Sure, sure. You're an immortal vampire, and immensely powerful. Woo hoo! Oh, and at the mercy of ancient power structures well beyond your ken or control. You're at the mercy of games that started before the United States was even founded.

And dealing with people, who act like people because they ARE people...but they are not ...very much not...human. Motivations are different. Drives are different. And every single one of them...is capable of, and can enjoy, terrible cruelties. This may be psychological.

Or maybe they just enjoy literally flaying people alive when not attending art galas

YOU in VtM, whatever that YOU is... are a pawn. Perhaps you get to be a bigger piece on your much, much smaller board. And even a pawn can bring down a King, unlikely though that is. Usually you're just a sacrifice on the board.

You get constantly informed you're not a big shit and while you're the star of your own undead drama... not many else even give a shit about you. You're beyond their notice OR contempt. So yeah, VtM is *always* a jerk around. The fun part is trying to figure OUT who's jerking

you around, and why...and trying to survive it. You may try to manipulate it, or profit from it, or simply again...survive it. And IF you make it through... you'll be led to realize there were 3 other plans going on you had no idea about, influencing you, or misdirecting you

for their OWN interests. Which might be...they were simply bored. Or to piss off someone else entirely. You're beneath notice, just the pawn with who knows how many hands trying to push your moves. Oh and those 3 plans? There were 5 others at least you have NO idea about.

Plus you don't just have one thing jerking you around. There's Camarilla/Anarch politics. That's one area. You need money to survive, so you may be running a biz. If not, you're working for someone who does. That's another jerk around area. Your clan. Jerk around. Cotorie. Sire.

Plus interactions with rando vamps of varying ~ maybe they get bored and just jerk you around because they can. Or they help you because down the road you owe them. That's a huge part of VtM, and how much you want to engage with it is up to you but it IS the ocean.

And all going on while you try to accomplish whatever goals you have, and be whatever monster you're going to be. While dealing with whatever vampire 'curses' come with your clan type. Like Lasombra can't use technology, it glitches out on them. G'luck with that. :)
