Did you imply the copy in question is not an English-language version? That may be the issue. Somebody in the company may have not known when and where to stop translating stuff, or the non-English ones were made from a different build of the game. Anyhoo, I cannot imagine a translated version of the game will be quite the same experience, because the subtleties of language that convey humor are easily masked and misconstrued when crossing language barriers...
...and the game is damned well funny. The humor comes in any and all varieties and levelsâ from sight gags to crass parody to dry wit, and even breakthroughs of the fourth wall. You have GTA-like radio commercials, you get crude yet funny bits of advice in a tutorial run by Smilin' Jack, and there's always that Malkavian wackiness of an amusing sort (of your own character's dialogueâ should you choose to become a Malkavian vampireâ being just one example).
All in all, the game reminds you often enough that while you may be dead, you're not buried. Though I imagine playing a Nosferatu may not be quite as funny, since you have to hide from public view all too often, making casual conversation all the more difficult.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
