Why is Jonathans eyes always red?

[Byeah]

been playing for a couple of hours and since the beginning of the game, his eyes have been bloodshot red since the beginning of the game. is it graphical error or am i just missing a mechanic in the game?

Because you fed on someone, probably Clay, the guy who is the tutorial on how to feed. You don't have to kill him, I'm guessing you did.

I did, i didn't think it would cause Jonathans eyes to be red the entire game.

There's consequences to all actions apparentl. I guess the more poeple you embrace the more vampric you'll look

If you killsomeone, they turn slightly red. IF you kill 2 or 3, they are permanently red

The bong was too strong

They turn black and red after you kill too many people XD . Save a life today, be a good doctor and have white eyes \o/ ! jk jk

I get that this is meant to represent your descent into darkness from a gameplay perspective but this really annoys me. I wouldn't even mind it so much if your eyes changed back after enough nights of improving the neighbourhood but no you are stuck with them.

Every other vampire you meet is a killer and they all have normal eyes.

I liked the tokyo ghoul looking eyes so this was a welcome change

Not true. I killed Cox (later, after learning everything and getting his knife) and they were blood red from then on. He's the only person I've killed (Not counting the Guard, which I'm trying to pretend isn't even in the game).

This alone is a terrific point.

Maybe it's meant to be metaphorical? Like, always reminding you that you've set along that path towards losing some aspects of your humanity, which no matter how much good you do later, you will never get back?

That is something I do like about this game, that there are so many social conditions to explore and consider. Nothing is really black and white - it's like the 'best' choices for the pillars. Sometimes it's best to let them die, sometimes it's best to charm them, sometimes it's best to turn them. There is no one perfect solution.

...Sorry, got all philosophical there for a moment! ~_^

Couldnt have said it better myself. thats why i am loving every moment of this game. maybe after i do my first playthrough ill go through and murder everybody available, and as soon as they are available, murder them too! >:D

And then go through again and let everybody live. this game is great and i love it.

That's what I'm thinking, too! Play through once, and then play it again as a total killer! ~_^

I'm trying to do the ultimate good guy run through first, but I do like that choices change the game. Too many are so linear, so I like having different endings! I'm curious to see how much the dialogues change the better (or worse, as the case may be!) you act! ^_^

The part that bugs me though, is the fact that other vampires you come across that feed often,..do not exhibit the symptoms that Johnathon does... It is an inconsistency that irks me a tad lol

My theory for that (so take it for what it's worth) is that the eyes are just meant to be for you. Because the other people you meet don't suddenly freak out when they see Jonathan looking all crazy-eyed later on in the game. So, 'for real', his eyes still look like everyone else's, but in the game world, it's a 4th wall break for just you?

I guess the premise is you don't know by looking what sort of vamps they are, and I'm assuming that they don't know what sort of a guy you are?

It's weird to look at, for sure (and in an odd way, when he's totally evil, it is a bit cool looking), but for the most part, unless I'm being stupid with the camera and wind up spinning it around to look myself in the face, I don't really notice it. Though, maybe when his eyes are black and red, it's way more noticeable?
