Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Is Isaac a [[Dogged Nice Guy|genuine friend]] that just wants to recover his old relationship with Ash? Or is he an [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|obssesed vampire]] that embraced Ash just to force a relationship, whatever might be its [[Homoerotic Subtext|nature]], between them?
* [[Complete Monster]]: Quite a few, which is unsurprising given [[Old World of Darkness (Tabletop Game)|the setting]].
** Andrei is the leader of [[Always Chaotic 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 PRIVELAGE. As I proceded through his lair, I just kept getting angrier and angrier at the atrocities he's made from innocents.
Line 39:
* [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!]]: Beckett and Strauss sometimes get this treatment by the fandom.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: If you look on Simon Milligan's computer when you come to deal with him for Pisha, you discover that they were planning on shooting the next episode in the zombie-filled graveyard in Hollywood.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: You can tell E after {{spoiler|rescuing Lilly}} "Vampires in love, [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|you two make a great airport paperback]]"
** One radio commercial is for a "Frankenstein" game parodying ''VtM: Bloodlines'' (down to being created by Troika themselves!). One of the gamelines in the ''[[New World of Darkness (Tabletop Game)|New World of Darkness]]'' is ''[[Promethean: The Created (Tabletop Game)|Promethean: The Created]]'', which is, at its most basic, ''exactly'' such a thing.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]:
** Think you can breeze through the haunted hotel level because you're a big, scary vampire? [[Rule of Scary|You're wrong.]]
Line 52:
*** Even without Obfuscate if you managed to persuade the first guard but screw up (i.e. take too long and the guard is back at his post) you can just run right by him, pistols aren't going to drop you that fast and you can still avoid killing anyone.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Quite a few. One section of the Fun With Pestilence quest in particular: {{spoiler|"I'm a friend of Paul's. He just wanted me to come and check up on you."}}
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: None of the factions can really match the utter foolishness of the Society of Leopold. Not only do their 'field agents' dress like your typical cliche [[Old World of Darkness (Tabletop Game)|oWoD]] character ( Literally a trenchcoat and a katana), making them stand out like sore thumbs, their base is littered with ammocrates not seen in any other base (not even the sabbat) ripe for anyone to shoot everybody to hogh heaven. The actions of the hunters are also so stupid, it gets lampshaded. But the best example of their foolishness has to be their laser trip-wires, while one might expect the lasers to simply warn the hunters, instead, they are explosive rigged. And why would people fighting against vampires allow their own laser tripwires to be easily toggled between being triggered by vampires (room temperature) and humans (body temperature)? Of course, it could just be [[Law of Conservation of Detail]] and the player character actually does something more complicated to change the settings than pick one in a menu.
* [[Ugly Cute]]: Of all things, Mitnick the hacker Nosferatu. Unlike the other members of the clan, he looks like a perfectly normal 20-something aside from pointed ears and baldness. Some dialogue implies that Mitnick somehow became ''more attractive'' after becoming a Nosferatu.
** Which raises the question of how ugly he must have been before he was turned.
