Alternate versions

The opening cut scene, showing the execution, is a random element and never plays the same twice. Different vampire characters are seen in the audience (alongside the major characters), and sometimes the beheading will actually be shown, while other times a closeup of Velvet Velour looking away is shown instead.

In the European version, the Sheriff in the opening execution cut-scene keeps his sword suspended above the head of the player's sire rather than bringing it down to behead him/her. This is because the camera usually doesn't cut away quick enough before the sword beheads the sire, and it was thought that an actual decapitation scene would not pass the German ratings board.
