Line 3:
* [[Complete Monster]]: Quite a few, which is unsurprising given [[Old World of Darkness|the setting]].
** Andrei is the leader of [[Exclusively Evil|the Sabbat]], so obviously he's bad news. But its not until you reach his lair and [[Body Horror|find out what he's been up to]] that it truly sinks in how depraved he is.
*** This troper found that killing Andrei wasn't a job, but a
** Your first target in the bounty hunter sidequest chain, Stanley Gimble, is a
** The Plaguebearers are a sect of vampires obsessed with death and disease, and plot to spread a deadly plague throughout LA through use of the city's bums and prostitutes, all [[For the Evulz]]. While the leader of the sect, Bishop Vick, arguably has a [[Freudian Excuse]], the other two higher ups you fight have no such excuse and are spreading the plague purely for their twisted amusement.
*** Actually Brother Kanker pretty much believes in Vick's philosophy, it's just Jezebel who seems to be doing it for kicks.
Line 18:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Pretty much the whole soundtrack.
* [[Cult Classic]]: The bugginess of the game as it was originally released put a dent in its popularity, but a dedicated fanbase has grown over the years, especially in light of recent patches.
* [[Disappointing Last Level]]: The game is a very complex, ambitious and non-linear action/RPG with an intriguing, atmospheric story and multiple ways to solve the majority of the quests... until its last act, in which it drops the RPG part and becomes a somewhat hack-fest against waves and waves of enemies and obnoxious boss battles. In fact, while it is perfectly possible to complete most of the game with a non combat oriented character who focuses on - say - stealth or diplomacy but isn't particularly good with guns and swords, in the last chapters such character [[Nintendo Hard|will probably get his/her ass kicked]].▼
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: Notable for the contributing factors. Pretty-much all in-game signs point to {{spoiler|the cab driver being Caine,}} but the developers, when questioned by fans, claim that there is no right answer, and the expanded-universe novel covering Gehenna puts {{spoiler|Caine}} elsewhere. ''However,'' it's entirely possible he put ''himself'' there so Beckett would find him in a circumstance that would make him appear trustworthy, or...yeah, you can justify either point of view.
** If you check out the folders associated with the game on your computer, {{spoiler|all of the Cabbie's voice-files are sitting in a file labeled Caine}}. As for conflicting with the novel, it's worth noting that {{spoiler|Caine is pretty much a vampiric God - disguising his appearance and seeming as if he were in two places at once would be child's play for him}}. If anything, it's possible that almost crossing paths with Beckett in LA is what prompted their later interaction in the novel...
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
** Even the other male Nosferatu don't look horrible, with a hood they could easily live in LA. The male PC Nosferatu is arguably the ugliest of them. However, the FEMALE Nosferatu (PC or NPC) are utterly horrific.
* [[Wangst]]: Mocked; when switching from the Camarilla to the Anarchs, you can tell Damsel, "[[Emo Teen|I hate my parents and I want a divorce.]]"
▲* [[Disappointing Last Level]]: The game is a very complex, ambitious and non-linear action/RPG with an intriguing, atmospheric story and multiple ways to solve the majority of the quests... until its last act, in which it drops the RPG part and becomes a somewhat hack-fest against waves and waves of enemies and obnoxious boss battles.
