* [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]]: Touched on, in true W.O.D. fashion, when Christof pulls a silver cross on a vampire {{spoiler|and it does nothing, because Christof lacks the depth of faith needed to make that trick work. Anezka has no such problem, though.}}

* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Your vampire enemies will never have any problems grabbing you and draining your blood, even if you're wearing a neck protector specifically made to prevent this. And then there's the Tzimizce monsters that have a "bite your head off" instakill move as a standard attack...
* [[The Corrupter]]: Vukodlak is not named "The Defiler" for nothing. That said, nearly every vampire Christof talks to does this, to some extent. It is a [[Old World of Darkness|World of Darkness]], and all that.

* [[Critical Existence Failure]]: All vampires, Christof included, turn to dust when the last hitpoint is gone. The worst they do before that is stagger a bit and gripe about needing blood.

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: The game's title isn't an accident. "Redemption," of a sort, is possible, but Christof really has to work hard for it, and you as the player have to make sure to always make the "good" choice even when other choices seem more [[Shoot the Dog|practical]].

* [[More Dakka]]: In the portions of the game that take place in the middle ages, bows and crossbows are all you have in the ranged weapon department. But by the year 2000, assault rifles are surprisingly easy to come by.
* [[Morality Chain]]: Christof learns early that, if he wants to keep his humanity while bearing the curse of vampirism, he must choose something, some cause, that he can dedicate himself to to keep his sanity. Naturally, he chooses Anezka. {{spoiler|Hence, the significance of Christof killing Anezka in the game's two bad endings.}}

* [[Point of No Return]]: Whenever you move from one city to the next, there's no going back. Fortunately, there's generally no reason to go back, either.
* [[Point Build System]]: You get Experience Points for killing enemies and completing quest objectives, and spend them to increase attributes or but Disciplines, more of which are unlocked when you complete certain story events or find Tomes which teach you the Discipline. What a character has to start is fixed, however.

* [[Save Point]]: You can save anywhere, but there are still savepoints in your haven, vestiges of earlier versions of the game.
* [[Sanity Meter]]: Your Humanity score. When it's at or below 20, you can use the game's most powerful equipment, but if it goes to 0 you literally lose control of your character permanently. Game Over. There's also the Frenzy Meter, which will cause you to go berserk and possibly try to drain your allies' blood if it fills up.

* [[Tactical Suicide Boss]]: Etrius. You take him on in a two-round battle. In the first round, he is incorporeal and cannot be harmed. In the second round, he is not, enabling you to hit him.
