gargoyle problem even if you didn't know he had a gargoyle problem*

-----
not fixing (not considered bugs):

heather goes to haven anyway if rejected outside ventrue tower - intended behaviour
mitnick quest emails disappearing - intended behaviour
museum trip beams leaving door locked to anyone who can't hack - scripts make mention of a key being spawned when the beams are triggered, needs confirming
gary's posters appearing at all havens - intended behaviour

-----
not fixing (look like engine errors)

inventory space issue (items disappearing, but still being in inventory)
frenzy jamming obfuscate on
conversation lockup during beckett's "wait!" cutscene

-----
todo:

conversation lockup when talking to the prince after beckett tells you to go to the society of leopold - need more info about what dialogue line triggers this
conversation lockup when hinting to romero that you would have sex with him, then taking the zombie quest - need more info about what dialogue line triggers this
typos - need a list compiling
