* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Surprisingly, ''Kain'' is hit by this through the lore expansion of the events between Raziel's execution and his resurrection: After ordering Raziel's execution, Kain did not order the genocide of the Razielim clan, he only left orders to his vampiric sons to not fight against each other and vanished from the face of Nosgoth, presumably to prepare for his real gambit. The extermination of the Razielim was carried out by his lieutenants alone.
Added DiffLines:
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: The entire reason why the Razielim are kept alive by the rest of the Lieutenants is because their flight abilities are too useful in the war against the humans to finish them off.
Added DiffLines:
* ContinuityLockOut: Sort of, to really keep track of everything that's featured in the game and the online lore one needs to have knowledge of the original games, from ''Blood Omen'' to ''Defiance''.
Added DiffLines:
* GodzillaThreshold: Two actually, the first is Dumah allowing the Razielim to stay alive under his service after hearing the news of the humans uprising since dealing with the humans takes priority over kinstrife; the second is the meeting in the Sanctuary of the Clans between the five remaining Lieutenants, who only agree to do so after confirming that the human revolt has gained enough traction to threaten the rule of the vampires in Nosgoth.
Added DiffLines:
* PyrrhicVictory: The end conclusion of the war: The humans are defeated and reduced to a single citadel in Nosgoth, losing all of their chances to overthrow the vampires in the centuries to come; however, Dumah would be sealed later on by human hunters, sending his own clan into decay; Turel would be snatched from his time by Azimuth to the past to serve as vessel for Hash'ak'gik, leaving his own clan leaderless; Melchiah's decay and devolution would later on make life unbearable for him; Zephon's conquest of the Silenced Cathedral would ultimately lead to him becoming fused with the structure and Rahab's own victory over water would later make him a waterbound monster unable to walk ashore ever again. As for the vampire race as a whole, Kain's own taint and the corruption of Nosgoth would eventually turn every single one of them into hungering, hideous and primal beasts.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: None of the Lieutenants are happy with having to cooperate with each other, the only things that unites them are their shared disdain for humanity and desire to maintain the supremacy of the vampires over Nosgoth.

Compared to the rest of the series, ''Nosgoth'' is not story driven. Lore is released alongside new content and it can be currently read [[http://forums.eu.square-enix.com/showthread.php?t=7221 here]] but the game itself contains very little overall plot. The gameplay is third-person, with the Human faction being ranged and the Vampire faction being melee. There are currently five classes for each faction (with plans to release more) each with their own distinctive abilities. Each battle involves eight players, with both teams of four swapping to the other faction after ten minutes or thirty kills. Currently there are two different game modes: Team Deathmatch and Flashpoint (King of the Hill). Sometimes Flashpoint is replaced with Drag the Body, a capture the flag like game mode that the developers have not finished. There are plans to release more maps, classes and gameplay modes.
Sadly on April 08, 2016 Square Enix Europe abruptly announced that Nosgoth's servers were shutting down on May 31, 2016. Officially, Square Enix claims that the cancelation was due to Nosgoth "failing to captivate a broad audience".
