The only thing I take issue with is everyone's complaint about the language merit. The game makes the assumption that you don't need a merit for your native language.

These are meant to be average people, not experienced collegiate professors - knowing multiple languages is a real talent - not a skill. I think that making language a merit rather than a skill is a *good* thing. And it should be expensive - learning to be fluent in a foreign language takes a lot of time and dedication. Yes, some people take to it like a duck to water - but given the benefit in a game like WoD, I think it is a reasonable balance.
