There is a quest around halfway/later in the game about a snuff film involving a woman being terrorised and killed, as well as a short dungeon involving the studio where snuff films are made. The scene shown is short and not very detailed considering the graphics of the game.

One of the ways of obtaining of blood points is feeding on rats. If you play as a Nosferatu, it's your only way of nutrition besides buying blood packs.

Early in-game, Two characters are shown to have very heavily implied dissociative identity disorder or OSDD. It's not the best representation, but normal for 2004. Malkavians as a clan are predisposed to being mentally ill or are already mentally ill when embraced, and being a malkavian intensifies it. Otherwise, plenty of characters are implied to experience some kind of mental illness, but it's never stated outright.

There is a character with DID who makes threats with a gun, and one version of the protagonist is part of an infamously mentally ill vampire clan. Combat is essential to this game and you can make threats of violence regularly, so the Malkavian protagonist counts.

It's not detailed at all.

The player character can have s*x with some characters, but it's not shown onscreen.
In Chinatown you can see a woman giving oral s*x to a man.
Most of the female characters, player and NPC, are sexualized. There are prostitutes (though you can't have s*x with them) and strip dancers.
At one point of the game you have to read a diary of a prostitute and may learn about sadomasochist tendencies of one of the characters.
In one of the optional sidequests one of the minor NPC turns out to be engaged in an act of b********y though it only gets known from the news.
There is an organization which tries to bring the end of the world by transmitting an infection through sexual intercourses.
